This is a very interesting draft in regards to the Quarterback class. This is because all of the prospects have a major flaw of sorts, but aside from that flaw they're all incredibly talented, with very high Ceilings. Honestly I think this draft class is very underrated, we may have been spoiled with the most recent drafts with more complete players who had the ability to start and star right away. Because in this class there is a massive amount of players who will be able to start and be franchise QB's. A key for players in this draft will be the Coaching staff they are placed with and the schemes that they will be put in. Coachs are going to have to change schemes to the QB like the 49ers did with Keapernick, or draft a QB that already fits in there offensive scheme. For example Mike Glennon would be a perfect with the Cardinals and Bruce Arians offence. He likes tall, strong armed, Qb's and is brilliant when it comes to raising up Qb's like , Luck, Roethlisberger. I would go as far to say Glennon would play up to a first round billing if he is brought onto this team. Obviously he fits better in the second round, and there is a good chance they can get him there but still.
The point of this is to show, or atleast argue that these Qb's are very talented and when put in the right situation, will flourish. So instead of looking to much at the flaws, they should look at the strengths and then pull them out. Ryan Nassib would be great if put in a situation like Andy Dalton was, because these two Qb's are incredibly similar. If put in the right situation Nassib could even be better just because he has better physical tools. E.J. Manuel needs to be put in an offence that focuses on intermediate routes, and put less emphasis on Deeps balls and short routes. Matt Barkley will need a team with a great O-line and a pure west coast offense because he is not very talented physically, but is smart so the team who takes him will have to focus on that. Geno Smith has less flaws but his footwork is shady and at WVU really just "rocked" back in the pocket. So he either need a staff that will pay ample attention to that or utilize an offence that doesn't require polished footwork, really he would fit is a lot of offences without much of a problem.
Now that's not to say there are some Qb's that are just not cut out for NFL in this draft and are overly hyped. Qb's such as Dysert, or Klien. Dysert who is just inaccurate and not that talented and Klien who just doesn't have the physical tool. Just a great College Qb, like Tebow, or Kellen Moore.
For the curious, I will toss in my Qb standings just for your viewing pleasure.
