Granted, many of the draft’s top signal callers have their redeeming qualities that could turn them into franchise passers. While Dwayne Haskins lacks mobility and consistent accuracy, he’s a quarterback smarter than his years who broke records in the Big Ten. While Drew Lock has major footwork issues, his athleticism and leadership qualities make him a desirable signal caller for NFL suitors. Then there’s Kyler Murray, who, for all the risk he provides, possesses elite arm talent and speed, two franchise traits that can’t be taught.
Teams can convince themselves that their guy at quarterback is in the 2019 NFL Draft, and their confidence could prove to be a smart investment, in time.
