The guy has all the raw skills one wants in a traditional QB but he could have used another year in college.

Ask Joe Montana, Tom Brady, or Dak Prescott- drafting a QB in the lower rounds gives you an edge, a chip on your shoulder that gives you a will to win.

Eason and Fromm both should have waited a year. Too late now.

Colts need a young QB to groom for a couple years behind Rivers. This may be just the pick. If he’s still around by then.

Eason has a perfect NFL quarterback body.

6'6” and 230 pounds.

As a freshman at Georgia, he came off the bench in the first game of the year and started every game after that.

The next year, Eason got hurt in the first game.

Jake Fromm replaced him. Fromm took Georgia to the national championship game, and Eason could not win his job back.

Eason transferred to U. Washington and played one year.

He was 8-5, but went 4-4 in his last eight games. He had 23 TDs - 8 Interceptions - 64.2% Completions - He rarely runs with the ball.

My guess - most NFL teams do not believe he will ever be a reliable starting QB at the professional level.

Amazing how few PAC-12 players got the call.

Kellen Moore was the winningest college quarterback of all time 51 wins and 3 losses. He was undrafted free agent who spent his career mostly as a practice sqaud qb for the Cowboys. He is now their offensive coordinator.

So being the best in college does not mean you are going to have a career in the NFL.
