re: Mike Mayock's 2017 NFL Draft position rankings

Admittedly I know very little about Kizer and never watch ND so really have maybe seen him throw 15 passes total, but there has to be a reason so many mocks and rankings have had him as the #1 or #2 QB and a high end prospect.

People tend to put too much stock into college performances versus the raw talent an NFL team sees and wants to develop.

There has to be aspects to him that teams are liking, arm strength, accuracy, pocket presence, ability to read a defense at the line and adjust etc.

I know that the Raiders didn't give two shits about what Carr did at Fresno, they loved his quick release throwing motion, accuracy and arm strength from the get go and had him as their #1 QB on their board well before the draft.
