He's a good player, very fun to watch at times. But his game does not translate to the next level. Arm strength and accuracy would be a major concern. I would be pissed if my team took him high. DWI ducks fans

Winston has looked much, much better. Take away drops and the option mess up and Winston has played pretty much flawlessly

Yeah because one half of football is the only thing that should matter in the evaluation of his entire college career. You should send in your analysis to the NFL scouts. Without it they'd probably be lost

He reminds me of Kaepernick, but not as dynamic of a runner nor physically imposing.

He seems a little too system-y for my tastes.

I don't think there is a good QB in this draft. It's a shame that NFL offensive schemes all require a great QB at this point, considering how a rare an elite QB is.

Not close to the top of the list of concerns with this guy. Let's start with the fact that he's made approximately 0 pro level passing reads in his career and about 4 pro level throws. You're basically training a high school QB in an NFL body to be a QB. He screams Kap without all the docuhiness. He could be good, but he will either need a system specifically designed for him (similar to RG3 2012) or to sit for a pretty long time.
