Ever wondered how scouts evaluate quarterbacks ahead of the NFL Draft?
And that's just what the Daft on Draft Podcast is hoping to accomplish in their latest scouting series. This series, titled "What to watch for when scouting," will go through every position with a guest to help to break down the finer details of scouting each position on the football field.. Here, however, we take what Derrik Klassen of Bleacher Report and Reception Perception had to say about evaluating quarterbacks and transcribe it so readers can join the discussions too.
That is like the general framework. Like, again, if you're throwing just... a stick route, and you're throwing it into, like where it's technically within your receiver's frame, but you're throwing it into the leverage, okay, that's a bad ball. Like it's stuff like that. So I think that's something to keep in mind. Whereas... if you're just throwing a go ball and he has six steps on the corner, it's okay if you slow us down a little bit.
So I think accuracy... you can start with the framework of just keep it away from the defense, making it easy for your guy. But there are certain throws that require the receiver to go straight in for the ball. And that's okay if the quarterback puts it there. In fact, that's ideal. We have to remember these, the guys who catch the ball, they get paid to make a play. The quarterback can't be doing everything. It's okay that the receiver has to do some part of this.
So the footwork stuff, I think, is extremely fixable. I'm not all that worried about it. You have to consider coming from a lot of these offenses, especially the guys that are in these air raids, they're not taught one to two to three crisp footwork. It's like, 'Hey man, just get to the throw however you can get to the throw.' And so I think that's definitely something to keep in mind."Klassen: "And then I kind of lump pre-snap stuff, you can learn.
And then I think guys understanding where and when blitzes are coming from. That again, no matter the offense that you're playing in, that is something you can see just based on how is the safety capping a slot receiver? Hhow are they aligned their front? Are they in something weird that looks like it should be a blitz front? Is this something they typically drop guys out of? Just stuff like that. I think no matter the offense, you can always standardize.
