What he does not have is Griffin's sheer freaky athleticism (or Griffin's pair of military parents, making him such a character goldmine, story-wise). So I would put him under RG3. But I do think he's a QB who could transition quickly to the pro game. And while he does not have Griffin's legs, he is very mobile in his own right. And I think he'd be in the discussion for the #1 pick in any recent draft aside from last year.
So he's a notch or two above Tannehill in terms of quarterbacking ability at this particular point, but not as athletic, in your opinion?

You know me, I'm not trying to put you on the spot nor am I aiming for a "Gotcha" moment.

If that's the case, I'd be more than happy to see him drafted.
