Man I don't miss the revolving door of QB's I hoped against hope would end up good.

It really is pretty telling of how desperate they are for a QB.
Look, I'm a Mizzou guy and I really like Drew Lock. He has a big arm, he has some swagger/confidence, and he's athletic. He throws a good deep ball and a really, really good seam route. He's tough and will take a hit to deliver a throw.
I think his upside falls somewhere in the Matthew Stafford range. But he still has enough questions that the floor is "average- to below-average starter."
His accuracy on timing routes and short and intermediate passes over the middle of the field is questionable. His performance late in their season last year was pretty pedestrian outside of shredding a weak Texans' defense.
He's got a long way to go before we know where he's going to land. I'm going to guess it isn't on the 10th floor (Mahomes-Rodgers-Brady-Manning) and isn't on the 2nd floor (Blaine Gabbert). 6th floor (Matthew Stafford) seems about right.
