I'd have really liked to have seen him go somewhere else. There's no reason at all that he can't be the 2nd best QB to come out of that draft. He has every bit the talent of Jones/Haskins and in my eyes more. And I kinda like Jones.
Honestly, I'd prefer him to Josh Allen long-term if I were picking right now. Lock just throws a more consistent ball even if he's not the athlete that Allen is.
But yeah, that erratic decisionmaking and occasional poor feel for the pocket is something he'll have to iron out to become a truly top tier guy.

I never understood the Stafford projection. Lock has a plus arm but he ain’t Stafford. I’d put Stafford as a top 5 arm in the league. He’s one of the few that can rifle ball 40+ yards downfield with excellent velocity.
I see a lot of Derek Carr in him. Very good but not great arm, mobile, did well at a college that wasn’t a powerhouse. Biggest thing to me that kinda links Cousins and Carr to Lock is the poor decision making when any type of pressure is applied to him. He just turns to shit and everything falls apart for him.
I think Spags knew that too. All of those blitzes really made Lock nervous and highlighted this.
The Broncos were smart to give Glasgow big money and draft Cushenberry. They are going to have to find a competent LT though bc Lock’s success will be heavily tied to his protection.
