The NFL Draft is little more than week away, but we have known this years players for almost four months. Do we really know these players? Lets find out with scoring reports on the drafts’ top prospects
Sports World News NFL Mock Draft 8.0
Player: Jimmy Garopolo
Summary: Garoppolo has flown under the radar and only made the Senior Bowl after another quarterback couldn’t attend. Garoppolo has surged up draft boards ever since the Senior Bowl and no other prospect has been able to match his incredible rise. Garoppolo is a boom-or-bust prospect that could pay off for the team looking for a quarterback on discount.
Pros:
- Excellent mechanics
- Accurate
- Motivated
- Smart
- Great footwork
- Improved every season
Cons:
- Small hands
- Fumbles
- Little to no mobility
- Learning curve
Pro Comparison: Tony Romo
Romo and Garropolo went to Eastern Illinois so the comparisons were bound to come. Romo is more mobile and spontaneous in his play, but he and Garropolo do match up pretty well. Garropolo has all the tools to succeed at the next level much like Romo does. Romo turned out okay and he wasn't drafted, but Garropolo will be and will have expectations that come with being a high selection.
Perfect Fits: Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders
Garropolo is a fit for any team looking to have a more traditional pocket passer as opposed to the new wave dual threat players. Garropolo will sit in the pocket and delver strike after strike with his big arm. The Browns and Jaguars could be the right fits if the two teams decide they don’t want to break the bank on a first round quarterback in the top five.
