2019 NFL Draft: 5 better QB options over Kyler Murray

Now we’re getting into the meat of this quarterback class for the NFL Draft. The former Mizzou Tigers quarterback and dynamic four-star recruit Drew Lock had himself a lengthy career playing in the SEC. Lock set a ton of records during his time at Mizzou, which was pretty impressive considering the competition level.

What makes Lock so special is the natural arm talent and his underrated athleticism. He doesn’t have the best speed in this draft class, but he has enough to roll out of the pocket and hit his looks when need be. This is the type of quarterback prospect that will fit the profile as more of a pocket passer than a dual-threat.

The magical 2017 campaign saw Lock toss 44 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. That’s likely something he can’t replicate at the next level. But, it does highlight what Lock is able to do when he truly gets in a good rhythm. He showed something similar this past season when he totaled 15 touchdowns and just two interceptions in the final five games.

The draw for Lock is that he has the prototypical size for a pro quarterback and the arm that scouts love to see. He also showed steady progression during his career at Mizzou in terms of going through his reads and completing more of his passes. Each season saw him improve in completion percentage.
