DeShone Kizer. 10. player. 32. Deshone Kizer is the most talented and most pro ready quarterback prospect in the draft. He has a big arm and throws with timing and anticipation into tight windows like they do in the NFL. He also has touch and accuracy and he is a dual threat with his ability to run. <p>Kizer has prototypical size at 6’4″ 235 pounds to take the beating quarterbacks take in the pocket. He is unafraid to stand in there to throw an accurate ball when he knows a big hit is coming. However, his team went 4-8 and his numbers were down this season.</p><div class=. QB. Notre Dame

He lost too many players to the NFL, the same way Jameis Winston did before his last season at Florida State. He’s still my No. 1 quarterback in this draft but I can’t ignore what I heard about Trubisky. He calls plays, makes pre-snap reads and goes through his progressions.

Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals would be happy to make this pick right here at No. 14 overall. He the perfect guy to be the new franchise quarterback once the Carson Palmer era is over. The team around Palmer is pretty young so it’s a good situation for Kizer.
