The quarterback position makes its first appearance here in this grouping. I have Washington State’s Luke Falk as my No. 1 rated quarterback with Deshaun Watson right behind him. Falk is an underrated prospect who has all the tools needed to succeed in the NFL.
I’ve long championed Falk’s ability to go through his progressions despite playing in Mike Leach’s spread attack. He’s more ready than most of the quarterbacks entering the NFL after working in that type of system.
Virginia Tech’s Bucky Hodges is a name to watch as he’s going to blow up the combine. He has an elite combination of size and athleticism. Hodges is one of the more explosive athletes in this draft and will be seen as a major mismatch working from his tight end position.
