2017 NFL Mock Draft: Mitch Trubisky Falls Out of Round 1

All of the sudden this season, Mitch Trubisky became one of this draft’s hottest prospects. But the more tape I see the less I believe he belongs in the first round.

North Carolina QB Mitch Trubisky is being sold these days and I’m just not buying. This is a weak QB class but Trubisky is far from the the best one in it. He has the tools for the position but has a lot to develop before he’s ready to play in the NFL.

Notre Dame QB Deshone Kizer and Clemson QB Deshaun Watson are miles ahead of him. I’m really not even sure that Trubisky is the third best QB coming out in this draft. There has been talk of teams in the Top-3 loving him but they must be gaging trade interest.

Trubisky has a good TD to INT ratio and threw for a high yardage total but that’s what happens in the spread offense. In his only season as a starter, he went 8-5 and didn’t win anything. Most importantly, he didn’t show the real traits that make a quarterback.

He has the overrated arm strength, size and athleticism but that’s it. He has accuracy issues down the field, freaks out under pressure from the defense and isn’t a big game performer. If you look at his game against Stanford, you see everything that’s wrong with him.

Plus scouts don’t usually trust a one-hit wonder at QB so I have him falling out of the first round.
