Month: February 2023

My key takeaways:

• Sounds like all the various draft evaluations of Will Levis have been pretty spot on

• Will has a rail-gun for an arm with a short dart like throwing motion which translates well to the NFL because you want to be able to get throws off in a small space

• Very classic NFL measurables (size, weight) with decent mobility

• Played with lesser talent which makes evaluation a little bit more difficult

• But does have a few instances of very questionable decision making without pressure

Ultimately it’ll come down to how scouts evaluate Will’s ability to quicken his decision making/processing ability and general football intelligence to, let’s say, close the gap of someone at CJ Stroud’s level. If he can be coached to make better reads, his upside is very appealing. If we’re going quarterback at 1.02 I’d rather have CJ Stroud, but if we take Will Anderson and look for a high ceiling guy at 1.12, I wouldn’t be sad about taking Levis.
