He may have been projected there at the start of the year, but after the year he had, there is no way Nuss was going that high this year. If he was, he would have come out for the draft. He was down right terrible in a few games this year. That's not going to get you taken in the first or second.
He was maybe going to be a 4th or 5th round pick. He has some talent, but he needs to work on his accuracy, ball placement, and pocket awareness. He also has a tendency to hold onto the ball too long and tries to play too much hero ball.
He could develop into a high first guy because he has that kind of talent. But he need a lot of work.
