ESPN’s Mel Kiper mocks Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart to Saints at #9

SweetT said

I’m highly convinced that if there any other QB, not named Sheduer Sanders, who threw for 4100K yards, 74% completion, and 37 TDs vs 10 INTs, then everyone would want to sell the farm for him. Look, I’ll admit that his attitude/bravado is off putting to a lot of people, but to say he’s not worth a top 20 pick is ridiculous. Give me a guy with his level of confidence, along with his accuracy, and pocket presence

I'll give you accuracy, but I think his pocket presence has a long way to go. He tends to hold onto the ball too long and tries to go backward to bail out of the pocket which results in him taking a lot of sacks.

I do think he gets too much criticism and a lot of it is due to who his father is and to call him "trash" or anything similar is insane, but I do think there are reasonable reasons to think he should be a late first or second round pick. I think his lack of pocket awareness that leads to too many sacks, lack of a great arm, and failing to ever really take over a game at Colorado push him down a bit.

As far as his bravado, I think if things are going great his team will feed off of it, but if things go wrong it could rub a lot of guys the wrong way.
