I'm excited for next year (draft wise) 2019 here in a flash

It will be interesting to see how these early prospect rankings change like they do every calendar year.

THE QUARTERBACKS
Ryan Finley, N.C. State: Listed at 6' 4", 210 pounds on the spring football roster, the fifth-year senior started last season on a tear; he didn’t throw a pick until the eighth game of the year. This past draft season, when discussing QBs who didn’t have notable mobility, one of the points I heard multiple times was the ability to throw from multiple release points. Finley has this fun, dart-tossing release but also has the traditional, picturesque throwing motion. I think if his timing improves, and he rids his tape of the occasional Blake Bortles screwball, the Wolfpack will have another NFL-caliber starter to boast.

Drew Lock, Missouri: He could be this year’s Josh Allen, where scouts drool over Lock’s gorgeous delivery and cannon arm, but wonder about how everything else falls into place. Lock gets rid of the ball quickly and completes tough throws under pressure, and while he peppers those brilliant moments with some maddening, high-risk throws into coverage, he’ll be on a pedestal for 2018.

Shea Patterson, Michigan: He could be the best quarterback Jim Harbaugh has had at Michigan. The Ole Miss transfer lacks ideal side (listed at 6' 2", 203 pounds), which is close to 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield. While I’ve seen comparisons between Patterson and Johnny Manziel, I think Mayfield is a closer connection. Both have significant functional mobility (think a super-charged Alex Smith), though Mayfield’s accuracy put him over the top this season. If Mayfield has success as a rookie, it could put teams more at ease when it comes to shorter, more athletic quarterbacks, like Patterson, moving forward.

Will Grier, West Virginia: Grier has a massive arm, and teams will be attracted to his mobility, which will allow coordinators to install some different run pass-options and zone-read concepts to diversify the run game. Outside of Finley, most of the top FBS quarterbacks in the 2019 draft will have an option component to their game, which is a sign of the times. Could it be that NFL teams waiting too long to alter their approach will miss out on some quality quarterbacks?

Jarrett Stidham, Auburn: Listed a 6' 3", 214 pounds, Stidham needs to become better as an anticipatory thrower and has to iron things out under relentless pressure, but he has the stage and the competition to separate himself quickly. He completed 66.5% of his passes last year, with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Other names to watch: A torn ACL last bowl season makes 2018 a complicated year for Clayton Thorson, Northwestern’s 6' 4", 225-pound senior … Buffalo’s Tyree Jackson, a 6' 7", 245-pound junior, is probably a year away. Still, that size and speed is not going to go unchecked by scouts ... North Dakota State’s Easton Stick sneaks into the NFL measurables comfort zone (6' 2", 225 pounds) and won the FCS title game MVP last year. He also threw for 2,466 yards, 28 touchdowns and eight interceptions (plus 663 rushing yards) at Carson Wentz’s place, where scouts now take up permanent residence … North Carolina A&T’s Lamar Raynard is a multi-year starter, has an impressive frame (6' 4", 200 pounds), and threw for 2,932 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions last season.
