4. Jacob Eason, Washington 6-6, 227 (2)
Why He’s Here On The List: It never quite worked exactly like it was supposed to. The star recruit of star recruits, he’s got the pro look, size, and arm to be everything an NFL team is looking for. There’s a chance he becomes a great-value option late in the first round or early in the second compared to the other top passers.
What The NFL Types Want To See: It’s going to be impossible to show off in workouts what the scouts will have problems with on tape. Be stunned if Eason isn’t a superstar in every throwing drill, and he’ll be fine with the coaches in the interview room. He has to show off a ridiculous pro passing skill set that makes him a must-have to build around.
Bottom Line: He’ll be an NFL starter, but something was missing in college. Accuracy was an issue at times, and he was too easily replaced by Jake Fromm at Georgia. There aren’t a whole lot of humans – including in this draft – with his passing skill and talent. Someone will fall in love with his upside.
