Jacob Eason | QB | Washington
Rivers isn’t the long-term answer at quarterback for the Colts, so Indianapolis could be looking for the predecessor here on Day 2. Eason could be a guy the Colts get at either pick 34 or 44 in the second round. There were already four quarterbacks taken in the first round—Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and Jordan Love—so there aren’t any teams pressing for quarterbacks now on Day 2.
His elite size and arm talent are reminiscent of Carson Palmer, but issues with pocket poise and getting through progressions cleanly are more reminiscent of Brock Osweiler. Eason is fun to watch when he’s ripping throws around the field and taking deep play-action shots, but a lack of mobility inside and outside the pocket is troubling, considering his ineffectiveness when pressured.
