Eason, Fromm Tumble
Early on in this year’s draft process, there was talk of Washington quarterback Jacob Eason as a potential top-15 pick. After transferring from Georgia, he put his impressive arm strength on display for the Huskies with a solid 2019 campaign.
Instead, he fell all the way to Day 3, finally finding a home with the Colts halfway through the fourth round. It’s a great fit for him, though, with a chance to sit and learn behind a future Hall of Famer in Philip Rivers for at least a year.
Georgia’s Jake Fromm didn’t have first-round illusions, but he was a potential Day 2 pick thanks to his intangibles and experience against top competition. He had to wait even longer to hear his name called, falling to the Buffalo Bills at pick No. 167 of the fifth round. He’ll battle for the backup job behind Josh Allen.
