“If any team dares to draft Fernando Mendoza in the first three rounds, this guy is an absolute guaranteed bust.” — Daniel Kelly Former NFL Scout Fox Sports Radio Straight Fire With Jason McIntyre

Don’t look now but my 2021 NFL Draft QB1 Justin Fields finds himself in the best situation of his career. Pre-Draft Fields Evaluation: nfldraftdiamonds.com/2021/03…

People keep disrespecting Dillon Gabriel (59.5%) without even realizing he was more accurate than Caleb Williams (58.1%) and Shedeur Sanders (56.6%) last season.

I’ve written two scouting reports on Jordan Love— May 2021: nfldraftdiamonds.com/2021/05… November 2023: yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/…

Just think of it this way, at some point your mind makes decision to throw bc something is “open” if you are slower to deliver there is a better chance for D to recover… this would create a disadvantage over another player unless you could somehow make decisions faster than another guy, but that is putting a lot on you mentally! Of course, a slightly longer may not effect you that much & if you throw less “timing” routes it doesn’t matter as much, but I do believe it can make a big difference on certain routes or in certain situations (like tight RZ where windows condense)!

Caleb Williams had the lowest completion percentage in the 2025 regular season among returning 2026 NFL starting quarterbacks (58.1%).

As a former NFL Scout— Shedeur Sanders is not going to develop in the NFL. Why? He has a hesitation that’s ingrained in him. I wrote about it his pre-draft scouting report. The NFL is too fast for him. This is why Sanders had the slowest time to throw in the NFL last season (3.24 seconds Next Gen Stats). Just like how he struggled to get the ball out of his hand in college: PFF: 2024: 3.00 seconds (FBS) 2023: 2.89 seconds (FBS) 2022: 2.74 seconds (FCS) 2021: 2.92 seconds (FCS) This isn’t going away. He’s not going to suddenly be able to start getting the ball out of his hand fast enough. That’s not how he sees the game. That’s not how he processes the game. That’s not who he is. The only thing that’s happened to Sanders is he’s become progressively slower processing and slower getting the ball out of his hand when he’s been moved up to higher levels of competition.

In 2025, Spencer Rattler had a top-10 completion percentage (67.7%) and the 5th fastest time to throw in the NFL (Next Gen Stats 2.67 seconds). It’s just a matter of time… Photo Credit: Getty Images

“Motion by a wide receiver across the formation is NOT the same man/zone indicator that it was five, ten years ago…” “Running backs have become a MUCH better man/zone indicator and predictor.” @GregCosell explains why:

I don’t think people are ready to have this conversation, but Spencer Rattler had the biggest second-year completion percentage jump in the 2024 NFL Draft Class. *Rattler was my Pre 2024 NFL Draft QB1 Rattler 📈 2024: 57.0% 2025: 67.7% Drake Maye 📈 2024: 66.6% 2025: 72.0% Michael Penix Jr. 📈 2024: 58.1% 2025: 60.1.% Bo Nix 📉 2024: 66.3% 2025: 63.4% Caleb Williams 📉 2024: 62.5% 2025: 58.1% Jayden Daniels 📉 2024: 69.0.% 2025: 60.6% Joe Milton III 📉 2024: 75.9% 2025: 62.5% J.J.

This is classic. As a former NFL Scout, I’ve been focused on Caleb Williams low completion percentage since he’s been in the league. Now that’s his focus too. Video Credit @ChicagoBears

It would not surprise me to see Lamar Jackson on the Giants after they move on from Jaxson Dart. Especially, with John Harbaugh being there now.

Dramatic off-season slow-motion cherry-picked cinematic passes from Caleb Williams = 60.3% career completion percentage.

Bo Nix did some walkthrough work today, will participate in next week's minicamp. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

Raiders cornerback Jermod McCoy didn't "plummet" on my 2026 Pre-NFL Draft First-Round Value Board. I had him valued at No. 24 overall: firstroundmock.com/2026/04/f…

I give this Titans reporter a lot of credit for sharing his perspective on Cam Ward.

I maintained a first round grade on Germie Bernard for his last two seasons of game film: 2024 game film evaluation: firstroundmock.com/2025/11/a… 2025 game film evaluation: firstroundmock.com/2026/03/g…

I had a first round grade on Christian Darrisaw in this pre-draft scouting report: si.com/nfl/lions/onsi/news/l…

Bo Nix is still expected to practice next week, per Sean Payton. Bo did some walkthrough before practice today. An encouraging sign.

The football world was convinced Anthony Richardson was a first round talent. I tried telling anyone who would listen pre-draft that he was a 5th round game film value, that he was a high risk for injury and he was a bust —in this pre-draft evaluation: firstroundmock.com/2023/04/a…
