Draft experts say Eason needs to get dialed in

Emoterman

4. Jacob Eason, Washington
Stats in Week 7 at Arizona: 15-of-22 passing (68.2%) for 243 yards with two TDs; 77.7 QBR

McShay: Eason doesn't have a ton of recent game experience -- he started 13 games for Georgia in 2016, but he attempted only seven passes in 2017 before going down with an injury, then sat out 2018 after transferring -- but he has shown growth in seven starts this season. He has a huge 6-6, 227-pound frame, a live arm and good athleticism. And I've already seen improvement in his timing and anticipation from September to now.

Kiper: Are we really agreeing again here? Eason is my fourth-ranked quarterback, with a caveat: He really could use another year in college. He could be a top-five pick in the 2021 draft. Now, we see quarterbacks get drafted in Round 1 on potential all the time. Eason absolutely could go in the top 32 picks in April. But he's the most raw out of this group, and I'd really like to see him get more live reps for the Huskies.

McShay: Yeah, he certainly has the talent and can make some ridiculous throws, but the inexperience shows itself at times. Against a complex Stanford defense two weeks ago, he completed just 44.4% of his passes and averaged only 5.7 yards per attempt. Eason has a big opportunity to show he belongs in this discussion on Saturday against Herbert and the Ducks.

Kiper: Eason has the "wow" factor. He's super impressive at times but also maddeningly underwhelming in other situations. He really needs to improve his ball placement and work on going through full-field progressions. But you can't teach his arm strength -- I put this throw in my most recent Big Board rankings, but it's worth watching that rocket again.

If Eason had the benefit of John Ross XII they would be calling him the #1 pick in next spring's draft. Warranted or not.

Obviously @Pete is smarter than all of us. He purposely started shitty receivers so Eason would have to come back as a senior...

What insight!

To be honest, Eason and Black Beast need to return. Beast has been underwhelming average at best this year, and maybe not even the best tight end on the team.

Don’t like Kiper and McShay but found myself agreeing with them. We are fucked next year if we don’t have Eason. It will be ugly.

We? can't afford to wait for Sirmon to get his reads down.

Wonder if he portals again if Eason stays.

I doubt it.

I'm actually not convinced that Sirmon wont be somewhere between fine and Eason level. Eason has been a little underwhelming overall while showing elite physical ability. The offense, play calling, and supporting cast put a cap on how good or how bad he can be.

Sirmon has comparable ability and would probably have similar results.

Peterman’s offense is so good it can neuter even the best of nfl prospects

He’s doesn’t have comparable ability. He struggled making reads and being accurate in high school. It only gets tougher. I’ve never bought into Sirmon hype.

Eason is a little too mechanical and slow to process things at times. Sirmon will be even more so. That is, if he even wins the job.

But DDY said he is Sam Darnold

Eason is gone IMO. Someone will take a top 15 chance on him just because of his physical abilities. I dont care enough about the NFL to know the contract difference between top15 overall QB this year and top5 overall QB next year.

The NFL cares about physical underwear potential more than anything else. Which is why Eason will go regardless of what he actually does and why players like Ahmed or Dewayne Washington get more of a chance in the NFL than guys like Gaskin.

Bryant isnt going to get a 1st round grade, he is limited by his size and length at TE. He is a tweener. He is only 6'2" and he isnt going to run a 4.42 like he is Evan Engram. Also his hands havent been great this year and his route running is average at best, his cuts arent clean, release off the line is poor, and he drifts up field way too much.

RoadDawg55

Bryant is probably a 3rd or 4th round pick to me.

If Eason comes back we have a shot at being good. If he leaves, we will have a down year.

Comparable physical ability roadie. You knew that, but are such a contrarian sometimes that you glossed over it to make your point.

Petersen's offense is more about scheming guys open then checking down when it doesn't work. Live action reads are pretth limited as most of the decisions happen pre-snap. Sirmon has similar size and arm strength and has three years learning this fucktarded offense. He'll be fine.

Im not entirely sure what Petersens offense is about other than making a QB look more brain-locked and excessively spin backwards the longer they stay.

Just wait till he gets a short lefty in there with limited arm strength.

I don't think his ability is that comparable honestly. Sirmon has above average arm talent. Eason has elite elite arm talent. There's a pretty big gap.

That said I think Sirmon has a better shot to be good than Roadie does. He sucks until he doesn't though, as always.

From what I have been told, sirmon not very bright. So not sure he will be able to learn it

Eason is coming back next year. Sirmon will stay for 2020 but will portal prior to the 2021 season if it looks like Huard wins the job as a true frosh. Sirmon will still have 2 years of eligibility remaining at that point.
