    Will he even be drafted? I haven't been following the draft idiots and their mocks.

    I follow a site that's already got their mock draft 2-3 rounds deep and I haven't seen Halliday in there yet.
    The draft prospect site I've seen goes 12 QB's deep and Halliday isn't on it either. Devin Gardner brought up the rear as the 12th rated QB so the fact that Halliday can't even beat him out is lol.

    It makes sense though. Halliday's YPA is just OK at 8.3, which according to ESPN is 34th in the nation. For comparison sake, I believe Justin Wilcox hovered around the 34th best defense while at UW. If you want to see what an impressive QB does, Mariota's 11.0 YPA is ridiculously good. I thought Hundley has always been overrated, but his 10.5 YPA is also really, really good.

    Mariota and Hundley are both considered top QB prospects. No one cares about Halliday's passing stats because he won't be throwing the ball 70+ times in NFL games.
