Kyle Lauletta- Richmond
Strengths: Lauletta is a QB from a small school, but when you turn on the film, there is definitely a lot to like. Lauletta is an accurate QB with good mechanics. He also has solid mobility and good pocket presence, as he can move around in the pocket. He also does a nice job of throwing on the run and showed toughness within the pocket. Overall, he is an underrated guy who can eventually develop into a starter.
Weakness: Lauletta doesn’t have a noodle arm, but his arm is pretty average. He is a guy from a one read system so he never really had to go through his progressions. His field vision will definitely have to improve. He also makes questionable decisions, has trouble with turnovers, overthrows his receivers from time to time, and even has trouble with the snap. He is also a smaller QB which makes me wonder if he will hold up at the next level.

Round 3
Mason Rudolph- Oklahoma State
Strengths: Rudolph is a guy coming from a Mike Gundy offense, so he put up some huge numbers. But Rudolph has a descent amount of traits that makes him intriguing. He has really good size for the position to go with pretty good accuracy. He is a guy who has really good mechanics, he takes care of the football, and his stats speak for themselves. He is a very accomplished QB.
Weakness: While Rudolph is a big dude, he kinda has a noodle arm. Also, he comes from a system which makes QB’s look better then they actually are by allowing them to complete easy passes. In this system, the QBs are required to make one read, so his field vision needs improvement. He is also kind of a mess in the pocket. I think he is a backup at the end of the day.

Late round 3
Luke Falk- Washington State
Strengths: With Luke Falk, you are going to get a guy who is smart, tough, and experienced. At Washington State, the guy took a beating behind a horrible offensive line, but he always stood strong in the pocket. He also is an accurate QB, specifically in the short and intermediate areas. He is one of the smartest QB’s in the draft as well, as he can diagnose zone defenses. But let me just say, Im not a fan.
Weakness: The guy has a noodle arm. His arm strength is hilariously bad. I highly doubt he has the arm to make all the NFL throws. He is not an athletic guy, his mobility is non-existent. What makes matters worse is his pocket presence is horrible. The guy can’t move and he isn’t savvy enough to move within the pocket, because you don’t have to be the most athletic guy to have good pocket awareness, but he just doesn’t have it , and that is really concerning. He has a weird throwing motion as well, and his footwork is sloppy and inconsistent. He just isn’t good at all. No. Thanks.
