WEAKNESSES Robotic decision-making. Decision on where to go with ball seems predetermined despite coverages. Needs to get better at manipulating safeties with his eyes. Inconsistent velocity to sideline causes nose of ball to dip. Drive throws sometime sail. Has slow setup in pocket with excessive pre-release steps. Cornerbacks contest too many throws due to lack of anticipation. Timing passes must come out sooner. Plagued by accuracy issues and decision-making outside the numbers on both intermediate and deep throws. Five of his 12 interceptions in 2016 were along deep sidelines due to under-throws and failure to read safety help. Touch and placement are an issue when forced to leave the pocket. Not a factor as a scrambler.
Eli under contract for 3. With roster bonuses due on the 3rd day of each league year for the final 2 years, he is "cuttable". In which case, I hope Eli makes a business decision and pushes for those bonuses up front this season when he can't be cut. Yes, I am advocating him holding out.
“If I were a team like Cleveland, I would take impact players at (pick Nos.) 1 and 12 and then trade back into the bottom of the first round for Davis Webb,” an NFL executive told NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah. “I think he will end up being the best quarterback of this draft class.”
I hated the Nassib pick too, but I guess comparing that time and pick against now and this pick is apples/oranges.
Third round pick on a guy who may never be a starter, at a position where next year's draft looks stacked, when there's a lot of talent still on the board.
I think it's fair to question the value of this pick. We shall see!
This is a great situation for him to come into.
At least preseason will be interesting again when the second stringers play!!!!

Yes
Not a fan of wasting a 3rd. But, then again, Reese sucks in the 3rd.
It's the third round.
There's nothing to lose here.
Because he's an entirely different player, on a different coaching staff.
If the Giants thought it was the way to go, I'm with it......

Someone tell me why this isn't going to be a wasted pick like Nassib all over again.

They also thought Nassib was the way to go and moved up for him.
my 2nd rated QB.
Most likely it's two more and out.
neither did brett favre when GB took a Cal QB

People keep thinking that Eli is going to play at a high level for the next three years... One can hope..
this one....who knows. Is Webb our future?
My mind went to Dave Brown Era....when I saw his face.....I hope that is not the case
