Drew Lock post pro day interview

GFAN52 : 3/22/2019 10:21 am
What he brings to the NFL team selecting him.

Sounds like a good kid  
ZogZerg : 3/22/2019 10:30 am : link
Some nice throws.
Seems like an exact  
ryanmkeane : 3/22/2019 10:32 am : link
mix between Cutler and Stafford.
Better than Jones  
Big Blue Hokie : 3/22/2019 10:33 am : link
Still would prefer Lock over Jones.....
Oh no he was winded and sweating. Seriously though seems  
Blue21 : 3/22/2019 10:34 am : link
like a good kid. He's going somewhere first round.

arcarsenal : 3/22/2019 10:36 am : link
Looks gassed. Conditioning red flag?

He pulled his shirt up a few times to wipe the sweat from his brow too, and his belly looked a little doughy - you'd think he'd have done something about that before the biggest day of his life to date.
I’ll be the first to say I might be nitpicking  
Saos1n : 3/22/2019 10:39 am : link
But I didn’t like one thing he said.

When asked how he felt he performed, he said he’s going to be the same guy, regardless if it’s a game, a practice or this (pro day)

Moments later he said that 3 of the guys he hadn’t worked with much, other than a ‘rinky dink throwing session’

So, which is it? Same guy during practice, or a rinky dink throwing session? Or no?
If we can get a top defender at #6, and Lock at #17.  
GiantAce : 3/22/2019 10:43 am : link
I'd be absolutely thrilled.
He has a really good arm  
PatersonPlank : 3/22/2019 10:44 am : link
Also not sure if people comparing him to Stafford are meaning it as a slight. Stafford was highly rated out of college and has had a good pro career. We could surely do a lot worse with out next QB pick.

I think this is some grade A nit picking here. Sam Darnold said "im just going to be myself no matter what" about 15 times during his interviews. Nobody questioned that...
I'm certainly no QB expert...  
Eli Wilson : 3/22/2019 10:53 am : link
but, I don't think his throwing motion is as "natural" as Haskins. Looks like he is thinking too much or something.

Lock at 17 would be great....he prob won't be there though

It isn't - Lock pats the ball before he throws it most of the time - it adds a tiny hitch/extra split second to his motion.

You'll notice Haskins really doesn't do this.

Lock's arm is more live than Haskins' but Haskins is a more natural passer and is more accurate. Especially short/mid.

He looked smooth passing out of the pocket.
I prefer Lock over Haskins due to mobility  
George from PA : 3/22/2019 11:20 am : link
I am no expert.

Also prefer a defensive stud at 6/17.

But, I will defer to the Giants

arcarsenal : 3/22/2019 11:20 am : link
Lock has an outstanding arm - don't get me wrong.

I said this in another thread, but if you want to dream big... i.e.. Patrick Mahomes, Lock is probably the guy to take that swing on.

The inconsistency is a concern - and you aren't going to see that when you watch highlight reels.

The thing with Lock is that if you watch the good stuff, you'll see tons of absolutely gorgeous throws - he has a rocket. I love the arm talent he has.

But, he does lack short game touch/accuracy - this is an area where I think Barkley would benefit much more by playing with Haskins since Haskins is so good near the LOS and within 10 yards.

Lock has a "wow" factor when you watch him throw the football - but Josh Allen did also. You need it to be consistent. Otherwise, he'll frustrate the shit out of you.

I do like Lock quite a bit more than Allen as a QB prospect.

BPA defense @ 6 and Lock @ 17 is a first round I could be on board with. I like Haskins and Murray more - but I don't think we'll have a shot at Murray - much like we didn't have a shot at Mayfield. So, that's more than likely moot.

Stanford is one of my favorite quarterbacks in this league. Be thrilled if Giants got someone like him

I'm not sure what you are watching. Lock's throwing motion is a lot more economical and textbook than Haskins's longer wind-up. Haskins looks like he is throwing a javelin compared to Lock.
Seems like a good kid......  
Simms11 : 3/22/2019 11:52 am : link
Has nice arm.....he can rifle throws in there. It’ll be interesting to see where he gets drafted. I’d be ok if it were the Giants. I don’t think he’ll be there at 17 however.
Lock over Jones  
Philu916 : 3/22/2019 12:15 pm : link
Easily! If Raiders take DL or OL, would be okay if Miami trades up with Giants and Giants take Lock at 12 if Miami wants Haskins. Would hope Gettelman gets fired if Jones is even the pick at 17.

I thought Lock's throwing motion was textbook. Very compact and easy.

Haskins looks like he's trying to throw hard. Which is fine. Lock just naturally throws hard...

As effortless as Rosen's.

Bringing this back, huh? You all ended up sounding real bright with Beckham.
Nice link.  
BlueLou'sBack : 3/22/2019 3:22 pm : link
I think this draft is beautifully set up for the Giants to land Eli's successor at pick 6, no move up required.

They appear they love Haskins, and I'd feel really good about him at 6. But if Haskins is gone by 6, I feel pretty much the same way about Lock.

Both of them have the goods to be top 10 QBs in the NFL and to lead a team to a Lombardy IMO.
And if they can land Rosen for their 2nd rounder at 37  
BlueLou'sBack : 3/22/2019 3:24 pm : link
he'd be a great option too.
If the Giants like him, they have the ability to pick someone at six  
Heisenberg : 3/22/2019 3:24 pm : link
and then get him somewhere else. If they need to move up from 17, they can do that.

You would risk Denver taking him at 10? You think you can pass at 6 and jump back in at 8 or 9?

Good luck with that. If they like him, they pull the trigger at 6. Anything else depends on luck to get Lock.

You get Hernandez with luck, not your next franchise QB IMO.

It's not too hard to imagine Osi type DE's getting some strip sacks off of Haskins. But he processes the field quickly and has really good vision as a counter to that.

Denver just got Flacco. I don't think they want Lock. And if they do, maybe we dodge a bullet. Elway's track record with QBs is horrible.

I'm a Haskins guy but if the Giants prefer Lock, to me the risk is Miami, not Denver. They have the juice to move ahead of them I think, if they really want to.

You can try it when you're finally right about something.

Spending 5 years acting like an obsessive lunatic just to eventually arrive at a point where you can say "I was right!" to a bunch of strangers on a message board sounds like a fairly large waste of time to me.

I can't imagine it was worth it. I'd much rather have been wrong about the outcome of a football player than have let him consume me the way you let Beckham consume you all these years.

He made you miserable. You let a football player do that to you.

We're not the losers here.

That's a good point, actually. It could be a flaw in his mechanics that gets exploited.
