Who would you draft?

Anyone watched/have any thoughts on Anthony Gordon? I'd dismissed him as an air raid system QB, but his performance at the Senior Bowl was surprising in a very positive way. Looking at a few of his games, his ability to extend plays and get out of the pocket was reminiscent of Russell Wilson and his ball placement, accuracy, and arm strength were all reminiscent of collegiate Drew Brees (remember that Brees did not have the arm strength to make certain NFL throws in the first few years of his NFL career). I'm not saying that he'll be as good as those QBs, but I like the intangibles, and I think an NFL team willing to get him in an intensive strength and conditioning program and invest in a lot of film study and coaching, they could get a quality starting QB out of him. To me, the intangibles and many of the physical tools are already there, and taking him in Round 5, for example, would be a better option to me than taking Jalen Hurts or Jake Fromm in Round 3.

Jim Miller raves about his arm talent on XM. Very Mahomes like, without the arm strength.

Colts seem interested in him too.

I think if he lands with the right team and has the opportunity to sit and learn for a year or two, he could be a 10 year starter on a perennial playoff team.
