NFL Mock Draft 2017: Another QB on top?

42. <p>You could reasonably tell me that Brad Kaaya ranks ahead of Deshaun Watson. I promise I would not argue with you, and that is a glowing statement about Kaaya given the way that I feel about Watson and his overall NFL prospects.</p> <p>The talented Miami quarterback is flying under the radar according to some, and that directly stems from a tumultuous college career with the Hurricanes. However, let me be the first to tell you that his anonymity has a lot more to do with the overall mess at Miami than it does with Kaaya’s actual profile as a quarterback.</p> <p>He has more prototypical size (6-foot-4 and more than 200 pounds) than Watson does, and Kaaya is also quite mobile despite being more of a straight pocket passer. He has been highly productive in college, including more than 3,000 yards through the air as a sophomore, and Kaaya will have the benefit of working with Mark Richt to further his development in 2016.</p> <p>Much like Watson, it is not a done deal that Kaaya will even declare for the 2017 NFL Draft, but I am extremely high on his abilities, and with Richt there to mentor him as a junior, the sky is the limit for Brad Kaaya.</p>.
