Pick Analysis. QB. 13. player. 35. Scouting Report. Tennessee Titans. Ryan Tannehill

2020 stats: 2,128 yards | 64.8 completion % | 20 TDs | 3 INTs | 7.6 YPA | 74.9 QBR

Last Week: 11

Tannehill has been good this season, but both he and the Titans have struggled lately. The offense bogged down against Cincinnati a few weeks back and again facing Indianapolis, going 15-of-27 for 147 yards and a touchdown. Two deep attempts (20+ yards) isn’t enough.

Scouting Report. Pittsburgh Steelers. 12. player. 55. Pick Analysis. QB. Ben Roethlisberger

2020 stats: 2,267 yards | 66.8 completion % | 22 TDs | 4 INTs | 6.8 YPA | 65.1 QBR

Last Week: 18

Roethlisberger attempted nine deep balls on Sunday and hit only completed one. However, he consistently peppered the middle ground, hitting on eight throws between 10-20 yards including a pair of touchdowns. This was the best Roethlisberger played all year.

Scouting Report. Los Angeles Rams. Jared Goff. 11. player. Pick Analysis. QB. 51

2020 stats: 2,447 yards | 66.4 completion % | 13 TDs | 6 INTs | 7.6 YPA | 58.7 QBR

Last Week: 14

Goff was in total command against Seattle’s rancid defense, going 27-of-37 for 302 yards without a turnover. The Rams handled Russell Wilson and Co. to pull into a three-way tie with the Seahawks and Cardinals. Now, another test against Tom Brady and the Bucs.

Pick Analysis. QB. Scouting Report. Kyler Murray. 10. player. 32. Arizona Cardinals

2020 stats: 2,375 yards | 68.2 completion % | 17 TDs | 8 INTs | 7.6 YPA | 77.2 QBR

Last Week: 13

Murray had three completions and an interception of 10+ air yards, and the Cardinals were about to fall against Buffalo. Then, a lightning bolt to DeAndre Hopkins with two seconds left, giving up the Hail Murray. One of the all-time throws, and all-time endings.

QB. Justin Herbert. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Los Angeles Chargers. 9. 13

2020 stats: 2,333 yards | 66.8 completion % | 19 TDs | 6 INTs | 7.8 YPA | 69.1 QBR

Last Week: 10

Herbert struggled — relatively speaking — against the Dolphins. The rookie faced consistent pressure against Miami’s blitz-heavy scheme, and was limited to 187 yards with an interception. Herbert is typically the only reason Los Angeles is in games, but he couldn’t make it competitive in Miami.

Las Vegas Raiders. 8. player. QB. Derek Carr. 28. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

2020 stats: 2,156 yards | 69.3 completion % | 16 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.6 YPA | 75.5 QBR

Last Week: 9

To look at the stat line, Carr wasn’t impressive against Denver. He threw for 154 yards and no touchdowns. Yet, watching the game, Carr was let down by a trio of big drops which could have added a score and potentially 75 yards or so. Carr isn’t elite, but he’s become an above-average starter who doesn’t make mistakes.
