Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. I'm starting a new series of rookie assessments
or outlooks to combine with my Patreon releases of pre
draft rankings into your form. So on Patreon you'll get
those rankings and on the free show over the next
four episodes going to be rookie quarterback, running back, wide receiver,
and tight end player comps. Cool concept where I'm just
giving you my film analysis, different takeaways and or findings that.
Speaker 2: I have discovered from my notes.
Speaker 1: And then for quarterbacks this week, it's looking at a
few different traits pocket presence with arm strength, mobility, and
then mechanics alum with footwork and giving you what I
think are necessarily not surefire comparisons, but at least stylistically
or I might call out some full or ceiling best
range possibilities. So we'll get right to it. The five
prospects and not picking by position this week. Quarterback are
somewhat random. It's more so just those that I thought
were the most enjoyable to watch a film. It's necessarily
translating to NFL success or anything like that. Roocky ADP
projected NFL draft stock. It's more just what I thought
my notes were for the comp's sake. Up First is
Fernando Mendoz out of Indiana, the Heisman Trophy winner six'
five two thirty. Six for the body, frame he is twenty.
Two he would turned twenty three In. October WHEN i
watched a, film when it comes to pocket presence and arm,
STRENGTH i see prime Vintage Kirk cousins With washington and Or,
minnesota Which Kirk cousins back then was a stable borderline
quarterback one, quarterback whereas now he has fallen off quite
a bit with Recently atlanta and currently unsigned after being
cut by The. Falcons when it comes To mendoza's, MOBILITY
i see shades Of Justin, herbert who even in today's
perception Of herbert as a, rusher is a bit underappreciated
in terms of his deception to rush the football or
tucket and run when a play breaks down in or
outside of the. Pocket AND i see the same out
Of mendoza time and time, again where he escapes, pressure
evades with his, legs and is able to use his
rushing tools in order to garner more yards complete a
first down things of that, nature and then when it
comes to mechanics and. Footwork it is a lofty, comparison
But mendoza is super, clean, crisp and decisive when it
comes to his throwing motion and his footwork inside of the,
POCKET i See Joe.
Speaker 2: Burrow of, course that is hard to live up.
Speaker 1: Too but then, Again Joe burrow was somewhat of a
one hit wonder with lsu his path THE. NFL a
lot could be said similarly For Phantom. Mendoza he was
A heisman winner and the assumed one POINT zho one
selection to The Las Vegas. Raiders so all of my
notes see the quarterback player comparisons Being Kirk cousins Meets
Justin herbert or even.
Speaker 2: Best range of.
Speaker 1: Outcome Joe burrow And mendoza functioned a lot out of
shotgun with RPOs With. Indiana with TODAY'S nfl, game that
should scheme well With Clint kubiak and The. Raiders he,
is AS i, mentioned accurate and. Decisive he's, agile, athletic
and even a bit. Underappreciated when it comes to that,
athleticism he excels as an intermediate route. PASSER i have
seen some flaws in his deep, game at least when
it comes to touch your placement on, Tape but that's
really any quarterback until you make that jump from college
of the. Pros in terms of his standout college, Stats
mendoza a sixty eight point six completion percentage, rate seventy
one touchdowns to a mere twenty two, interceptions and eleven rushing.
Touchdowns mendoza is going to be a immediate fantasy, starter
whether it's one quarterback or super flyg and he really
did help elevate the Entire indiana Offense Omark Cooper, Junior
Elijah surat Or serrat depending on the official pronunciation. There Nonetheless,
mendoza it's pretty clear at this point of the evaluation
process that he is going to be a top toier.
Speaker 2: Prospect how About Drew aller out Of Penn.
Speaker 1: State he checked in at six five to twenty, eight
so right around the same body frame As Fernando. Mendoza
aler's pocket presence and arm strength remind me of Bo,
nix WHO i had some doubts of coming out Of
oregon or even previous time in School. Auburn yet Bo
nix has cemented himself as a top ten to twelve
fantasy quarterback with The. Broncos the mobility Of Drew aller
reminds me Of Brock, purdy where he's not a run first,
quarterback but there is hidden potential and athleticism that he
can sneak out of the pocket and extend plays with his.
Legs aler is not as mobile or gifted as a
rusher Like. Mendoza mendoza has a physicality to him as
well THAT i don't think That aler has equipped in
his skill, sets but it is a bit to perceptive
right like Brock, herdi which is Why i'm comparing that
mobility To. Aler's and then the mechanics of footwork is
WHERE i am a bit more concerned About. Aler he's,
inconsistent SO i am throwing out names LIKE jj McCarthy
Meets Zach, wilson both of which at Least wilson have been,
busts and McCarthy is on the bust path as a. Pro,
now some other NOTES i have On aler are he
makes quick, progressions smooth throwing, Motion he stands toll in the,
pocket extends plays with his, legs and is able to
throw on the, run which you do like to see
that for any college quarterback, prospect throwing on the run
to your left or your, right and he has a
very strong, arm perhaps the strongest quarterback arm in the
twenty twenty six, class but can struggle with accuracy and.
Consistency in, Fact Aler's Penn state numbers career sixty three
point two percent completion, rate sixty one, touchdowns thirteen, interceptions
twelve us in, touchdowns and then that devastating season ending
broken left ankle injury that derailed his collar season In
october of twenty twenty. Five Now Drew aller is gaining some,
buzz some hype over the past few. WEEKS i don't
think he's going to be a first round, pick but
we certainly could see him called early to midday two
rounds two to. THREE i GUESS i am not sold
he's an immediate. Starter this seems like a slow burn
where he learns behind a proven veteran and, again the
ceiling might be A bonix or a rock, party but,
realistically in terms of development and what he needs to
accomplish as a, project IT'S jj McCarthy Or Zach wilson
without the same level of hype or first round suggesting
draft Capital Garrett nussmeyer AT lsu six' two two, oh
three so much smaller in terms of height and Weight
than Mendoza. Or Aller nuss meyer turned twenty four This,
past february so a bit older as well as.
Speaker 2: A prospect his.
Speaker 1: Pocket presence at arms strength remind Me Of, drew locke
who is a backup IN. The nfl he's not, fantasy
relevant but there was a time With both Benver and
Seattle where locke was thought of to be a possible
starter or fantasy asset out Of His missouri. Cow, Film
unfortunately locke is now more of a, perennial backup which
could be the same arc For.
Speaker 2: Nus meyer IN the nfl.
Speaker 1: Mobility and mechanics Footwork For, GARRETT usmeyer i see the.
Same Player It's. Matt Jones garrett nusmeyer is a pocket passer.
By trade he has. Quick releases he's able to throw
from multiple arm angles, and slots which you see often
from quarterbacks that are, gifted PASSERS and i do think
That nus meyer's overall passing traits. Are consistent, he is
albeit somewhat of a weak. Downfield arm what you need
out of a game manager or. Signal caller my concern
is the floor is safe For, nus mayer but the
ceiling could be relatively lower capped because you're not getting
the rushing equity your stats Like a Mendoza, or aller
Whereas us meyer is exclusively going to be throwing the
ball out of the pocket and therefore a bit scheme
based FOR. The nfl his STATS with lsu a sixty
four completion, percentage rate fifty two touchdowns to twenty, four
interceptions and only five. RUSHING touchdowns i am fast need
to SEE what nfl teams think Of. Nuss MEYER the
mvp Of The senior bowl has had a rollercoaster of
a college career where he at peak would have been
a first round PICK. At lsu decide you back to
school to run it, back that in, my, opinion backfire
and he's now more so on the day two if
not early day. THREE map i think ultimately Though mess
meyer Is a day, two pick but sort Of Like,
drew aller not Expecting nuss meyer to be a starter
out of. The gate this is more of a backup
path or in a best, case scenario load a midend
starter time for a. Short break i'll be back with
two more rookie quarterback. Player COMPS before i get, to

Speaker 2: Short break.
Speaker 1: The next ROOKIE quarterback i will discuss for a player
Comp Is cole payton Out Of North, dakota state who
is a big reason behind The Recent bryce lance hype
wide receiver prospect at the. Same school peyton checked in at,
six three two thirty two at. The combine he is,
twenty three we'll turn twenty Four. In october his pocket
presence at arm strength remind me of Throwback Comp. Mark
renel that's Tough Because cole payton is. A lefty i
don't have many examples to provide you in terms of
left comparisons unless we're going with readency Bias of Tua Or.
Speaker 2: Michael pennix but that's a bit.
Speaker 1: Too Easy so i'm trying to throw it back a,
bit more or even give the TRAITS that i See
of peyton on tape and say a righty version of
this would HAVE.
Speaker 2: Been x you'll See what i'm.
Speaker 1: Talking about, so mobility this is a very, high COMPARISON
and i don't want it to, be overstated but you'll
SEE what i mean if you're Familiar with peyton's tape
and or just fire some film Up poor man's or
Low End. Josh allen and it's Because of peyton's body
frame at sixtet through thirty two and his elongated rushing strides.
In motion he's not afraid, initiate contact And Like, josh
allen puts his body on the line as a big.
Physical quarterback and then when it comes to mechanics, and
Footwork col payton's mechanics are long winded in terms of
his arm slot. And position his legs look unorthodox at
times where his feet are pointed in. Different directions it's,
not smooth but He got it's a, job done and
the stats back. It up that reminds me of a
left handed Version Of, dak prescott who when You Watch,
dak prescott he puts, up numbers but his mechanics and
the way his legs sort of flail when they're running
or moving in the pocket aren't necessarily prototype of a quarterback,
for SUCCESS and i see the Same For. Cole, payton now,
of course the issue here Is that peyton did not
deal with d one level, of competition and it's hard
to translate him from college to.
Speaker 2: THE pros i.
Speaker 1: Will, say though that, he's, athletic mobile very strong arm
routinely extends plays with his legs as a legitimate, rushing
threat and that cannot. Be understated he is going to
change an offense if he ever becomes a starter because
of his legs and that physical. Rushing ability and then
he surveys a field really well with sound decision making
for college, stat purposes a seventy point three completion, percentage
rate twenty one touchdowns to, six interceptions and then thirty one. Rushing,
touchdowns again the rushing production speaks, for itself and if
you watch any film Of col payton you'll also SEE what.
I mean and that's why a wide range. Of outcomes
the low end is Definitely how Tua and penix seem
to be more busts than.
Speaker 2: Success stories but the high end could be some sort.
Speaker 1: Of Mold mark brunel as a lefty meets the rushing
Upside Of josh allen and the mechanics and Footwork Of.
Dek prescott what's TOUGH is i Don't Know. Akota state
the draft Out Over cole payton is entirely up in.
The air we know he's not going to be a
first round pick for the, most part can he land on?
Day two if, he does then. There's hope if he's
a day, three pick then we're talking about a dart
throw in superflex that could be more of a backup
than ever real impact. Fantasy starter, and last but, now
Least diego pavia five ten two, Oh seven so the
height is a legitimate concern jumping to the. Professional level
he turned twenty four This. Past february pavia is fun.
TO watch i get the ego or character concerns that
he is very overconfident and won't pan out IN. The
nfl let's LET the nfl decide that in terms of,
draft capital and then can he be an underdog story,
Of sorts we'll see the pocket presence at, ARMS strength
I Have Kyler, murray kyler also a shorter quarterback Mobility,
FOR pavi I See bryce young and then the mechanics.
At footwork in the, ultimate comparison best range of out
come to Me Is baker Mayfield because pavia, is undersized
but he brings such a tough mentality Av A baker
mayfield and playing style to the field as a gunslinger
who is not afraid to push the ball middle to
downfield or be physical as. A rusher despite the, five
ten two oh, Seven frame pavia's tape Out of vanderbilt
is chalk full of exceptional passing and.
Speaker 2: Rushing plays the.
Speaker 1: Issue is is his game transferable from the college to pro,
level competition and that is quite. An unknown most big
time scouts are Saying that pavi is going to be a,
career BACKUP and i, don't DISAGREE but i do want
to see where he lands and if a team's going
to take a gamble on, day two sort of like
the Same Logic. Colet Payton if pavias slides to, day
three then we're talking a, dart throat not. Much upside
we'll see what happens in. Super fux but if he
does land on, day two then there's a bit more
are intrigued there than perhaps meets. The eye his college
stats career wise sexty two point two compleat, percentage rate eighty,
eight touchdowns twenty, seven picks and thirty one. Rushing touchdowns, So,
again pavia due to being a, bit smaller the best
case would he gets a Shot like Kyler Or bryce young,
and flourishes and then his overall game does remind me
a Bit Of baker mayfield with the tenacity. And physicality
but the low end Is that pavia does not get
a start ever IN, the nfl and he's a career
backup or a. Gadget player thanks for. Listening up you'll
Enjoyed MY Rookie Qb player. Comps episode i'll be back
next week with running back. Player comps until, next time
this is the dynas you're. Joking out enjoy the Week
and i'll talk to. You soon see you
