#5 Drew Lock, Missouri
Lock was a candidate to enter the 2018 NFL Draft but decided to go back to school for one more year with a strong QB class. Leading the country in passing touchdowns and having set the new SEC single-season record with 44, Lock is often labelled as a product of Missouri’s up-tempo offensive system that relies heavily on hitches, slants, go routes and smoke/screens, but he has some excellent qualities.
He shows the ability to process information, throws a beautiful ball and is praised for his accuracy. However, he gets himself into trouble at times when hesitating for that split-second and being late on the throw, with a floating ball coming out of his hands, which really costs him.
Honorable mentions: Justin Herbert (Oregon), Jarrett Stidham (Auburn), Ryan Finley (N.C. State)
