Daniel Jones' scouting report

Daniel Jones was a three-year starter coming out of Duke University, and he was a proven leader on the squad. Jones operated with a rarely seen elite level of mechanics from college.

Jones lacked next-level arm talent, but he compensated with his ability to make pro-level throws and attack deep with remarkable precision. The North Carolina native has always had a high football IQ and is deceptively mobile.

Scouts viewed Jones as more of a game manager than a game changer. However, if placed on the right offense, he'd certainly be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.

Here's a look at Jones' pros and cons coming into the NFL:

Pros:

• A smooth operator with the ability to keep searching for targets downfield
• Create more with less at the skill positions
• decent athlete with the scrambling ability to force the issue
• Impressive accuracy on intermediate throws
• Possessing consistent footwork from the pocket

Cons:

• Average release speed, which is further slowed by predictable windup
• Relatively thin in his lower body
• Shows too much bravado as a runner
