Mitch Trubisky (North Carolina)

Certainly the Flavor of the Month lately. Mitch Trubisky really came out of nowhere. He was an unknown when the 2016 season started but a series of high-profile victories has put him in the spotlight. Scouts love his skill set from the quick, precise passing accuracy to mobility and good decision-making. Trubisky doesn’t have lots of experience but he makes up for it by continuing to play well. He’ll be a top pick if he finishes the year like he started it.

Best Fit:  New York Jets

Chan Gailey is an experienced offensive coordinator who’s had a lot of success. Historically he’s often preferred quarterbacks who can get the ball out fast and on time. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Kordell Stewart are two such examples. Trubisky exhibits attributes those two share but would likely be the most complete quarterback Gailey has ever coached. Give him an offense loaded with veteran talents and it’s an ideal situation for a young quarterback.
