Luke Falk (Washington State)

Quarterbacks in spread offenses catch a bad rep these days. They don’t play in more complicated schemes, therefore a stigma is attached to them that they are instant projects. Time has proven this isn’t always the case. Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota are doing just fine. Luke Falk has the attributes necessary to make that jump as well. He’s tall, sees the field well, gets the ball out quickly and shows good placement and accuracy on his throws. Not overly mobile but poised in the pocket.

Best Fit:  Chicago Bears

This is heavily dependent on if Dowell Loggains remains the offensive coordinator in Chicago. Time has proven he’s a coach who prefers to run the offense through the passing game. He needs a quarterback who can deliver accurate, high-percentage passes and makes few mistakes. Brian Hoyer provided a blueprint. Falk has lived in the pass-happy offense at Washington State. He’s no stranger to this style and is more talented than Hoyer is.
