1. Drew Lock, Missouri

Meet a future franchise quarterback.

Lock has all the tools necessary to be a top-10 selection in next year’s draft. He earned his placement as first-team All-SEC last season by throwing for 3,964 yards and 44 touchdowns and registered eight games of three touchdowns or more. He also led the FBS in touchdown passes and also broke an SEC record for touchdown passes in the process.

The accuracy woes are rightfully spotlighted when speaking on Lock as he is a career 54% completion percentage passer. To his credit, he has not had the best talent around him during his three seasons at Missouri.

Outside of that, there is not a lot to critique in his game. Many consider Lock as the top pro prospect at quarterback this season and can very well be the best quarterback in the best conference.
