Jake Fromm, Georgia

The biggest thing that I notice about Fromm is that I’m not amazed by any part of his game. He stands in the pocket against pressure, makes good reads, and delivers the ball on time where it needs to be. His arm strength is nothing impressive though, and much of his production comes short of the first-down markers.

For Fromm to take the next step to be a top prospect, he will need to show scouts his ability to deliver the ball to the boundary, and his delivery downfield. NFL offenses are relying more and more on stretching defenses vertically, and Fromm has yet to demonstrate that continuously this season.

Fromm’s decision making has been respectable, but much of it is built into his offense and should not come as a major surprise. With other, more exciting prospects such as Herbert and Hurts jump up draft boards because they have the high ceiling to compete at the NFL level.

Fromm is a safe bet for a franchise looking to expend a late first-rounder on a quarterback who still needs to improve his arm talent (specifically his ball velocity for making throws into tight windows and to the boundaries) but has all of the mental and physical tools to perform in the NFL.

Team fit: Tennessee Titans

Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans can not avoid the obvious fact that Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill are not sustainable options. Tennesse needs to draft for the future now.

Given a year of development, Fromm can become a serviceable pocket passer with quality decision-making and accuracy. Given time to develop his downfield passing game, Corey Davis will be a very happy receiver with Fromm under center.
