Brock Osweiler Scouting Report |
Brock Osweiler - Arizona State (HT: 6-6⅞ - WT: 242) |
Positives -- Massive size, is by far the largest quarterback of this class and draws comparisons to guys like Derek Anderson and Ryan Mallet for his size and arm strength... Huge arm, can make every throw at the next level, gets terrific zip on his intermediate throws... Can fit the ball into tight windows and
really sling the ball down the field... Put up big numbers during his only season as a starter, threw for over 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns... Good footwork, moves well in the pocket and sets his feet before throwing... Will step into pressure, rarely throws off balance... Surprising athlete for his size, can scramble outside of the pocket, had previously committed to Gonzaga to play basketball... Osweiler's combination of size and mobility is rare and should intrigue NFL teams, needs to be coached up but could develop and be an effective NFL quarterback if given time.
Negatives -- Tries to throw the ball as hard as he can for some throws that should be simple touch passes... Doesn't do a good job of throwing his receiver open, has some serious ball placement issues where he doesn't give his receiver a chance to even make a play... Struggles with his accuracy down the field, regularly over throws his receivers... Misses some of the easiest throws and then will complete one of the toughest... Ended 2011 by throwing five interceptions in his final three games... Will force throws into traffic, looks like he could be prone to interceptions in the NFL... Quarterbacks with his height have not performed well historically at the NFL level... Despite his tall stature, he releases the ball low and he has a ton of balls batted down at the line of scrimmage... Only has one season under his belt as a starter, so he's fairly inexperienced for a guy coming into the NFL... Played primarily out of the shotgun and will have to adjust to playing under center... Would have benefited by returning for his senior year, raw and still and unfinished product... Has all the physical tools but lacks refinement... Arizona State's offense is tailor made to help out quarterbacks, predicated on short passes which has helped pad his statistics... High bust potential.
