5. Cardale Jones

He lead the Buckeyes to an unexpected national title, but had a down year last season. Many wanted Jones to come out last year when he could have been at the very least a third round pick if not higher due to the hype that was surrounding him.

There is no questioning Jones’ physical tools with his well-built frame, top-shelf arm strength and the mobility to move the pocket or pick up chunk yardage with his legs when needed.  However, he fails to read defenses and locks onto targets which also means he lacks anticipation and timing.

He has a huge arm and has the physical tools, if he can work on the fundamentals, there is potential that he could turn into a viable starting quarterback for a NFL franchise.
