Some NFL Team Will Draft Levis in the Top 5
I’m posting this for the record.
Some NFL team will draft Will Levis within the top 5 picks.
That team may currently be in the top 5 already, or the team will trade up, but I’d be willing to bet that some team will take the gamble and draft him high.
NFL front offices are still basically conservative, old-school enterprises and when they look at Levis, they see the classic image of the great QB: white, blond, good-looking, rocket armed, chiseled. He literally looks like a guy a Hollywood producer would cast as the QB in a blockbuster production.
Additionally, he’s pretty good. Better, imho, than most give him credit for being. He’s had a checkered college career, but there are specific, certifiable reasons - not excuses, but reasons - why that inconsistency may have happened. Too many coaches, too many systems, too many injuries, too few good offensive linemen to protect him.
Of course, he’s put lots of bad tape in the vault, but it is impossible to deny - and ignore - the good stuff.
The combination of those factors is going to be too much for some NFL team to resist and some NFL team is going to close their eyes, take that blind swing and draft him way higher than most draft observers imagine.
The great thing about sports is that we all ultimately get to see who is right or wrong about their predictions. Can’t wait till draft night to see how this thing unfolds!
