Just finished watching that. Not really too impressive, I think he's closer to 6'1" than he is 6'3".. probably a high 4.5 low 4.6. Arm and mechanics look fine, but he's playing against trash competition. Almost all those throws were to wide open receivers. He does seem to have good touch on the deep ball.
With as much as yall have been talking about him, I expected to see something special. Justin Fields does what he does at a higher level against better competition.
You're absolutely right about Justin Fields tape is very impressive and should be drafted over Lance. He looks like he understands defenses and route combinations more than Lance at this stage, but he also has a lot more talent around him.
But what excites me about Lance is the deep ball accuracy and arch (similar to Russel Wilson) combined obviously with his athleticism. I like that he's comfortable behind center and good on play action.
I think of a guy like Josh Allen who many of us hated his tape myself included. But the physical traits were there. He just had to be molded in the NFL and now he's playing like an MVP because he was drafted in the right situation.
I had Mahomes higher than Watson but thought Watson wouldn't be that good. I'm not always right and QB scouting is not my strength.
I admit when I'm wrong and I might be this time.
