Kellen Mond-QB-Texas A&M

Have you seen this game? It's from two years ago. It was a crazy ass game, and I remember watching it live thinking the A&M QB was pretty good. I totally forgot it was Kellen Mond going toe to toe with Joe Burrow in OT until I revisited it a few weeks ago. Mond threw a couple of lasers in this game.

Thanks Hero, I heard about it in this year's LSU game, I didn't catch it, don't normally go back that far but might be fun.

You're not going to find a better QB evaluation on the web than this. This is high-level analysis. It sounds like Tim Jenkins' top-5 is going to look like Simms based on what he says here. He thinks Mond is a special thrower.

He'll take some work but with the right QB coach, I think he has far better upside than the vast majority of mid round QB's in any given year.

Yeah but how do you think he would perform if he actually had talent around him like some of these other QBs? Sometimes, it is tough to evaluate QBs on elite teams because of the NFL caliber players they are playing with.

The interesting thing about Mond's evaluation is that — unlike pretty much everyone else on this list — he didn't play with anything resembling NFL-caliber weapons. In fact, in his three years as a starter, Mond hasn't competed with a wide receiver who was drafted. And his top option this past year, Jhamon Ausbon, is a fringe draftable prospect. His highest coveted weapon at the next level was tight end Jace Sternberger, who went in the third round in 2019. That's not going to get it done against SEC secondaries.

Well, Mond and Trask are probably who we'll be picking from. Ugh. Could have lost our way to a franchise QB.

Mond doing stuff like this is why many think he become a good NFL starting QB eventually.

History not on his side.

What a beautiful throw!

I can see why Simms has him in his top 5

Mond played a bit as a starter with Kirk, no?

If we decide to not go QB in the first, then this is who we should be drafting in the 3rd round.

He loves his laser throws outside the numbers. That in Shanny's playbook?

Rated #4 QB by Chris Simms

Yo Kell! Your pro day is tomorrow too. Which 49er is going to go watch you throw?
