    1 inch is not going to correct his accuracy issues.

    Except he doesn’t have accuracy issues, that’s a made up issue by you.

    Ignoring the numerous scouting reports and YouTube analysis videos along with the data that suggest Levis needs to improve his accuracy is disingenuous on your part and proves that you’re not interested in discussing prospects in good faith. This is what it says on his nfl.com draft profile.

    “Levis has the arm to beat coverages on all three levels, but inadequate placement and accuracy have created a lot of uncatchable throws.”

    It’s ok to disagree with people, but outright misrepresenting information that is easily and readily available is not.

    Again, there is room for improvement but his advanced stats don’t agree with that sentiment. Not to mention he didn’t have the talent around him that Stroud had, or even Young for that matter.
    He isn’t inaccurate like Richardson, this year there were some bad throws for sure. But there were also numerous throws that only a handful of people on earth can make.
    No one is being disingenuous besides you and Scarface. Levis is an elite talent whether you want to admit it or not.

    The highest upside in this draft is between him and Richardson. That isn’t debatable

    No more “talent around them arguments” please. All the other ones, fine. But he played against weaker defenses too. So it’s a wash. And your wide receiver skill doesn’t help you throw the ball. So much nit picking can be had. His completion percentage is lower because he has worse receivers but it’s better because it was mostly screen passes..

    The SEC is poor defenses? Huh?

    And again, that is a complete falsehood about screen passes. Not even remotely true

    Based just on throwing, Stroud had the best day.

    Stroud threw well, Levis did too.
    Stroud has minimal upside, he’s Jared Goff.

    Zack Kuntz lit up the combine.
    6’7 255 running a 4.55 with 40” vert and 10’8 broad jump with 34” arms.
    Washington and Musgrave did too, this TE class is talented.

    Clayton Tune tested better in every drill than Watson. I didn’t think Tune was athletic, didn’t watch much UH

    Jared Goff with better running is a good qb. Upside might be a bit higher than that, but I won’t argue with it because I do think it’s a good comp for him.

    He isn’t a better runner. Stroud is a very similar athlete to Goff.

    I was very impressed with Will Levis' interview. He's mentally sharp. Top of the draft class in this regard.
