Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 71.15 (Roster depth)

Pro Comparison: Brandon Allen

Summary

Graham Mertz is a stable Day 3 quarterback option. He has a lot of experience at the collegiate level despite a history of injuries. He does a good job leading pass-catchers in the short to intermediate, but that anticipation wanes deeper down the field. Mertz shows good pocket awareness, but struggles to identify extra defenders in zone coverage.

About

2020-22 (at Wisconsin): 32 starts over three seasons
2023 (at Florida): Ranked third in the FBS with 72.9 completion percentage; set school record with 239 passes without an interception

Strengths

Good job leading receivers in the short- to-intermediate areas
Throws with touch
