Coaching, training camp, film study only does so much. He is so incredibly raw, but appears to have the right mental makeup to be someone who is going to succeed in the NFL.

I agree, provided our OL is adequate enough to keep him from being repeatedly blindsided, and pummeled! He's going to get hit, sacked, and occasionally roughed up, it's the NFL, but we can't just let him get the hell beat out of him every game! I am totally onboard with this pick, I think we have our franchise QB for years to come if we can protect him!
