Position:

3 Anthony Richardson

Description: Anthony Richardson is the type of QB that general managers dream of, but also fear, drafting. Converting on a prospect as dynamic athletically as he is can save a GM’s job, but failing can cost him his job. The physical tools of Richardson are insane. He is only 20 years old, 6’4”, 244lbs, and runs a 40 yard dash in the 4.4 range. He did not have elite production in his last year at Florida, but displayed his high-end speed and a cannon for an arm. He did have performances at times where his inexperience showed up on film, but he also displayed an ability to read defenses, anticipate windows opening, and throw with good timing and accuracy. The debate on Richardson is comparing the physical tools vs how raw and young he is. As such, he should be drafted by a team that does not need him to start right away. If developed properly, his ceiling is a Josh Allen-type player, who is both a dual-threat to run over a defense and lead drives with his arm as well.
