Position:

4 Will Levis

Description: Will Levis displays some similar tools to Anthony Richardson, but there are some noteworthy differences. Richardson will be 21 for his rookie season, and will be 20 on draft day. Levis, conversely, is 23 on draft day and turns 24 before his first NFL training camp. As a result, Richardson has less pressure to start year one than Levis does. The problem is, Levis does not appear ready to take the reigns week one at QB for his team. While Levis displays great size with a rocket arm and good mobility, he struggled mightily during his last year at Kentucky. He can demonstrate poor decision-making and slow processing, that leads to an increase in turnover-worthy plays. He often trusts his immense arm strength to attempt to make plays for the offense, even in ill-advised situations. There is some Jay Cutler to his game in this regard. Ultimately, a general manager who is in need of a QB is going to look at his traits and convince themselves he is worthy of a top ten pick, even though he is more worthy of a back-end Round 1 or early Round 2 pick. His age, combined with the tools, is going to cause him to be thrust into a starting role sooner than later, which could be detrimental to his career.
