The Most Complicated QB to Evaluate

Quinn Ewers has Texas in a great spot, but can he be the chosen one on Sundays?

In the last few weeks, I have started to prepare for the draft. I really can’t dig too deep and begin the long process of daily evaluations until the Cowboys are finally put down for the winter, but I am assembling lists, tape, and projects that are all part of the long journey. I love this process, but it is a lot, and I want to only do it if I am taking it seriously. I want to do the best I can.

Already, several of you have asked me about some players specifically. And since more than a few have asked about the same player, I thought I would give you a piece – albeit not one that will have any solid conclusions – on Texas QB Quinn Ewers.

I cannot remember a roller-coaster ride like this one. But I do remember when I first talked to one of my NFL scout buddies after Quinn announced he was transferring back to Texas from Ohio State because he wasn’t going to wait for C.J. Stroud to leave:

“He has a chance to be the first pick in the draft in a few years.”

“Really?”

“Oh yeah. He has all the tools.”

I remember that call clearly. I made the mistake of relaying the message on the radio a few times, and when he looked lost without a compass in Stillwater in 2022 and at home against TCU a few weeks later, I had some UT folks remind me that I said he would be the first pick in the draft.
