He's way ahead of the pack right now (position-wise). Haskins has a back-loaded schedule and could keep rising, but Herbert has shown everything he's needed to this season. Ideal size (6'5, 230), the arm is there, the accuracy is good-to-outstanding, and he's made plays in a disrupted pocket. He already has the Oregon offense dialed in, so another year in a college system isn't going to improve him much.

There's some ticky-tack stuff to note -- he's a bit indecisive when his pre-snap coverage read is wrong, and his long bucket throws down the sideline can be surprisingly awful -- but this is a franchise prospect otherwise. No need to be overthink it, or turn him into something he isn't (generational talent? he's good, but I don't get that feeling at all).

+ Spins a beautiful fastball and can attack all levels of the field
+ Throws really, really well off-schedule and from bad platforms (ie scrambling)
+ Repeatedly fits the ball into small coverage gaps with accuracy and anticipation
+ Keeps his eyes up when defenders collapse and not too prideful to check down
+ Dangerous mobility; if everyone turns their backs to him in man coverage he will hurt you

- Still getting experience reps, and you can see him thinking in the pocket when there's a trap coverage or the safeties rotate late
- Has a staid, quiet persona...different teams will interpret that differently, for good and bad
