QB Connor Cook, 2016 draft class
Michigan State

SIZE: 6’4-220
SPEED: 4.89x40
POWER: n/a
AGILITY: n/a

Cook has been garnering some props from scouts as a passer... has solid size and durability... hot-n-cold passer has displayed inconsistent tape... mechanical in movement... slow footwork in drop back... mid-level ball carriage; can be raised as a pro... questionable vision and anticipation... releases most times with overhand motion... not an effective timing passer... does not throw to ‘spots’ well... accuracy is lacking... strong arm... tends to force throws... too many balls headed towards covered targets... mobility is poor... grossly inaccurate on the move... streaky... average ball handling skills, showing cursory ball fakes... not sharp with finesse plays, screens... faced top-level defensive competition... completion % under 60% a red flag... needs another year of seasoning.

FANTASY BREAKDOWN:
Connor Cook is a classic drop back passer with little mobility. Cook shows no outstanding aspects that jump out on tape; he is what he is. Pressure on the QB is a key M.O. of NFL defenses these days, and pro passers need to be creative and able to make plays outside the pocket. Cook is a poor passer on the move and that will not translate well in the big leagues. He can be a Kirk Cousins-Chad Henne type backup, but his upside as a starter and FFB producer is flat.
The Straight Talk: What you see is what you get. Cook is a big, drop-back QB that just doesn’t do anything in outstanding fashion. He forces throws into coverage, is less-than-accurate once flushed out of a comfy pocket and shows little creativity. He’ll get hot for a series or two in a game, but there is no consistency in his game. His pro potential at this point comes with a low ceiling.
