Overview

Snead declared for the 2010 draft in spite of having a rather disappointing junior year where he threw as many interceptions (20) as touchdowns. He has a live arm and can get the ball out of his hands quickly but tends to get indecisive and will force too many passes. He shows good accuracy on the short to intermediate throws but the ball will float or flutter on some of the intermediate to deep outs. He has already graduated from school and has the intelligence to pick things up but will need to develop his ability to read coverages and go through his progressions.

Analysis

Strengths

Snead has adequate height and good bulk for the quarterback position. Possesses enough speed to make some plays with his feet. Flashes the arm strength to make big time throws when his feet are set. Has a quick release. Intelligent.

Weaknesses

Snead is a prospect who needs more seasoning. Struggles with inconsistent spurts of accuracy. Does not do a good enough job taking care of the football and throws too many interceptions. Overall decision making ability needs some polish as does his ability to read coverages and run through progressions.

Grade Title Draft (Round) Description
96-100 Future Hall of Famer Top Pick A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played
85-95 Immediate Starter 1st An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter).
70-84 Eventual Starter 2nd-3rd A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position.
50-69 Draftable Player 4th-7th A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential.
20-49 Free Agent UDFA A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body.
