Overview
Kafka rebounded for a nice senior season after being bounced around and showing a lot of inconsistencies during his first three years. He is a touch passer that relies on timing and accuracy with the short throws to get the job done. He has marginal arm strength and needs room to step into his throws in order to get any zip on the ball. He generally takes the snap from the shotgun formation and will need his share of time to learn how to go under center, take the snap and drop to the pocket. He is a smart quarterback that can read coverages and go through his progressions but has too many physical limitations to be considered more than a backup.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Kafka doesn’t have the speed to be considered a threat in the open field. Struggled to perform at a consistently high level early in his career. Lacks experience in a pro-style system after spending most of his time from the shotgun in the spread. Does not possess the necessary arm strength to hit the deep out or push the ball down the field against defenses at the next level.

| 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. |
