8. Davis Webb
The first rookie on this list, Webb likely has a lot of learning to do before he’s ready to step onto an NFL field with a legitimate shot to win games.
The biggest reason for this is that Webb was playing in an offense that’s about as far from an NFL-style offense as you can get. He excelled in Sonny Dykes’ Air Raid offense, but that’s the same offense that made Jared Goff so ill-prepared for the NFL. It won’t be any different for Webb.
Still, there is a lot to like about Webb as a future prospect. First off he has prototypical size (6-foot-5, 229 pounds) and can throw the ball over a mountain. He’s also intelligent, athletic and a quick study, which is why NFL teams have told him he’s a first-round talent.
But given his inexperience running an NFL style offense, any team that drafts Webb better have someone else on the roster who can start at least one season while Webb learns the ropes.
