You take him at 27?

Yes, absolutely. I believe he has the best overall skill set of any QB in the draft, but he had some accuracy issues and decision making issues this year largely helped by inexperience on the O-line and at WR. He's still very young and needs more time to develop reading coverages, but even then he ran a relatively complex spread scheme at Notre Dame. He didn't throw an insane number of interceptions, so that's a plus. He has a great arm and throws with good touch. He's big, strong, and athletic. He's a pocket passer first, showing the ability to stand in the pocket, move around a bit to buy time, and usually tries to keep his eyes down the field. I think a large portion of the "hesitancy" thrown out and about by scouts is alot to do with WRs not actually getting open or him having to scramble around in the pocket just to get the ball to them this season. You didn't see that as much in 2015 when he had much more talent around him. I would like to see him process more quickly through progressions and not stare down targets as frequently, and that is a knock on every single collegiate QB really. I don't see him having any more of a problem with it than any other QB in this class. I also think he has to clean up his accuracy on out routes to the sideline. I saw him miss alot of those this year that were pretty damn routine, easy hits for 8-10 yards.
I'm a huge fan of Kizer's.
