●Jimmy Michaels 6'2 228 Ohio State 4.76 40 Time

•Todd McShay:
•Based on Todd McShay's analysis, Jimmy Michaels has a very strong arm but not necessarily elite arm strength. He has shown great accuracy on all three levels of the field and has an uncanny ability to find the open receiver even when on the run or being chased down. His mental alertness is natural, and he is capable of making all the mental adjustments needed to play in the NFL. Michaels has Houdini-like escapability and improvisational ability in the pocket, as well as peripheral, wide-eyed running vision and a very good feel for spacing.
•However, during his workouts, Michaels did not show that he had the kind of accuracy that could make him an elite starting quarterback in the NFL, and his footwork is inconsistent. His speed is also lower than expected, and he has small hands. Despite these weaknesses, Michaels has an outstanding body of growth, leadership, and production, and generally takes good care of the football. McShay suggests that Michaels could develop into a Ben Roethlisberger-type quarterback with his scrambling ability, power, and balance outside the pocket, but he will need to work on his accuracy if he wants to be a franchise quarterback in the NFL.
•Mel Kiper:
•It seems that there are conflicting reports about Jimmy Michaels, with some concerns about his arm strength and throwing motion, as well as his small hands and marginal height. There are also reports of alleged attitude problems. However, on the other hand, Michaels is praised for his accuracy, mobility, and ability to make all the necessary NFL throws. He is also said to have excellent touch and the ability to float the ball into his receiver when needed. Michaels has a good record as a starter, with tremendous leadership qualities and toughness. He is a confident passer attacking between the hashes and is patient in allowing routes to develop. Michaels is considered a solid dual-threat quarterback, with good pocket awareness and the ability to make big plays on the move. Overall, it seems that Michaels is a talented quarterback, but there are concerns about his consistency and whether he can maintain his high level of play at the NFL level.

•Todd McShay:
•According to Todd McShay, Leon Tyler is one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in the draft. While his college production is not impressive, his physical tools and intangibles are off the charts. McShay notes that Tyler has a rocket arm and exceptional accuracy, which he demonstrated at the combine and his pro day. Additionally, Tyler has a near-perfect Wonderlic score and a long list of academic achievements, indicating that he is intelligent and able to process complex information quickly.
•However, McShay also notes that Tyler's lack of experience in a pro-style offense and his struggles under pressure are concerns. He also suggests that Tyler needs to work on his mechanics, particularly his footwork, to improve his accuracy and ball placement. Despite these issues, McShay believes that Tyler's potential is too great to pass up, and he could be a steal for a team willing to take a chance on him.
•Mel Kiper:
•Mel Kiper's analysis on Leon Tyler is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. He acknowledges Tyler's decent arm strength, athletic ability, and quick release, which make him a Top 5 talent. However, Tyler's slow trigger and tendency to hold the ball too long are areas of concern. He can get heavy feet and become paralyzed in the pocket when pressured, and he is too conservative at times. Additionally, he has limited experience and played in a one-read offense. Kiper notes that Tyler is not very accurate and misses open receivers. He struggles with his decision-making and reading defenses, resulting in him throwing too many interceptions. Tyler also has poor throwing mechanics and fades and throws off his back foot when the pocket is muddled. Kiper concludes that Tyler is a boom-bust prospect with generational physical gifts but lacks nuance in his game.
● Zack Wallace 6'1 207 Oklahoma 4.34 40 time

•Todd McShay:
•Todd McShay's evaluation of Zack Wallace, a 6'0 205-pound quarterback from Oklahoma, highlights his strengths and weaknesses as a prospect for the NFL draft.
•According to McShay, Wallace has an impressive arm that allows him to make difficult throws, especially deep downfield. He also has the ability to make "wow" throws that leave observers amazed. Wallace's running ability is also notable, as he is explosive and can beat defenders in the open field. His production in college was impressive, with over 4,900 passing yards and 52 touchdowns.
•However, McShay notes several weaknesses in Wallace's game. He is not a naturally accurate passer and struggles with ball placement, even on easy throws. His footwork could also use improvement, and he tends to leave the pocket too frequently. McShay also questions whether Wallace's success in college was due to the Oklahoma system, as he rarely went through progressions and rarely threw to secondary and tertiary targets.
•Wallace's low Wonderlic score is also a concern, as it may indicate a lack of football intelligence. Finally, McShay notes that Wallace may need to change positions at the next level, as he is unproven as a wide receiver and still needs work on his mechanics, technique, and fundamentals.
•Overall, McShay sees Wallace as a long-term project, regardless of which position he plays. While he has impressive physical tools, he will need significant development to succeed in the NFL.
•Mel Kiper:
•It seems that Zack Wallace is a quarterback prospect with impressive physical talent, according to Mel Kiper. He has a huge arm and great athleticism, which has drawn comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. Wallace is also a dual-threat quarterback with good mobility, toughness, and vision as a runner. He has shown the ability to make tight spirals from a variety of arm slots, and he can deliver the ball to all points on the field.
•However, there are also some weaknesses that Kiper notes. Wallace needs to improve his accuracy and touch at all levels, as he can be inconsistent with his ball placement downfield. He has struggled with his decision-making and pre-snap recognition skills, and he can be quick to drop his eyes when pressure mounts. Additionally, he has a tendency to void viable pockets instead of climbing, scanning, and throwing from them. He will need to develop a more regimented style of footwork in the NFL.
•Kiper also mentions that Wallace's limited experience against top-flight defensive opposition is a concern, as his stats drop significantly against quality opponents. Despite these weaknesses, Kiper sees potential in Wallace and believes he needs time to develop and learn the intricacies of the pro game. Overall, Wallace is a quarterback prospect with impressive physical tools, but he will need to work on his weaknesses and continue to develop his skills to succeed at the next level.
