Freeman is my #2 QB for this year's draft. He has unbelievable size and is a reminder of a young Daunte Culpepper. This year's QB class is very thin in top notch guys and I believe a lot of the guys not getting a bunch of hype are the ones to look out for in the future. I think wasting first and second round picks on QB's this year is crazy; there are so many great WR, OL, RB, LB, and DB this year that it would be hard for me to pass on them for this crop of QB's.
Strengths
Freeman is a tremendous athlete, he is another one like Stafford in the fact that he has a huge arm. Another of Freeman's assets is his mobility and experience. He has taken a lot of snaps for the Wildcats over the years and that speaks volumes to NFL scouts. Freeman has a great knack for recognizing, feeling, and avoiding pressure. His arm is incredible and he has a quick release with a laser delivery. Freeman is an intelligent leader behind center with a big big arm and great athleticism that puts him at #2 in my book.
Weaknesses
Josh Freeman's biggest downfalls are probably his accuracy and consistency. He struggles in big games and is less accurate than Stafford is. I believe his big arm also gets in the way of putting more touch and finesse on the ball. Freeman's delivery although solid can be choppy and inconsisitent which is why his completion percentage is not as high as some of the other prospects at QB. Freeman has a tough time reading defenses post snap and getting through his reads especially with quicker defenses (Oklahoma-3 INT).
Summary
All in all Josh Freeman is an absolute gem for a QB. I believe being a #2 pick at QB will be in his favor and may give him a chance to land on a team that does not need him to start right away. Josh's size, intelligence, arm, and mobility will give him all the opportunity in the world to succeed. Having a ton of game experience helps with the transition to the NFL for Freeman, but he is going to have struggles with the faster defenses of the NFL. Freeman and Stafford could flip flop either way in this draft but the edge goes to Stafford because of his experience against the faster more talented defenses of the SEC rather than the Big 12.
