Mark Sanchez - QB - USC

Mark Sanchez



Height: 6'3" Weight: 225 40 Time: 4.88



Sanchez is my #3 at QB for this years draft and the only reason he is not #1 or #2 is because of his lack of experience. Sanchez is a very good QB prospect with great size and he has almost flawless and consistent mechanics. Sanchez's lack of game experience and his knee issues is what would cause a team to pass on him. He will be a steal for an NFL franchise if he slips out of the 1st round.

Strengths

One of Sanchez's biggest strong points is his sound mechanics and pure skills at QB. Sanchez is very consistent in the drop and delivery of the ball. He stays balanced and controlled all the way through the delivery and that is why he makes few mistakes. Sanchez is an intelligent QB and does a good job of recognizing defenses and making them pay with big plays for their mistakes (Ohio State).

Weaknesses

Sanchez's biggest downside and question mark for NFL scouts is his lack of game experience. He really has only one year of significant playing experience. Sanchez lacks a whole lot of weakness in his game because of the coaching staff he plays for does a great job of preparing players for the NFL. One thing that I have noticed is some inconsistency when it comes to managing the game and not taking so many chances when they are up big, but that is the culture of college football and he will have to adjust to clock and game management in the NFL.

Summary

Sanchez is an incredible QB with solid and consistent technique. He will slip from some teams because of his lack of experience and knee issues. However, that may be the best thing for him because he may get to go to a team with an established QB that will give him time to learn and adjust to the difference in the NFL. Sanchez has all the potential and ability to be a perennial Pro Bowler in the future...but so did Matt Leinert and Carson Palmer.
