STRENGTHS
Jarrett has solid athletic skills and has enough arm strength to be considered a top developmental quarterback for the team that selects him. When he throws in rhythm he is accurate and has good enough velocity to be effective in the red zone. Jarrett shows solid athletic skills to extend plays with his feet and can move, reset and still be accurate from the pocket. When he has time Jarrett can make plays in the passing game equal to the better quarterbacks in this draft. He does a good job identifying, blitzing lineman at the line of scrimmage. Like I stated before, Jarrett has all the tools to be a good development quarterback with the the potential to be a starting quarterback for an NFL team.
CONCERNS
There all a lot of issues but none that can not be corrected with the right coaching and given enough time. Jarrett struggles mainly because he is trying to do too much, holding on to the ball too long, not going to check downs early enough and looking too much down the field for the big play on every play. His mechanics are not consistent and he doesn’t do well throwing down the field accurately when he is on the run. His foot speed is questionable when flushed from the pocket and he would do much better if he just manipulated the pocket more and reset, rather than leave the pocket. Jarrett just needs to get his overall play under control and not think he needs to do everything. He needs to allow the players around him to make him better.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 3.17
Jarrett runs hot and cold during a game because he thinks he has to make a play all the time. Football maturity, is what Jarrett has to develop at the next level. Patience with his own play on the field and understanding better down and distance and situational football. The game has to slow down for him more mentally than physically. When that happens then Jarrett’s athletic talent will match up to his mental talent and he will become a pretty good quarterback. The question is how long will that take? Jarrett reminds me a lot of a former Buffalo Bills QB Rob Johnson. (Look him up, I can’t do everything for you) Rob was selected in the 4th Rd of the 1995 Draft and proceeded to play for 6 different teams showing flashes of being a good quarterback but never getting over the mental hump to match up with his athletic talent. Nevertheless, Rob does have a super Bowl Ring as a back up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jarrett has the same issues and the same talent as Rob but if he gets with the right coaching staff and the right offensive system he might go to the big game too. For me personally. I would let some other team select him and see were he is after his first contract is up. But that’s just me, talking to myself.
