Still have plenty of holes to address though
Rattler didn't have a really good college career and is on the small side. Unless they thinking he has some crazy upside probably not a good idea to waste a mid round pick on a QB which they don't really hit there.
Especially a 2nd or 3rd rounder which can be starters form day 1 at some key positions we need.
Yeah, he came out of HS and seemed extremely immature. He got bounced out of the role for Caleb Williams and then transferred to a South Carolina team that wasn’t very good at all.
I think that experience humbled him a lot and playing at SC was probably very beneficial for him playing in a pro-style offense. He has some interesting tools and had some really good flashes but definitely question marks.
Pratt is someone I’m really interested in as a 3rd-4th round guy ideally. Has decent enough mobility, good production, and actually beat Caleb Williams in a bowl game not this year but the year prior.
He has some flaws but he is someone who isn’t going to only look at check downs. He likes throwing downfield and would be better suited for guys like Nabers and Hyatt.
That being said, I agree 100% unless they feel really good about them it’s hard to pass up guys who likely could be starters or key contributors year 1
