Kyle Lauletta NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for New York Giants' Pick

POSITIVES

—His natural athleticism jumps off the tape. He is able to move in the pocket while keeping his feet balanced and eyes downfield with great poise.

—With his quick delivery and adequate throwing motion, Lauletta can make the short to intermediate throws and shows a soft touch up the seam.

—Spins the ball with a tight spiral and velocity to all levels.

—While some small-school quarterbacks struggle with the pressure of the Senior Bowl, he proved he was up to the challenge.

—Uber-productive in college, Lauletta will look to be a Day 3 developmental prospect with future starter potential.

NEGATIVES

—Will have to prove he was more than a system quarterback with gaudy numbers.

—The Richmond spread offense doesn't make for an easy transition to the NFL.

—Lauletta will have to work on the small things: footwork drops from under center, taking snaps from under center, improving arm strength and sensing pressure in the pocket.

—He has the poise to stand tall and face the crowd, but he needs to use his quickness to escape and reset more frequently.

—Tries to win with his legs too much for the type of athlete he is.

Kyle Lauletta QB NFL Draft

GRADE: 6.50 (Round 3)

PRO COMPARISON: Alex Smith, Washington

OVERALL

Lauletta was the belle of the ball as a sleeper quarterback at the Senior Bowl but may have seen his stock artificially inflated leaving Mobile. He's still a nice developmental prospect at quarterback but isn't game-ready.
