Luke Falk NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Tennessee Titans' Pick

Matt Miller
Apr 28, 2018

POSITIVES

โ€”A prototypical pocket passer with a tight, quick release.

โ€”Has the arm to throw with velocity to every level and shows an understanding of timing and space.

โ€”A high-IQ passer who has won over scouts and coaches in interviews.

โ€”Falk is a great passer on deep routes and has the touch and timing to give receivers room to make plays.

โ€”A good enough athlete to slide in the pocket and can step up and run.

โ€”Overall accuracy is a major positive.

NEGATIVES

โ€”Injuries have added up, and he was briefly benched as a senior.

โ€”Scheme concerns are prevalent coming from Mike Leach's offense.

โ€”Can get caught hanging on to the ball in the pocket and waiting for windows to open.

โ€”Needs to learn the difference between college covered and NFL covered.

โ€”Banged up coming out of college and might be feeling that still.

GRADE: 6.65 (Round 3)

PRO COMPARISON: Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings

OVERALL

Falk might not be a fit in every scheme, but in a West Coast system he has the tools and smarts to step in and play right away. He doesn't compare favorably to the trait-based quarterbacks in this class but is a natural passer.
