150. Saints: Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Grade: A-
Former huge recruit who once received first-round buzz. Arm talent jumps off the film. Unafraid to make any throw and at South Carolina connected on many of them. Low-level athlete despite some functional movement away from pressure. Accuracy is good, and reads coverages decently. Older prospect but does have upside. Smart investment this late.
The B/R NFL Scouting Department described the fifth-round pick as "arm talent personified," adding that there are "only a handful of players who throw with his flexibility and arm strength and accuracy. Rattler has the aggressive mindset to be a difference maker, too. He'll just need time to find the balance with his aggression and continue adjusting to pro-style passing concepts."
