I follow the NFL draft all year long and a lot of professional scouts already talking and dropping clips about the 2023 draft class. TVD seems to be top 5ish going into the year (Stroud, Young, Levis (Kentucky), TVD, Leary (NC State) is the order I see the most so far) and its always cool getting to see Miami players broken down unbiasedly to help setup realistic expectations.
With that said, more than a few scouts have noted how poorly Miami's offense was designed as far as helping the QB (lots of downfield throws with nothing underneath or a check down for the QB to hit if the deep routes don't get open). Thought that was really interesting as I know a few people have pointed how much TVD threw to 1 WR and some of the YOLO balls he got away with last year. This isn't really a knock to Lashlee because they probably were max protecting to help the oline, but I'm very excited to see how we look in what I expect to be a more QB friendly offense.
The things I've seen mentioned most by scouts as areas to work on are:
1. Having quicker feet and movement in the pocket
2. Shortening/speeding up his arm motion or having better anticipation to compensate
I think both are pretty fixable with his arm motion being more of an NFL issue than NCAA because I think he was the arm strength to overcome that vs almost all teams on our schedule.
Figure if anybody sees anything about Miami players we can drop them in here
