Also like the article mentioned shaw has major durability concerns or he would be much higher on the boards IMO.

When you look up the stats, Shaw was on point with the cream of the crop on percentage of deep balls completed, where he lacks is truly on velocity.

Seriously folks...... Yahoo
Love our former players, but come on. Shaw could go anywhere from the late rounds to undrafted. Manziel is a guaranteed first round pick and that's for obvious reason.

Shaw has:

-Shaky mechanics
-Always looks to run first
-Isn't known as a high volume pocket passer

He doesn't exactly project as a strong quarterback prospect. He's eerily similar to Tebow.

I think Shaw was the only Quarterback at the combine whose ball did not pass 50 mph

CBS Sports has him as their 14th rated QB. NFLDraftScout has him as their 15th rated QB. Again, I love our schools players, but I'm not going to pretend they're something they aren't. There's a realistic scenario where Shaw could go undrafted. He isn't a highly rated NFL quarterback prospect. I'm rooting for him to get selected though.
