http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/2136468/brad-kaayaSTRENGTHS: Adequate height for the position with room to add bulk. Strong understanding of touch and trajectory downfield, fitting the ball between levels of the defense. Unforced throwing motion with the arm strength to make all the necessary NFL throws. Displays crisp zip on outs, slants and dig routes. Efficient pocket movements with his upper and lower body, using pumps and motions to hold defenders. Uses both sides of the field, finding his second and third receivers. Anticipates pressures pre-snap, keeping a cool demeanor in the pocket. Enough mobility to occasionally extend plays, sliding and moving away from heat. Toughness was often tested at Miami, taking hits but only missing one game the past three seasons. Became the school's all-time leading passer in only three years (9,968), which is even more impressive considering the talent at quarterback Miami has produced over the years - also finished fourth all-time in ACC history in passing yards.
WEAKNESSES: Slow-twitch trigger and shows too much hesitation from within the pocket, holding the ball too long and taking hits. Leaner-than-ideal body type and needs to continue and fill out. Late, inconsistent decision-maker and needs to improve his anticipation of passing windows. Enough arm talent for the next level, but won't wow with his arm strength. Deep ball lacks life. Goes through erratic stretches with his accuracy. Sluggish feet and gets the deer-in-the-headlights look on some pressures - internal clock needs re-wired. Mechanics lack polish and needs to clean up his balance and footwork. Missed playing time as a sophomore due to a concussion (Oct. 2015) and played through an injured right shoulder as a junior (Oct. 2016).
COMPARES TO: Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams - Sporting a similar body type and arm, Kaaya has a lot of the same traits that made Goff the No. 1 overall pick last season. Kaaya isn't as poised under pressure or consistent with his decision-making, which is why he won't be drafted nearly as high, but their strengths as passers match up similar.
