So you are looking at teams that have a stable situation at QB and are just looking at picking up a guy they could develop, rather than a Josh Allen type of prospect that a team with a desperate need are willing to overpay in the hope his physical tools will translate ?
I think the combination of his size and level of competition probably dictate that. When you get a guy coming out of the FCS that goes high it's usually going to be an "off the bus" type that impresses the hell out of you just staring at him (because he's big). Those would be Carson Wentz and Joe Flacco.
I don't know exactly how tall Easton Stick is, I fear he might be closer to 6'0" than 6'2" but you never know that until they're measured. But I know that if you're coming out of the FCS trying to be a high 1st round pick, which is what you're talking about where a team in desperate need of a QB is going to put their name next to you and say, you're my guy for the next three years, then I think you've got to be tall AND big armed AND athletic AND high character, etc. You've seen guys that break some of those rules continue to be 1st round picks but not necessarily out of the FCS.
Tough for me to imagine he goes below where Jimmy Garoppolo went, though.
Miami could justify it if they went out and got Teddy Bridgewater. They'd be able to say we've got two very promising guys and we're going to let them compete.
