Onto the Vikings: there are a lot of solid OL guys sitting around, once you have one or two off the board then look to trade up and snag Ford or that Florida guy who has been falling. Frankly they need to draft three OL this draft. 1 in the first, 1 in the second and then 1 in the 5th/6th
0:06 - First play, throws badly behind the receiver on the quick slant. This ball needs to be a good yard further out in front of the WR.
0:30 - This is why the kid deserves some buzz, rolls out, sets his feet, pinpoint pass. If he did this all the time he'd be #1 overall.
0:46 - Another nice throw while rolling out, he oddly seems more accurate on the move than staying in the pocket.
0:58 - This is where I wish the decision making was better. You're out side the tackle box, just throw this away, instead he takes a 3 yard loss.
1:10 - Same play, different view. If he reads the coverage properly, he should know his left slot receiver will come open but he seems to have no clue. His drop is too DEEP and poor that he really has no chance to hit this throw, hes like 13 yards behind the LoS I really don't get what he was doing with that drop.
1:24 - Quick read and good throw for the WR screen nothing to complain about here.
1:43 - Ball is thrown a bit too much inside, really doesn't give his WR a chance on what should be an easy TD back shoulder throw.
2:04 - Really nice play from Lock here, hits his drop well and the ball comes out pin point accurate.
2:17 - I like what I see here, this throw is good enough that the WR should have caught it for the TD. It could be a little higher and a tiny bit more out front but that's nit picking.
3:03 - The ball is a bit low and wide and his WR makes a poor effort. I'd give this general accuracy and not pin point as it's not in the ideal location but an NFL caliber WR can make that catch.
3:34 to 3:45 - Have to call this one inaccurate, it's just too far behind the WR who's open to even be called general accuracy when you factor in where the DB is. It's too easy for the defender to make a play on this ball.
4:12 to 4:35 - Looking for that shallow crosser to the TE which is double covered and wisely pulls it down, his wide left WR is pretty obviously going to come open on the comeback to the side line based on the defense but Lock doesn't realize it. He bails on that side of the field and extends the play and finds the open man. I'll give the throw pinpoint accuracy, it's not perfect but the WR doesn't have to adjust much and can stay in full stride. This play has both good and bad. He completely miss reads / misses his wide left WR coming open at the sticks but is able to make a harder throw he wouldn't have had to make.
4:45 - Can't give this one pinpoint accuracy as it's too far behind the receiver but it's generally accurate. Most will look at this and say hey the result was good this is a good play but I'm looking at the process.
5:05 - This is an example that Lock doesn't really read defenses well or understand coverage and predetermined where he was going to go with the football, why is he throwing this? 22 is in perfect position to break this up and the receiver really has 3 defenders around him. Mean while, look at the top of the screen, the wide left WR has a 1 on 1 for a fade in the endzone and the second left WR comes wide open at the 10 yard line. It's 2nd and 7 easy first down if he reads this coverage properly or he can take a shot at the endzone.
5:25 - Lock has terrible decision making in the redzone, he needs to throw this out the back of the endzone and take the field goal, this is probably a pick in the NFL.
5:50 - No complaints here, pin point accurate pass on the move.
6:06 - Another mixed play here, he's locked onto his bottom receiver on the slant even though #7 is playing press man with a safety coming down right inside the 40 where this slant is suppose to go. Pre-snap and during the play action (he's staring right at that safety) he should be able to determine that isn't a viable option. The good is that he eventually does come off it and finds an open man. If you just look at the result you will say this is a great play by Lock but the truth is he was focused on a slant that was never going to materialize and as a scout I'm trying to determine if he can actually read coverage / defenses.
6:51 to 7:09 - Pinpoint throw here, no complaints with it. However, He should know that that safety is responsible for that entire side of the field so a pump fake to that TE draws the safety over and that right slot WR comes wide open for a touchdown. I can't really blame Lock for taking the first open throw he sees but a smarter QB who can manipulate safeties and see the big picture gets a TD there.
7:15 - play breaks down and he throws a weak dangerous pass that could have gone for a pick 6. You have a CANNON throw it into the stands!!
7:31 - Would have liked him to go to 81 here the tight end, get's a nice release with a lot of room to work the fade. Throwing to #9 also should have worked but the pass is slightly behind and inaccurate allowing the CB to make a play.
7:46 - Horribly over thrown ball, no shot at all.
8:05 - really poor location on this throw, I can't even give this one general accuracy.
8:16 - Not even sure what you call this little spin after the snap LOL.
8:24 - This is one of the worst decisions / pick 6's you'll ever see a QB make. It's an RB screen and an o-lineman falls down taking the RB with him, all the other WR's are already blocking... just throw it into the stands. WHAT THE f*ck?
By now it's raining like crazy and the mistakes keep piling up. Overall, you can see why some people really like him, there are flashes of brilliance but there are also enough question marks for me when it comes to his decision making, redzone awareness, and his ability to actually read defenses / coverage pre and post snap.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
