ESPN analyst has Georgia football QB Jake Fromm moving up in NFL draft

Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, who elected to skip his senior year and test the NFL draft, has one influential football analyst predicting Fromm made the right decision to move on.

ESPN analyst Todd McShay has Fromm rated as the 28th overall player and the fourth best quarterback in the draft. Fromm was 35-7 as UGA’s starter and 13-7 against Top 25 teams during his three years in Athens.

“There’s a reason talented quarterbacks such as Justin Fields and Jacob Eason kept transferring out of Georgia,” McShay wrote on Wednesday.

“Though he is the least physically gifted of the top five quarterbacks in the class, Fromm is the type of QB who will always find a way to win and excel with high-end football intelligence.”

In Yahoo Sports mock draft, they have Fromm selected by Chicago in the second round, 43rd overall, but the Bears first pick. USA Today has Fromm going to the Las Vegas Raiders (sounds a bit strange) in the third round with the 91st overall pick.

The 2020 NFL Draft will be the 85th annual meeting of National Football League franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is scheduled to be held from April 23–25, 2020 in Las Vegas.
