Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham

Last year, Nick Caserio praised Danny Etling's ball security skills after the draft. Stidham protected the ball well, too, posting a 48-to-13 TD-to-INT ratio in his college career.

Here's what NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said about Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham last week. Said he has "as much upside as any quarterback in the class" pic.twitter.com/t7xE9cZwin

Stidham: 6-2, 218 pounds. Upside, considered a smart guy who needs to develop. NE is a good place to do that. Daniel Jeremiah is on NFLN right now talking about how great of a thrower he is. He's accurate.
