Starting the list off is the Virginia Tech QB, Jerod Evans. He is not the biggest name QB that could be taken in the draft, but he has a decent upside.

In his one and only year at Virginia Tech, Evans threw for 3,552 yards with 29 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He also ran for 759 yards and 10 touchdowns. He led Virginia Tech to the ACC championship game and also to win over Arkansas in the Belk Bowl.

Evans is a very good runner for his position. At the combine he posted a 40 time of 4.80. Aside from that his game needs some work. His accuracy isn’t totally their and at times his play making isn’t always there either.

Many were surprised that he would leave after only one year. He may not be ready to be an NFL QB yet. He has an interesting skill set and it will be interesting to see if any team takes a chance on him late. Odds are he will be taken toward the end of the draft and he may not be taken at all.
