I’ve seen Dobbs rated higher on other lists, but it is hard for me to put him any higher than at ninth. He has certain skills, but there is still a lot missing.

He was the starter for Tennessee for two and half years. In 2016 he had 2,946 passing yards with 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Over his whole career, Dobbs threw for 7,138 yards, 53 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.

His greatest strength is in his mobility. He can keep plays alive with his legs. Dobbs ran a 4.64 40 yard dash time, which was the second fastest of all QB’s at the combine.  He is a very smart man and he should be to gage an NFL offense.

The problem is that Dobbs isn’t a real consistent player and his play can be undisciplined at times. He will make bad throws at times. He would be an interesting prospect for a team if they are willing to put the time in on him and if he is willing to possibly change some mechanics.
