Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 67.42 (Role player)
Pro Comparison: C.J. Beathard
Strengths:
Small-statured, super-experienced QB with surprised athletic twitch. Will elude some defenders with his change-of-direction ability but isn't an improvisational master and is relatively slow for the position today. Shows good pocket movement skills but occasionally retreats/spins out of the way of pressure, thereby severely limiting the chances he completes a pass. Anticipatory throwing skill masks some of his arm-strength deficiencies. Needs to be in a particular, low-risk offense to be maximized at the next level.
Weaknesses:
Weaker arm. Doesn't throw with the pinpoint type accuracy a lesser-arm QB needs to be able to survive in the NFL. Doesn't read the field as well as expected given how many games he's started. Very conservative passer who barely takes risks, and it can be ugly when he attempts to stretch the field. Footwork is not sound, especially when moved off his base.
Accolades:
- 2021: Fourth in FBS in completion percentage (71.7%)
- 2020: First-team All-Big 12 (coaches)

49ers' Brock Purdy: Nabbed by San Fran with last pick
The 49ers selected Purdy in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 262nd overall.
And so Purdy becomes Mr. Irrelevant in this draft class as the former Iowa State quarterback heads to the Bay Area. Purdy had some hype as a potential early round selection after a strong start to his career with the Cyclones, highlighted by him throwing 27 touchdowns as a sophomore. Purdy didn't improve as an upperclassman, however, and his stock slid as a result. While he lacks starter-level traits for an NFL quarterback, Purdy could become a solid backup down the line.
