1. If Atlanta has a chance to draft him they shouldn’t hesitate to bring in a very talented Carson Strong

Carson Strong is a player whose stock you should expect to rise as the draft nears. As more teams scout the strong-armed Nevada prospect they will realize was Nevada fans already do, Strong is the best quarterback prospect in this draft.

He isn’t the most pro-ready but if you want to take a shot at finding a dynamic player who can change your franchise’s fortunes you want Carson Strong. He easily has the best arm in his class and is facing questions based only on where he played and the level of competition.

His ability to thread the needle or to throw a perfect deep pass is what makes Strong stand out. It is also what is going to be the biggest question mark as he goes to the next level. Can he learn when to force throws and realize the level of competition he is now playing?

If they get the chance to draft him Atlanta shouldn’t hesitate to bring in the Nevada quarterback. He fits perfectly behind Matt Ryan and would have plenty of time to learn behind the veteran before facing the pressure of the next level.
