Everyone knows that Teddy Bridgewater is one of the top players at the position, and we’ll evaluate him later, but for the first spotlight of 2014 let’s take a look at David Fales (pronounced fails).

Fales is currently the second rated QB on the board behind Bridgewater. Texas A&M sophomore Johnny Manziel is in the mix as well but we have him ranked slightly behind Fales.

Why? Easy: Fales has the arm.

The first thing that jumps off the screen at you is Fales’ incredible accuracy. Though he throws with kind of a weird spiral (he reminds me of Brady Quinn in that aspect) the ball gets there right on time between the numbers. Fales’ anticipation on deep-intermediate throws is already good enough to play on Sundays in my opinion. He doesn’t have the strongest arm but is adequate in that aspect.

If there is a limitation to his game it is his mobility. Not that he’s a stoic guy, David can actually move. However when he moves in the pocket nothing seems to happen unless its a designed move. Many times Fales gets in trouble trying to extend a play and loses yards when he should just get rid of the ball. I call it being “trapped by your own athleticism.” He’s got good mobility but he’s nothing like a Cam Newton or Teddy Bridgewater. If the lane isn’t WIDE OPEN, Fales shouldnt be running.

With that all said, I have Fales graded out as a TOP 3 prospect and the #2 QB. He’s a legitimate franchise player prospect. I compare David Fales as a better Jake Plummer with an Aaron Rodgers ceiling.
