Quarterback. FSU. Jameis Winston. 1. player. 48. <p>It’s not secret pro-style quarterbacks are valued more than spread option quarterbacks. Just look at the last 2 Florida State quarterbacks drafted. Both Christian Ponder and E.J. Manuel were neither worthy of top 15 draft picks, yet the pro-style system at Florida State led both Buffalo and Minnesota into believing they were NFL ready.</p> <p>Jameis Winston does have his faults off the field and with his elongated throwing motion, but he’s the most pro-ready quarterback in this draft. Plus, I liked that he struggled a bit last season because he bounced back and still won football games. Many quarterbacks at the college level are pampered because they’re “the quarterback of the football team.”</p> <p>Sometimes it’s good to struggle because there is going to be plenty of that at the NFL level. I’m very impressed with Winston’s on the field leadership and mentality. I think he makes the most sense for this Tampa Bay offense especially with weapons like Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans to work with.</p>
