Player Analysis

The Good

• Fast, shifty, and patient runner
• Nice high release
• Comfortable in pocket, looks downfield even with moderate pressure
• Solid passer on the run

The Bad

• Long release with little zip on passes
• If contained in pocket, he appears uncomfortable and limited
• Makes some poor decisions by throwing into coverage rather than throwing the ball away

Overall Assessment

PRE-DRAFT: Perkins is a good college quarterback, but doesn’t look to have the arm-strength to make it in the NFL.  He will need to really work on his footwork and become more comfortable in the pocket to have any chance. That is quite the task at this point, so I will pass.  Fantasy irrelevant.

POST-DRAFT: Perkins was signed by the Rams as an undrafted free agent. It looks to be a pretty weak quarterback room with Jared Goff and three UDFAs.  Perkins has a shot of beating the other two players, but I would expect the Rams to add a veteran backup at some point this offseason.  Pay attention to what the Rams do and if Perkins ends up the backup, he may be worth throwing on a taxi squad in superflex leagues with deeper rosters.
