Player Analysis
The Good
- Prototypical size with strong arm
- Reads leverage of defender well and passes away from them
- Leads receivers well
- Accurate on deep play-action passes
- With protection, able to pick defense apart
The Bad
- Not mobile, so pressure can cause him to get antsy/frantic
- Locks onto first read at times
- Throws into double-coverage a lot, fortunately his arm strength often saves him
- Pocket awareness is lacking causing him to take some unnecessary sacks
- Lack of timing on many passes
Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Eason is a player that some GM is going to love due to his elite “old school” prototypical size and arm strength. His decision making is his biggest obstacle to being a long-term starter in the NFL. If he can work on that and improve dealing with pressure, he can be someone that you will be happy with on your rosters in 1QB and Superflex leagues. I expect him to be drafted in the top two rounds of the NFL draft and for you to be able to get him late in 1QB rookie drafts and in the 2nd round of Superflex leagues.
POST-DRAFT: Eason was selected by Indianapolis in the fourth round. He falls into a pretty positive situation where he has a season or two to develop behind Philip Rivers. He will probably end up as the third quarterback, as long as the Colts keep Jacoby Brissett on the roster. Eason is going in the third round of most superflex rookie drafts and that seems like a good deal if you are willing to be patient. He isn’t someone that needs to be added in 1QB for 2020.
