Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Morgan is the old-school prototypical quarterback. He lacks any sort of mobility, has good size and a cannon arm. His poor deep accuracy reminds me of Josh Allen a bit, since he overthrows a lot of receivers. When he tries to tone it down, he can underthrow the deep pass and the receiver has to wait for it. That is something he will definitely have to correct to become an effective quarterback in the NFL. Some team will really like his tools and I can see him being taken late in the draft. He is someone I am going to be paying attention to, but I don’t have any expectations for him in 2020. Late round flier in Superflex leagues.
POST-DRAFT: Morgan was drafted by the Jets in the fourth round. This is higher than expected, but he has a clear roadblock in front of him in Sam Darnold. He is definitely a project and will probably end up being the Jets third quarterback this season, but has the chance to turn into a promising backup. He is worth adding to your taxi squads in superflex leagues.
