Player Analysis
The Good
- Good size, strong-armed pocket passer
- Quick Release
- Nice footwork and balance
- Accurate on intermediate and deep passes
- Good on short yardage QB sneaks
The Bad
- Loses accuracy when he tries to rip it
- Locks onto first read far too often
- Lacks accuracy on short passes
- Not very mobile, which causes him to get sacked a fair amount
Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Stanley is a traditional big, strong pocket passer. His accuracy on intermediate and deep routes, is impressive. Where he falls short is his accuracy on shorter passes. The ability to make short passes is a necessity to be a starter in the NFL. It also didn’t appear that Stanley improved much from 2018 to 2019. His ceiling looks to be a backup that a coach can feel comfortable with some spot-start duty. Stanley isn’t a player that should be added to any rosters at draft time.
POST-DRAFT: Stanley was drafted by the Vikings in the seventh round. He will be competing with Sean Mannion for the backup role and looks to be destined for the practice squad. Another one of these late draft picks that may be worth adding to a taxi squad in superflex leagues.
