Kaaya looks pretty good so far in his class, but most of that class will just get going his next year.
My oh my at those thinking he'll project better at the next level than Watson. I said last year if Watson remained healthy he would be up for the Heisman. I had Clemson as my dark horse to win it all providing he was healthy. One thing happened with the other a possibility, and here's another prediction....Watson will be picked an entire round or two higher than Kaaya, even if they come out the same year.
Kaaya can have a good year the next one or two, but his lack of mobility will scare the **** out of NFL coaches. If he can't improve that, I don't care how good he looks in the pocket, he'll be lucky to see anything lower than the fourth round. You don't need to be Randall Cunningham back there, but the NFL will eat you alive if you've got the footwork, pocket presense, and lack of escapability he currently possesses. His lack of consistent play downfield will also hurt his grade.
Don't get me wrong, he's still a sophomore with time to improve much of that. Richt was the best thing that could've happened to him from a playbook and coaching standpoint. Still, he's gotta work on a lot of his weaknesses. He can light it up from time to time, so we'll see what happens.
