    2024 7th Round Pick #245 Overall Michael Pratt - QB - Tulane



    Overview
    Highly experienced and a respected team leader, Pratt has shown consistent improvement from season to season. Pratt has done a nice job of making safe decisions instead of reckless ones and throws with touch over all three levels. He struggles to throw with consistent accuracy and placement on intermediate throws. Also, he appears to lack the anticipation and field awareness to beat NFL coverage across the field. Pratt has Day 3 potential but will be in a battle to win a future backup role.

    Strengths
    Four-year starter and three-year team captain.
    Displayed consistent improvement at the position over four years.
    Light feet in the pocket to slide and adjust positioning due to pressure.
    Consistently alters touch relative to the throw that is needed.
    Does a nice job of selling pump-and-go throws.
    Adequate mobility to create additional yardage as a scrambler.

    Weaknesses
    Below-average timing and arm talent as full-field thrower versus NFL coverage.
    Doesn’t throw with enough anticipation against zone windows.
    Slow to get through progressions and locate open targets on the backside.
    Struggles with consistent accuracy and ball placement outside the numbers.
    Forces wide receivers to break stride on downfield throws.

    He can play. I think it was kind of a surprise he lasted until the 7th round. I think he has more arm talent than Clifford.

    I’m on my phone or I’d post a picture of a giant wet noodle here.

    Not sure if it would be a reference to him or Clifford. Hell, they’re backups - meant to get a team through a few games, at best.

    The real competition will be which one can become Jordan Love’s best friend the fastest?

    If he trips over his own feet trying to get out of the pocket, is that a Prattfall?

    Lookout - ol’ Fritzy is on fire tonight, baby!

    Skin probably thinks he's better than Love.

    Not sure what you are focusing on in saying Pratt has more arm talent than Clifford. Looking at the tape, Clifford's arm appears much stronger. It's hard to assess Pratt's accuracy in the above clips since most of the throws are to receivers with no defender within 10+ yards.
