If he's a day 3 pick (particularly rounds 5 or later) it's smart to plan for a future beyond Rodgers (should they land him) and Wilson (should he fail to improve, and even if he does they need a QB2).

Over time, a couple of these less-heralded guys will become something. Most won't, of course, but no one wins a lottery without buying a ticket. If we land one on the first try, bully for us. If not, try again another time, with a 5th or even a 6th round pick that can be recouped by trading down a few slots earlier for roughly the same level prospect earlier (e.g. 43 vs 47).

Gotta be in it to win it. 

Then again he's a ****ing lefty QB.

Also this isn't my own observation but it's not good if anyone comes away thinking this:

  • Ahlers has a very limited arm.
  • Doesn’t show the ability to drive the football well with velocity.
  • Offers little to no deep ball. He struggles to throw the ball properly and, with a lack of a spiral, loses much of his ability to control it.
  • He has little to no ability to throw with arc or touch because of the circular motion of his release. Every ball is on a line. Has a very awkward and uncomfortable-looking circular release.
  • The ball looks like a dying duck, even on short throws underneath. He tends to put a downward spiral on his throws.
  • Accuracy is very spotty. Very large box accuracy. Can throw with timing and anticipation.
  • His placement is awful consistently.
  • Average pocket positioning during his drop back.
  • Little heavy-footed for my liking.
  • Limited downfield ability. Offers some ability as a runner. Has a little bit of power to his game, has the body size to take contact.
  • He doesn’t offer much ability to extend plays.

So there's that, lol.

Kid had a pretty nice season for not having arm strength, accuracy, touch and ball placement skills.?
