This year's Cody Kessler. Not sure how he went ahead of Peterman and Kaaya.
CJ has a great arm, is mobile, great decision maker and he's a winner. He struggled last year because Iowa had a JUCO WR Corp. There's a reason he was a top 3-5 QB draft wise coming into the year. Once he got to show his stuff to teams after the season they clearly liked what they saw. 2 years ago with serviceable receivers Beathard playes very well. There's a reason he beat out Jake at Iowa and I think Jake is backing up Stafford at Detroit if I'm not mistaken
Most draft profiles had him with far above average arm strength but who knows? Honestly the only problem I ever saw with CJ is he has poor pocket awareness and tended to lock in on guys BUT a big part of the latter is Iowa really had no viable wide outs last year after Vandeberg went down so CJ tended to lock in on Kittle. In 2015 he was excellent and even then the receiver Corp was just average. He will fit on great in SF because he actually throws better on the move and is very good out of play action which fits in well with Shanahan's scheme ( as you know )
I may send nudes if CJ Beathard is not only the best QB of this draft, but is a steal.
He had an awful Senior season followed by an even worse Senior Bowl.
Eh I wouldn't call it awful. His numbers weren't as good as 15 but he had basically no weapons and a far worse OL. He lost his best receiver early in the year and his pro caliber TE for a large portion as well. Reports are he really killed his pro day and his junior year tape was clearly enough to interest SF especially since what he does best fits perfectly with Shanahan's systems with the QBS on the Niners roster it wouldn't surprise me if CJ starts at some point this year. Ultimately the guy went 21-5 (?) as a starter and has a lot of intangibles that will lead to success. I jist don't think you can judge him too much on this last year, really no QB would've has great numbers with that receiving group
