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.

In the Tulane vs USC game, Pratt was 8 for 17, 234 yards, 2 TDs, with 15 rushed for 83 yards.

I mean, USC is supposed to be more talented, but 8 for 17, doesn't sound good.


I know Gute wants to be more like Ron Wolf in terms of drafting and developing QBs... but there is a huge ass difference.

Back in the 1990s there was no limit (as far as I'm aware) of practice time, nor coaches meeting with players during the off-season, nor that practice time I'm the off-season.

In 2010 CBA it started and got even worse with the next CBA, limiting practice time and off-season time and suddenly the lower string players aren't developing like they used to. And coaches have said they don't carry 4 QBs because they don't even have half enough time for their 3rd QB.

During the draft some of the talking heads even talked about this, and they even mentioned one (nameless) QB felt like he wasn't getting enough development time, so he personally hired a coach and bought in WRs to work out after practice was over, because he felt like he needed it.


Now the Packers have added to their QB coaching staff which might help them a lot get more coaching in during the limited time MAYBE...

But if some team wants to become a QB factor, I think they need to figure out how to create a 3rd party QB school near them, including a coach they trust to develop QBs...

And either have no official control or stakes in it, or have some control and make it cheap to attend and charge it to the cap.

Also kinda hoping that adding the retired QB, to also go with our QB coach makes it possible for them to train and develop two guys.

MICHAEL PRATT, QB, TULANE
Rd. 7/Pk. 245.
Height: 6-2 ½.
Weight: 217.
40: None.
Hometown: Boca Raton, Fla.

Fact/stat: Rifle-armed Nickie Hall, another Green Wave quarterback, was drafted in the 10th round (No. 255) by the Packers in 1981. Four-year starter with an NFL passer rating of 101.8. Small hands (9 ¼). Passed for 9,603 yards and 90 TDs (26 picks) while running for 1,147 and 28 TDs. Refused to run the 40 at the combine and pro day. Also declined to be weighed at pro day. Was the 11th quarterback drafted.

AFC scout: “I like his size, his arm, his presence. He’s been a pleasant surprise. He can end up being a starter in time. I like his ability to distribute from the pocket. He’s a little better athlete than expected from a testing (standpoint). From the down-the-line group he’ll be the one who will rise up. It’s because of how he handles himself in the pocket and how he sees the game and how efficient he is.”

AFC scout: “I’m not sold on him. The Raiders took Aidan O’Connell in the fourth round (in 2023). He’s not as good as O’Connell.”

AFC scout: “I was really high on him after 2022. He got hurt (knee) second game this year and did not play as well. Backup type. Physically gifted. Inconsistent decisions. I’d like to work with the guy. He can run 4.7 to 4.75. The negative this year is holding the ball. Last year, I really thought he had a chance to be a top guy. He’s a nice athlete. He’s mobile. He’s got a good arm. I’d like to take him in the fourth or fifth and work with him.”
Go Packers!!!!

Nothing wrong with taking a QB. Work on getting the strongest back up you can. If he takes Clifford's spot that would be a good thing.
