Blake Sims QB Alabama #6
Wt: 208
Strengths: Nice mobility. Moves well within the pocket and can be a threat on the move. Adequate arm strength. Quickly developed a strong rapport with his top target, Amario Cooper.
Weaknesses: Undersized; lacks ideal height and overall build. Accuracy is very shaky. Inconsistent footwork and release leads to erratic throws, especially down the field. Limited experience; only one year as the starter at Alabama. Basically a one-read quarterback; rarely goes through his progressions and typically locks onto Cooper.

Overview: Blake Sims reminds me of Troy Smith early in his career. Unfortunately for Sims, he didn’t win the starting job at Alabama until his senior year, so it’s on to the NFL with little experience. His decision making is below average and physical tools leave a lot to be desired, giving him little upside as a developmental prospect. He’ll likely go undrafted and may be asked to try a new position in an NFL training camp.
