Brad Kaaya is quickly emerging as one of my favorite quarterback prospects in this year’s draft. There may not be anyone in this year’s class — at any position — who loves football more than this guy, and he’s been through a lot over the last three years at Miami.

Coming from Los Angeles, Kaaya made the decision to play at the University of Miami all the way across the country, and it turned out to be the right decision. Kaaya was the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2014 when he threw 25 touchdowns compared to just 11 interceptions, showing he had the poise to make plays from the pocket from an early age.

I love Kaaya’s decision-making, but he can be erratic at times with accuracy and doesn’t have the best velocity on his throws. For those reasons, he isn’t likely to be picked until day two or three of the draft.

If he’s still available on day three when the Broncos are on the clock in the fourth round, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to consider drafting this kid. He seems like the type of player who will add value to the quarterback room providing an extra set of eyes as a film junky, but also has the upside to be a decent starting quarterback in the league with some development.
