Meanwhile, Kevin Cole of PFF had different views about Drew. Cole stated that even if Drew was picked in the second-round draft it doesn’t mean the Denver QB will see a lot of success.

The PFF host chose the first round drafts over Lock. Cole said that he would rather pick most of the quarterbacks that came up this year, at least the first-rounders.

He summed saying that it is tough to give Drew that position despite his young age and the tools that he has.
