Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Jake Haener

Jake Haener Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

Haener is a max-effort thrower with average arm strength. His offense catered to his quick release and accuracy on short and intermediate timing throws. The best-case scenario would be an offense that asks Haener to operate as a quick processing point guard. He profiles as a solid backup that could keep the offense afloat in a pinch. Please don’t ask him to go out and play Superman or be a floor-raising QB. His outside-the-numbers accuracy can be spotty. Haener’s arm strength limitations show up here, but he does display the ability to layer throws versus zone coverage.

Jake Haener 2023 NFL Draft Outlook

Haener was generally considered the top quarterback at this year’s Senior Bowl, which appears to have elevated his draft stock into the mid-rounds as a quick-game passer who throws with touch over the middle of the field and who has some experience working through progressions. When given a clean pocket to work with, he is able to protect the football and give his receivers a chance to pick up yards after the catch, but his relatively limited tools will probably relegate him to more of a backup/spot starter role at the next level.
