Drew Lock

I'd really like to see Lock step into his throws a bit more, as it almost always seems like he's leaning back when he delivers the ball. He does keep the ball up by his chest much of the time and has an incredibly quick release, but seems to aim his passes rather than let his body naturally sling it in. His offensive line play allowed him to pat the ball quite often, which could be an issue because he seems late to respond to pressure. He had the ball stripped twice versus Georgia and even took a safety against Alabama. There are some physical traits that are great and his arm strength is obvious, but he's far from a can't-miss prospect. He simply relies too much on his arm at times.

Drew Lock headed to short-term IR

John Elway said that rookie QB Drew Lock is going on short-term IR Saturday, according to Mike Klis.

Fantasy Impact

Lock, a second-round pick, won't be eligible to come off of IR until after eight weeks into the season. With Joe Flacco firmly atop the depth chart and Lock guaranteed to miss at least the first eight games of the season, Lock's fantasy value lies solely in dynasty leagues. The Broncos, who cut Kevin Hogan Sunday, are now in the market for a backup QB.
