The 2016 NFL Draft kicks off in just about a month and that means very soon fans of the Kansas City Chiefs will get a new crop of players added to their favorite team. A lot of attention is paid to potential first round draft picks this time of year but if a team can find a quality player in the mid to late rounds it can be even more valuable since those players come with such a low price tag.

Nowhere is that more true than the quarterback position. If a team can find a future starter in the middle rounds it is the most valuable pick a team can possibly make. So is there a potential steal at the quarterback position in this 2016 draft class? Depending on who you listen to that quarterback just might be Vernon Adams from Oregon.

If you only take a superficial look at Adams its easy to write him off as another undersized mobile college quarterback who benefited from a system that doesn’t translate well to the NFL. We’ll get to his actual scouting report in a minute but that’s really what has most writing off Vernon Adams. He’s only 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds.

You add to that the fact that Adams is a mobile quarterback that played in Oregon’s spread system and has had some injury issues in his one season at Oregon (after transferring from Eastern Washington) and most people are ready to move on to the next quarterback prospect. After actually watching several of Adams’ games I believe that would be a mistake.
