QB Joe Fagnano headed to the East-West Shrine Bowl (1/27/26 Frisco, Texas)

[DoctorWho85]

I do not think any team will put a flyer out by drafting him. There are probably a few teams that have an eye on him as an UDFA and he will be invited to a camp. From there, foot (or arm) in the door.

6th to UDFA currently. But if he has a stell combine (in invited) performance he'll push him self to the mid rounds

 

[Windham4th]

UDFA is my guess

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Still has a Pro Day. He can impress there like a Tyler Davis did at Georgia Tech...

 

[Palatine]

QBs tend to be over drafted. As the saying goes it only take one team to like you. He still has opportunities to impress. His strength is processing speed and that is difficult to access.

New England could use someone like that as the backup. Clipboard holder future QB.

 

[uconnbill]

he has a change if he preforms well at the Combine and then he can get drafted in the 6th or 7th round

If he noy playing in Uconn's game due to th epossobility of injury does it make sense to play in this game? Wouldn't he be more susceptible to injury playing with players (especially the offensive lien) who have not played together and maybe have a couple of practices before this game?

It's a crap move unless those bowl games are intended to be auditions for the draft.

I think he gets drafted. Somewhere between rounds 5-7. He sees the field and goes through his progressions well. You don't throw 5 picks over the course of 2 years at the FBS level unless you know how to read the defense, regardless of the teams you're facing. I don't think NFL scouts are overly concerned he wasn't consistently playing against P4 competition because he performed well when he did play those teams. He has decent size and his arm strength is passable. You could do worse than Fagnano for a backup QB

I don't think he gets drafted. It's a crap draft for QBs and Joe isn't in top five. He will get signed as an FA. And he's got the kind of brain that could keep him in the league for a decade or more.

If it's a crap draft for QBs, shouldn't that make him more likely to be drafted?

His ball protection is elite. In 3 years at UConn, 6 picks.

In 4 years at Maine, 12 picks.

Dude threw 1394 college passes and was intercepted only 18 times with a TD/INT ratio of 93/18.

This is a dart you throw at the board in the draft, IMHO.

Won’t he be 26 on draft weekend? Not sure teams are drafting 26 yo backup qbs, but when u get to round 7 the math changes to can I get this guy as a UDFA or do I spend a pick, so he could go there

Tyler Sough was 25 when drafted to be a starter. Generally agree that he will be a UDFA which when you get to the later rounds is generally better for the player. But there is certainly a chance he gets drafted.
