Quotable:

RESUME: Lock was a four-year Missouri starter. It was therefore natural that the Tigers' offensive looks like an RPO-type attack with an emphasis on optional routes. She spent two years (2016-17) under the tutelage of Josh Heupel and one season (2018). ) with offensive coordinator Derek Dooley. He finished his career finishing second in SEC history in passing yards (12,193) and third in touchdown passes (99). Very similar to Derek Carr who comes out of Fresno State, Lock is a classic arm thrower who stubbornly believes that every shot is there, but who is still looking for how to use his eyes and replenish his timing. He showed an expanded vision as a senior and seemed to eliminate things faster at mid-reading. Overall, Lock has a live arm and the makeup to become an NFL starter, but he needs to continue to develop his precision, mechanics and decision-making to live up to his intriguing potential.

How does Drew Lock agree with the Denver Broncos in the future:

Lock fits into the Broncos quarterback behind veteran Joe Flacco, who is totally rooted in the role of starter. This will allow Lock to grow behind Flacco without having to play immediately.

The offensive coordinator of the Broncos, Rich Scangarello, will be in charge of developing Lock. He is best known for his development of Nick Mullens. Now he will have the high-armed gun from Drew Lock to develop. Here's what Lock had to say about his interactions with Scangarello before the draft.

"Yes, we talked about a lot of things at our meeting. I've installed some plays, discussed part of my movie, discussed some of, I guess our movie is now. We talked a bit about the Denver Bronco movie. He pointed out a little thing here and there. One of the great things I know I need to work on is left-wing deployment. All quarters can roll right and throw. I sometimes do a little unorthodox thing when I go to the left, and we will focus on that and do it right. You have to get out of the pocket. You have to do plays, and that's one of the main things we talked about. For that he could tell me something at the beginning of this meeting, allowing me to work on it now before I become a Bronco, I think it was huge. That was one of the reasons I felt good coming out of the meeting. Many of these teams will tell you about your movie and review a play, without necessarily criticizing you and telling you what you need to improve. You must ask them that. It was just the different atmosphere that I had here. Everything was played and he had these tips for me, which made me think that it could be a house in the future. Now, I'm standing here in Denver Bronco. "

With Scangarello developing Lock and probably developing an offensive system that matches his strengths, I think we could quickly see positive results. Lock seems to want to be good, has the intelligence to do it, as well as the necessary work ethic. I really like this wedding.

Lock is the quarterback of the Broncos of the future, but he still needs a lot of work. We, the fans, must be patient with him and trust the teachings of Scangarello.
