Kurt Benkert Virginia Draft Predictions

  • Grade
    • 5.7
  • Projected Round
    • Between the sixth and seventh rounds.
  • Best Value
    • To get maximum value for Kurt Benkert, a team should pick him in the sixth round. Again, he is a developmental quarterback that could develop into a mobile passer with a strong arm. It will take a few years to fully develop Benkert, which makes the sixth round best for him.
  • Probable Target for the Baltimore Ravens?
    • Maybe, it all depends on whether or not Ozzie Newsome or John Harbaugh sees Benkert as a quarterback worth developing. Benkert is very different compared to Joe Flacco, and may not fit the offense the team is trying to build
