Jim Sonnis' Quarterback Evaluation Model
A key focus of the discussion is Jim Sonnis' quarterback prospecting model, which comprises both pre-draft and post-draft evaluations. The pre-draft model emphasizes players' age, experience, and efficiency, deliberately excluding draft capital to better assess talent. This model has demonstrated a correlation between high rankings and future success, with first-round picks who rank in the top 10 of the model having a significantly higher success rate. Successful quarterbacks often possess a combination of being young, efficient, and experienced, with few prospects checking all three boxes.
