So was reading Kipers top players at each position today and surprisingly he has Skylar as the 9th best QB prospect. I figured he would have no shot as he seemingly has lost velocity on his throws since his injuries and of course the injury history will scare teams off too.
I imagine he'll get a FA spot but if teams agree with Kiper and have him as roughly the 9th best QB that would have him drafted somewhere between rounds 4-7 in most years. Last year the 9th QB taken was Ian Book in round 4 to New Orleans, 2020 was Jake Lutton to Jacksonville in round 6 and 2019 was Clayton Thorson in round 6 to the Eagles (one pick after Easton Stick). Also he does not have Purdy listed in his top 10, just found that interesting. Also while I only checked the past roughly 5 years the lowest number of QB's taken in a draft I found was 10 so seems like Thompson might have at least an above average shot at being taken.
