At the top of the second, Pike seems like a huge reach. He's a good, solid quarterback prospect with tools, and there's a lot to like about him, but he seems to profile as an NFL backup. I see a little bit of Tom Brady there, but for every instance that Brady got lucky enough to play early and develop into one of the better quarterbacks in NFL history (fulfilling all his potential), there were thirty or forty other possible routes that could have led to Brady being a career backup, or a worthless starter.
Pike could be an all-time great, I think, but I would not just take him in the second and hope nothing goes wrong on his development. He's nowhere near a finished product for a 23 year old, and that means career backup in about 85% of QB prospects.
