If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.

I get your point about pro-style vs. spread and agree. What I consider pro-style would be ND (w/Weis), Stanford, USC, etc. I view their passing games as more advanced/elaborate. Ohio St., Wisconsin, LSU, they're more smack you in the mouth and beat you over the top with a blazing WR off play-action.

Your top level QBs in college may have a bad game here or there, but generally not 3 out of 12 in a season. Normally with the guys that transition successfully to the NFL may not light up the scoreboard against a top flight D, but their numbers aren't consistently bad against those teams either.

You make no mention of his physical skillset and that is a major factor in how QB prospects are judged.

I'm not into the prediction business so I'm not gonna guess wether Pryor develops or not.
But, Pryor does have an NFL skillset, and if you could get him for a 6th round pick , which isn't considered much different then an UDFA then that would be great value in my book.

No question he's a tremendous athlete with great size, but I don't think he'll transition to the QB spot in the NFL. I do agree with you on the 6th rounder though, if that's all it takes, why not.

The question the OP didn't ask is: would Pryor be a fit for Kyle's offense? The answer to that question imo is no

agree
