1. He’d have time to develop

Perhaps the best reason for drafting Jacob Eason is the fact that he wouldn’t be tasked with being the leader right away.

Instead, he would have an opportunity to learn under the greatest quarterback of all-time for the next two seasons. He would be able to learn the intricacies of the offense, pick the mind of Tom Brady, and be able to comfortably adjust to the next level.

Eason is not a prospect who is going to come in and start right away.

He’s not going to just set the NFL world on fire. He has flaws and there are certainly areas of his game that must get better.

Next. How the Bucs offense could look on Week 1. dark

But if you’re saying that he would have the opportunity to learn while sitting under Tom Brady, adjust to the NFL game and develop his natural skillset, then there’s no reason to believe he couldn’t develop into an elite QB a couple of seasons from now.
