NIC SHIMONEK, Texas Tech (6-foot-3, 225 pounds)

Projected Round: 5-7

Nic Shinmonek is an intriguing prospect who could hear his name called on day three of the NFL Draft. His high completion percentage and touchdown to interception ratio are impressive and he has only helped his chances during the all-star game season.

"Shimonek was the Red Raiders’ replacement for Pat Mahomes in 2017, and Shimonek had a quality year beating up on a conference that lacks defense. In 2017, he completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,963 yards with 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Some sources feel that Shimonek has arm talent and is an interesting prospect for the NFL. Shimonek was the best quarterback prospect at the East-West Shrine and looked worthy of a late-round selection. He had a solid week of practice in St. Petersburg, and one general manager told me that Shimonek was by far his favorite quarterback there."
