Bottom Line on Andrew Luck:

Andrew Luck has all the tools and intangibles to eventually develop into an elite NFL quarterback. He comes out of former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh's pro-style system, which makes him an even more attractive prospect because the transition to the NFL should be made a little smoother because of that experience. If there is a major weakness in his game, I've yet to see it.

Projection: With his combination of size, skills, and intelligence, Luck should be the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
