He has some great tools but isn't on a very good team. Not the #1 overall I don't think but yeah, not a great draft class for the position.

Actually really like the way he throws the ball. Good mobility, arm strength. In a terrible situation.

NFL teams are going to have major background/character issues with Kelly. To summarize, he's a complete idiot and a horrible person. Drunk driving, fighting, issues with women, threatening terrorist actions.... you name it, Kelly has been busted for it. The final straw for Clemson booting him off the team was "he crossed the line with the coaching staff". God only knows what that really meant he did.
If you think I'm kidding with threatening a terrorist action, here you go: http://nypost.com/2014/12/22/jim-kellys-qb-nephew-threatened-to-shoot-up-buffalo-bar/

Brian Kelly or Chad Kelly? Ha
You don't just name yourself "Swag Kelly" without trying to back it up.
I think Kizer has all the tools, but needs to be groomed by someone other than his psychopath coach. I'm impressed watching him throw, but there's work to do on the mental side.

I lead, you follow.
Watson is a half field read wonder and rather undersized. Chad Kelly is a head case gunslinger minus the ability to make up for his mistakes and Kaaya... haven't watched enough of. This is not a strong class by any stretch.
Kizer the only one I like. Needs to show me more between the years but he throws a good ball, good velocity and solid touch. His accuracy isn't erratic but it's not elite either. Again, plenty more season to go to watch him.

What if that's what he's being coached to do, you can't fault him if that's their scheme, plus 6'3 225 is not undersized.

Officially he's 6'2 220. So he's probably 6'1 205 when wearing a weight belt and cleats.
I'd be more concerned with his play and the system. He looks like a prototypical shifty and fast college qb that benefits by playing a lot of teams that don't do well with contain and corners that can't keep up with their recievers while he's running around creating time. Very few college qbs that play like Watson are successful at the next level. Defenses in the NFL are so much better and faster and don't let you do that kind of shit.

Yeah...this class is pretty terrible, honestly. Bunch of mediocre prospects including the top one (Kizer).

2018 QB class blows this one out of the water.

I don't think so. I've never seen JTB regarded as a top prospect wrt the NFL. That's not to say he won't go, but I've never seen much indication that he will.
