Hank Bachmeier
Boise State Broncos
One-Liner:
A signal caller verse in the quick game, Bachmeier is an intermediate surgeon but lacks the consistency to stretch the field.
Evaluation:
Linear build with a lean but muscular physique. Throws the ball comfortably in all situations. His feet are never erratic, maintaining a sturdy base despite the chaos around him. Can manipulate his arm angles and adjust accordingly. Will read 1-2-3 in his progression and find the void when allocated time. The team consistently moves his launch angle, making the pocket mobile. Very tough player that came back hit after hit all season long despite his line play. Overall, his arm talent is unspectacular. Struggles to drive the ball and his overall location and accuracy are inconsistent. When his feet are set, the end result is better but often underwhelming. Throwing motion makes it seem he's putting his all into bubble screens or smoke routes. The offense is a lot of RPOs and quick game with some schemed-up deep shots that are more miss than hit. Weird tendency to struggle to catch the snap. Questionable pulls on RPOs and will cash checks his arm cant. Bachmeier has some tools to work with but needs polish in terms of his ball location and pocket awareness. His overall poise and quick game ability will be his calling card in the draft process.
Grade:
7th Round
Quotes:
"Bachmeier is a gutsy, gritty quarterback who fits the Boise State mantra and is must-watch TV every Saturday."
