Graded Quarterback Traits:

• Accuracy: 5/10 (Untouched, in a clean pocket he  is very accurate. Under any sort of pressure and it goes down significantly)
• Anticipation: 4/10 (This is a big area of improvement needed as well. He is consistent on crossers in the middle of the field, but throws to the boundary or on go routes seem to always be behind)
• Arm Strength: 6/10 (He can make the throws, but he also does not have an elite arm by any means)
• Mechanics: 6/10 (His motion is pretty smooth, but it looks very high effort at times and, again, under pressure its not pretty)
• Mobility: 6/10 (For a player with almost no rushing numbers on paper he seems like a decent athlete who could improve here)
• Pocket Presence: 4/10 (He has an idea of when to roll out, but he does not do well with avoiding pressure and maneuvering around including stepping up when needed)
• Poise: 3/10 (It was on full display at the Senior Bowl. When he has pressure in his face or is blitzed he is a completely different version of himself. He panics and makes bad throws or throws it away with wide open checkdowns in front of him.)
• Progressions: 7/10 (He is not bad at getting through the reads and makes decisions fairly quickly)

Prospect Grade: 41/80; 51% (Backup Potential)

Projected Draft Day: 3

Player Comparison: Jake Luton

Player Summary:

We know Haener won MVP at the Senior Bowl, but he was helped out a ton by Michael Wilson (who probably should have won instead). His issues throughout the season came through in the game. In a clean pocket, he is a fine quarterback, but under duress and he falls apart in so many areas. He can hang around and develop as a backup, but we do not see how he ever reaches starter status.
