Strengths
Kyle does a good job of creating plays. He is at his best when he is rolling out, and able to use his feet to create throwing lanes. This is also often when he is able to stay the cleanest. He is an above average athlete and isnt afraid to tuck and run. He throws a nice back shoulder, and can operate a quick west coast system
Weaknesses
Lauletta doesn’t have the strongest arm, which can get him into trouble. When he goes deep its more of a launch motion that a smooth stroke. Ball tends to hang in the air which leads to turnovers. He occasionally will feel pressure that isn’t there and will look to bail out of the pocket.
Big Picture
Lauletta had a great Senior Bowl week. It put him more into the eyes of scouts and proved that he could fit in with higher level talent. Lauletta is a solid athlete and is able to create plays out of nothing. He also is tougher to bring down than one would think. He is a true alpha, and teammates love him as a leader. Lauletta was a 2 year captain and started 25 games straight. Arm strength will be a problem, and he will have to learn how to throw with more anticipation. Lauletta is an interesting developmental QB, who has some nice traits. Could work his way into late day 2, early day 3 consideration.
