In some cases it can also tip off the safety and lead to a pick. Colt on the other hand has a case of see window hit window, which should help him at the NFL level.
The sidearm release worries me a little though, but hopefully Z-Man can do with Brennan what the Texans failed to do with another sidearm QB in Carr.

His release I believe will have to be corrected to many balls will be batted down in the NFL if he doesn't.
Nobody is bashing the pick because we didn't move into the second round to pick him, this is a very low risk, extremely high reward pick great job getting a [what I believe] top flight NFL punter, and a backup QB with future starter potential that late in the draft!
