Brock Purdy was headed for a monster year last season, screened by injury. If you map out his nine starts to a full season, we're looking at 4,093 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes. He was fifth in QB points per start, and this offense looks loaded again this year, especially if WR Mike Evans has something left in the tank... put a star next to Purdy's current QB14 price. It's a great year to be patient at this position.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's efficiency metrics and full-season projection support QB14 price as a star pick.

Purdy was third among NFL quarterbacks in adjusted EPA per play and first in success rate last season despite missing time with turf toe and sprained AC joint; if his nine starts are mapped to a full season, projections reach 4,093 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes, making him fifth in QB points per start. The source notes his current QB14 price is undervalued given the loaded 49ers offense and recommends putting a star next to his draft position as a patient late-round QB pick.
