Brady Cook put out very good film in 2023 but had a down year in 2024 so teams will need to decide which output is more important to them.

Brady Cook, QB

Brady Cook was a three-star pro-style quarterback coming out of St. Louis, Missouri, in the 2020 recruiting class. Cook had just four scholarship offers, and Missouri was his lone Power Five offer before he committed to them.

Strengths

Brady Cook is a QB prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.72 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 30 out of 1045 QB from 1987 to 2025.https://t.co/xg3a3oZjCe pic.twitter.com/lNPZAMdpdV

Weaknesses

Summary

Cook has the arm talent to make every throw but he also needs his surrounding factors to be ideal - he needs space to step into more difficult throws and he’ll struggle to consistently connect on the move.

If we’re trusting the 2023 film, late day three or UDFA would be a steal. If 2024 is his true talent, he won’t make it through the preseason.

GRADE: 5.8
