The gap
- Board size316 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Drew Lock, and the board ranks him 116th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Fagnano, and the board ranks him 228th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Drew Lock's market-based projection is 15.2 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 12 market sources. That is the 41st highest figure of the 232 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Joe Fagnano is 8.9 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 14 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Joe Fagnano's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season so far
Through Week 2, Drew Lock has been on the field for 96 percent of SEA snaps, dropped back 51 times and thrown 7.6 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 8 of 51 dropbacks and scrambled 1 time.

Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Drew Lock played 5 games and scored 0.1 PPR points, 0.0 a game, finishing QB73.
