Now my only QB scenarios in this draft are a late round shot in the dark or a trade down for more higher picks. Thoughts? Anyone heard of this guy?

He'll be gone in the mid rounds. Good project QB with upside.

I know people at Boise State hate his guts

Pretty much the same feeling as other prospects.

In a different year, with a different situation, I'd probably be on board.

The way things are now, I'm only interested in veteran QBs. Don't want any ut of the draft.

Unfortunately he's a project that needs to develop into an NFL system and we can't do that. The guy is making all the throws at the senior bowl but he's coming out of the Pistol Offense so he needs to sit at least a year behind a vet with a coaching staff that can mold him into an NFL QB.

The guy is shaping up to be a great prospect and I don't see him dropping out of the 2nd round.

I'm interested in a vet (Bulger, Volek), but with Clausen here still and Pike probably going to the practice squad why not take a shot if a Kaepernick, McElroy, & Dalton type is available in the 4th-5th rounds. You never know where you find those diamonds in the rough and I'm thinking a QB in this draft will in fact be one. This is a given considering the amount of quarterbacks entering the draft without really a top looking guy at the moment.

I mean Bulger himslef was the 168th player picked in his draft.

NOOOO, do not take a project. Wait next year and see if we have a shot at Barkley or Luck if not we can take a project next year. Get a FA this year *cough* Vince Young *cough*
