Man if anything about Mallett's character concerns are true I don't want to touch him in any round of this draft. =|

edit: as a note, and take this for the rumor it is, some have claimed Mallett is addicted to coke, has had falling outs with coaches, and he's supposedly not got very high football smarts. but, he is a leader on the field at least, and god can he make some amazing throws.

if that above stuff wasn't true then yeah, I'd take him in the third. He's like the antithesis of Clausen... he couldn't scramble away from pressure if he wanted to, so he's have to get the ball out!

I just can't figure out Mallett. When you see him play and look at his stats, he looks like an NFL QB. And yet, nearly every draft outlet says that they won't touch him because of off the field issues. Never an explanation of what issues he "has." But with this much concensus, it is hard to think there is not something to these reports.

I know walterfootball writer thinks he is a idiot and will be Ryan Leaf 2.0.

They say watch out for his wonderlic score.

It does seem that people are starting to come forward with his perceived issues. If they are true (Cokehead, Low Football IQ) its a shame that such a talent may go to waste.

Mallet has talent, but I don't see us investing more picks on QB's this year unless another Clausen situation arises where someone is sitting out there that's so much higher on our board than anyone else, that we take them out of principal.

I agree. With Clausen or Pike already here unless folks thought he would be a distinct upgrade, it wouldn't make sense to draft him in the third.

JOAT.... What is a Pat Devlin?

Carolina Panthers: Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware

Even if he brings in Billy Volek, Ron Rivera may want to draft a young signal-caller. I couldn't really blame him after watching Jimmy Clausen struggle last year. Besides, Pat Devlin is way too good to pass up this late.

I really liked what I saw out of Devlin in two playoff games against New Hampshire and Eastern Washington. He has a good arm and was pretty accurate with his throws. He also has a quick release. The big issue is that he holds on to the football too long, but that's something that can be fixed with proper coaching.

Pick change; previously Orlando Franklin, G

Can you say Todd Marinovich?

See, this is the wisdom of the Armanti Edwards pick. Without a second, we won't be able to grab a QB who was supposed to go in the first two years in a row.

And Mallett can throw the ball hard, but he has some amazing receivers too. A lot of QBs would look good under center in Arkansas.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
