Ryan Mallett's 'pass placement was awful'

SI.com draft analyst Tony Pauline believes that Ryan Mallett's 64.7 completion rate is not indicative of the Arkansas quarterback's accuracy.

"His pass placement was awful," observed Pauline, who believes Christian Ponder is a better prospect. "Ponder puts the ball where not only his receiver can catch it, but he hits them in stride." Mallett would seem to have a much higher ceiling of the two, but Ponder is the safer and more NFL-ready pick. Mallett is perhaps the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the draft. Mar 17, 11:46

Ponder is too injury prone IMO. He's a solid QB, but doesn't have much of an arm.

Chad Pennington if I had to make a comparison. That's not necessarily a bad thing as I think Pennington was pretty darn good when healthy, but I think we'll see Ponder also struggle to stay healthy and never really achieve his potential due to that.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
