If you would like to follow @gregcosell He's tweeting up a storm. He watches tons of films and comes up with some good insight. I'll copy pasta some for the internet challenged but he's putting out tons of info right now.

I've seen Cousins compared to Dalton. Dalton managed + manipulated by scheme but also threw with great anticipation, especially in red zone

Decision making (both pre + post snap), timing, anticipation, pocket movement, ball location can all compensate for some passing limitations

Often QB discussion revolves around what can be coached, + what can't. System critical for QBs with passing limitations. Still can succeed.

Another thought on Cousins. What I didn't see was refined pocket movement. Often drifted into pressure + increased difficulty of throws.

Cousins has sparked lot of debate. Didn't see efficiency I expected. Could drive ball better with slight change in footwork at top of drop.

I always try to remember atching college players tha a lot of guys play in the NFL + contribute. Not black + white, polarizing evaluations.

More Cousins. Tendency to drift back in response to pressure. Bad habit that must end. Would need to be highly managed by scheme.

Watched 5 gms of Cousins. Disappointed. Saw limited passer w/average arm strength. Needed functional space to throw. Plant + throw passer.

RB Poole. Liked film.Tough inside for his size. Pressed hole, cut decisively. Got skinny thru small cracks. Laterally quick. Natural wiggle.

WVU Irvin a quick accelerator. Exploded off edge. Excellent closing speed. Reminded me of Colts Mathis at times. Movement to play 3-4 OLB.

Film gave little sense of how WR Hill will transition. No routes, straight line running. Tall high cut strider with limited lateral movement

Maybe on reason you don't see true "5 techs" coming into NFL is college teams rarely play 3-4 base fronts. Always a projection with a player

Curry interesting watch. Not a get low, bend the edge rusher. More of speed to power rusher. Strong + active hands, deceptive closing speed.

A lot of questions about best "5 technique" in 3-4. League moving away from pure 3-4 fronts with "5 techs". A lot more 1 gap concepts.

Branch will be seen by many as 3-4 OLB. Not sure he has flexibility + movement skills unless primarily a pass rusher. Sub-package player?Branch does not have explosion + flexibility of pure edge rusher. More straight line with long arms + leverage. 4-3 rush DE or 3-4 OLB?

Overall with this WR class it will be very important which teams draft them. Specific skill sets that must be recognized + maximized.Asked about Kirkpatrick. Not sure why people talk about move to S. Skill set to be quality corner. Needs technique work but can be coached.Cox far more versatile than Poe. Cox "3 tech", can rush QB from inside. Also aligned at DE at MSU + showed quicks + burst as edge rusher.

RE: Poe. Always a debate among scouts/coaches re: physical/athletic skill set v. college production. No right answer.RE: DT Poe. Outstanding skill set: Size, athleticism, quickness, burst for a 350 lb man. Concern was lack of production. Won't impact draft.

Great point made re: slot receivers. Different shapes + sizes based on team. But overall point is they are important, not afterthoughts.

some of the more interesting stuf...

Asked about DT. Really like Cox. Natural athleticism + movement. Balance + flexibility to rush QB. Great scheme versatility. Played DT/DE.

Coples been compared to M. Williams. Physical skill set similar coming out of college. Not as athletic as Peppers. Can he become pass rusher

Coples at times flashed strong hands + natural power. Much more of power/strength profile. Effective as inside pass rusher in sub-packages

Coples will be polaring in draft rooms. Power/leverage rusher more than speed/quickness rusher. Didn't have flexibility of edge rusher.

Kept watching LSU Brockers. More + more games. A project. A player who will be drafted based on what he might become not what he is now.

Like CB Gilmore. Need to see more. Quick feet, fluid hips, smooth change of direction. Aggressive + challenging in off coverage + press man.

I'd rather take Cox than Poe. 14.5 TFL, 5 sacks and 1st team All-SEC or 8 TFL, 1 sack and 2nd team All-CUSA. That being said, I would prefer Coples based on his ability to change positions and his measurables.

      Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

      By 45catfan · Posted

      @ForJimmy--I watched his '24 highlights and there's a lot to like.  He's mobile, for certain, but it seems that's his default because he's so good at it.  Lots of RPO stuff.  He's slippery in the pocket, but too quick to vacate it.  I saw very few pocket throws into tight windows, which is the hallmark of an elite QB, especially at the next level.  Green is a playmaker, there's no denying that.  I thought his arm was adequate to above average.  I assumed a big QB like that would have a cannon.  Ball placement was also above average. He's an intriguing prospect, but I'm not sure he's going to end up a top 10 prospect and that's where we are most certainly going to be picking.  If Sellers doesn't come out, he's probably the next best dual threat QB.

      I was right there with you. I hoped for the best and tried to support once he was drafted. But the media created legend of Bryce Young the draft prospect was honestly like nothing I've ever seen. For a kid who didn't even play all that particularly great for Alabama (Mac Jones was the better college QB and it really wasn't close) he received an insane level of benefit of the doubt. From his supposed elite football IQ elite processing elite preparation elite field general abilities elite leadership yada yada the guy could do absolutely no wrong. Even when he showed up to the combine and hid out in a hoodie refusing to throw nobody batted an eye. And even after that he was still compared to current and past hall of famers in the NFL and other sports across the spectrum. If he didn't play for Saban and Alabama it would have been and would be right now completely different in the way he was and is perceived. But again. I've never seen anything like it for other prospects that I can think of in recent memory. Others have been dissected in some way or another. Maybe the only other comparison I would make would be Andrew Luck. But Luck had the necessary physical intangibles that Bryce Young very plainly lacked when you sit down and watch the tape. It was crazy then and it is still crazy now. 🤷‍♂️

      Yeah I didn’t remember how many guys were on offense besides him that were taken but did figure he was facing one, maybe two guys that would be drafted from whatever defense it he was playing. Then the out of conference games against smaller schools that are basically exhibitions, sheesh, you know they can feast.    The other thing is, out of those 62, how many really had NFL bodies at that point? Few of them. Most will be different players after a year of NFL training and body development. So you have to think about what the difference is. Even with the SEC guys that got taken, they will be better in the pros too. So when you factor all that in, and look at the Bryce tape and the Bryce pro day and whatever, I just will never understand why.
