Pulled this from the "Sam Bradford" thread in the NFL forum.

Look at this list...

Sam Bradford - Rams (1-1)

The Golden Calf of Bristol - Broncos (1-25)

Jimmy Clausen - Panthers (2-48)

Colt McCoy - Browns (3-85)

Mike Kafka - Eages (4-122)

John Skelton - Cardinals (5-155)

Jonathan Crompton - Chargers (5-168)

Rusty Smith - Titans (6-176)

Dan LeFevour - Bears (6-181)

Joe Webb - Vikings (6-199)

Tony Pike - Panthers (6-204)

Levi Brown - Bills (7-209)

Sean Canfield - Saints (7-239)

Zac Robinson - Patriots (7-250)

Good grief, that's awful :unsure:

Sad to say that in what might well be the worst quarterback draft in recent memory, we took two. And XClown pointed out to me that Armanti would make three, if you count him.

Now, while we aren't in the market for a QB this draft with any high round picks, a lower round pick could be an option. I'm wondering how people think this year's prospect list stacks up against the 2010 bunch.

This year's QB class will be better than that one, but there isn't a guy that is going to come in and dazzle right away, like the last couple of years of QBs have done. This year's class will need to either take a year to learn offensive schemes and defensive alignments, or, could just take a while to develop into a star level QB (like Flacco.)

But, if we were actually in this draft, there's no reason not to get one of the UDFA guys. With guys like Jordan Rodgers (Aaron's brother, Vanderbilt QB), Sean Renfree (Duke, learned from the same coach who helped develop Peyton Manning), or James Vandenberg (Iowa, learned under Kirk Ferentz), there are definitely guys who could be there after the draft that could come in and be a fantastic back-up for Cam, and who we could use to trade like the Eagles did with Kolb.

skelton probably turned out to be the best guy on that list... pretty sad

You could probably make an argument for Kafka, though he was in an Andy Reid system, so...

Regardless, being the best of this bunch is like being the prettiest girl on an East German Olympic Swim Team from the 70s.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
