2013 NFL Draft thread - ( Early Entrees, Mocks, Combine etc )

[gunna get it]

I understand that this is the 2013 draft, but one simple question.

Is Teddy Bridgewater the goods?

He's not Geno Smith.

He's good.

 

[thejet]

He's not Geno Smith.

He's good.

thanks.

I guess we'll see this year if he can maintain that draft stock

John Clayton seems to believe that the starting quarterback for the Cardinals next year will be Matt Barkley.

lmao nothing wrong with that

 

[gatorb807]

Good luck with that Cardinals.

Barkley is the right handed version of Matt Leinart.

 

[young thundercat]

Barkley arm is 10 times strong then Matt's, plus I don't see him trying to live that Hollywood life Matt was.

60 for 64

Whos got the better hands between Bailey and Austin?

i hope he gets that money but wasn't alex smith 62-62?

also who can forget todd  mcshay's greatest moment

"I can't remember being in such awe of a quarterback in my decade of attending combines and pro days. Russell's passing session was the most impressive of all the pro days I've been to. His footwork for such a big quarterback was surprising. He was nimble in his dropbacks, rolling out and throwing on the run. The ball just explodes out of his hands."

^ Everyone was saying that though, so whatever. He duped many teams, I'm sure.

Bottom line to me is that these vs. air pro days for QB's are pretty much just a formality. Everyone probably realizes that gameday tempo and going against an 11-man defense is much much different than this.

Fluidity of movement and mechanics are probably the biggest takeaways, but again...That can all change under heat. See Blaine Gabbert, among others.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Gabbert threw accurately and moved with smooth athleticism in a well-reviewed, 25-minute pro day workout on Thursday at the University of Missouri. If the No. 1 Panthers want to take a quarterback, they now must put Gabbert and Auburn's Cam Newton side by side and choose the one they feel has the most potential to be a clear-cut franchise passer.

Gabbert turned some heads here and won himself some believers among those who wondered if he could make the transition to playing quarterback under center after starring in the spread offense in his two years of starting duty at Missouri. Starting all 64 of his pass plays by taking a center snap, Gabbert looked fluid and comfortable throughout his drills, and his accuracy never suffered no matter if he threw on the move or after setting up in the pocket.

"He's my No. 1 quarterback, and to me he's the one quarterback in the draft who, if you've got to bang the table for a franchise quarterback, he's the guy,'' NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said after Gabbert's workout. "The kid confirmed everything you want to see in a franchise quarterback. I thought he did as good as he could have. His footwork was real clean. His arm was real accurate, and his arm strength was great.''

You also get a better evaluation of the QB's arm strength

 

[young thundercat]

Erroneous

[cash money 1999]

i know big 10 running backs tend to suck , but this dude could be the exception

inb4 laurence maroney or rashard mendenhall

someone else i think is gonna be a good pro

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Ball gets to run through holes that are 8 miles wide, sheesh

his 2011 line was bigger than most nfl teams lmao

but his vision is underrated in my opinion , he reads blocks easily

he can be a 1,000 back in the right scheme next year

 

[theone2401]

he can be a 1,000 back in the right scheme next year

(Mike Shanahan) Ill take him in the 7th (Mike Shanahan)

In other words all you are saying is Ball is an average back which is exactly what Dre is saying.

Montee Ball's are a dime a dozen. There is no back in the NFL who wont produce decently if they can get to the line untouched and get carries. People drafting RB's gotta aim a little higher especially if you aren't dynamic in the passing game.

Problem with him is he runs like a speed back but has the speed of power back ..

Tampa Bay giving lots of attention to Xavier Rhodes @ FSU's pro day today. Buffalo giving lots of attention to EJ Manuel. EJ will have a private workout for Buffalo on Monday

Bengals looking at Vince Williams. Info on him Dre?
