  1. watch Jimmy jump real high! Claussen = Losman
  2. no, injuries are not an issue for Brohm - he is a physical qb and resembles JK very much in size and throwing motion, etc. I point that out, because the author notes Brohm's strong arm. Brohm ran a pro set in college, has all the physical tools, has been a stud qb his entire life - he will revert to form in Buffalo. he is a pocket passer who needs protection (just like manning, brady, etc!) It is prudent to get a vet in to compete with Brohm, Fitz but start Brohm - in 2 years, this team could be very good with the young nucleus.
  3. to be fair, here is the anti-brohm argument - the author points out what I saw of Brohm - the pro-typcial size and arm strength; yeah he got hurt but like the author noted, he has gotten 2 years to learn, so now is his time to shine b/c he is a natural qb - watch it happen! http://warroomreport.com/index.php?option=...mp;Itemid=1SELL - NOT WORTH A ROUND 1 PICK By Wesley Blood At first glance, Brian Brohm looks like an NFL ready prospect, his 6-4, 225 pound frame entices scouts, his arm is excellent, he can make every throw, and he is mobile enough to avoid the pass rush. But what really scares scouts is his durability. He tore his ACL during his sophomore year and this past year he was injured twice, requiring surgery on his left shoulder and tearing ligaments in his thumb. When I was first asked if Brian Brohm is worth a first round pick, I had to ask myself if it was for the 2007 or 2008 NFL draft. In 2007 the answer would have most definitely been yes. In fact many people probably would’ve said he would go at number 8 to the Falcons to reunite with his old Louisville coach Bobby Petrino. But since the year is in fact 2008, and seeing the regression Brohm had last year without Petrino, I tend to lean toward him not being worth a first round pick. Whether the injuries were just too much to overcome, or whether in fact he did struggle without Petrino remains to be seen. But before any franchise spends millions in guaranteed money they need to look at the history of this kid. ACL injuries aren’t as serious as they once were and especially with Brohm playing quarterback they are even less serious, but once you tend to have thumb and shoulder concerns that’s when eyes open wide and scouts think twice about spending a top pick on a oft injured quarterback. Can Brohm eventually become a quality quarterback in the NFL? Possibly. Can he become a quality NFL quarterback in his first couple seasons? The answer is no. Given the right team and the right situation Brohm has all of the necessary skills and the physical attributes to lead an NFL team. Being a first round pick actually may be more of a burden than a blessing for Brohm in the long run. If he stays out of the first round and out of the limelight for one, maybe two years and sits back and takes notes, he would be drastically better and also would make people forget about all of those injuries he accumulated in college. However if he does get drafted in the first round, especially for a lower tier franchise the fans may be calling upon him to lead them a little too early. The pressure will mount, and who knows, he might even get injured in the process.
  4. yes - he is a pro-typical pocket passer! not a guy running an option spread! give him a wall and he will excell; also, I've never known a question re his arm strength. further, I don't need mobile, are the mannings mobile?, rivers?, brady?, warner?, kelly? marino?
  5. ditto - we have young talent; develop it already! Brohm, Wood, Levitre, Byrd, Nelson, Harris - draft studs next two years and we'll be ok. McNabb = Bledsoe = short term 8-8, long term fail.
  6. I guess I don't understand this idea that the team is going after a mobile qb (vick) Gailey was a college coach and that's the college game - completely different than the pro-game. mobile = gimmick = fail give me a pocket passer and a strong offensive line - Are the Mannings mobile? is Brady mobile? Rivers? Warner? etc, etc?? sure get Seneca Wallace - great idea!! maybe we can trick everyone by running a no-huddle?
  7. dont want a wr at 2 rd- this mock doesn't factor a move to 3-4. interesting that Cody is available a few spots ahead in rd 2. wouldn't mind - McClain (1) Cody (2)
  8. yes...two years from now we are going to do ok...
  9. I really, really do not think the bills will take this guy. think about it rationally, he does not possess the arm Nix wants; the bills have other pressing needs and are moving to a 3-4 defense and thus will have to address dline and lb personnel. don't get your hopes up. they'll likely bring in a vet to compete with Brohm and Fitzgerald - Nix wont take a weak armed project in deference to addressing other personnel needs. think about it rationally
  10. I seriously doubt Bills draft Lefevour. He does not possess the Nix approved QB attributes; moreover, the move to a 3-4 almost ensures a heavy concentration on dline and lbs in the draft. Don't get your hopes up too high
  11. the #9 pick must start and make an immediate impact! take whichever LT, DT, or LB meets that criteria - apply same threshold test in rounds 2-4. draft projects 5+
  12. Maybin could be used as Byrce Paup type?? although, I liked Paup more than I like Maybin at this point. Nelson could/should be 10 year starter at tight end
  13. Wood moves to center; thus Levitre Wood Incognito = solid, mean interior line (refreshing!)
