Very fair assesment. Just remember, most of these guys will have warts, (unless it is Luck or Griffin), and sometimes it might be worth the reach.
Here are my thoughts, as I have watched quite a bit of him both this season and last season.
- Very smart with the football - rarely will you see him make one of those "What the hell was he thinking" throws ala Fitzpatrick.
- Tough as nails
- Can make all of the throws but agree that his touch could be better
However, I think we should seriously consider him at 8, and here is why. He can step in and play right away, as he has played in this offense for four years. There is enough talent on defense to be competitive right away, and for a team that hasn't been to the playoffs in 13 years, if you have a chance to plug a guy in right away and he is an immediate upgrade over the garbage QBs that we have (or have had over the last several years) you take it. There is no guarantee that he will be there in the second round and there is not another QB, other than Tyler Wilson, that I think can start right away.
P.S. If one more person suggests Tyler Bray I will lose it. He will be a HUGE bust!
