Ozymandius Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm just shocked that he's white. I would've laid 10 to 1 that Levi Brown from Troy was a black kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 He's raw, but he sure outplayed LeFevour in the GMAC Bowl. Good arm, but it's a long way from the Sun Belt to the NFL. Still, you could do worse -- I'll take Brown over Crompton, LeFevour, Jarrett Brown, etc. I really wanted LeFevour but the more I hear about him the more I like him. Weak Elton, weak. Which ESPN are you watching? Todd McShay called him the 6th best QB on his board, and Jaws is raving about him. It's a joke. Calling a 7th rounder a reach is funny. Some of the tape on Brown reminds me of JP...just sayin... If JP had been a 7th rounder people would have been pulling for him rather than hating him. JMO hehe.....you typed rooster What do you expect. He's probably half cocked by now. Levi Brown QB, Troy War Room analysis Strengths: Is a solidly built QB with very good athleticism, which helped him to make big plays with his feet and arm. Has a compact and quick throwing motion, which enables him to consistently set-up and get rid of the ball fast. Has a shockingly strong arm. Shows he has arm strength by making 10-plus-yard throws without just a flick of the wrist when a pass rusher is bearing down on him. Does a good job of stepping up to avoid the wide rush and has learned the important lesson of throwing the ball away to avoid the sack. Can hit the 15-plus-yard skinny post route right on the money with a defender in his face. Does not force passes or try to squeeze them into tight spots and does not stare down his receiver. His ability to get rid of the ball very quickly helps him to get the ball to the receiver before the defender can react to make a play on it. Weaknesses: Has a throwing motion that is almost so short that it looks like he cannot get zip on his throws because the ball does not explode out of his hand, but it still gets to the receiver. Are times where he is so aware of not forcing a bad pass against pressure that he will take more sacks than he needs to. Must do a much better job putting zip on deep passes because he tends to put more air than he needs to on them. Does not sense the rusher closing on him while in the pocket, and takes some hard hits, which puts him at a real risk of fumbling. Bottom line: Our first exposure to Brown was during practice at the Texas Versus The Nation Game, and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement because he looked uncomfortable dropping back from under center, which led to bad footwork and inconsistent accuracy throughout the week. However, in the first game we evaluated versus Central Michigan, he jumped off the film with his ability to make excellent throws on all types off passes and to make key throws on important downs. Brown started his college career at Richmond and transferred to Troy University where he flourished in their wide-open spread passing attack. However, he is going to have to prove he can function playing under center. We are always hesitant to give a high grade to quarterbacks who play in a spread passing attack because for them to be successful they must learn a number of new skills. However, unlike many spread quarterbacks (Tim Tebow and Dan LeFevour) Brown has a very compact throwing motion and gets rid of the ball very quickly, which puts him ahead of both of those quarterbacks. He will need time to develop in an NFL offense, but we believe he has the talent to become a quality starting quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Jim Miller was just talking up the Brown pick, said the Bills liked Lafaver (sp), but ended up with their second choice. Big measurables, Gailey might be able to do some special things with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibran Chandan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 With the audio on that clip, I kind of feel for the guy like we found our gem, our diamond in the rough...haha And without the audio, he looks terrible. Get Gibran back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I believe Brown is an excellent pick here. He is big, strong arm, reasonable interception total.Obviously green.But Gailey is supposed to be a developer of quarterbacks and here he's got someone with the physical tools. I would have rather had Lefevour because he can run with the football. But I think that Brown was as good as any of the day three options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintyfresh85 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I like it. Although I would have preferred Pike a bit more. I wish Brown well! Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is the guy the Bills have been looking at for a couple months. YES he is better than Edwards at least. Maybe now we can cut the kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fires Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Kids worth a shot. I like his size. Fox Sports website had him going in the 5th on one of their mocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symbiant Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I think Nix likes the QBs he drafts to have above average Wonderlic scores. (Brees, Rivers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 who the hell is he? Camp fodder? Yup. Who was the last QB picked in the 7th round to do anything? Unitas? I doubt he'll get a serious look in training camp with three other QBs competing for a starting position. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I saw him against Ohio State and he looked scared. He made very poor decisions even when he wasnt rushed. However he was able to survey the field and get rid of the ball quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockport Bills Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I like this pick. The Bills have nothing to lose by taking a flier on a 7th round QB. I wish the kid well and I hope he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 How is anything a reach in the 7th round? I mean really, someone would be devastated we lost a 7th round pick when we should have signed someone as an UDFA? I thought he'd have been picked earlier too so...
