LancasterSteve Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Here are the scores for a few players as we approach the draft http://www.faniq.com/blog/2009-NFL-Wonderl...sses-Blog-20999 It will be interesting to see if low,low scores will affect where some of these players are drafted. Four years of college and only scoring a 15; what a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four years of college and only scoring a 15; what a shame. The all time low is a 4 by Darren Davis, a running back from Iowa State who scored a 4. He graduated college!! Man, Iowa State takes their football program very seriously. Linkage Former Giants defensive end speaks to CSN students about life Written by NaplesNews.com Wednesday, 05 March 2008 While starting his non-profit Game Plan Foundation, which assists retired NFL players, Leonard Marshall made a startling discovery: Despite making millions of dollars in the league, some of the former players, Marshall found, are functionally illiterate. And people wonder why a lot of NFL players expect things to be handed to them and to be treated like Gods. If a guy can get through high school and college while being functionally illiterate a lot of grade inflation and/or having people do your homework for you is going on. So it's no wonder they feel their crap doesn't stink!

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I am liking Matthews more and more. Between what he does well. And what the Bills need, i think he might be the Bills guy at 11. I know it is a little high for him. Perfect scenario would be tradeing back and getting him in mid teens somewhere. But between him and Poz, i believe you would have a very good LB nucleus for sometime. Bills have to get an OLB, that can cover and also apply some pressure. Two things Matthews does well. The wonderlic does show he has some intelligence. Which translates into being able to pick up the defensive playbook. Everyone else there was like go figure. The last thing i would want is a Wr with a low wonderlic. Talk about a transition. Being not too bright and trying to learn the playbook and how to read defenses on the fly. That is a deadly combo.

Then you have to pay them Millions and hope they produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyQuil Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Seriously how do you score a 4 on the Wonderlic? Anyone know what Marshawn and Leodis scored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Someone said Micheal Oher has a learning disability, yet he scored more than twice as high on the Wonderlic as Peters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Wow, Ebon Britton scored a 31?? Could we get him with the Peters pick, say #21? Grab a LB at #11, then a pass rushing DE in the second and a TE in the third (since it's such a deep class this year)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsflippinrule Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm pretty sure Jason Peters had a score of 9 coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Seriously how do you score a 4 on the Wonderlic? Anyone know what Marshawn and Leodis scored? Enough to make millions of dollars. And Lynch did go to one of the best schools in the country. Supposedly, he got a 14 then improved to a 42. And McKelvin scored a 13 and 34, which is very respectable. http://potencial.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/...nderlic-scores/ But he talks different so he must be dumb. Classy.

Grab a LB at #11, then a pass rushing DE in the second and a TE in the third (since it's such a deep class this year)? Yes, the overemphasis on numbers again, whether it's a 40 time, a bench press, and now in this case a Wonderlich score. By the way, Dan Marino (as most here know because we do go around in circles) scored a 15 which you wouldn't think is exactly HOF QB territory.

Belichick has done wonders with them. The guy is obviously a capable athlete. Being that bright is the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
