Stidham was the QB I saw all the tweets about wining day 1.

He's pancaking guys right and left. The only drawback is that he's only played RT in college. I'd love to see them get him some reps at LT as well. I also liked what I saw from Charlotte RG Nate Davis. I literally knew nothing about this guy before today, but he has excellent handwork and technique. He latches onto defenders and doesn't let go. All around, I really see some good O-Line talent out there.
I agree on both counts. I am hoping McGary will be there for us in the 2nd round.
Conversely, the Wisconsin linemen did not look good, and the RT from Alabama State_Tytus Howard looked rattled by the moment. He had countless false starts and was absolutely abused by the DE from Miss. St. I also liked what I saw from Washington St. LT Andre Dillard, and to a lesser degree Northern Illinois LT Max Scharping (I wouldn't mind him in the 3rd round if the early round emphasis is on offensive skill positions)
I was also impressed by the defensive talent there. Montez Sweat, the guy who abused Howard above, looked like an absolute stud.
I was also impressed with DT Daylon Mack, who had a good showing last week in the E-W shrine game, DT Greg Gaines, and CB Rock Ya Sin.
@Something tells me FBC Jax would be against him getting drafted by the Jags@

Beautiful placement...
but his tendency to bring the ball down to his hip scares me. I know it's a quick wind up, but it's still a windup. And we've seen enough of that...
If the Jaguars do go for Foles as some expect, it's looking like there are a growing number of quarterbacks who would be good value picks in rounds 3 and 4. It will be interesting to see which guy improves his stock the most this week. I wouldn't mind Stidham or Finley in round 3 or even Grier in round 2. Of course, if several of these guys continue to impress maybe the Giants will decide to pass on Haskins opening the door for the Jags to grab him.
South squad practice coverage beginning on ESPNU right now.
Who is this minshew guy that supposedly is.so good at reading the field? Sounds enticing

He’s got some accuracy issues that concern me. Came in under 6’1” also.

He was the QB for Washington State. He's just a product of Mike Leach's scheme imo.
That's the reports are saying but it also said if the NFL is switching to those schemes why wouldn't he be successful

70.7% completions for the year. That doesn't show accuracy problems to me and certainly not when I watched him this year. As far as the height, as long as he's over 6' I'm fine with him.

And the radio guys were harping on him too. Saying best arm there.

That’s my guy!
I think he would be an nice developmental prospect if we decide to look for a QB later on in the draft.
What games do y'all recommend watching. Im interested to see how he performs under pressure and do you have a comp in the NFL?

Sweat has probably risen quicker than anyone in the draft. I could see him going as high as #8 to Detroit and as low as #12 to Green Bay. I don't believe he gets passed the Packers. Dude is having a monster week.
