Quote:I wonder why there seems to be such a wide disparity about this guy. Some like him, others hate him, no one seems to be in the middle. Do people just want to avoid him in the 1st? Would anyone be happy if we picked him in the 2nd after getting, say, Clowney in the 1st?


Disclaimer: I only saw him play once, against USC, and admittedly he was not very good that day. That being said, I think Fresno,. as a team, was largely over matched, talent wise, by USC.

You can color me in the middle, which is precisely why I don't want to draft him at 3.


Does he have the measurables? sure, does he seemingly have good intangibles a good head on his shoulder, and football savvy sure.


Are there warranted concerns about the type of offense he excelled in and his pocket presence under pressure, I think so. I wonder why even when making routine throws down the field he has a tendency to fade away on his throws... Meaning he transfers a lot of his weight to his back foot. I see that in a lot of his highlights and I saw it during senior bowl practices and in the game as well. I think some of his bad habits are going to be tough to beat out of him in an nfl system under pressure. That is my opinion.



I would not be upset with a non 1 pick on him necessarily.


But let me ask this, the more it looks like Bridgwater may be available at 3, do to the texans desire to go elsewhere. is their anyone on here that can honestly say they prefer this kid over Bridgwater?
