Quote:The article has me intrigued by Savage, but sounds like we won't have a shot at him.

 

My boy Savage!  http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/top...om-savage/

 

I've been banging the drum on him for awhile... I'm not surprised he is getting love from scouts now.  He is exactly what you want in a non-1st round QB.  Although I wouldnt take him 2nd round.  Even 3rd round seems high unless you've got a pick to blow.

 

But I still think of all the non-1st round developmental QBs, he has the highest ceiling.  If you want a guy who physically has the potential to be a decent starting QB, he is it.  He has the build, the arm, can make all the throws, etc...  his biggest weakness is lousy pocket awareness and lack of experience due to transferring.  He basically didnt play for 3 years.  If all he needs is a few years on the bench and a lot of practice reps to fix the pocket awareness, you could have a real steal.  If not, he'll go down as just another mid-round QB that wasnt good enough to be a starter.   

 

But of all the non-1st round developmental guys, I think he and Mettenberger have the highest ceiling from a pure physical standpoint.
