The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[Maxie the Taxi]

Looking for the following from Minnesota (more of a wish list)


Tebow

Hey, Rastak, nice to see you. Interested in Tebow, huh? I didn't think Minnie needed a FB.

the guy needs to learn how to be a real qb. if he ever does learn how, he's going to be very scary

guys a born winner and leader

With his work ethic I'm guessing at some point that will happen.

I've been watching him down here for years. Guy is a class act. He throws like Paul Hornung, only with accuracy.

[Rastak]

If the Vikings don't take Tebow, I'm guessing the Colts will. Of course, Jax might beat them both to it.

I bet he's gone by 30.

I agree with you. He's got all the intangibles and will be a great leader. You can't grow that stuff on trees but you can coach him to throw differently.

I wouldn't have a problem with that except he could trade down and get him but Crazy Al might draft Heyward-Bey again......

Scuttlebutt is that Al will draft the athletic freak of nature, Jason Pierre-Paul out of S. Florida.

[Tony Oday]

Wow Drafted number one selection is Bradford and call that a BUST.

[Rastak]

Strengths:
Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive.

Weaknesses:
Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited experience --- Stats were inflated by a spread system.

Notes:
Was basically just a two-year starter for the Sooners --- Father, Kent, was an offensive lineman at Oklahoma in the late-1970's --- Citizen of the Cherokee tribe --- Won the Heisman Trophy, Davey O'Brien Award and Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2008 --- Earned 1st Team All-American Honors in 2008 --- Was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and also took home 1st Team All-Conference honors in 2008 --- Led the Sooners to back-to-back Big 12 titles ('07 & '08) and an appearance in the BCS Championship game ('08) --- Set a number of NCAA and school records despite starting just 31 career games in college --- Would most likely have competed with Matthew Stafford to be the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft but opted to return to school for another year of development --- Sprained the AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder in the 2009 season opener --- Tried to come back after missing a couple of games but was reinjured and eventually underwent season-ending surgery in late-October that was performed by the renowned Dr. James Andrews --- Certainly has plenty of positive traits to get excited about but there are also a lot of unknowns and major question marks, including: 1) How will his arm respond after being surgically repaired? 2) Can his body hold up to the pounding it will have to endure at the next level? 3) Will he be able to adapt to a pro style offense or was he simply a product of Oklahoma's system that enabled other quarterbacks like Josh Heupel, Nate Hybl and Jason White to put up huge numbers as well? --- A highly-decorated, prolific signal caller with adequate physical tools and first-rate intangibles --- Could very easily emerge as a successful starter in the NFL but there are also serveral ominous warning signs that indicate a considerable bust factor.
