QB's are always a risk but I think Stanton has as much of a chance as any of them. I think that was a pretty good pick.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Drew Stanton to Calvin Johnson for the next 10 years? I know these are the Lions, but that combination still scares me. I'm a big Stanton fan.Go PACKComment

What happens if Woodley falls to 47? I couldn't see Thompson picking another d-lineman, but you never know.."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

Stanton to Lions....good pick....
Drew Stanton
QB | (6'3", 226, 4.75) | MICHIGAN STATE
Scouts Grade: 87
Strengths: Possesses adequate height and good bulk. Has a strong arm and can make all the NFL throws. Gets good zip on deep out routes. Shows good timing and touch as a passer. Consistently is able to drop the ball in-between LB's and DS's. Also does a good job of leading his WR's to soft spots in zone. Sells pump-fakes and play-action fakes well. He is a mobile QB and is a threat to run. He throws the ball effectively on the run. Gets his shoulders square and shows good accuracy rolling to both sides. Has quick feet to avoid the rush and the speed to turn the corner as a runner. Is a dual-threat QB who can be very dangerous when he breaks contain. Shows some elusiveness as a runner. Also is a tough, competitive runner who knows where the first-down marker is when he takes off to run. A fiery leader; he is one of the toughest and most competitive prospects in this draft class. Intelligent and hard-working both as a student and in film study. Possesses good overall intangibles.
Weaknesses: Inconsistency is the biggest issue. He must improve his overall decision making skills. He also has had a tendency to go in the tank after making a mistake. Still a bit unpolished as a pocket passer. Needs to improve his footwork. He comes from a relatively simple offensive scheme that does not require a lot of difficult coverage or progression reads. He also lacks experience throwing the ball vertically. Has become more patient in the pocket but still must improve in that area. Spends a lot of time in the shotgun and will need to adjust to making more reads on drops at the NFL level. Has had durability issues throughout his career.
Overall: Stanton redshirted in 2002. He played in all 13 games, primarily on special teams, as a redshirt freshman in 2003. He injured his knee, which required reconstructive surgery in the off-season, covering a punt in the first quarter of the Alamo Bowl that season. In 2004, Stanton started seven of the 10 games that he played in (limited by a separated shoulder), completing 64.1-percent of his attempts for 1,601 yards, eight touchdowns, and six interceptions. He also rushed for 687 yards on 96 attempts scoring five touchdowns to earn an honorable mention All-Big 10 selection (coaches and media). Stanton started all 11contests in 2005 despite suffering a hand injury late in the year, completed 66.7-percent of his throws for 3,077 yards with 22 touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions, and rushed for 338 yards and four touchdowns on 121 carries, receiving another honorable mention accolade (media). In 2006, he started the 11 games he played in (missed Penn State) and threw for 1,807 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while completing 61-percent of his attempts. Stanton also carried 110 times for 445 yards and five more scores that year.
Stanton has been an inconsistent performer throughout his career. He makes some questionable decisions and he struggles to recover from mistakes. He comes from a system that does not require many vertical throws or NFL-style reads, and durability remains a big concern regarding Stanton's pro potential. On the flipside, Stanton possesses all the physical tools to eventually emerge as a dynamic starting quarterback in the NFL, including the size, arm strength and athletic ability. He also shows ideal toughness and competitiveness. In our opinion, Stanton shows enough potential to warrant consideration as the third quarterback taken in the 2007 class.

I just wish I'd get to see some teams GM rip in to Kiper atleast once today."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment
