Jay Cutler
QB, Vanderbilt
War Room analysis
Arm strength: Has good size and body strength, which helps him have a very strong arm. Makes every NFL throw. Shows good zip on deep outs and delivers passes into tight spots. Throws a nice deep ball; can also throw across his body while on the move. But overconfidence here sometimes means trouble. Grade: 8.2.
Accuracy/delivery: Shows good overall accuracy and timing. Can thread the needle in dropping the ball between defenders. Needs better mechanics, a quicker release and a more consistent release point. Sometimes throws off back foot, causing passes to sail. Grade: 8.1.
Field vision: Is smart. Sees the field well. Makes good progression reads and checks down. Has a good feel for the game and is patient in the pocket. Also has great vision as an open-field runner. Grade: 8.3.
Running ability: Is a great athlete, but footwork needs work. Has good pocket awareness and quickness. Can buy extra time with his feet. Doesn't shy away from tucking the ball and taking off. Changes directions well. Grinds out tough yardage; has a nose for the first-down marker. Grade: 8.4.
Intangibles: Is a great competitor; plays hard all the time. Shows the leadership to win respect of teammates and motivate those around him. Has great passion for the game; finds ways to win. Grade: 8.6.
Bottom line: Cutler considered entering the 2005 draft but wisely decided to stay in school. He played with great emotion as a senior, showing that he can make NFL-caliber plays. Cutler's stock has soared this season although there might be some concern about the physical pounding he has taken. An experienced player who finally is getting the recognition he deserves, Cutler is a surefire first-rounder.
Dan Pompei analysis
Is big. Probably has the best arm in the '06 draft. Is tough and competitive. Can run. Shows only average accuracy. Is not hesitant to check down to secondary receivers. Took a beating (23 sacks in '05) at Vanderbilt with substandard teammates. Shows a questionable feel for pressure, and doesn't escape pressure well. Makes questionable decisions under pressure. Can gain yards in the open field, but lacks quickness and is not elusive. Does not always throw away the ball when needed. Must improve technique. Forces too many throws into tight coverage. Probably will have a slow transition to become an NFL starter.
No. 4 on Pompei's QB rankingsComment

No QB for Minnesota. I like Charlie Whitehurst as a 3rd round pick for them. I'm really hoping they wasted a 2nd round pick on Brodie Croyle.

Packers talk to Bush's representatives
The Green Bay Packers this morning contacted the representatives for USC running back Reggie Bush and could be exploring the possibility of moving up to the No. 2 spot in today's NFL draft to get the Heisman Trophy winner, according to an NFL league source.
The Saints own the No. 2 pick, and Bush is considered to be the top player on the draft board after the the Texans disclosed last night that they were going to pick defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 pick.
The Saints have been interested in trading with the Packers for disgruntled wide receiver Javon Walker, so that could be part of a deal if the Packers were to move up from the No. 5 pick.Comment
