2012 NFL Draft Thread.

[Hurricane Season]

Jarvis Jones from UGA is probably the top pass rusher.

People are doing mocks already lol?

 

[TTN2810]

My goodness, Mike Glennon. He throws way to many sub-five-yard throws.

Mike Glennon vs. Louisville (Watch directly on YouTube for 720p)

 

[Hurricane Season]

Great patience and toughness in the pocket, but those back foot throws are hideous.

Nothing about that looked like a 1st round QB to me, but we'll see. Last year was his first year as a starter.

 

[TTN2810]

The seem throw TD before half where he placed it in front of the safety so the WR could run was fantastic, but that was the only play that really impressed me. And even though he did check down a lot, there were plays where he clearly went through his progressions to make the right throw. You can see this on his first TD. I'm going to cut up another game of his vs. Wake Forest, so maybe we'll see a little more in that one.

 

[TTN2810]

Kendall Wright chose #13. Love it, 13 had always been my favorite number.

Would you guys rather see another Glennon game, or should I do a Geno Smith game first?

 

[Elite]

Geno

FWIW I think Logan Thomas could be the next Cam Newton. Watching Thomas, his motions in the pocket are pretty much identical to Newton. Though he's not quite as good an athlete, he's an inch taller and 15 pounds heavier. Look out for this guy.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I remember Logan Thomas destroying my high school team in the state semi's during my senior year.

 

[TTN2810]

The guy's a beast. He just needs to be more consistent. Last year there was too many games where he was held in check.

 

[Pugz]

jake, do you actually like cousins or are you only sporting the avy cause hes a 'skin?

 

[elcheato]

He thinks he's better than RG3

I've always liked Cousins.

Just because the retards on ESPN don't think it was a good pick doesn't mean they're right. I had no problem with it whatsoever.

 

[Pugz]

he slipped. i just dont like the idea of having him behind the new "franchise" guy. he needs to sit behind a solid vet and slowly get into the spot. he wont behind rg3. oh well. you guys got two talented dudes at qb lol..not a bad thing at all.

 

[elcheato]

I don't like the pick because of the scarce resources the Skins have and I don't think that highly of Cousins in the first place.

The Redskins are expecting Cousins to impress as a back up and have the same value that Schaub, Flynn and Kolb had. I don't see that happening.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Whether or not he has what it takes to become the next Cassel or Kolb remains to be seen, but we've seen what happens to teams that fail to address the backup QB position.

Caleb Hanie and Curtis Painter are prime examples. Cassel and Flynn are also examples of what happens when you have a competent back up in place.

Backup QB is the 2nd most important position on a football team, but it's also probably one of the least "glamorous."

 

[TTN2810]

It'll happen goddammit. Nah, but seriously, he's a Matt Flynn clone. I know we haven't seen much of Flynn, but with either of them, put them in the right offense and they will flourish. I like them both in a west coast or spread hybrid type deal that a lot of teams are running. Even though Cousins played in a pro style in college.

And you can address that in free agency, instead of taking another unproven rookie, who you can't even consider a good back up at this point.

 

[TTN2810]

You gotta think of system fits though Cheato. Cousins who was the 3rd QB on their board, fits them a lot better than the FA guys. You don't want to sign another McNabb who just wont fit and will suck.
