I am here to break down all the Quarterbacks drafted in the draft!
1) (S)Cam Newton first overall to the Panthers.
This pick, does not make sense to me. the Panthers need a passer, not a Newton. Cam does not fit in their scheme. Cam is a dominating presence on the field, but off, he is questionable. I give this pick a c-
2)Jake Locker eighth overall to the titans. Locker has potential. However, he is an average player, on a below average Washington team. he is big, and smart. If he works on his accuracy, and his pocket presence, he can be good. Saying that, The titans addressed their biggest concern. They could have gotten better, but not bad. B
3) Blaine Gabbert tenth overall to the Jaguars. This was a great pick, and the Jags are lucky to get Gabbert this late. The most NFL ready, in my opinion, and the most talented. STEAL. The Jags addressed this "need" because I dont see how he cant improve this team. With Gabbert, they are a legitimate contender. A
4) Christian Ponder twelfth overall to the Vikings. The vikings addressed their need of a QB. They werent willing to let Joe Webb take over. But, Ponder is third, maybe fourth round talent. Huge reach. Poor decision, one they will regret when Andy Dalton is ripping them apart when they play. C
5)Andy Dalton thirty fifth to the Bengals. Big steal. Dalton, first round talent, will step in immediately and take over. this is of course, if Carson Palmer decides to continue being a baby. Dalton is a major talent, coming from TCU. He is a red headed machine! Solid, strong work ethic, and has everything a Qb needs to succeed in the NFL Great pick. A
6) Colin Kaepernick thirty sixth to the 49ers. this pick is phenomenal. His numbers are impecable, and his talent and intelligence are great. he will step in and improve a depleted 49ers team as soon as he steps onto the field. I have never liked a player as much as Kaepernick! his great throwing power and accuracy are well matched by his speed and maneuverability. complete quarterback. A
7) Ryan Mallet 74th overall to the New England Patriots. Mallet just inherited the easiest job in the world. Backing up tom brady. He could not be in a better position. he is learning from one of the best in the league. The patriots could not have made a better pick. or worse. they didnt need a single thing. so all picks by them are good. A by default
8) Ricky Stanzi to the chiefs. He was a good player in college. Not great, but good. was blessed with a good team, with ball hog recievers. A solid starter, had good showings in Big 10 play. should be a solid backup to Matt Cassel. B+
9) TJ Yates to the Houston Texans. Yates failed to impress me at even a single moment in college. Hopefully he makes a great pro, because i probably wouldnt have picked him up in free agency for a 10 year contract worth 50 cents. Lacks accuracy, arm strength, and talent. watch out for him to be a great coach one day. D
10) Nathan Enderle to the Chicago Bears. Great pick. A good talent coming from such a bad school. Enderle has the complete sjills set you need to succeed in the NFL. Im not saying Cutler has to watch out, but Enderle would gladly play when Cutler is hurt, or crying that his foot hurts over on the sidelines. This kid is good. B+
11) Tyrod Taylor to the Ravens. This pick is a decent pick. This gives the Ravens a good wildcat option, with a quarterback who can also throw. Much like Brad Smith, but much more talented. The Ravens drafted him looking for a solid backup, but may have drafted a quarterback who will seriously compete for Joe Flacco's job. B+
12) Greg McElroy to the Jets. Good pickup. someone who has big game exposure, and nerves of steel. It is easy to be confident when Julio Jones and Mark Ingram have your back. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to this system, as I am sure he will get to play (not) will be a formidable backup who might be looking to start elsewhere (seattle, Buffalo, Oakland) in 3 to 4 years. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. B
