Talking QB's in the Draft not named Newton.

I just wanted to talk a bit about some QBs in the draft that don't have to do with our guy, and, since I'm an attention *****, I must start my own thread.

My thoughts:

Jake Locker can be a very good NFL QB. I didn't like him at all until I saw the specials ESPN had on him with Gruden, and 3 for the show. But I think he could be Delhomme 2.0.

Gabbert has never impressed me, and I don't think he will. Sitting behind Garrard though gives him a good chance though. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into something because of that.

Christian Ponder terrifies me. The guy is insanely intelligent. Insanely. He also comes across as an old school type guy, which for no factual based reason scares me. See Hillis, Peyton. I wasn't scared of him before the draft because it seemed like he was so obscure that it really wouldn't make a difference how smart or old school he was. But the Vikings taking him early just gives the impression they know something we don't. With decent coaching, he could be a good NFL QB. Could see him as a Doug Flutie type guy, except better.

Stupid Lions and their stupid awesome DL. Reminds me of the 2003 Panthers. If Stafford is healthy next season, the Lions will be a force. Yeah, yeah, not QB's.

Dalton might slip in the 2nd round. He might not. It's a toss up. As nice as the guy is, he never really scared me.

Don't be surprised if the Phins make a move to move up and nab Kaepernick, even over Mallett. They love the kid.

With the run on QB's, the guy I've liked since the beginning, Stanzi could end up going earlier than anticipated.

Don't see Tyrod Taylor going anywhere until at least the 4th. But could easily see him going anywhere from the 5th or 6th.

This is what I have said, and what I say is important.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
