2012 NFL Draft Thread.

[Elite]

Darron Thomas declared for the draft.

Drew Rosenhaus is probably the worst advisor to have. Such a stupid decision.

Yeah, Thomas has no future in the NFL.

But then again, Dennis Dixon somehow managed to latch on in the NFL for three or four years now and Thomas is better than him.

Darron Thomas is likely to go undrafted. Dumb move.

And if he goes back next year and loses his job, he doesn't even get a sniff at the NFL. At least now he'll make a practice squad.

Who the hell would he lose his job too? A freshman Jake Rodrigues? Bryan Bennet?

Not going to happen.

 

[elcheato]

Im saying as a worst case scenario. At best, he's still going un drafted next year

 

[Hurricane Season]

He'll end up as a receiver if he ever makes an NFL roster.

I'm going to tell you all right now: Osweiler will be in first round consideration by April. He's shown he can make reads (not consistently yet though, but he has the ability) and is generally smart with the football, which is a big thing for a QB with an arm like his. Underrated accuracy too.

Osweiler is my second best QB prospect for 2012 as of right now. I’ve always believed his sheer size and arm strength combination were enough to make him successful with some time learning pocket presence and defenses on the bench he can be something special.

 

[TTN2810]

Second? No way is he better than RG3, and it's not close.

Robert Griffin III vs. Kansas State (2011)

There's some great tape of Wright there too. Probably his best game IMO.

I might be wrong but from what I watched on that video. It doesn't look he steps into his throws very much. I could be wrong though lol

 

[TTN2810]

He could do a better job of that, but either way he still transfers the weight, and it seems like he gets everything he has on the ball. If he isn't, wow, because he is really slinging it.

 

[Elite]

He just looks really awkward in the pocket, not sure what it is 100% but he looks weird doing it.

 

[TTN2810]

I know what you are referring to (I think), but it's actually a good thing. Is it how he shifts his whole body to set his feet and throw? It's different, but it's why he's so accurate.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned yet, but Eric Page declared a few days ago.

Him and TY Hilton are my two favorite receiver prospects in this class.

I think if he worked on that it would make even more lethal. It probably could make him have even more power and better accuracy on his throws.

 

[Hurricane Season]

He's always alternately shuffling his feet in the pocket. That's probably why he throws off balance so often. He's throwing with nothing but his upper body if he finds his receiver right after shuffling off his front foot.

Seems like a mechanical flaw that can be fixed. He needs to widen his base a bit. It works for him in college because he keeps himself in position to take off if he needs to, but he's going to have to rely more on his arm and less on his legs in the NFL.

Over guys like Blackmon, Wright etc?

 

[Hurricane Season]

I'm not saying they're better. I just enjoyed watching them more in college.

 

[TTN2810]

Yeah, more like a favorite player. I like Wilson more than Richardson, but doesn't mean he's better. I understand now lol.
