What is his projection?
This year, I would have him late second to early third. If he would have stayed, top 20 in 2013. However, I'm willing to bet some team takes him early to mid second. The man has every physical tool. 6'8, 240 rocket arm. He's basically a less experienced Ryan Mallett. Someone will take a chance to develop him. I like him, but he really really should have stayed.
Seeing more and more why Osweiler declared. His offensive coordinator left ASU and he would have had to learn a new system. So I guess he just feels he might as well just do that in the NFL. Man, he has soooo much upside though. HUGE arm, and is really impressing me with accuracy. Want to see him go somewhere for a year or two to sit, and learn, because he was in a spread offense. I could see a team like Denver or KC taking him in the second.
This thread is dead cause of playoffs lol
Well, I'll just type anyways.
Watched 2 games of Osweiler so far. One he looked like a 1st rounder, the second he looked like a 4th rounder. Though the second game was the bowl game against Boise and Az St was badly outmatched, and it was his worst game of the year (I hear from Az St fans). I'm gonna try and watch 2-3 more, and make a final decision. If I had to compare him to a prospect coming out, it would be Gabbert, but a Gabbert who isn't scared to get hit. He's got ALL the tools, he's just gotta put it together. And like Gabbert, no one expected him to come out, and now he's probably the 3rd ranked QB. I like him more than Cousins, but haven't watched Foles yet.
If you want to watch for yourself:
Brock Osweiler vs. Utah (2011)

I'm not sold on Osweiler, at all...
He definitely does some things well. That size is a great asset, and his arm is super strong. However, his accuracy down field is just WILD. Anything he throws outside of the hash marks and down the field seems like a big gamble. He really scares me in that sense. Another thing I want to see from him is his 5-7 step drops under center. Brock is a huge guy, and appears to have good athletic ability but how well/fast can he get out from under the center? The ASU offense doesn't allow us to see that.

Yeah, I wouldnt pick Brock until the late 3rd round. Seems too much like a project QB; needs some good coaching before he can come in.

No, he was invited to try out for the team, where he would be a PF, not a PG

Walter football can be sooo far off sometimes though.
I mean, in that scouting report alone they say one of his strengths is "game breaking speed." I'm not going to say he's slow, because he isn't as slow as some are making him out to be, but he isn't a burner by any stretch of the imagination. He's more quick than fast.
And in their Lamar Miller scouting report, they say his receiving ability and durability are two strengths. Receiving ability is an unknown at best, and he played injured all season. It's great that it didn't sideline him, but it obviously affected his play.

I know. They say Wilson runs a 4.59 too. They can be off, but they still are pretty respected.

I'll have my eyes on Claiborne since the Vikes might take him.
