I would take a shot at him in the 6th or 7th ... he's 6'0 200lbs and runs a 4.5 40 maybe he could be converted to WR or RB and used as a spot qb (goal line and short yardage) . You read the bios on some of these guys getting drafted and it seems like they have no chance of making an impact in the NFL.1st round talent....
Uh oh, this is trouble.But I'd bet he gets a start this year.
On a punt return?
Even excluding off-the-field issues, there are still a lot of QB's out there who are better than Vick on-the-field... Gradkowski, Pinegar, Smith, and Hackney.No way would I draft Vick.
they drafted a WR from BYU. so i was off by...just a bit atlanta did take a QB...d.j. shockley - he was a much better pick in the 7th than marcus vick
Marcus =
and now the falcons can say they won't bring in marcus as a free-agent because they already have enough QB's. very smart pick on many levels

His brother can easily support him. He's not in the real world.
I'm not sure if he is even allowed in McDonald's after his last incident...
good pointif that's how it turns out...aside from his blood he's no different that any other "hanger on"
I agree with this.. It reminds me of the situation that QB was in out of Florida State. I can't remember his name right now, but he had legal issues and went undrafted. He went to arena football and performed well while staying out of trouble. So that earned him a spot back in the NFL last year as a back up with the Saints (He was the guy who lined up under the wrong lineman at the line of scrimmage, and was the laughing stock for a while). I think Marcus Vick will travel down a similiar road.

Difference is McPherson isn't a kid with an attitude like this schmuck, who STILL believes he's done NOTHING WRONG!!! After hearing his interview on ESPN today, it's VERY easy to see why no one drafted this ########. I don't believe Marcus Vick is the QB McPherson is either. There's no reason for NFL teams to give this kid a look.....he's not a talented enough passer to start anywhere now or the future. And little reason to have a unreliable, troublesome backup QB with a load of baggage. Stars might get away with brushes with the law, roster fodder like Vick usually don't.Get me some fries #####.
Your right about him being a bit of a narcissist, but that doesn't mean he's not able to prove himself in another league (arena or CFL), and get a shot at an NFL career. He needs to prove that he's a capable quarterback, and he's matured enough that a team doesn't have to worry about his off the field non sense. At this point he hasn't proved that, and that's the problem.
This is the point I think a lot of people are missing. Did people talking about him as an athlete actually see him play? At least the Miami game, when he fumbled the ball away four times and threw two picks? Even if the guy was Mother Theresa off-the-field, he would barely have been worthy of a draft pick.
I agree, I think he'll have to head to CFL/Arena for a shot. At this point, I don't think he's got a choice. He's a good athlete & I'm not questioning that. I just don't personally believe he's good enough to start at the NFL level ever. Therefore, I wouldn't waste the effort to try to develop him. VT gave him multiple chances & he dropped them all. Even the notority of his brother couldn't save him. McPherson is a quiet kid that got caught of wrongdoing at FSU. You haven't heard a problem from him since.
