He posted the most accurate mock on the net in 04, and did an excellent job last year too. Understand he doesn't predict trades, but he also doesn't expect D'Brick to be #1 overall. He lists him as the first choice of the Texans, who he expects to move down to get him-- making Dufresne very happy.
Not by anyone with a perspective based in reality.
He'll be a top 10 pick this year.
He has the highest passer rating in the NCAA. Like every QB he's been hot and cold, but the accuracy issue was put to rest against Ohio St. early in the season. Some seem stuck in opinions from last year and this preseason. He has a very strong arm, he makes very tough throws, he shows nice touch, and excellent presence in the pocket. His athleticism just adds to his potential. There isn't one draft guru or scout that entertains the notion of him being something other than a very gifted QB. He'll need time and he'll need work, but the potential of what he could develop into will get him drafted in the top 10.
It's possible he could go 3rd. As mentioned above, he'll have to test exceptionally. He might. And D'Brick will have to disappoint or have very tight competition at LT. He might. I doubt it happens like that, but I won't be surprised to see AZ or NO grab him where ever they pick.
The guy is a great athlete, pure and simple.His mechanics need work no doubt, but if he comes out he'll go top 5 for sure.
I didn't want to get on the VY debate in Colin's thread, but I do share many people's opinion that he is not the can't miss prospect some are making him out to be. I have seen him fire the ball down the field, and even seen him throw with accuracy...but every time I've watched him play (6-8 games or so) I'm struck by two things: 1. He runs like a mother. 2. His passing mechanics are hinky. Now maybe #2 can be fixed by a good QB coach, or maybe I'm overreacting to what I see. But I am VERY skeptical that he will be anything more than Mike Vick Lite.
Yep. He's a top-5 pick for sure.
There are 2 folks who voted 3rd round, and clearly they've never watched football.
Now if you're going to draft a player simply to sell tickets and put butts in the seats (which was the thought around the Texans drafting Bush) that the Young pick would make all the sense in the world.
He reminds me a lot of McNabb...
