2011 NFL Draft

People I see making those type of boneheaded statements are usually the ones who didn't watch college football. Ryan Mallett huge arm and extremely accurate with the football. If we put a decent offensive line around him I think he can and will be really good.

I was just pulling OK's chain a little, for fun. Mallett is pretty good. I said something nice about him in this thread.

I don't really think that Mallett will be homeless within three years. I think he'll be sitting in his rec room with JaMarcus Russell watching the NFL on television.

Well I mean we're definitely targeting Joseph and Harris and I wouldn't be surprised to see them both on the roster once FA gets resolved, but I don't think even those additions make us the type of OL that merits bringing in someone like Mallet.

Really if not Locker or Ponder, I'd rather just wait until the middle to late rounds and maybe get someone like Stanzi or McElroy (neither of which are franchise guys in my opinion)

Lol, Mallet needs the following line to protect him.

LT - Ryan Clady
LG - Jhari Evans
C - Nick Mangold
RG - Logan Mankins
RT - Jake Long
TE - Anthony Becht
RB - Clinton Portis

Maybe then he'll have time to throw.

But dude seriously that O-Line woud be BOSS!

Woah seriously?!....maybe we need to start some fresh new threads because people seem to be posting lots of old stories.

Oh, woops haha. You're right Matty, I can never stay up to date on these gargantuan threads...

The consensus this pre-draft season is that the Washington Redskins are going to try and land a quarterback at some point during the draft next weekend. Whether that's at their current draft position (No. 10), higher or lower remains to be seen. The 'Skins have been rumored to be trying to move both directions in the first round, and a logical case can be made for either side of that debate. In the minds of many, athletic QBs like Jake Locker, Christian Ponder and Colin Kaepernick appear to make the most sense as the apple of Mike Shanahan's eye.

But during Monday night's edition of "Path to the Draft" on the NFL Network, analyst Michael Lombardi reported that the Redskins have serious interest in drafting Ryan Mallett (a decidedly non-fleet-footed QB), and would do so even with the No. 10 pick, according to a source. (H/T to Evan Silva of Pro Football Talk for the grab).

For his part, Lombardi foresees Mallett going somewhere in the Top 20, though Doug Farrar of Football Outsiders brings up a salient point in the wake of the report. "Re: Lombardi's take on Mallett -- he loves big-armed QBs and wanted to hire [Arkansas coach Bobby] Petrino for Raiders. Not saying to discount, but watch for bias."

Lombardi isn't the only person talking up Mallett as a first-rounder, though. ESPN.com's Elizabeth Merrill had a tough time finding anyone to say a bad thing about the QB in Arkansas -- meaning that the off-field character concerns might be a shade overblown. ESPN SEC blogger Chris Low thinks that eventually, Mallett will quell the doubters:

- Tim Kavanagh

Mallett's skills are top notch
"Ultimately, it's all going to play out on the field, and on the field, Mallett has showed that he's a first-round talent. Now we'll see if somebody in the NFL thinks so."

Contrary to popular belief, Matty and I are not the same person

Ryan Mallet had 2 consecutive seasons at Arkansass where he pass for over 3500 yards and 30 tds. He played in the toughest division in college football. He has one of the best arms we have seen in a long time. He accurate with the football both and outside of the pocket. My only knock on this kid is that he has threw some costly intercepts, but for the most part he's a stud.

I watched YQB tonight and man Cam Newton just comes off so damn cocky, kids got some really good apects but I just don't see how he can be a franchise QB

I agree with you completely. It bugs the crap out of me that he calls himself the by his name. 'Cam's gonna do this, Cam's gonna do that.' Jesus, its like watching the 'Jimmy' episode of Seinfeld...

Yeah man he's cocky as shit for a guy who's only had 1 good season. Idk man I just think he's in it just for the $

Maybe we should draft him. Last QB that did that won a Super Bowl for us.
