2012 QB Class

Lindley is a four year starter who has struggled three out of four years at a low level of competition. Guys like that have a place in this league, but when they have to play, they usually turn out somewhere between Derek Anderson and John Skelton. Can't spend a pick on that when there will be better players in undrafted free agency.

I think Kellen Moore is a better pro prospect coming out than Andy Dalton. The problem with Moore is that six foot guys simply can't be used in the same way that six five guys can in the NFL. There are about 12 passing systems in the league where Kellen Moore is a bona fide first round talent. Of course, none of those systems are struggling to find quarterbacks. Those are the ones that employ Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Freeman, etc.

There are two teams who may be able to get first round value out of Kellen Moore who don't have an obvious long term solution to the QB problem. Arizona and Miami are running offense that could make Kellen Moore a star (though if either fires their offensive staff, all bets are off). He's probably a second or third round project to the Redskins.

Don't forget Ryan Lindley

San Diego State

He does have a cannon of an arm.

Weeden from OKST is pretty good also but he's old ass hell

I posted a scouting report of Kellen Moore on the previous page. The part that attracts people to him are the high marks for Mental Makeup, Intangibles, production, and short accuracy. The thing that kills him though is the height and marginal arm strength. It's just one of those things where if we draft him I'll assume we saw something in him and he fits the mold of what we need but otherwise I'm expecting him to be a third day pick.

I tell you what though. If he had to play an SEC team he would get absolutely destroyed.

I like Tannehill. I wouldn't spend a high pick on him or start him right away. And I realize he is short on experience. But he shows good mechanics, a good arm, a reasonable football IQ, and very fine mobility. I think he has a bright future.

Plus he's played WR at a high level, so if he doesn't work out at QB we'll just slide him over :)

Chandler Harnish is playing right now on ESPN2 for Northern Illinois

There are several top college QBs that I like. Since Andrew Luck won't be drafted by the Redskins unless Shanahan gives away lots of draft choices to put the Redskins in the number 1 slot to get Luck, then Landry Jones, Robert Griffin III, and Matt Barkley are definitely next in line after Luck. Griffin III has a brilliant deep ball, pocket presence, can scramble with great running ability, his super accuracy, and very athletic. Barkley is very accurate, doesn't throw many interceptions, can scramble, plays in a pro style offense, is a field general, a team leader, and has the ability to hit his receivers in stride. Jones is a gifted QB. Although his completion percentage is down a bit this year, he's still a great passer with excellent pocket presence. He can hit the deep ball. Jones doesn't scramble much, but he can tuck it and run if he has to.

Problem is Luck is the only one thats likely to come out.

I don't follow college ball, but I will say this random thought. The "disadvantage" of the spread offense is hardly substantial enought to cause a QB to fail(aka, it's mostly BS). It's just a lack of knowledge and muscle memory. If the QB's brain is not pliable to make the transition, he's got bigger issues than the offense he ran in college. Guys like Sam Bradford and Cam Newton came out of the spread and they are doing just fine.
