2011 NFL Draft

30gut

I've always liked Tyrod and glad to see them bring him in for workout at least his name is still in the QB conversation for some teams.

I was beginning to wonder if despite his skill set and production wether he was considered a draftable QB.

The height bias often prevents many good 6'0 QB prospects from even getting a first look as a draft pick. e.g Chase Daniels (I still can't believe we kept Brennan over Daniels)

It appears that the Skins are only working out local schools/talent targeted for later round draft ochs and/or UDRFAs.

The is a regular workout like the other teams that invited Tyrod for a workout.

The local school prospect tryouts you're describing doesn't happpen til after the draft around the may mini-camps.

I think I said it correctly, other than misspelling "picks" for "ochs" (Swype). I don't recall the team attending a pro-day of a top 10 prospect as of yet (Julio Jones is rehabbing). Instead, they have sent scouts and coaches to local schools who really have limited value as 1st and 2nd round selections. Is Hampton University having a pro-day? You can expect them to "show" interest in DL Kenrick Ellis. The FO will not make it obvious who they're targeting in the first round by attending a pro-day of a top prospect. Where else have they been?

What happened to Moore? Remember at the start of college season, experts said he was the best QB in the country.

This is why you need Mentos. To justify your questionable problem solving skills.

What you're saying above is different from what I disagreed with.
Before you said this:
Cam Newton, Von Miller and Tyrod Taylor are the only workouts I've heard about thus far.

As far as I know Newton and Miller are neither local prospects nor projected as late round picks or UDFAs.

Tyrod would be the only prospect they're bringing in for a visit thus far that fits your description of bringing in local/late so unless your using some form of minority rule your view is wrong.

Team's that have QB 'gurus' like to look at QBs; last year they brought in all of the top prospects IIRC.

The Skins are bringing in Tyrod for look see, their reasons are their reasons but they're not only bringing in late/local prospects.

LOL I don't remember but earlier in the season when BSU was rolling, Moore was a top Heisman candidate and some actually said he could have been the best qb before the season started of course.

Aside from his wonderlic score, he's humble & mature, not a fiery leader but has command & will earn the respect of his teamates. RI says Tyrod projects from 3rd to 5th, that's news to me, thought he was a late round prospect at this point.
