I don't know enough about Paea to have an opinion.

No to Stanzi in the second round. I don't think he's an NFL QB.

We couldn't go wrong w/ Wisniewski or Paea. I like Hankerson from what i've seen.

I noticed though that Quinn isn't that good of a tackler (something RK is) and that he isn't that fluid in his hips to drop into coverage (supposedly he looked worse than RK did when he dropped into coverage at his pro day) plus Kerrigan didn't have the character or health issues that Quinn did, the more and more I look at this pick, the more I like it and the more I'm happy we didn't get Quinn.


Now as for day 2, I really really hope we do NOT draft Kaepernick.
Any potential of us drafting Bowers? Titus Young? Trading up for Mallett?

You have poor judgement skills. What is wrong with Kaepernick? NOTHING. Dalton will be gone by 41 and we will draft Kaepernick either at 49 or trade down to get him later if he slips. Watch. PS. Colt Brennan sucks.

If there was nothing wrong with Kaep he would've been picked by now.

There is something wrong with him. He went to Nevada instead of the SEC or other power conference. Have you seen the video and film on him?!?

Yes, sports science isn't gonna be like lol this kid sucks. He's not perfect, he's not garbage either. The jury is out on him. He still seems to have some footwork and accuracy issues from what I've seen, but I'm hardly an expert on 1) QB Play or even 2) College players

I'll agree with the footwork. I have never heard anyone that says he has accuracy issues. That is one of his biggest upsides. Athletic freak with height and mobility and has a very accurate arm. They wouldn't put him on Sports Science if he sucked. It's not like they take bad players and try to spin them as being good. I just think he has all the intangibles and Mallet is a meat head.

I'll be the first to admit that I probably only saw him play once last year but from all that I've ready I've heard that he's inconsistent, can put too much air under the ball, very spotty downfield, etc

I'll leave it to people that know more than me, but I'm guessing the ones that report this do..

[tryfuhl]

Here's a good breakdown

mentions how he's good on rollouts, has McNabb like stride/footwork, so maybe that's why they think that they can "fix" him

Kaepernick is a wasted pick when we can get someone like Rodney Hudson or Wisnewski to protect a decent QB of the future, like Mallett or the guys for next years class.


When I think of us drafting Kaepernick I think of us drafting Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas that year, wasted picks!

[CRedskinsRule]

Well, I don't think this FO has really out and out wasted any picks (not including picks traded for players )so far, so I will give them some breathing room if they go qb.

The sad part is you've actually made yourself think that its true. Who would ever compare two mediocre position players like them with Kaepernick who is 6'5" and has freakish athletic ability to go with great mobility? I'm not saying he is a day 1 starter. However I think he can be a good quarterback for us and saying he is a wasted pick is absurd!

I have news for them. They're not. Their defense got taken apart by Green Bay. This guy better be in the class of a T.O. or Randy Moss. Otherwise they got taken. Way too many picks to give up for a rookie wr.

[skinsfan69]

On the flip side, gotta give Mike Holmgren credit. He should go to jail for stealing from Atlanta.

They could have saved the picks to use on D, and picked up one of the free agent WRs that probably would have more of an immediate impact than Jones will. I definitely think they gave up too much.
