Brock Jensen, QB, North Dakota State: FCS Division

UDFA. Signed by Dolphins as UDFA but released in August. Has enough athleticism, poise, experience, and passing ability to find a spot in the NFL as a backup. The comparably lower level of competition in the FCS means he may have … Continue reading

Nathan Scheelhaase, QB, Illinois

Positives: Throws with adequate arm strength and velocity. Adequate accuracy on short passes. Above-average accuracy on rollouts, and he keeps his eyes downfield on the run. Decision making improved by his senior season. Nice play fakes. Runs with above-average speed … Continue reading

Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU

Titans, Round 6. He showed some skills as a passer in college, but his lack of mobility – which may be even worse after his knee injury – will probably keep him from being consistently successful in the NFL. After … Continue reading

Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia

Chiefs, Round 5. On the Chiefs, he should be a solid backup to Alex Smith with the potential to be a solid starter if need be. He needs to clean up his mechanics and improve his reading of defenses a bit, … Continue reading

AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama

Bengals, Round 5. I expected him to go in Round 2, and thought he had third-round skills, but he went a lot later than I, and probably he, expected. On the Bengals, he’ll make a solid backup to Andy Dalton and … Continue reading

Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M

Browns, Round 1. Was a redshirt sophomore. In the draft, he could have gone anywhere from number one to number 62, probably. In most drafts, I would have viewed him as a 3rd-round pick, but, with the premium placed on the … Continue reading

Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida

Jaguars, Round 1. Redshirt junior. Positives: Great height and bulk for the position. Adequate hand size. Average track speed. Adequate vertical leap and 3-cone drill. Above-average lateral quickness. Ran a versatile pro-style system in college with some spread elements, so he … Continue reading

Jerick McKinnon, RB/WR/QB, Georgia Southern

Vikings, Round 3. He went MUCH earlier than anyone really expected, and to a team that probably could have used someone with more immediate impact. I expected Round 6, but his athleticism opened a lot of eyes during the draft … Continue reading

David Fales, QB, San Jose State

Bears, Round 6. Transferred from Nevada to community college to Wyoming to San Jose State. I see him as the third QB on the roster, ahead of Jordan Palmer but behind Jimmy Clausen. His short and medium accuracy are good enough for … Continue reading
