You Pick'Em Results and Tuesday Evening News, Tebow Style

it wasn’t me though, honest. I stand by my horrible picks.

post what Mel Kiper posted about the Ram’s draft needs? I know a lot of people don’t like Kiper, but it’d be interesting to get his take on the draft. He did call Stafford getting drafted #1 overall like 3 years ago too so he knows his stuff (occasionally)

McShay had this to say:
“• South team — Tebow is continuing to struggle under center. His timing and rhythm are off, even for a quarterback working with new receivers. He also seems to be having problems reading the defense, which combined with his elongated release makes him late on some throws. However, he is not hanging his head and is remaining positive and embracing the leadership role.”
“South Team: Bad Days
Florida QB Tim Tebow — We were anxious to see Tebow work under center and he ended up looking very awkward. He fumbled snaps, took false steps in his drops and had trouble setting his feet at the top of his drops. Tebow was out of rhythm as a result and hurried his throws, which in turn affected his accuracy. He simply couldn’t put it all together on Day 1. Tebow is essentially relearning how to do everything and struggled today, though he did remain positive and continued to embrace a leadership role.”

…than an overrated dbag like Clausen.

Sorry, that’s part of my Trojan-ness coming out. What I’m trying to say is, let it play out. Tebow’s got a lot of time, and I wouldn’t mind him in round 4. Clausen also has time to either rise or fall.

The playing field is even for those two in my book. Clausen underthrows his deep ball, wasn’t a winner per se. Tebow played in the spread and has an elongated release.

They both have their negatives, but on the positive side, Clausen ran a pro-style offense, is extremely accurated in short to medium range throws. Tebow is big, has a strong arm, and won with the best of them at Florida, and possesses off-the charts intangibles.

It’s an even ball game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the value of Tebow in round 3-4ish outshines the value for Clausen in round 1ish when April rolls around.

I just hope the Rams make the best decisions, as we all do.

We don’t need to even consider drafting a QB in this draft. We need to DRAFT a WR and a playmaker on the D-line. Our defensive needs are paramount and a boost at WR is what we need.

Dont’ get me wrong. But I’d be interested to go back and see where such luminaries as Jimmy Kennedy, Carriker, Tye Hill, Robert Thomas etc.. ranked on the “big board”. We can blame a terrible front office of the previous regime all we want, but SOME folks thought they were gonna be pretty good…

I hate to heed sage advice from such a bumbling fool as Mike Dunleavy, but “When you’ve got the number one, you listen thoroughly to every offer”.

has everyone forgotten about Sam Bradford. True he messed up his throwing arm and true he recently had surgery and true he will probably miss the combine but until they say he has NOT cleared a physical checkup and until he shows he’s lost his touch at his college’s pro day he still is arguably the most accurate passer coming out for the draft this year. Just remember had he not injured his shoulder and had another great season he would be ranked as the number one overall pick. Having said all that I’m still in favor of drafting Suh I just think Bradford deserves some consideration here.

Go Rams!
