LeFevour just 'meh' at his Pro Day

by Ryan Van Bibber on Mar 25, 2010 4:25 PM CDT in 2010 St. Louis Rams offseason

My goodness, after yesterday's flurry of activity and the draft now less than a month away, it feels like a day without rumor is a day without sunshine. Oh well, back to reality, more specifically, let's talk more draft.

Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour threw for scouts et al at his pro day yesterday. The results? How's this for damning someone with faint praise, "solid, not spectacular."

His deep passes were the problem. His deep throws lacked accuracy, causing receivers to alter their routes. Is that something that can be corrected at the NFL level? That remains to be seen. Quarterbacks (and all players for that matter) each come to the draft with questions about their ability. LeFevour's deep throws underscore the different kinds of question marks that separate first round quarterbacks from the rest of the pack.

There's more mock draft action going on over at Mocking the Draft as the SBN bloggers mock draft dives into the mix. The Chiefs just used their fifth pick for what's been the first surprise of the draft so far. Check it out.

Sad to here that

but the kids numbers don’t lie, and in games the dude can scramble
we need a mobile QB in the ST.L we all no this
get him 3rd rd and draft some weapons like a WR and a RB before him

Get him in the 3rd? And draft WR and RB before that?

So you want:
1. RB or WR
2. WR or RB
3. QB

I’ll bet you a box of Cubans that none of those happen. For good reason.

RB then WR either way we would have to fall down

I just don't understand using the 33rd overall pick on a RB.

Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

why would we do any of that?

a first pick on a rb or wr? can you please tell me who is 1st overall pick worthy? i don’t want to trade down to a get a rb when we have a top 3 back and a wr when we have 3 receivers with potential, even if none of them are top receivers, they still can be good. a 3rd round qb is not how you rebuild a team and college numbers are not the reason to draft a player. we need sam bradford or jimmy clausen and start on the OL and defense. if lagerrette blount is open in the 3rd or 4th round, definitely get him to back up jackson because blount is very underrated but we need an outside linebacker, defensive backs, defensive ends, offensive linemen, tight ends and clausen/bradford more than anything.

Radical lol maybe that is what we need to do

I'm not surprised

He’s the anti-Snead: a prospect who looks worse in static drills than in game situations. Just get to Bradford already.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

snead

is actually a decent pro prospect. he has a strong arm and good size, he just made some EXTREMELY dumb decisions last year but over time, he might actually develop into a good starter.

jevan snead.

has Kyle Boller written all over him. He was a good pro prospect as well just made extremely dumb decisions..Snead is starting to sound like boller to me

by Bralidore on Mar 26, 2010 9:09 AM CDT up reply actions

What are the extremely dumb decisions he made?

And why would he be a good prospect if he makes dumb decisions? (I’m not real familiar with his play)

The stories I read said he locked in on his primary receiver

and insisted on throwing to him even if he was double covered. He didn’t go through his progressions and find the open man. Those were the dumb decisions, I assume.
