Crompton is slower, way less accurate, and just wasn't that good. He played in a pro style offense which is the only check you'd put in his column over McCoy.

 

Putting guys like Skelton, Brown, and Crompton over McCoy is over thinking it. Jarrett Brown? Really?

 

McCoy's faster than Crompton and was more productive, but he also had vastly more talent than Crompton and was playing in an offense very conducive to a high completion % – lots of screens and slants in the games I watched. I question whether McCoy has a strong enough arm and how many reads he can go through. Crompton has nearly all the physical skills you can want – very strong arm, decent mobility, accurate when playing well – but he was very unproductive, partially due to lack of talent around him, partially because he just struggles with the game mentally. I couldn't really argue putting McCoy over Crompton, but I don't think the gap is huge.

 

As for Brown, I like his strong arm and his plus mobility. He's a heavy developmental guy, but I think he has far more upside than McCoy. Skelton is similar to Crompton, but he was more productive in college.

Oh man, would the Chiefs take another DB for a value like Burnett? Flowers, Carr, Arenas, Berry, and Burnett is a pretty incredible secondary.

Skelton completed 64% of his passes with a 26:10 TD:INT ratio. He's also 6-5. McCoy is 3 inches shorter and, while he had a 70% completion percentage, he threw for a full yard less per attempt.

 

Brown's 2 inches taller than McCoy and completed 63% of his passes. Similar ypa to McCoy, but from all I've seen and read, a stronger arm and, I think, more upside.

This Pete Carroll clown just sentenced his former WR Damian Williams to the Canadian Football League by selecting Golden Tate over him.

 

you've been holding that joke for a while haven't you?

 

I think Pete saw Tate catch a TD and then look down upon the remains of Taylor Mays after a pathetic shoulder tackle attempt and knew he had to have him. Or maybe it was the TD in the corner that Mays was too slow to get to that convinced him. Hard to say.

Correct. And Joe Flacco was very good at Delaware. Those stats shouldn't be dismissed if the player has the physical attributes conducive to succeeding in the NFL.

If you want to say Skelton put up good numbers and has good measurables that make him a worthy prospect, that's fine. But to say, "well Skelton has a better YPA than McCoy", that's where the usefulness of those numbers ends.

 

 

Asamoah, that's a pretty good pick.

I don't really like many QBs in this draft after Bradford/Clausen. Because of that, I'm looking for upside out of the QBs after Clausen.

Yeah, comparing them head to head is hard and I probably shouldn't have worded it that way. I was primarily trying to point out that Skelton was productive in college.

 

Very similar numbers overall to Flacco, actually. More INTs, slightly better completion %.

Golden and Jimmy will always look back with fondness on the one good quarter of football Notre Dame played against USC while they were enrolled there.

I get the feeling if Mardy Gilyard is there for either Titans pick, they'll take him. I've heard they were interested in a receiver and in a return man (definitely the latter) and Gilyard would fit both. I'd like that.

I still want Gilyard for Carolina though I would be shocked if he fell that far at this point. He'd be a nice pick for a team needing WRs right now.
