Buyer beware: The 10 riskiest 2010 draft picks
-
Thanks, but I disagree on Tebow.....his teammates will love him.
He might flop, but he won't rip a locker room apart.
Tebow doesn't just talk the talk.....he walks the walk.
They may disagree with his religious slant, but in the end, he is as great a warrior any team can have.....and players respond to that.
-
I like Tebow a lot... First & foremost he's a winner and finds a way to get the job done.... Some players can be coached-up depending on the situation but the two things that can't be taught are speed and that ability to make the play when it counts the most.... Tebow's a playmaker..............
Peace

Totally agree.
If the only way I could take him was in the first round, then I would.
There is no replacement for character, drive, toughness and smarts.

Even if we dont draft a QB everyone will want to see what the guy on the bench can do. But this list may have sopmething to do with players character, I dont want us to draft a BR type of guy who will cotinually make the news for stupid shit.

here's a really interesting take on a few guys from Josh Mcdaniels. Im really liking what he says about McClain, even Bryant doesnt sound like that bad of an option
On Alabama LB Rolando McClain:
"I'm not sure I've met a young man as intelligent relative to the game of football than Rolando McClain. He's obviously been well coached but even if you're coached well, it takes another side to get to where he's at. He's obviously done a lot of listening, studying and understands the game at a level where most kids that come in as rookies will never be at. That's a credit to the work he's done at Alabama and the way he's been coached. He has a very bright future ahead of him."
On Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant:
"I think you need to be careful confusing character issues with some people who have made some mistakes. This guy has never been arrested, never had a drinking issue, never done anything to put himself in that position. I think he's made a few mistakes that he wishes he hadn't made but I think there's a difference. You can say, well, this guy has made a couple mistakes that have been really glorified, and make a big deal of it and all of a sudden turn him into a really bad kid. That's the farthest thing from the truth relative to (Bryant). We enjoyed our visit with him. He did everything we asked him to do. He had a smile on his face and he did everything well. I'll tell you this, he's on our board. There's no question. I know there are other teams that may have taken him off their board, but he is not one of the players who is off our board."
On Tennessee DL Dan Williams:
"The thing we think about Dan is that he's got what we would call a play radius that's a little different than some (nose tackles), meaning he can make tackles over there on the sideline. We've kind of gone back and forth on it -- (he) could even play (defensive) end because he's that athletic. We've done our work and our research on him, and he's a player that I think is going to go probably somewhere right around where we pick, there's no question about it. But we do have an interest in Dan Williams. He is a good player, he is a good kid and we think that that would be a possibility."
On Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon:
"Sean Weatherspoon, the linebacker from Missouri, was very impressive. He's a bright kid. Every way -- name it and he was impressive. His knowledge of his system, his ability to retain our system, his interaction with our coaches. That was great."
On Florida QB Tim Tebow:
"Tebow, he's everything that you guys have ever read or written about a player like that. He was extremely impressive. You look at the tape, and the only thing that you can say about the tape that isn't flattering or very impressive is that he dips the ball a hair. He has already fixed that. I think that's something that you can fix through repetition. He's already done it, he proved that at his pro day. Everything else that you're watching on film is accurate, tough, smart, good leader, versatile, can move out of the pocket, can move in the pocket, can run with the ball. This guy scored. What is he, the third-leading passer all-time and the leading scorer in rushing touchdowns over Herschel (Walker). There are so many things that you can say about the kid. Then, to top that all off, he's every bit the person that you read about before you got the chance to meet him. He's very enthusiastic, wants to work hard, smart, bright, one of the smarter players I've ever been around in terms of coming out of college."
1st Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU 3rd Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State4th Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma5th Earl Wolff, S, N.C. State6th Lucas Reed, TE, New Mexico -
I would draft Tebow in the late twenties and after... I think the kid could be great.
He keeps reminding me of Charlie Frye - Tebow has a stronger arm.
I don't diss a player for NOT being religious, etc, so it's hard to say that Tebow is a pain because
he is.
Seems like he was very popular with his teammates, and never held it against anybody if they believed differently.
If Tebow was there for the Browns in the second round, I'd do a happy dance when they draft him.

right, but we don't want to draft someone above their projected value just because he has great 'character'. i've hated on tebow and mccoy in this whole pre-draft schmooz. i'm starting to take a shining to both. but pleeeeez enough with the love fest. didn't we have a quinn/andersen meltdown for the last couple of years? we know tebow is a great humanitarian and mccoy is a texan (nuff said) but these guys are just one of many that we need to fill the gaps in 'our' squad. don't break out your stuff and call in the measuring stick when you haven't had your ridilin yet..........those days are yet to come. IN HOLMGREN I TRUST!!!

Who the hell is Josh Daniels and what has he done in the Nfl that makes his word gold these are a few of the players that might be a little overhyped and worth to stay away from. in my opinion
"We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever. -

I didnt say his word was gold I said he had an interesting opinion. He's not the only one to say McClain is one of the smatest football players he's ever seen. And he had an interesting take on Bryant about never being arrested, no alcohol or drugs problems etc.
Oh yea who the hell is cdl15 and what has he done in the NFL for anybody to care about his opinion...........you aint gotta be a dick about it

Staying on the topic of risky players, im really warming up to Perrish Cox in the 3rd. He ran a slow 40 and was suspended in the Bowl game for violating curfew but watcing him play he looks like a 1st rd. talent.
Watch him againt A.J Green, one of the best WR's in college football, and he can contribute on ST. If he ran a better 40 and had no character concerns we might be talking about him being the 2nd corner taken in the draft. Going againt Dez Bryant in practice everyday isnt a bad thing either.
Also he has good size so he looks like he could be a good safety prospect if it dont work out at corner
