  • While I'm not as impressed on tape as Tour is with Petty (is footwork does sharpen up quite a bit in some instances, but its his eyes and head that worry me) the gleam he gets when talking about the QB position. That's a natural leader I'd be willing to follow. You might be surprised how much that means in a huddle.

    Well said. It means a ton Tia.

    I get the impression a lot of concerns people have with him can be corrected via coaching and experience. He's an intriguing prospect; but there needs to be an element of patience early on. That's the thing about the QB position and this draft. I'm worried about us reaching for him with our 19th pick when we can prolly snag him in round 2 or so. The last time we drafted a Big 12 QB in round 1 (Weeden) - we swung from our ass and missed while bargains like Russell Wilson and Nick Foles landed on other teams' door steps.

    is there really that much of a difference between grayson, petty and hundley?

    as far as confidence and being able to lead a team i think they all have that.

    check one.

    the physicality of each, aren't the pretty much the same size with grayson being the smaller of the 3?

    now the athletic ability is where there might be a difference but it would depend on what the franchise that drafts these players are looking for.

    if everyone thinks that winston and mariota are the only game in town this year they are highly mistaken.

    I think Petty and Hundley both possess that leadership aspect, while Grayson may be sliiiightly more quick-minded on the field.

    I would not mind Petty in round 2, but I'd be much happier to get him in Round 3.

    I was high on MM last year and still like him over any of the others. I compare his low key boring demeanor to russell Wilson and I think he is all business like Wilson too. He should be successful at the Next level.

    But I see some value in petty in the mid rounds. 6'3 230 is a nice frame. But how quickly is he going to pick up the offense or can he is the biggest factor. But I fully expect the browns to take a look at him and trade back into the late 2nd round to land petty if they like what they see.
