QB is a lot like pitching in baseball, as far as size goes.

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Jan 2 '14, 14:11

sure, a 5 foot 9 guy can pitch, but the guy who is 6 foot 5 with less talent will likely get drafted before the small guy.

I am not saying it is right, it is just the way that it is.

Responses:

It is but Billy Wagner still went #12 in the draft despite being a midget from Ferrum, whatever that is. -- nm - David Jan 2, 14:23 17
- The point is that a guy who finished first and fifth in the Heisman is probably that rare exception. - David Jan 2, 14:24 5
  - put yourself in the team drafting him's shoes. - groiny Jan 2, 14:26 4
    - I have. It's a swing for the fences. - David Jan 2, 14:28 3
      - Given his maturity issues, I'd take Bridgewater over him. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 14:33 1
        
        I'm not sure Bridgewater is going to wind up being the consensus #1 pick. - David Jan 2, 14:37
      - That very well might be the way he sneaks into there, because they are all desperate for QB. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 14:30
- and he was lefty, to boot, which is an automatic bump up as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 14:23 9
  - Manziel gets the 10k yards in 2 seasons of SEC football bump. - David Jan 2, 14:26 8
    - and you know how hard it is for any college player to adjust to the pro game - groiny Jan 2, 14:28 7
      - Oh, he's a massive risk and I'm on record as saying I think his body will break down. - David Jan 2, 14:30 6
        
        teams are expected to hit home runs when you draft 1,2,3 for sure, and maybe even up to 5. - groiny Jan 2, 14:34 1
        
        Final grading rarely happens before 6 weeks prior to the draft. - David Jan 2, 14:42
        
        I would trade down and amass a couple picks for it. - groiny Jan 2, 14:31 3
        
        In the case of Cleveland, they already have multiple first round picks because of Richardson. - David Jan 2, 14:34 2
        
        see, that might make some sense, but did they not also get killed on Quinn? -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 14:34 1
        
        They got killed worse when they had all of Atlanta's picks in the Julio trade then wound up with Brandon Wheedon at QB. - David Jan 2, 14:44
- well, he was also hitting 103 on the radar gun at the time. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 14:23
