Flacco
QB
Delaware |
Flacco
has a very strong arm. In addition, when he decides to
make a throw, his release is very quick. For a big kid,
he moves well in the pocket, ala Ben Roethlisberger. I
believe he has the biggest upside of all quarterbacks in this
draft, although he will need time to catch up to the speed of
the game in the NFL. This is quarterback I would target
in the draft. |

Johnson
QB
San Diego |
While
definitely a great athlete, Johnson is also a good
passer. He is much more than an athlete playing
quarterback. Last year he threw 43 touchdowns and only 1
interception. And, no that is not a misprint. He
also ran for 726 yards (7.2 yards per rush). In
time, Johnson could be what Vick was suppose to be.
Johnson will grow into one of the better quarterbacks in the
NFL. |

O'Connell
QB
San Diego St |
O'connell
is a tall, athletic kid who throws very well on the
move. He will need time to develop but has too much
upside to risk on a team's development squad (where he can be
plucked off by another team). At 6'5", O'connell
ran for 408 yards his senior year. I believe he will be
a Matt Hasselbeck-type of quarterback down the line. |

Johnson
RB
East Carolina |
I
know it's not "football knowledge savvy" to place
too much emphasis on workout numbers, but come on, a 4.24
forty! At the Combine even, not on campus under ideal
conditions. Johnson was a marginal first round selection
before this workout. Since it, analyses have
concentrated on his lack of inside running ability. But
the kid can catch. The kid can run outside. And
the kid may be the fastest player in football. I also
believe he will run inside better than many think. Worst
case, he
can be for a team what the Saints wanted Bush to
be. Johnson may not be an every-down back, but he
will be a very valuable member of a team whether carrying the
ball, or having defenses keeping track of his every move
fearful of him going the distance at any moment. A smart team will grab him in round one. |

Forte
RB
Tulane |
If
I were a GM and needed a full time starting running back, I
would skip drafting any running back not named McFadden in
round one and draft Forte in round two. He is going to
be a top NFL starter. He runs tough, has more speed than
originally believed, and catches the ball very well. He
is the total package. Unfortunately, we may have to wait
a bit to see it because he could be drafted as a backup to an
established starter. |

Choice
RB
Georgia Tech |
Choice
runs tough between the tackles and is a natural running
back. He makes sharp cuts and has good, but not great
speed. At minimum, Choice is the move-the-chains part of
the two-headed running back in vogue in today's NFL.
Best case, he is a full time starter. |

Parmele
RB
Toledo |
Parmele
is a shifty runner with good speed, tremendous athleticism,
and the ability to make people miss. He will be a good
change-of-pace back in the NFL. In a draft deep at
running back, Parmele could fall through the cracks, but he
should have a nice NFL career. |
