Dorsey was a MUCH better prospect coming out and has been developed as a 3-4 end by some of the best in the business.
What I'm trying to make clear as day is that there is NOBODY we can draft that gives us the value that any of the top quarterbacks give us. My preference is Geno Smith because I see him as the total package.
Plus arm
Elite accuracy (to every level of the defense)
Elite vision
Elite work ethic
Plus pocket presence
Plus experience
Played better against ranked teams
His qb rating went up each quarter
His stats improved every year
He has played in a pristine offense and air raid
I am baffled as to why the guy isn't getting a shiton more hype.

Is that accuracy due to the system and playing against Big XII pillow biting defenses?
I don't think he's played much under center for whatever that's worth?
I have read that his mechanics need work too. Frankly I haven't watched WV this season, just playing devils advocate to answer your post as these are things I have read about the dude in a couple places.
I'm skeptical as heck about that Glennon after watching their bowl, he looks like a stiff w/ measurables. No thanks.
Matt Barkley? When I watch him I see a good college QB but nothing about him wows me thinking about the pros.
I like Tyler Bray personally but he ain't a sure thing either. I have seen him a little more this yr than some others. I just think he has a really good arm, makes all the throws you need to in the pros, nice size. I don't think he played as well at UT as he should have just based on pure ability but he still looks like a heck of a prospect. What I mean by that is he makes throws that most guys can't make but then misses on some others. It's mechanics I think. Sometimes they look fine, other times he's not stepping all the way through. Seems easily correctable for a guy like Reid.
I like Tyler Wilson too. Good arm. Again can make all the throws. I think a guy like Reid could maximize his talent similar to Bray.
For me personally I will be (like pretty much all of CP) freaking furious if they don't take a QB high whomever it is. Whether its 1 overall or they manage to move down a little and still get the first one off the board. Whatever.
I am convinced there are no sure things this yr. That to me isn't a reason not draft a guy but it is a reason to not flip out if someone else thinks differently than I do.
