Matt Barkley.

I do think he's on the radar a lot more than some others do.

By the way, I agree with this. NFL players have to have a certain base physical skill set. But let's be real here, unless you have ungodly, unique talent like Big Ben does, the biggest predictor of NFL success will be how much work you're willing to put in, how well you respond to coaching, and how well you can lead your team.

Plenty of very talented QBs who were missing one of those three things. Tyler Bray scares me because he's probably missing all 3.

If Andy Reid and John Dorsey thought enough of this kid to take him with the top spot in the first (or with our second rounder as you suggest) we should be pretty excited about the potential because that means they bought into his ability to be a leader.

He has EVERYRHING you could ever hope for from a physical standpoint.

Yep. Reid took a shot on T.O. so character has never been the final say on a player.

I think the biggest question is where do you take him if you want him? I don't think he'll be there at 34.

QB is different. One of Reid's first questions is undoubtedly going to be whether the guy can respond to coaching.

I don't think Bray can. It's what I really don't like about him. I don't care about character, as long as they have a good work ethic and can earn respect from their teammates.

I think Barkley is why they would be willing to trade down.

I agree.

Barkley is not making it out of the top ten. It would be foolish to even contemplate trading down.

He has physical limitations that cause him to not be scheme diverse. I think he is a pure WCO guy in the NFL and therefore could fall farther than some think because of the limited market.

Like any other quarterback prospect though, all it takes is one team to fall in love with you.

I at this point do think Barkley will solidify himself as a top 10 pick.

I think he's going to blow away everyone at the combine and have the best interview of any QB. From what I've heard, this kid is really smart when it comes to X's and O's.

Schefter said this afternoon that he could be taken by us at 1.
