Chiefs QB Ricky Stanzi Iowa - Page 4

Hammock Parties · 04-30-2011, 12:00 PM

Height: 6-4 3/8
Weight: 223
Speed: 4.93
Arm: 32
Hand: 10
Wingspan: 77 5/8
Birthdate: 09/03/1987
Hometown: Mentor, OH
Grade: 5.53

Notes: Also earned four letters in basketball as an Ohio prep. Redshirted in 2006. Arrested in May ’07 for underaged possession of alcohol. Saw very limited action in two games in ’07, recording just an interception in four pass attempts. In the fall, started 11-of-13 games (yielded starts to Jake Christensen against Maine and Pittsburgh) and completed 150-of-254 pass attempts (59.1 percent) for 1,956 yards with 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Started all 11 games in which he played in ’09, tossing 171-304-2,417-17-15 (56.3). Missed a pair of games after severely spraining his right ankle against Northwestern and undergoing surgery. Healthy in ’10, started all 13 games and totaled 221-345-3,004-25-6 (64.1). Sprained his left knee in the season opener. Team captain. Had a 26-9 career starting record.

Positives: Outstanding size with a compact, over-the-top delivery. Played in pro-style offense and is very comfortable operating from underneath center. Good footwork and delivery quickness. Has enough arm strength, and it has improved in recent years. Nice footwork. Athletic enough to sidestep the first wave of pressure. Smart, hardworking and is passionate about the game — is wired the right way, works at his craft and has earned the respect of his teammates. Very humble and quietly competitive. Will play through pain.

Negatives: Has a very lean build, is still underdeveloped physically and needs to spend more time in the weight room and get stronger. Does not drive the ball downfield — and some balls die with low RPMs. Can be flustered by pressure and forced into making bad throws. Does not read the whole field or see undercutting safeties — needs to hone his instincts and become more confident anticipating receivers coming open and pulling the trigger. Must improve field vision, anticipation and progression quickness. Could not come through in the clutch and close out tight contests vs. Arizona, Wisconsin and Northwestern when the game was on the line. Did not exude confidence at the Senior Bowl or show well.

Summary: An excellent-sized, pro-style passer who still needs to learn to trust his eyes and get the ball out on time, Stanzi has a strong base from which to develop and could blossom with quality coaching that feeds his confidence. Has appealing intangibles, leadership traits and work habits and most of his flaws are correctable. Has potential to develop into an eventual starter and draws some eerily similar semblance to a young Tom Brady.

NFL projection: Third- to fourth-round pick.

Mel Kiper on the Stanzi pick.

"I like this kid," Kiper said. "I'm not going to say Tom Brady -- Big Ten, No. 12. 6'4", 225 pounds, very accurate in the pocket. He takes snaps from under center. He's pro-style all the way. Veteran of the collegiate ranks. Stayed his whole career there working for Kirk Feretnz getting the job done for the Iowa Hawkeyes. I like the way he improved.

"I didn't like the fourth quarter metldowns. The fourth quarter as a junior was outstanding. Made some big throws. This year he completed only 56.3 percent in the fourth quarter. When you talk about a kid on third down completing 69.2 percent of his passes, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions. Remember Tony Moeaki last year? Stanzi allowed him to be successful there. Good football player. He'll provide competition on Matt Cassel."

As much as I hate Cassel I'm not sold he didn't make a good move there. Detroit wanted Stafford, and it's pretty clear the Jets wanted Sanchez. With everyone trying to move out of the top of that draft I'm not sure we would have landed Sanchez anyway.....

Hard to believe we win 2 freaking games and end up with the 3rd pick that year. Terrible.

Bewbies · 04-30-2011, 02:45 PM

In hindsight the big miss was Freeman, but I don't think too many people saw him developing this quickly.

Red Dawg · 04-30-2011, 02:47 PM

He's a throw back kid that plays with heart, a little anger and purpose. He doesn't like to lose pure and simple.

Fritz88 · 04-30-2011, 03:05 PM

Horrible pick. I am just glad we felt the need to address this position.

Pasta Little Brioni · 04-30-2011, 03:42 PM

Solid selection with a 5th.

I could be very wrong, and I hope I am. But, I really felt his improvement on the INT's happened not because of him, but because of the extremely short leash he was on. Stanzi has made some great plays over his career....And some extremely terrible ones that I can't get over easily.

Jim Zorn will have him throwing TDs & dating a supermodel in no time. No worries.

The naysayers in this thread are ridiculous. You just picked up a guy that many thought was a 3rd rounder. The talent gap is minimal(if at all depending on opinions) between Stanzi and the trio of Dalton,Kaepernick, and Ponder. They went in the top 35 Stanzi went 135.

He isnt missing any tools that are necessary to succeed in the league, has prototypical size, and is a gamer. He continually improved his entire career and has a very good work ethic. He is a PR dream with the media and gained high praise in the locker room. Guy is a film room rat with a high work ethic. Never received proper tutelage in college(Iowas QB coach is a OC who has shown no ability of development in the past). The guys game compares to Tom Brady and he comes from a Pro Style system that translates extremely well to the league and expecially the KC Chiefs. The guys favorite target was Tony Moeaki. High upside and no major weaknesses or character flaws.

This was a great pick and probably has more value at where he was drafted than any other QB. I came on here last year and schooled the naysayers on Moeaki and im doing it again right here. Another great pick for a KC draft class that is turning out to be one of the best in the entire draft.

If he says stupid shit like the comments about hippies and how they aren't going anywhere and doing anything then follows it up with the fact that he didn't vote, then he's not a PR dream. He came off as a moron in that clip.
