Schefter- "Barkley Late first-round pick" Smith scouts "aren't completely wowed"

[ChiefsandO'sfan]

ESPN's Adam Schefter stated on Mike & Mike Wednesday morning that USC QB Matt Barkley is viewed around the NFL as a "late first-round pick."
Schefter cited a relatively weak incoming quarterback class as reasons for Alex Smith and Michael Vick to "absolutely" have strong offseason markets. Smith is a trade candidate, while Vick is expected to be released after the Super Bowl. Per Schefter, Heisman finalist Collin Klein is viewed as a "late-round pick," and scouts "aren't completely wowed" by West Virginia QB Geno Smith. Barkley showed underwhelming arm strength as a college senior and was interception prone. We wouldn't be surprised if he fell to the second round

You're right.

Geno really compares to Steve McNair when I think about it...

Geno's release, throwing motion, movements within the pocket, jersey number, 1 glove philosophy, are all different than Tom's.

Really, he's way more similar to Warren Moon.

Agreed

[Mr. Laz]

smith almost reminds me a little of Flacco too


(not talent)

[Mr. Laz]

went back and looked at some Moon Youtube highlights and their deeps balls look very similar

Geno moves far better than Brady, but he grew up watching him and trying to imitate him, IIRC.

I still compare him to Rodgers, because I think he is that capable of beating defenses anywhere n the field.

Lawl. Von Miller is the only LB worth a top 5 pick. There won't be anyone else like him for another 20 years probably.

[Big Smoke]

If we don't get Geno or Wilson I give up.

We are going do draft a fullback 1st overall or something.. smh

Von Miller isn't a "LB".

Pass rushers, whether the play DE or OLB, are ALWAYS worth top 5 picks. That's where you get guys like Derrick Thomas.

I was watching a special on nfl network that featured warren moon and found myself making the comparison. But! Player comparisons are stupid.

I'm stoked! A 1st round QB since 1983. And this time there's a rookie salary cap! Absolutely no risk.

if i was a team in the top 5 that needed pass rush help id absolutely consider Jarvis Jones no matter if its a reach or not.
