More reviews trickling in:

Quarterback:

Winners:
Pat White, West Virginia - The lack of credit White is getting at quarterback is bordering on ridiculous. Even without the great 40 (4.55) and other measureables, White was the best thrower in the 2nd group of quarterbacks today. He displayed accuracy and arm strength building upon an excellent Senior Bowl week and Meineke Car Care Bowl. It is time for people to stop talking about his decision to not workout at wide receiver and start evaluating him as a quarterback. He is the 4th best quarterback in the draft and would be higher if he was taller (Michael Vick was also only 6'). Call him the a wildcat novelty if you want but he looks more and more like a quarterback every time I see him play.

Josh Freeman, Kansas State - NFLN did viewers a huge disfavor by not showing his workout but early word is he showed a tremendous arm and has ideal height. He could be working his way into the end of round 1.

Stephen McGee, Texas A&M - If you are looking for a sleeper QB, McGee might be your guy. He did not play much this year due to a shoulder injury but he is a great athlete (4.66 40) and had a nice day throwing the football today.

Curtis Painter, Purdue - Did a nice job throwing the ball during his workout and may have shown enough to get drafted after a sub-par senior season.

Losers:
Mark Sanchez, USC - Early word is Sanchez did a good job in the interviews but his decision to throw did not improve his stock. It was as if Sanchez was pressing during the throwing drills as he had too much mustard on his short throws and overthrew several passes including an out and post corner. The arm strength, footwork and motion were there but the accuracy was not. It was not a terrible performance but it was not the type of workout you expect from a guy who is trying to be the the overall #1 pick. Despite the struggles, Draft101 Chief Scout Dan Wernery still thinks Sanchez will get taken in the top 10 on draft day.

Nate Davis, Ball State - Like Freeman NFLN did viewers a disfavor by not showing his workout but the lack buzz afterward is not a good sign. On the plus side, the early word is he showed good arm strength during his workout.
