Brohm Advocates: Sell me on picking him with 17 or 35.

I wouldn't take him at 17, but I'd think long and hard at 35. The injuries are the only negative I can see. He's got a strong arm, he's accurate, he's smart (in the regular sense and in football terms). It's kind of odd, in a way, that we're talking about him in this way; a year ago most people seemed to assume he'd be the number 1 pick in '08.

I don't think the Croyle comparison is necessarily a good one, in terms of play. I just don't see Brohm making the kind of mistakes we've seen from Croyle, the forced throws, the almost Jake Plummer level gaffs.

The injuries are a concern however, whether they came on fluke plays or not.
