I don't think that Smoot is saying that these guys like Skelton, etc are going to become huge stars and especially not overnight, just interesting prospects/projects. Nobody drafts a starter late and he knows that.
If this was 1986, we could draft Skelton in the 6th round and he'd be winning a SB for us under Gibbs 5 years later...I'm not a QB coach, but I ain't no dummy either. I've seen more tape of these guys than most people get the opportunity to. Plus I'm lucky enough to speak to people with tremendous knowledge on the subject. Skelton isn't a good fit for this offense and he has to work on his attitude and his accuracy, but with his size it's hard not to be intrigued. I've said before he's intriguing but wouldn't be a good fit here. Love watching Robinson at OK State, not a good fit here. Think Snead had a really rough year but has a lot of ability to-under the right coaching-potentially be a solid NFL QB in a year or two.
But to me if Bradford is there at #4 you take him, if he's not and Clausen is there you strongly consider it. And if you take neither there's really no one worth taking at QB before round 4 or 5
I'm not sold on LeFevour nor am I really on Colt McCoy. I liked McCoy better last year when his name was Chase Daniel.
