Ruhskins 03-17-2010, 11:28 PM According to the Sporting News, Tebow has five team-specific workouts, and the Redskins is one of those teams.
With improved mechanics, Tebow shows 'he's a quarterback' - Matt Hayes - College Football - Sporting News (http://www.sportingnews.com/college-football/article/2010-03-17/improved-mechanics-tebow-shows-hes-quarterback)
Here's another QB I'm not sold on.
SBXVII 03-17-2010, 11:31 PM I am guessing that you are not high on Campbell and must be star struck by Bradford.
Your points are good ones but if we actually traded Campbell, Carter and our #4 pick for a complete uncertainty along with the #1 pick's contract, the league should step in and start running our team. That scenario is crazy.
No I'm no longer high on Campbell. When we had Brunell and picked up Campbell I was excited. Hearing all the fluff I was hoping we finally had a franchise QB picked late in the first round. Hell we even moved up to get him. After 6yrs and very little improvement I'm pretty much done. Throw in whatever excuse you choose to use "It was the OL", "It was the scheme changes", "It was bad HCing." I don't care, I'm done.
He reminds me of ARE. Paid him a lot of money and he has not lived up to his contract. JC is a very good QB but will never be a franchise QB. If we keep him I'm ok with it. He's servicable. If we get some sort of draft pick for him I'm good with that also. You say I'm not high on JC, your correct, I was at first but have fallen off his bandwagon over time. I was also a Mason fan and have since fallen off his bandwagon.
Am I high on Bradford.... kinda yes. I'm more high on any QB that has more accuracy then JC. What I kept hearing was Bradford has the best accuracy, then McCoy was next but he doesn't have a strong arm for the long passes. While looking up Clausen today, which is why I posted the remarks on him, I was supprised to see he's supposed to be an accurate passer and has the arm to make all the throws. If this is so then I'd be happy with him cause I think Shanahan will check him if his ego gets too big.
Lastly, I'm more interested in QB at #4 or moving up to get which ever QB Shanahan thinks is best for his system because like others have said... this years QB draft pool is limited in talent. Probably the top 3 Bradford, Clausen, McCoy will pan out to be something early on. The rest are questionable and most likely would need time to build their skills. However at OL there is an abundance of talent. Rumor I hear is Okung is good but might not be good in a zone blocking scheme. His lateral movement is not as good as most zone blocking LT's should be. Not that he's not a great LT or should not be listed as the top prospect. It's just the zone blocking LT's are in abundance and are not projected to go in the first round.

I have yet to see a reliable and somewhat trustworthy source on this. Maybe if the pundits were actually talking of the Redskins drafting Okung instead of a QB, there'd be more talk about this.
Okung hands down is the best tackle in the draft, and from what I have read on him it sounds like he would be fine in zone blocking. But if someone finds an analysis that says otherwise, please do share it.

Wrong on soooo many levels!
SmootSmack 03-17-2010, 11:42 PM Should I change this thread title to Will Okung Block for Grossman?
Anyhow

...but I still think we're taking Trent Williams

Why is the KC newspaper quoting our new OT!?!?!?

Well I don't know about Okung being "hands down" the best tackle either. I've seen reports saying Trent Williams is the top prospect. I've saw another that said Bruce Campbell, out of Maryland, is a sleeper and is probably the most "athletic" out of the whole bunch.
I think what's certain is that this draft is fairly deep at the offensive tackle position.

Hey I'm fine with this. Are you basing this on the Warpath's Mock Draft? LOL. (just kidding).
