QB Projections in The 2010 NFL Draft

1st Round  -  Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame *Jr  6-2 1/2  220 Clausen has no reason to come back to South Bend, other than Michael Floyd still being there. He will be the first QB off the board.  Teams who may draft a QB in the first round include the Browns, Raiders, Rams and Seahawks. 

 Mid-Late 1st Round            -  Tony Pike QB Cincinnati Sr 6-5 1/2  220  - Great thrower of the football. Can take a little off his throws.  Can make many different types of throws.  Throws well on the move and throws a great deep ball.  Underated prospect who could start as a rookie. Great instincts for the position. Some may question his arm strength, similiar to Canfield in being a pure passer.

  1st/2nd Round       -      Ryan Mallet  QB Arkansas RS Soph 6-7 239 Oozes NFL on every throw.  Very good feet and movement skills for a QB of any size/stature. The way he plays makes you forget he is 6'7".  Very Athletic with a Cannon of an arm.  

    2nd/3rd Round  - Sean Canfield QB Oregon State 6-4 1/4  215  A great Senior season has propelled his stock.  Best pure passer in the draft who played under a great QB Tutor in Mike Riley.  Played under center more than 50 % of his snaps which is a huge bonus. Has shown he has enough arm. 

3rd Round  - Jonathan Crompton 6-3  NFL combine will be huge for him.  Playing in a pro style system.  Has handled adversity very well.  Highly touted coming out of HS. Has a strong arm and had a great senior year, but is far from a finished product.  May be looked upon as a "project" type of prospect.

5th-6th Round   -  Colt Mccoy  QB Texas  6-1 1/4 207  Undersized signal caller who makes plays but lacks ability to manipulate defenders and work from under center. Those two weaknesses have discouraged NFL people.  McCoy will turn out to be your classic Heisman Winner turned NFL Bust.  His Accuracy, Arm Strength and Field Vision are all just average at the College level. This kid does not translate well to the Next Level.
