HankBulloughMellencamp Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Gruden's QB Camp is must-see draft prep ... (random thoughts on each guy, for what it's worth) Ryan Mallett has taken a lot of abuse, but has the best physical tools to potentially one day be in the Manning/Bledsoe/Rivers mold. His arm is unsurpassed, and 6'7" is a huge advantage to QB decision-making in the NFL. Mallett has thrived in a pro offense, and its hard to argue that he did not handle that level of responsibility quite well. Wonderlic score aside, Mallett was chomping at the bit at the whiteboard, ready to dissect whatever the defense shows. He has a competitive fire, and really seems motivated to silence his critics. Andy Dalton was also very impressive, and I bet there are ~30 teams who wouldn't mind adding him to their QB corps if possible. He certainly appears as the most NFL-ready guy to play from day one. At the whiteboard, Dalton was comfortable and confident - even telling Gruden he would have whatever blitz he threw at him picked up. He seems to have solid leadership ability, and its hard to argue with what he did in his 4 years to get TCU back on the map with a big Rose Bowl win against Wisconsin. Cam Newton has loads of charisma and all the physical things you just can not coach, but I am not convinced he can come in and command an NFL offense of veterans anytime soon. When put on the spot, he could not even come up with a college play call ... it seemed like he just knew the plays at Auburn by the numbers called in from the sideline. Not impressed, I really needed to see much more for a potentially #1 overall, $30+ million investment. His mechanics are not bad, but I still question how well he has had to read things beyond choice #1. In a nutshell, I say he's Vince Newton. Jake Locker was quite interesting physically, although I think early NFL success will require a good landing spot. He's got some Fitzpatrick in him. He showed a lot of toughness, but we all know you can't wear down an NFL defense with your running ability for very long. Mike Vick has even evolved. RoJo and Trent had good scrambling ability that was a weapon early on, but both were reduced to scaredy-cats after taking a few too many licks. That being the case, he's a gamer, but I am not sold on his overall accuracy. Wouldn't kick and scream if he were our second rounder, but he won't last that long. Blaine Gabbert is an enigma to me ... great physical tools, but what did he really do @ Missouri that was so special? Beat Illinois and Kansas? He was the most laid-back guy, and did not show a ton of that 'leadership' type of personality needed to be able to lead grown NFL men right away ... you could say RoJo was also sorta like that, and it was actually part of his un-doing by the time it was all said and done. I only wish Gruden invited Christian Ponder on the show as well. I really think the Bills secretly love Ponder, and will try to grab him and groom him under Fitzy if they can. They took him for a nice test-ride at the Senior Bowl, and reports are that he has always carried himself like a pro. I favor a late first or 2nd round guy to develop versus investing our #3 overall - we need a Von Miller or Marcell Dareus (or even Peterson if he is that good) and can NOT afford a premium whiff like Mike Williams or Maybin.
JinWPB Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Just watched the show with all the QB's haven't, watched the individual episodes yet. Very telling, gotta love Gruden. Cam sure comes across as a one year wonder gimmick player, Gabbert does remind me of a certain surfer dude,Mallet looks like a head case, But Dalton and Locker did show a little. Add Ponder to that list of three in the 2nd and I'd be real happy. Edited April 24, 2011 by JinWPB

respk Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Don't like Newton at all. Big risk, and I don't believe he will become the next manning or brady. Not worth it. I really like Ponder at #34 as long as the Nix/Gailey think he can be the next Kelly. If they could trade down and get Mallet mid first round, that would work as well. Who cares if the guy can add 2+2 and get 5. Can he read a defense and can he play football. Very few QBs, if any, present as the sharpest tack in the box except on the field. As Nix has stated right now would be a great time to draft a QB to groom over the next 1 to 2 years. Fitz has proven he can be serviceable and he might even get better. If they can get a QB outside of #3 that can be better I think they should. Gruden's QB Camp is must-see draft prep ...

Chandler#81 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Good post OP! I agree with your asesments. Can't understand some posters hate for Gruden. I love his enthisiasm and his love of the game! I can see where a character like him could wear out his welcome over time, but he's a refreshing alternative to the typical staid coach/football expert.
Lofton80 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Based on the clips I saw, I would be concerned about picking Newton, the Auburn offense seemed pretty elementary compared to the pro game. Mallett was pretty impressive. Call him a head case, slow footed, etc. Bottom line, the guy makes the big time throws required by NFL quarterbacks. If Mallett miraculously falls to round 2, I say take him.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Afetr Watching Gruden's camp i say "sign Gruden as our coach!" Or pay him in an advisory capacity for which QB to draft.

As much as I would rather see the Bills try to trade down it would not surprise me if they drafted Gabbert. Even though Buddy Nix has always been a straight shooter when discussing players and I take with the proverbial grain of salt what is said leading up to the draft, I found it interesting about them having had Gabbert rated highly all along. Then there was Gailey's statement about waiting to draft a QB of the future and if you do it's too late. A drafted QB would have time to learn behind Fritz who will be a FA and could possibly leave for greener pastures elsewhere. This has been the Bills MO in the past, draft a player to replace a player you think might not be around next year. Or the Bills might be of the opinion that there is no QB on their roster right now that they believe can win them a Super Bowl. The thought of drafting Ponder is a nice thought but what happens if he's gone by our second pick? Many teams have been burned by if-comes. Again I remember Nix saying if you have a conviction on a player (in reference to trading down) you don't take a chance of him being there at that pick, you take him. Extend that mindset to the third pick. If the Bills have a conviction on Blaine Gabbert, he will be the pick.

NewEra Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 After he conducted the interviews Amd watched them on the field, gruden said he liked newton as the best of the bunch. I don't have the link, but it was posted in another thread. I think all of them have a chance to succeed, as is the case most years. A "chance" to succeed.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Afetr Watching Gruden's camp i say "sign Gruden as our coach!" Or pay him in an advisory capacity for which QB to draft. Gruden never drafted a QB that has had success in the pros. And I agree with this idea. A 30 minute tv segment is much more important than 14 games against the best college competition in the country.

I favor a late first or 2nd round guy to develop versus investing our #3 overall - we need a Von Miller or Marcell Dareus (or even Peterson if he is that good) and can NOT afford a premium whiff like Mike Williams or Maybin. I agree with a lot of what you said..(which doesn't happen often on here!)..I also favor a QB in the 2nd round and saw some of the Gruden/QB program you mentioned on ESPN2. I probably only saw 15 min. of it, but it still gave me insight to some degree on a few of these guys!I agree about Marcell Dareus or Von Miller (not so much w/Peterson..even though I agree he is very talented..just not much buzz factor there even though that's not the point of a team's selection..) My favorite QB choice would be Colin Kaepernick in the 2nd as I just love everything that I read and see on him. Jake Locker is interesting and has a strong arm along with Kaepernick and Mallett. Mallett is interesting, and I have to figure if his personal problems/potential drug use would merit exclusion? Dalton is intersting but not as high on my list as the other 3. Now, some of this comes down to personal preference and who you form a sportfan like bond with at least to some degree, and I just have not formed that like for C. Ponder! It's probably not even justified, but I have no interest in him and only have marginal knowledge of his accomplishments. The things I have heard about him is that he is often injured and struggles to sense the presence of pocket pressure or realizing where the pressure is coming from which leads to his continual battle with injuries. I know that he has battled injuries and played with some as well. One of my 2011 NFL Draft guides actually compare him as they do all your higher rated players with Trent Edwards in his abiilities and performance. That alone for me was the end of the road which seemed as like a deadend before I started to travel down it and explore! So the first two picks I anticipate the Bills will select are not really my favorites but on Von Miller's part I'm okay with it as I recognize the talent, but with Ponder, I hope the Bills ponder a little harder and decide to seek their QB of the future elsewhere!!!

Extend that mindset to the third pick. If the Bills have a conviction on Blaine Gabbert, he will be the pick. I just hope according to Nix's theory that they don't have a strong enough conviction in Ponder that they would draft him at #3 thinking he may possibly be gone by the 2nd round! Playing the other side of that coin is that if the Bills don't have a strong enough conviction of Ponder to make that reach then they have no business drafting Ponder in the second round because all they would be doing is admitting that he is not as talented as Gabbert or Newton! Personally I don't like that Ponder gets injured often and easily, and struggles sometimes to identify pocket pressure until it's too late. The closest comparison some of my NFL 2011 Draft publications make of Ponder is to of all QB's............Yes, you got it...Trent (Captain checkdown!) Edwards !!! No Thanks.. If I'm going to take a chance in the 2nd it's with Colin Kaepernick who set NCAA records with his combined run/pass total yards and had high numbers for at least two years and a good interception/td ratio as well. He probably has the strongest arm of all QB's followed by Mallett, Locker, and Newton. A QB coach that trained and worked with both Cam Newton and Colin kaepernick said something to the effect that Kapepernick was the better athlete of the two, and ahead as far as his ability to perform in an NFL offense. He said many other things in Kaepernick's favor as well and is my hands down pick of choice for QB. And to backup how I feel even though it doesn't carry any weight in the Bills front office..lol..but if need be I would select Colin Kaepernick in the first round if detected a strong potential that someone late in the first or early second round might grab him before us!
BuffaloBill Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I am watching Gruden and Newton right now. He is not impressive. Yes he has the physical tools but does not look to have the mental ability nor the desire.
PDaDdy Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Take away the Offense he HAD to run at Missouri and that Kid is the consensus #1 overall Pick...If he went to Florida St or USC he would be #1 Overall and there would not be any question about it... Before you get in defensive mode, I like Gabbert but I don't think he would be in the discussion anywhere near the top of the first round if Luck came out. 3rd guy off the board in the middle or end of the first? SURE! If Gabbert played at a more competitive school in a tougher conference would he really have looked as good? The level of talent he was running and throwing against would have been better as well. I am just not sure what it is that everyone sees that truly distinguishes this guy from the other QBs not named Newton. Before you say it I am not really a Newton guy. He is a gamble. He could be great if he learns how to play NFL QB. He does have absolutely EVERYTHING you could ever want in a QB except....well....being a polished QB. That guy has a LOT to learn about complex plays and reading a defense. Edited April 24, 2011 by PDaDdy

Pete Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 "Manning/Bledsoe/Rivers mold." um which of the 3 does not belong? I don't even understand the comparison. Mallet does remind me a little of Bledsoe- big arm, needs all day, not the best decision maker,unathletic and immobile. No thank you
Maddog69 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 After watching all of the episodes, I'll gladly take Gabbert at 3. And then address D line and LB
