YoloinOhio Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) I don’t think mcsorley is an nfl QB but he’s a hell of a competitor and athlete. He was a big time recruit as a safety but penn st let him play QB and he was a good (sometimes very good) college qb... his nfl potential though, I believe, lies elsewhere. He was already asked to work out at WR at the combine. I think he has Edelman qualities. I would not mind using a 6th on him. I hated him as an osu fan but the kid is a (sorry for the cliche) “football player” ... thoughts? I was watching “Hey Rookie Welcome to the NFL” tonight and he is on (along with Metcalf) - good stuff Edited April 24, 2019 by YoloinOhio 3 1
Captain_Quint Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I enjoyed watching him play whenever a PSU game was on, definitely a competitor. And probably not an NFL Qb. I could see his role being like that guy on the Saints (#7?) who played QB, halfback, wildcat, receiver, etc.
MrEpsYtown Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I actually love McSorely. Honestly, I'd spend a seventh on him and try to make him a safety. He's smart and played a lot of DB in high school. It would be a project, but the dude is a football guy. If you look at his combine testing numbers, they are all on par with Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, size, 40, length etc etc. I'd love to have him on our team and I think a safety conversion makes a lot of sense. 1
YoloinOhio Posted April 24, 2019 Author Posted April 24, 2019 Even though I don’t think the Bills have drafted a penn state guy since Pegula bought the team, I keep reminding myself of that connection.... and you know they had to have loved McSorley 2
wppete Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 He’s definitely tough, athletic and quick. Not sure what his 40time is but I would take a chance in the 6th or 7th. He’s a football player. Try WR or S.

Lowered his shoulder and sheer will. Not a big guy but thick lower body. 1

TigerJ Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 He has gadget player potential. You could use him in the slot or in the backfield. I think the potential of having a player besides the QB who is able to throw the ball is really hard on defenses. Best case scenario, I could see him as a Julian Edelman like receiver who could also throw an handful of passes during the season to gain some big chunk plays against defenses who weren't expecting it. The question is, does he have the talent to do something like that? I don't know the answer. 1

I don’t know but they drafted some real yahoos last year in the 6th and 7th like Ray ray and that proehl kid who didn’t even make it out of camp. I’d rather take a player like this. 1
Mat68 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) No. I'm a Penn St fan and he has been borderline terrible since his Sophomore year. The Oline has improved, his Wr option have been good, the running game has been fantastic, he is a 50% passer. Solid college Qb his accuracy and arm strength are below average and he has a small frame. I think he is a camp arm. Possible P.S option for a team if they are a spread style team. If Arizona does go Murray he would make alot of sense as a back up. He has stated that he is only a QB. Edelman and others wanted to be professional football players. Seems like Mcsorley wants to be a pro Qb. If he went to the combine and did the wrs drills and caught passes the Edelman arguement would be fine. Hes done nothing of the sort.

Playoffs? Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Definitely in for 6th or 7th on Trace. Kid is a gamer.

DCOrange Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I would rather take guys that have shown they can be productive NFL WRs rather than taking a QB and hoping he can learn a new position. This WR class is just way too deep to consider McSorley as a WR. Probably at least 40 WRs I’d take before him.
Doc Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 If you want a kid who looks like he could be another Edelman, check out Easton Stick.

BruceVilanch Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Just draft him as an ATH like college kids get tagged as, the kid loves football and he is a fierce competitor. I would throw a 7th on him because someone will claim him as a UDFA.

If he insists on being a QB and lets it be known, assume teams will do their homework, and he will go undrafted. I think the potential that fans see in him as a WR/W/gadget player is what NFL teams see. I think everybody agrees as a QB he's not very good.
