I like this guy and I watched a lot of his games last year. He is a damn good accurate QB over 66% completions and his deep ball is amazing. Very smart. Always looks off the safety. He also has scrambling ability. But, he is a pure pocket passer. Here is some of his highlights from last year. Enjoy! I think he would be prefect for the Dolphins. Fire away.
So many teams are counting on Grier to be there in the 3rd / 4th, someone will snag him late 2nd round.
I don't think he's elite either. He looks decent to me, but agree Miami needs an elite quarterback. That said, wouldn't mind taking a flyer somewhere around round 4 on a developmental qb who could exceed expectations, or at the least give the team a solid backup. Finley or Stick could fit that.Let me make it a little clearer for your so you can answer each one:
1. Grier is 24+ years of age and you never want to get a QB who is that old on draft day. That is enough to scrap him from the list of draftable quarterbacks. We do not want him, we do not need him.
2. Grier is not in the elite class of quarterbacks because of non-elite arm talent. He made very few elite passes in college and has trouble zipping it far.
That coupled with #1 makes him a scratch from the big board. That's not enough for you?
3. Grier's frame is also not ideal, at 6-2, 215 & he took too many sacks in college, which is a bad combination -- less than ideal frame, sacks, and not elite arm talent is a bad combo. How many red flags would you like to take before you scratch him off the board?!?
4. Grier does not have elite athleticism so we can say okay, we will sacrifice some performance because he is an elite athlete.
How many red flags are enough?!?
The Dolphins need an ELITE quarterback!!!! That is the only type of quarterback that will do!!! Not risks!!! Not in ANY ROUND!
Doesn't have an NFL arm. Would rather go a different direction for a developmental prospect.
Yeah his velocity on throws is concerning. CK has brought this up many times. Particularly, when watching the Senior Bowl. He was trying to zip the ball all the time and just could not do it. One thing I will say, at UF he overcame the moron of a coach in McElwain and produced in his time there. He had to improvise alot in that system, but I never saw him really push the ball down the field. I think he has the mental game, but his arm strength is troubling.Grier is 24+ years of age and you never want to get a QB who is that old on draft day.

One thing to like about Grier is that he is a gangsta, scores a ton, and throws it deep. The problem is, the ball often hangs in the air.
Will Grier is not a first round quarterback, and the Dolphins have no need for any player who is not first round value, let alone a QB who is not elite, first round value.
In this draft the Dolphins should move up and get an elite quarterback.

Grier put on a passing clinic at his pro day.
