Nobody knows his draft projection?
Roman529 said:As an ASU grad I have watched a lot of Sun Devil games.....in person and also most of their PAC-10 games on TV...I would love to be a big Andrew Walter fan, but the guy is incredibly slow....he CANNOT move around the pocket well, and he does not have good foot work....he is tall and has a nice arm, but if you put pressure on him he goes down...he won't be half the player that Jake the Snake Plummer was coming out of ASU....If he is taken I would not take him before the 5th round. Sorry just my honest assessment as an ASU grad and fan.

He is coming off a season ending injury and wasn't really able to work out much pre-draft which obviously hurt his stock, but it is NOT a season ending injury and he will be available, at the latest by the start of training camp. When you are talking about grooming a guy to be the "the man" in a couple of years, not right away, this is really not very important, if important at all. What IS important is that Walter is 6'6 230 with a gun for an arm, an extremely impressive college resume, a quick release and underrated mobility. He will not be mistaken for Michael Vick any time soon, but he does run a 4.83 40 and he can move around in the pocket and his footwork is pretty solid. He IS a classic drop back passer but he has better athletic ability and gets rid of the ball quicker than a Bledsoe or a Brian Griese. He was a gun slinger in college that put up big time passing numbers but also avoided interceptions and was very, very acurate. Although he needs a little work on his technique and some refinement in his game, he has the tools to be better than Aaron Rodgers or Alex Smith. After watching him on tape, I just see a guy that is going to be a pro bowler in this league and a charismatic young man who can be a leader on and off the field. His attitude, talent, and the fact that he should be available in the late 2nd or early 3rd round, in my mind, makes him an extremely attractive prospect that I will be VERY dissapointed if Saban doesn't make a move for on draft day.

A mobile QB allows for broken plays without a surefire sack. They can also run on designed plays.
Andrew Walter is a young Drew Bledsoe at best. He has the same qualities...tall, big arm, statuesque
plus, with Walter, who actually knows when his shoulder will be 100%?
good thing that the main guys that recently played under Linehan, Saban, and Houck were mobile guys. Culpepper, Brees, Marcus Randall, JaMarcus Russell, even Matt Mauck could scramble, albeit not as well as Randall or Culpepper. The lone exception really is Frerotte, who is a pocket passer.
A pocket passer for this offense right now would be big, whether it Campbell, Frye, Smith, Rodgers, McPherson, whoever.
If the line collapses, these guys can get outside the pocket and run, picking up first downs in the process.

Hostile7 said:There's been a rush of Andrew Walter threads and it's sad. It's sad because he's not any good. The guy was projected to be a top contender for QB in 05 and blew it. He's very inaccurate (at all), forces to many throws, poor mechanics, up and down his whole career and he's coming off a major injury.
SCall13 said:McNabb is a pocket passer. Yeah, he can run. But he is not THAT mobile. He can move. Vick got to the playoffs -the NFC Championship, but I'd be surprised if he wins a SB. Good defenses realize that stopping his running means beating the Falcons. Vick can't beat you through the air. I'll take a passing, pocket QB with good pocket quickness any day over a scrambler.
