http://www.finheaven.com/boardvb2/showthread.php?t=117822 There is my take on him. Right now he is a good mid round prospect, could change.
The NFL advisory council projects Jacobs as a fourth-round pick, but two analysts think he could go higher than that.
“We have Jacobs as a second or third-round choice at this point,†said Rob Rang of nfldraftscout.com. “We feel that Omar will work out well and make a slow, but consistent move up the board as we approach the draft.
“Physically, he has everything you are looking for in a developmental quarterback. He has the size and arm strength. He is a threat to run and can accurately pass while on the move. He throws the deep ball as well as any quarterback in this draft.â€Â
Rang and Scott Wright of nfldraftcountdown.com both have Jacobs ranked the fourth-best quarterback, behind USC’s Matt Leinart, Texas’ Vince Young and Vanderbilt’s Jay Cutler.
“With such a weak crop of seniors after Leinart and Cutler, I could see [Jacobs] moving up [from th fourth round],†Wright said.

would you rather us REACH for him in the mid-2nd?
Or, potentially miss out on him in the mid-3rd?
:D :D :D :D :D
I don't think anyone is set on Brodie Croyle. He has a good set of talent and considered less of a project because of the style of offense he headed in the SEC. I don't really have too great of an opinion on him, but he did catch my eye more than once this season.skimarino13 said:I just became a member today and have read many messages. I was wondering why everyone is so set on brody croyle. Alabama's offense was terrible in the SEC, and he couldnt deal with the rush. With our offensive line, he will have to deal with a huge rush. Im not saying Omar Jacobs from Bowling Green should be our guy, but if he is still there in the 4th-5th round, i would like to take a chance on him. He is a proven college QB, unlike Brody Croyle, who i think didnt do well in college...just wanted to knw ur thoughts
Although I see Jacobs as a solid first-round selection, he probably will not go until the second or third. But whoever lands him will be landing a franchise quarterback.
Spiro Pettas of Athletes First says the agency is providing housing and a car for Jacobs, as well as coordinating his workouts with various coaches and trainers. Other NFL hopefuls with whom Jacobs is working out include Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens, Notre Dame tight end Anthony Fasano, Texas-El Paso linebacker Thomas Howard and UCLA linebacker Spencer Havner.
