Kevin Kolb
QB, Houston

War Room analysis
Arm strength: Has a strong arm but didn't have many chances to show it in Houston's short-passing offense. Makes all the throws, and puts great zip on downfield passes. When rolling out, makes deep throws on a rope. Grade: 8.0

Accuracy/delivery: Is surprisingly accurate on short passes and intermediate-to-deep routes. When feet are set and strides into throws, puts passes of any length on the money. Grade: 8.0

Field vision: Sees the field on almost every play. When trying to find an open receiver on one side of the field, can come back and make a throw to a backside receiver without hesitation. Grade: 8.0

Running ability: Is a good athlete with experience as a runner, both to avoid the rush and to scramble out of the pocket. Often buys time and makes plays because of feet. Grade: 6.5

Intangibles: Carried Houston's offense, consistently showing the leadership and toughness to win games his team had no business winning. Has something special that causes teammates to rally around him and play at a higher level. Grade: 8.0

Bottom line: Kolb was a frustrating prospect for much of his college career before showing improved decision-making skills as a senior and drastically improving his NFL stock. Kolb must adjust to a more traditional pro-style offense, but he can become a great NFL starter who can make big plays with his cannon arm and nimble feet.

With everyone talking about Stanton, which if u ever watched him play a lot, u might not even want him in the 3rd round let alone the 2nd. I think Kolb would be the better pick. He has all the physical attributes that u look for in a QB biggest knock on this guys seems to be that he played in a short pass Off. But other then that he is physicly there. I think he would be the best for a 2nd round QB, if there some people say he very well may go in the first if he impresses during the combine or private workouts.

Who are these people? I'd love to read there reasoning.

I'd be very disappointed if took this guy even close to that high. 3rd round at best IMO.

This people are called draft experts and get payed a lot more then me or u to watch and scout players and I am not talking a fan that can start a draft web site. This scouting report is from Sporting news Draft war room, which is not there Free stuff, u have to pay for it. The even have him rated as the #2 QB ahead of Quinn, but in the Mock they believe Quinn will go higher because of hype but feel that Kolb is physically more gifted. Kolb is one of those QB that was highly rated out of high school that did not produce as fast as expected intill this last year.
 
Kolb or Stanton would be a good choice. Id rather have Stanton. However looking at the reality, theres a chance Quinn could drop to #9. I hope he doesnt because i dont want him. I have a feeling somehow Quinn will be drafted the Fins and will be our future QB.

:lol: Thanks for the details. Sporting News, huh? Interesting. BTW, no need to get all defensive, generally when posting a profile like that a link helps. :wink:
 
Pioli and his people have Kolb as a 3rd rounder, considering a decent combine.

Id love to know what people have him going in the first round as well
 
In Mobile, the so called experts all wanted to see Kolb's pocket presence, and vertical game. From what they say, he's been in the shotgun throwing 10 yard passes since high school. I didn't see the Senior Bowl, so, did he show anything?

I didn't think so personally. Not in the game anyway, none of the south Qbs looked good. Practice may be a different story but this is definitely the first time I've heard him mentioned even remotely close to the 1st round.
 
he's a 4th rounder, maybe a 3rd at best

thats the knock on him but strengh isn't the most important thing in the world, accuracy is and he has that
 
He's a shot gun gunslinger. 3rd or 4rth round at best, may not transform into the nfl style QB.. I read about him months ago and thought he would be a good fit, but I say if we somehow land another late 3rd rd pick or early 4th, I would consider him based on decision making and arm strength.
 
I'm rooting for Kolb, Edwards, Rowe or Gutierrez. Nothing before the 3rd. I think we might go with Stanton in the 2nd though
 
Thanks for that post. I don't follow college, so it's nice to get some detail on these guys. Your analysis seems very thorough and he sounds like a solid pick...if he's still around.
