Since this is going to be an important draft for us I thought I would point out some of the flaws of the top projected picks in this year's draft. I'm going off of what I've seen of them so I might have caught some bad games, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and add any other draft picks flaws. We're all going to be reading about how great these guys are, it may be good to know what isnt so great about them

QB Brady Quinn - horrendous when the pocket breaks down. Needs almsot a perfect pocket to succeed

QB Brian Brohm - seems to be fragile. constantly getting dinged up

LOT Joe Thomas - might just be me but he seems to play high. Doesnt seem to have the knee bend you need to dominate at the NFL level. Could be due to his massive size 6'8" and playing against much shorter competition. Still if he tries to play his position by bending at the waist instead of bending his knees he'll be an average tackle in the nfl. the key for the scouts will be to determine whether he can play with knee bend and leverage

WR Calvin Johnson - havent seen a flaw in his game yet

How many times have you seen ND play in the past 4 years? I pretty much know the answer, interested if you'll admit it though

cant help but see them. they're on every week. i probably watch four to five times a year. by the way, this isnt just my opinion this is the book on the guy. get pressure on him and he'll play bad, leave him time and he'll kill you.

I had no doubt you've seen him play. I think you can say that about a lot of QBs though, get a good pass rush and they arent the same player. I also think the word horrible is exagerating it a bit.
 
Other than Joe Montana, What ND QB has been successful @ the Pro Level?

Rick Mirer? Jarious Jackson?

BQ has had alot of hype this season & hasn't lived up to it IMO.

Miami needs a franchise LT, a #1 CB, and a play making OLB.

maybe horrible is exaggerrating but that's the flaw on the guy, that he handles pocket pressure worse than you would want

I like how people can spin things to make their guy look better than everyone else.
 
I, personally, would hate to pick up brady quinn. I'd rather (as much as i hate to do it because id feel like we were wasting such a high draft pick) pick up an OL.

if you pass on Calvin Johnson for a cb at a high pick...then there is something wrong because there is no CB this year worth taking as high as Calvin
