Grayson McCall is "The QB to watch out for". Holmes was at one of games last year and also this year. I believe he is currently out due to a foot injury for a couple weeks. He's 6' 3" 215 lbs., is kind of in the mold of Mac Jones but with more athletic ability. He doesn't possess a real strong arm but has more arm strength than Mac. McCall is another one of those super high football IQ QB's. Maybe think of a bigger, more athletic and slightly quicker decision maker than Bailey Zappe. I'd view him as true pocket passer with the ability to escape and create on his own, but more towards the former than latter part.

The more I watch Illinois CB Devon Witherspoon, the more I become intrigued with him. He was rock solid today except that D.P.I. call - that call should've been defensive holding long before the D.P.I was called. This young man plays with conviction and authority on the field whether it's in coverage, run defense or on a corner blitz.

Chase Brown was his usual self today running, receiving and some minor pass blocking. He has good power, patiently waits for holes to open and has very good burst to accelerate beyond first and second level defenders.

Yeah, I been high on him for a couple weeks now. Questions is, where does he fall. Since we have no fourth we either take him with an early third or hope he makes it to fifth round

Odd?

Lions scouts take in their 5th Florida game of the season

The Gators have several prospects of interest including LB Ventrell Miller, QB Anthony Richardson and OG O’Cyrus Torrance, but the Commodores pulled the upset

lionswire.usatoday.com

The primary Gators of interest are QB Anthony Richardson, OG O’Cyrus Torrance and LB Ventrell Miller, though that’s far from a complete list.

Another bad outing for Hendon Hooker. He looked completely unsettled last night as the Vols were blown out by South Carolina.

Will Levis reminds me of two former Michigan QB's, Drew Henson and Chad Henne.

Even when having time in the pocket to gather himself, his footwork most often times was a mess, failure to get his shoulder pointed in the direction of his targeted receiver, velocity of throws whether short, intermediate was highly inconsistent.

At 25 he needs to be more polished than he is to be a prospect

He has, at times, looked too slow to process what is going on around him and will either double clutch then run or is simply too late delivering the ball.

I'm jumping off the Hooker train.
Permanently.

If you click on this link, you'll see the Rams are currently drafting No.5 overall and the Lions No.13

I wish no ill will towards anyone when it comes to head trauma, but if the rumor is true that Stafford might've sustained another concussion today after suffering one last week, then the Rams are likely looking at worst in the top 10 draft slots.

No need to worry about Hendon Hooker anymore

In this draft apparently every team decided they don't like the players I do so they all fell way too far. I did not get the pass rushing help I would like, but I can live with it.

 

[Edonidd]

I don't think TE can be an option. Replace those with a 3rd WR. But unless something crazy falls I don't see WR on the first 2 rounds either.

I did not have TE on the mind, but Washington is likely an early second rounder, just could not pass on the value.
