The Top Senior Prospects

[otr-sky]

This is the first in a weekly series detailing the top senior prospects, by position, for the 2010NFL Draft.

 

Here are the top 12 senior quarterback prospects NFL scouts will be keeping a close eye on this fall.

1. Tim Tebow

 

College: Florida

Height/Weight: 6-3, 245

 

Tebow will be a third-year starter in 2009. He has thrown 67 touchdown passes

 

and only 11 interceptions in the past three years. He will have a new

 

quarterback coach this year, Scott Loeffler, who came from the NFL. Tebow

 

should be a top-10 pick in the 2010 draft.

 

2. Colt McCoy

 

College: Texas

Height/Weight: 6-2½, 215

 

McCoy completed 77 percent of his passes in 2008 for 34 touchdowns and only

 

eight interceptions. He has above average running ability. He is a five-year

 

player who has gotten a lot stronger since coming to Texas. McCoy has been

 

well coached by Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis. He will be a top-10

 

pick as a quarterback in the 2010 draft.

 

3. Dan LeFevour

 

College: Central Michigan

Height/Weight: 6-3, 230

 

LeFevour will be a four-year starter and is only the second quarterback to

 

pass for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 more in NCAA Div. I history (former

 

Texas QB Vince Young was the first). He is a fifth-year player.

 

4. Jarrett Brown

 

College: West Virginia

Height/Weight: 6-2½, 228

 

Brown is a fifth-year player who had been in a backup role behind Pat White.

 

He has a very strong arm and good athletic ability. He played on the

 

Mountaineers basketball team in 2008. He is a risk/reward-type player.

 

5. Tim Hiller

 

College: Western Michigan

Height/Weight: 6-4, 230

 

Hiller started five games in 2005 as a true freshman. He missed the 2006

 

season due to injury. He is a 4.0 student and went to the same Ohio high

 

school (Orrville) as Bob Knight. He has 76 touchdown passes in his career.

 

6. Zac Robinson

 

College: Oklahoma State

Height/Weight: 6-3, 220

 

Robinson threw 25 touchdown passes and only 10 interceptions in 2008 and set a

 

school record for total yards in 2007. He has good accuracy and understanding

 

of the game. He moves well.

 

7. Tony Pike

 

College: Cincinnati

Height/Weight: 6-5½, 210

 

Pike didn't play a lot until 2005 -- had some up-and-down games and finished

 

the season throwing four interceptions vs. Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

 

He does have upside, but will need to show more consistency.

 

8. Isiah "Juice" Williams

 

College: Illinois

Height/Weight: 6-1¼, 235

 

Williams had 3,892 total yards in 2008. He is the best quarterback in the Big

 

Ten, but he needs to become a better passer. He had 22 touchdown passes and 16

 

interceptions last season.

 

9. John Skelton

 

College: Fordham

Height/Weight: 6-5, 245

 

Skelton has started three years in a non-scholarship program (Patriot League).

 

He has a good arm and upside, and seems to have the ability to compete for a

 

spot at the next level.

 

10. Max Hall

 

College: BYU

Height/Weight: 6-3¾, 200

 

Hall had 35 touchdown passes and 3,957 passing yards in 2008. He has 61

 

touchdown passes over the past two years. He is a transfer from Arizona State.

 

11. Rusty Smith

 

College: Florida Atlantic

Height/Weight: 6-4, 230

 

Smith has thrown 62 touchdown passes in three seasons. He played in 2008 with

 

a separated shoulder.

 

12. Joe Webb

 

College: Alabama-Birmingham

Height/Weight: 6-3, 220

 

Webb had the athletic ability to play wide receiver in 2007, but needs to work

 

on his passing.

No way in Hell Tebow is a top ten pick. Hes not the fourth best QB in the draft, let alone the tenth best NFL talent. He will go late first to early second round because someone there will take the risk because he just doesn't translate well in the NFL.

I'd take Sam Bradford over Tim Tebow.

I'd take Sam Bradford over Tim Tebow.

 

Reading certainly helps.

 

Anyways, it's a decent list, but in no way, shape, or form is Juice Williams even close to a NFL prospect. He's such garbage. Atrocious prospect.

I'd agree but the 3 below him aren't too much better either

I did read, Bradford is entering the draft... so he may not be a senior... but for sake of argument he's better than Tebow.

This is still a discussion about senior prospects, just because he enters, doesn't make him a senior

Yeah, and I was being sarcastic. Bradford (junior) > Tebow (senior)

[MiamiSolja7]

Tim tebow will NOT be a top 10 pick, he's a terrible QB in a gimmicky system. Have you seen him throw the ball? he throws up complete balloons that would we picked by any nfl D. lets see tebow lower his shoulder in the nfl, see how fast he gets decleated.

LMFAO @ Tebow being a top 10 pick.

[The Great iBoldin]

While it certainly shouldn't happen, Gil Brandt is very versed inside a lot of management departments, and repeatedly has suggested Tebow could be a top-ten pick. I'd like to know of his sources, but he's onto something. A lot of front offices really like Tebow.
