I wouldn't take him as an undrafted free agent, but that is just my opinion. I don't see anything that impresses me enough to think he will suceed in the NFL as a QB.

Take him as a UDFA and make him a permanent practice player that the defense uses to practice against. He could emulate the Read-Option better than Orton. They could also use him to save money on the JUGS machines.

He has a lot of physical tools, but I don't think he's a natural pocket passer yet. Whoever drafts him will be drafting a project and it will be three years before he sees the field.

At his size, if he has an impressive 40 time at the combines, I'd be more intrigued with him as a TE prospect.

He's most definitely getting drafted.

I can see Chip Kelly taking him in a heart beat.

I hope he does. Using a 1-3 round pick on him would be a good thing.

Fix the release and he's an NFL starter. Don't and he's selling insurance.

I'd spend a #3 on the physical tools in the belief that working with the QB with the fastest release in the NFL and one of the shortest motions could be exactly what he needs.

No thank you.

He has been, and I believe will always be, over rated.

Teases with the looks but never delivers.

I'd take him if he were there anytime 4th round and down.

He's got more skills, IMO, then anybody in this draft. He just needs his mechanics worked on. Also, he needs to be able to understand how to process reads. This is really the question IMO. You can fix his motion but can he read NFL defenses? That will need work.

I must say, personally I can't stand watching ej, he's way to erratic, nd quite frankly at the beginning of the season was overrated... I say pass unless he goes undrafted (which he won't due to he does have the physical talent)

If anyone is going to benefit from this year being such a weak QB class, it's this guy.

I want no part of him to be honest.

Just pass on spending resources on developmental QBs. The Cowboys need to find a way to Win now.
