Former Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty has first-round thoughts

Art Briles knows what a first-round draft pick looks like. He’s had five of them, after all, since arriving as Baylor’s head coach in 2008.

While scouts continue to evaluate quarterback Bryce Petty’s draft stock, Briles remains steadfast in his belief that Petty should join Robert Griffin III and the other BU first-rounders with his own banner on the west wall of the Allison Indoor Facility.

“I still think he’ll be a first-round draft choice,” Briles said. “To me, it’s all about production on the field.… Beyond that, it’s the character, his demeanor and then the chip on his shoulder and his attitude to want to be great. If you burn hot, you play hot, and he’s a guy that burns hot. That’s what I appreciate about him.”

Nope, it's more about projection than production. If it was "all about production on the field" the Timmy Changs and Colt Brennans would be lighting it up now.

Sorta joking. This QB is "hot" right now.He might go late in the first if this panic buying continues.

It's a brutal draft for QB, that said I'm not even sure I would spend a 4th on Petty.

This site would crash.

I would think he is no better than a 2nd rounder since he would nee to sit a few years and is already 24 y/o.

Robert Griffin III
Kendall Wright
Phil Taylor
Danny Watkins
Jason Smith

Three giant busts, an average WR and a good NT. Not exactly a stellar record of first round talents from Baylor.

Hopefully Petty and Hundley go before 27. Push a legitimate player further down the board. Its doubtful both, but I could see one of those 2 going before our pick.
