| I dont like this QB. I saw many of his games and at times he looks nervous in critical moments and he does not deliver when he has to. He is a pocket QB, has a desent arm, but I really think that he is more of a product of a good system rather then a quaterback that made his impact and carried a team on his shoulders. These types of QB can be found in the 5th or 6th rounds. Even so, we have other priorities |

The guy's got great skills, but clearly as you refer to he had serious issues with consistency and in particular coming through in clutch games. In other words, Ohio State and Bowls. When he's on he can light it up and when he's off it's usually not by much. I think playing the game full time could possibly make him a definite possibility as a pro. I'm not predicting a Brady, but Henne was as impressive in college as Brady and is a lot more experienced then Brady was. Also Brady played for Lloyd before he lost his nerve and Chad after. And Chad was injured most of his senior year. I think he's reasonable to look at as a #3 to groom to see if playing full time he can hone his game to more consistency.
The only thing you said that seemed odd to me in your post was he looks "nervous." I've seen almost every game the guy ever played at Michigan and I never thought that. |

| Quote: | Redskins Eying Mid-Round QB Prospects
By Gary Fitzgerald
Redskins.com
April 8, 2008
One need position the Redskins have identified this offseason is backup quarterback.
The Redskins Jason Campbell as the designated starter for new head coach Jim Zorn. Veteran Todd Collins returns as Campbell's backup.
It's third-string quarterback that has become a focus since the team decided not to re-sign veteran Mark Brunell this offseason.
"We'll look to the draft to get another [quarterback] to develop," executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato has said. "The ideal thing is when you have a young starter, then a veteran guy, and then another young guy. So that's what we'll look at."
Boston College's Matt Ryan, Louisville's Brian Brohm and Delaware's Joe Flacco are generally regarded as the top quarterbacks available. They should be first-round picks--or at least early second round.
With the draft set for April 26-27, the question becomes: how high should the Redskins draft a QB?
The team appears to have more pressing needs, including wide receiver, defensive line, offensive line and cornerback. So it's likely that quarterback will be addressed on the second day of the draft.
Who are some of the young quarterbacks expected to be available in the third round and beyond?
-- Colt Brennan, Hawaii
Brennan, 6-3 and 185 pounds, was prolific at Hawaii--he completed more than 70 percent of his passes the last two seasons while throwing 96 touchdown passes--but he played in a run-and-shoot offense. He struggled at the Sugar Bowl and the Senior Bowl, but his quick release and accuracy should continue to draw attention.
-- John David Booty, USC
Booty, 6-2 and 213 pounds, played in a pro style offense at USC, completng 518-of-832 passes for 6,125 yards, 55 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. He suffered a broken finger in his senior season that sidelined him for three games. Questions about his footwork and technique linger, but he saved his best for last, leading the Trojans to a Rose Bowl victory in a 49-17 thrashing of Illinois.
-- Chad Henne, Michigan
Could Henne be the next Tom Brady, a Michigan QB to make it big despite being a late-round draft pick? Henne, 6-2 and 228 pounds, started four years for the Wolverines. Henne struggled as a senior, but his career stats are impressive: he completed 828 of 1,387 passes for 9,715 yards, 87 touchdowns and 37 interceptions.
-- Erik Ainge, Tennessee
At 6-5 and 225 pounds, Ainge has a good frame for an NFL quarterback. A four-year starter at Tennessee, he completed 733-of-1,210 passes for 8,700 yards, 72 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. He has lacked consistency and doesn't have great mobility, but he could excel in a West Coast offense as a game manager.
-- Josh Johnson, San Diego
Johnson, 6-2 and 213 pounds, started three years at San Diego, a Division I-AA program, and completed 724-of-1,065 passes for 9,699 yards, 113 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Johnson did not compete against top-level competition in college, but he was previously coached by former NFL quarterback and current Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh.
-- Andre Woodson, Kentucky
Woodson, 6-4 and 230 pounds, has prototypical size and has shown flashes as a breakthrough player, but pro scouts have been critical of his overall mechanics. He completed 791-of-1,278 passes for 9,360 yards, 79 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He remains a project quarterback.
-- Alex Brink, Washington State
Washington State has produced some great quarterbacks, including Drew Bledsoe and former Redskin Mark Rypien. The university has also produced draft bust Ryan Leaf. Brink is a 6-3, 215-pounder who started four years for Washington State. He completed 821-of-1,411 passes for 10,514 yards, 71 touchdowns and 43 interceptions. He's regarded by scouts as a tough, smart leader, but he lacks great physical skills. |
I agree that the Skins should consider drafting a late round back-up QB. |

I agree. But if they are going to do it I hope that they do so intelligently. Try to get an established college player like Eric Ainge and not waste a pick on guys like Jared Palmer that aren't worthy of being drafted and can be signed as free agents. |

| I'm sure we just want teams below #21 to consider that we might draft Henne. Nothing more. |

I'd be  if Henne went in the 1st rnd. Few if any boards have him that high. |

We just need to wait until the 6th round and see who is available. As I recall the Patriots found a guy in the 6th round that turned out pretty good and he not only was not a starter at Michigan he was not even good enough to get past Drew Henson
So I think it would be pretty good if we can pick up a guy who looked as bad as Brady did at the combine - he was terrible!
I expect Cerrato to find players who become starters no matter what round they are in. That is what he is meant to be so good at.
We also should expect Cerrato to find a big, starting WR like the Saints did in the 6th or 7th round, some dude called M. Colston - no worries Cerrato, just do it. |

henne is the best prospect in that group listed.
He has a very bad body. He looks almost slovenly.... |
