Nah. Don't you know, Tom Brady is going to play for another 25 years, and Bill Belichick will be there to coach him the entire time..... At least that's what the Patriots fans I have to hear every day will tell you. No need for them to even LOOK at a QB until at least the 4th or 5th round.

I think you will see the pats draft either OLB then OL or RB (Ingram) then OL with their 2 picks. If Mankins does not return, they would need to draft his replacement because you know they wont shell out big money for a free agent

Mallett is being projected by many of the more credible mocks as a 3rd round pick due to both his decision-making concerns and his character concerns. Gabbert, Newton, Ponder, Locker are all projected higher. Some mocks have Stanzi rated equal to Locker, placing him above Mallett as well. It seems a 2nd round pick would be reaching.

That pretty much illustrates why mock drafts are worthless

He had a meltdown with the press today. Forget him.

I wouldn't call it a meltdown. He just ended his press conference bc they literally asked him the same question five times, and each time he stated that he would only address the issue with the teams during individual interviews. It's no different than how Newton responded to the question of his stealing the laptop and cheating on a test, only the media didn't keep asking him the same question like they did with Mallett. Also, reports have said that Mallett's individual team interviews have gone well.

Agree... there's a point at which the 5th iteration of some version of the same question just becomes obnoxious. He did just fine.

Ryan Mallett gets rave reviews for Combine effort
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 27, 2011, 1:14 PM EST
Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett bounced back from a rough Saturday afternoon by doing what he does best: Spinning the football.

Mallett received uniformly rave reviews for his throwing performance on Sunday. PFT talked to Tony Pauline of SI.com and TFYDraft.com, who called the performance the best quarterback effort at the Combine of the last ten years.

(The bad news: Joey Harrington was the last effort Pauline recalls that was this good.)

Pauline said Mallett’s accuracy was “pinpoint.” He always led his receivers with perfect timing. No one doubted Mallett’s arm strength or ability to throw well in shorts, but he may have exceeded expectations.

Rob Rang of CBSSports.com agreed with Pauline’s assessment, saying Mallett was the “unquestioned star” of the first group of quarterbacks. (Cam Newton is in the next group.)

Mallett’s draft stock has been a hot topic here over the last 24 hours. Some teams reportedly don’t have Mallett on their draft board. Other scouts see him as a late second round pick.

As we’ve learned over the years, you only need one team to fall in love with your potential. Mallett’s performance on Sunday should only help.

I watch plenty of SEC games, and I will admit that I am definitely biased, but this guy is by far the top QB in this draft IMO. He is accurate, football smart, the team leader, tough, and ultra-competitive.
Granted, his personality is no Sam Bradford as he is a bit cocky, but that's just because he's so dang good and he knows it. He's been absolutely tearing up the best defenses in the country while running a pro style offense. I wouldn't bet against him. It's laughable that Locker and Gabbert are ranked ahead of him. I'd like to ask these experts which QB was the most dominant in college football the last 2 years? Their #'s are a joke compared to Mallet's. I think these guys just outsmart themselves sometimes. Watch a Razorbacks game and you see him consistently dominate. I'm a Vols fan not just some Razorback homer.
I hope we get him, even if we have to do it at 10. Though it would be awesome to get A.J. Green or Julio Jones in the 1st, then jump back into the first at the back end to grab Mallet. Maybe someone would take our 2nd and McEagle for their late 1st. I have heard that he could fall all the way to the 3rd, but I don't buy it. Coaches watch game film. Petrino will sell them on him too.

Has anyone else noticed that this forum is the "2010" NFL Draft? lol

Agreed. We'd be mighty lucky to land Jones and Mallet from our current draft positions.

Yeah. Any way that can be changed?

I think BossHog is the only one that can change it and he's otherwise preoccupied as of late.

I must say that Mallett is climbing up my draft board right now (although, to be truthful, I don't actually have my own draft board - that would be a bit sad).

I really don't care about his mobility too much - his often reported ability to make every throw in the book, and experience in a pro style offence scores highly in my mind.

Trouble is, I doubt he'll be there in the second round, and I'd still prefer us to address defence in the first.

Best of both worlds having people climb and fall on your draft board without an actual draft board anyone can hold you accountable for...

Yep, it's a win win for me ;-)
