In the next few weeks, we will be doing several scouting reports of the top prospects for the 2011 NFL Draft.
Washington QB Jake Locker.
Strengths: His clear strength is his arm and mobility. He has the arm strength to be a top notch NFL Quarterback, and his mobility rivals that of Tim Tebow.
Weaknesses: Clearly, scouts and teams will wonder if the lack of top competition will or has affected his draft stock. Also, he has a tendency to make some bad throws.
Overall: Overall, He in alot of people's minds is the top QB and top rated prospect for 2011, and he is our overall #1 ranked player in the nation.
Game to Watch(2010): Home against UCLA(November 18th, 2010)- How will Locker do against the top safety prospect Rahim Moore.
Stanford QB Andrew Luck.
Strengths: Even though Locker has a better arm in a sense than Luck, you will rarely see Luck make bad throws, he is accurate and pin point.
Weaknesses: Now without Toby Gerhart as a safety blanket, how will Luck answer his criticts. Is he a one year wonder, or does he have the potential to be a franchise QB at the next level.
Overall: Luck is our clear #2 QB and #2 Prospect. He will likely battle Locker for both the top spots.
Game to Watch(2010): @ Notre Dame(September 25th, 2010)- How will Luck do against a much improved Irish Defense, with LB Brian Smith rushing Luck.
Arkansas QB Ryan Mallet
Strengths: Has a big strong arm, tall QB and very very accurate.
Weaknesses: Needs to improve his footwork and his willingness to check down. Not force the ball in.
Overall: Clearly a top 20 pick, and a top 3 QB in this draft class.
Game to Watch: Home against LSU(November 27th, 2010)- His arm may be very very accurate, but how will he do against our top rated Corner, Patrick Peterson.
