Not enough speed for a Running Back and although everyone seems to think he would make a good tight end, I stick with the fact that no one even knows if the kid can catch a ball - Who the hell is going to draft him?

True! Perfect fit - he can stand next to Gohlston on the sidelines and they can count their money.

He calls him a "special player," and if there was anyone who would know how to use him, it would be Belichick. The kid is a proven winner, and I think the idea that he can't throw the ball is bull.

I would absolutely use one of the 2nd round picks on him, provided he fell that far. I wonder how Belichick would use him; obviously whether it's Brady or Cassel we're set at QB for the foreseeable future, but I wonder if there would be some kind of hybrid role for him on the team.

Honestly, the only way people would be able to give you an honest, informed answer on this is if they had combine scores and pro day evaluations in front of them, or if they'd spoken personally with BB.

Exactly. If he's in the NFL it'll be as a TE/Fullback ala Dallas Clark. There is zero chance of him playing QB.

Tebow is another in the long list of Heisman failures. He will be drafted too high by some inept NFL FO, and BUST.

NFL QBs first, last and always, have to be able to throw the Football. Tebow is not an NFL QB. He is another Mike Vick, without the arm or bad character. If the NFL adopted the Single Wing full time, he would be a fine triple threat, just like Jim Thorpe.

I'm sure that BB would talk him up, so some douffus would waste a pick and BB moves up.

Just being nostalgic, but his makeup is as close to Steve Grogan as you're ever going to get. Wouldn't last long in the NFL playing like he does now, but work on his throwing mechanics and who knows what might happen.

Working on throwing mechanics is a start, working on foot work is next, learning to take a snap from under center is a must, learning to read defenses? Ouch! That is the last nail in the coffin.

Again.

Dan Orlovsky
Tavaris Jackson
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Andew Walter
Bruce Gradkowski

All started games in the NFL.

I don't think Tebow will be great but he will find a job.

Mathew Stafford can't read a defense, and he might be the 1st overall pick.
