With yet another lost season behind us, well a few hours away anyway. It’s time to look ahead to the 2013 draft and replacing a subpar quarterback in Fitzpatrick. Here is a list of the best available QB’s in this draft. I’m leaving out Geno Smith because he won’t be there by the time we pick. Not to mention, he didn’t impress me in the Pin Stripe Bowl against Syracuse. Who do you want to be in Buffalo next season.
1. Matt Barkley USC - All USC QB’s scare me. Completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,273 yards, 36 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The senior didn't play well against Stanford, Washington and was just average against California.
2. Tyler Wilson ARK - He had some good games and some rather average performances. Wilson completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,387 yards, 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 2012. Wilson flashed some great passing ability at times and there were other times where his decision-making was off.
3. Tyler Bray Tennessee - Had a bunch of uneven games this year. He was repeatedly been hurt by dropped passes, but also had some shaky decision-making. The junior completed 59 percent of his passes this season, collecting 3,612 yards, 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
4. Landry Jones OU - Jones has completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,745 yards, 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The senior has gotten hot lately and showed some real growth by leading comeback wins at West Virginia and at home against Oklahoma State. In the past, he has struggled when his team has fallen behind to a quality opponent.
5. Tajh Boyd Clemson - Boyd has played well in 2012. He is improved from his sophomore season as a passer, a decision-maker and a runner. Boyd has completed 67 percent of his passes this year for 3,550 yards, 34 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He has run for 706 yards (492 net) and nine touchdowns, too.
6. Ryan Nassib Syracuse - Nassib has completed 63 percent of his passes for 3,619 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions this year. He has displayed intelligence and accuracy this season. Syracuse doesn't have a strong supporting cast, and Nassib has played better than his numbers indicate. I like this kid. He’s smart, but I watch a lot of SU games. So take that or what it’s worth.
7. Mike Glennon NC State - Glennon has completed 57 percent of his passes for 3,648 yards, 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He has played better than his numbers indicate the same as Nassib.
The one kid out there that makes me wonder – Jordan Rodgers Vanderbilt
Projected to be a project, but is the younger brother of Aaron Rodgers. Might not get drafted, but will be invited to someone’s camp. I wonder if we could turn into something with the right coaches.
So who do you want in this weak draft?
