Who will draft Tebow?

[digitalsportsdaily]

This one has been boggling my mind for a few weeks now. First we hear that Tebow was a third-rounder, now some mock drafters have him going as high as the Top Ten.
I get the feeling that the NFL marketing machine will see to it that one of the owners takes a shot at him in the first-round.

With my luck, the Browns.

Jon Gruden. With his ESPN issued draft machine. Although it is a cool segment.

This NFL marketing machine you speak of: How does it get a team to use a valuable draft pick on a player the team doesn't value that highly? And how does that benefit the NFL?

If Tebow goes in the first round, it will be because a team really values him that highly. First round picks are worth too much to NFL teams.

My guess is that he'll go in the second or third round. He's big, moves well and he's won a lot. There are a handful of teams that place a lot of weight on the "winner" thing. But he throws with a hitch -- and even with the changes he rolled out, his motion looks very unnatural now. Also, teams are going to be gunshy on a player from that Urban Meyer offense after seeing Alex Smith's adjustment.

Only a team that won't be counting on needing him on the field in the next two years should draft him. I'll take a guess and say maybe second round to New England.

Early second round.

And I agree with BudCrew. Pretty cool series of segments with Gruden and the QB prospects.

**** Tebow. The kid's going to get laughed out of whatever NFL locker room he enters with that "no one will work harder" juvenile crap of his.

Yeah, I hate those hard workers.

 

[Azrael]

Yes. They've certainly been howling at Kurt Warner all these years.

Where will Tebow get drafted?

Who the **** cares?

Nice plug by the way.

P.S. You should change the name of your blog from the Digital Sports Daily to the Ginormous Font Daily.

Vince Papale worked hard.

 

[Azrael]

Not as hard as Rudy.

And neither of them must have gotten their name in the paper that often. Otherwise, they would have won college scholarships.

Is that the term? Win? I've always used earned. Because it's not really a contest.

 

[MileHigh]

The way things are going, the Broncos will take him with their newly acquired second-round pick.

What's so juvenile about it? You have to sell yourself somehow. It's a lot better than some other personality traits guys bring to NFL locker rooms.

Maybe if he beat up his girlfriend and dragged her down a flight of stairs he'd have NFL cred and wouldn't be laughed at.

The contempt people hold for "basically good guys" is unbelievable sometimes. And spare me the "I'm just tired of reading how great he is" nonsense. Put down the magazine and put the TV on mute if it bothers you that much. That's what 90 percent of this business is: Whoreing for athletes and teams.

I have no problem with Tebow being a good guy, although he needs to relax with all the Jesus stuff. That can rub anyone the wrong way.

I guess I'm just miffed by how much pub this guy has gotten for being what is believed to be a second- or third-round pick at best. Yes, he's versitile, and yes, he'll be a decent player on a 53-man squad, but where? He wants to play quarterback, but he's just not cut out to do so in the NFL. Sure, he set a lot of college records, but so did Timmy Chang.

If there's a sleeper pick at QB, I'd keep your eye on Tony Pike, who has virtually been flying under the radar. He always impressed me.

Cowboys, Jerrah! doing that drunken spiel was a smokescreen.

Thanks for noticing the logo.

You can't tell me that the Eagles weren't doing Roger Goodell a favor by wasting $5 million on Vick?
They alreay had two quarterbacks
