Mocks

Yeah, but the thing is bust or not... Vince Young will be a 1st round draft pick. And a top 10 draft pick... at WORST. No getting around that. Any mock draft that misses that fact is silly.

vince young will have a better career than any QB picked in front of him.

rjs246 · March 30, 2006, 11:10:08 AM

Maybe, but if that's the case there are going to be some truly AWFUL quarterbacks picked in the first round.

Feva · March 30, 2006, 11:11:43 AM

And that's different from any other year, how?

vince young has insane tools....if he is receptive to coaching and doesnt have an ego trip he will be very good to special...if he acts like ryan leaf hell be out of the league in about the same amount of time

You are failing to grasp that Ourlads does not pretend to do a mock draft the same way as other sources.

They are playing GM for every team, not predicting what the actual GM's will do. Get it?

He has the same tools as Vick - only less accurate and not as fast. Based on that I'm guessing he won't even be as good as Vick (who sucks).

actually, he dominates Vick when it comes to career passing stats in college, while Vick was mostly a runner. Vince has great passing numbers while running as well.

are you joking...he is ten times the thrower that vick is...vick is a running back playing qb...vince young is a qb that can run

Vick's arm is like a sniper rifle with a broken scope. Young's is like a top-of-the-line slingshot. Choose your poison.

He can never and will never have the type of velocity that Vick's arm can generate, but he does as good a job as could be hoped for, considering the highly-flawed way he throws the ball.

while his arm strength is not vicks its far superior to leinerts and is strong enough to make any nfl throw...thats not even a question with vince...its all about him being able to elevate his release point

rjs246 · March 30, 2006, 12:04:32 PM

I think the real question is, How many piles of ballhair will Vince Young suck as a professional? I'm guessing 14. 14 piles.

PoopyfaceMcGee · March 30, 2006, 12:04:53 PM

I'm not just talking about the arm "strength". I'm talking about the combination of less-than desirable arm strength with the awkward throwing motion and low release point. Watching clips of his pro day was deja vu after watching Michael Robinson all year.
