    I'm neither a proponent for drafting him, nor one of his detractors, I just read this article and thought it was worthy of posting here in the draft forum. Here's a little snipet:

    It would be incredibly hard to convince me a guy who is inaccurate will become accurate in the NFL.

    Locker answers first: "I'd say it's about 30 yards -- 60 feet."

    Scotty McKnight, a former Colorado receiver who might not be drafted, turns his head, drops his eyebrows and grins. McKnight loves giving people a hard time, and his fellow prospect has provided a rare opening. "Thirty yards is 90 feet," he says.

    "Uh, I didn't take math," says Locker, who earned his degree in history.

    Heeeelarious. No wonder these guys only score 20 on Wonderlick testing. And a 1/3rd of those points or 8 points :wink2: comes from guessing the correct answer.

    Can be done (Reid managed to make Vick into a fairly accurate QB) but it requires a really good teaching coach (like Reid), and I wouldn't recommend using a high pick on a project like that.

    Potential, but you really need to know your plan with him I think.
