Personally, I love Ryan Nassib.
kearly wrote:This QB class is pretty under-rated. I really liked it last year when looking ahead. I liked Tannehill, but there are five QBs in this 2013 draft I'd probably grade higher than him in terms of NFL readiness. Nassib being one (despite having a name that sounds like it's out of Mortal Kombat).
His throwing motion and arm strength reminds me of Matt Hasselbeck (finesse mechanics, below average arm with some intermediate zip, but good release time and accurate passer). He can check through reads. He's NFL ready. If he goes in the 2nd round he'll be far superior in his NFL preparation than past 2nd round QBs like Osweiler, Dalton, or Kaepernick.
Not really sure Nassib would be an obvious fit for Seattle. I don't think Seattle would draft QB early enough to get him, and I don't think Nassib offers enough of a contrast from Flynn. Seattle wants a read option QB, and that's not Nassib.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

My mid-round steal though? Tyler Bray.

Good shout on Bray. SUPERB arm-talent. If only he wasn't a complete numb-nuts in the decision making department, he'd be a sure-fire first rounder. I've never seen a more frustratingly brilliant QB. Everything is there for him, but you watch the games and want to climb into the TV and shake him. "What the hell did you see there!!??"
I can only put it down to not working hard enough. Put 50% of Russell Wilson's drive in Tyler Bray and he could be the #1 pick this year. And that's why he's going to go in the middle rounds. But as a cheap backup he has enough talent as a passer to go 3-1 in relief. So unless he's a complete idiot (some people have suggested he could be) then I'd be all over that in the middle rounds.
And Barkley deserves so much more credit than he's getting. Some of the things you see written about Barkley are just silly.

Barkley wasn't a leader? He started for four years and was named a team captain as a sophomore (only sophomore in school history to have that distinction)
Barkley wasn't the problem, it was Lane Kiffin and Monte Kiffin.

We get it, you hate Flynn. Enough!
If Barkley slides, it'll make the draft interesting. Remember when Aaron Rogers slid?
