I was talking to a NFL agent at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. He said that the quarterback class for this years NFL draft isn’t nearly as deep and talented as next years. Problem is teams always panic and draft quarterbacks much higher than they should…Jake Locker, Christian Ponder and Blaine Gabbert all taken in the top twelve picks in 2011?
This year, you can reach for Geno Smith or Matt Barkley or wait till the 2014 class that features Johnny Manziel, Clemsons Taj Boyd,
Teddy bridgewater at Louisville, AJ McCarron at Alabama, and Logan Thomas of Virginia Tech…there are more than a few that feel the same way as my agent friend…
Here’s the problem, in the NFL you don’t have time to wait till next season. If your Cardinals GM Steve Keim, no one is going to want to hear you say, well…we can chose a quarterback in 2014….
Other Arizona notes around the combine this morning, former Cardinals receiver Steve Breaston, who was released by Kansas City, was not an option for the Cardinals at least as of late last night…
Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Detriot had contacted his agent….
There is a valley quarterback who is getting attention at the Combine, former Notre Dame Prep and Duke qb Sean Renfree is represented by Valley agent Eric Metz. Renfree injured his shoulder in the bowl game, but is now coming back…could be taken in the third or fourth round..someone to keep an eye on…
