Updated: Redskins to hold private workouts with Tebow and Bradford

[Pocket$ $traight]

One of the things that I find interesting is that our interest in Tebow is so public. The MO on Allen is that he typically keeps his hand close to the vest. So, this could be feaux interest which may cause another GM to snag Tebow and allow someone who we really want to fall to us.

I don't see Allen making our picks in 10 seconds and bragging how Portis liked the pick...

I am all for getting Okung but I not for Tebow. We have to be looking at some else like Pike.

[SmootSmack]

Probably wouldn't take either before the 3rd round...but I'd take Tebow over Pike. Just not sold on Pike at all.

[MTK]

I'm not a fan of Pike either. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Tebow in the 2nd round. If we came away with Okung at #4 and Tebow in the 2nd... I wouldn't hate that at all.

^ Because of the depth of the draft, there should be several capable OL in the second round. There should be some quality RB's in the second, too. I pray that we do not spend a second round pick on any QB, even if we get an extra #2 in a trade. Draft a QB very high or very low, feed the front in the middle rounds - that's what I say.

I'm so happy people around here are warming up to #15.

NO to tebow! He can't read NFL defenses and even with his new delivery he's still slow at throwing the ball.

He has a 3.72 GPA, and loves the game of football more then anything. I'm pretty convinced that he can be coached to properly read defenses. Plus I wouldn't say he's nearly as slow as the scouts have made him out to be. When I heard his release described I had visions of Byron Leftwich however it turns out that he's much quicker then I anticipated. Certainly average without the new coaching and abvoe average with it.

He's also got one hell of an arm. And keep in mind, Big Ben has a pretty slow release himself.

How many hours a week would you estimate you watch film? Coach Mullen was saying the later in the season, the more you watch because there’s more to digest. And I know that you do this all on your own, they don’t force you.

I would say over 20.

Remember this is a guy who will not bear false witness or errrr lie.

I mean it's obvious that he works pretty hard and is dedicated to the game, at least the levels he's played at, but there's always that question at the back of my mind. I think that there are other project QBs out there, Tebow in the 4th would be fine with me.. MAYBE the 3rd if we had one, but aren't there better prospects in the 2nd?

What is with this kick about first Myron Rolle and now Tim Tebow. All the time we wish for players that are smart and well rounded. Now all of a sudden they're to smart, to wholesome. Do we need a picture of them with a Thai hooker to bring them back down to earth? We have enough premadonnas in the league, it's about time we raised our standards a little. And look at it this way Tebow would balance out the trash that is Larry Johnson.

Agreed.

Every draft expert would rather take Fragile Bradford #1 over Concrete Cyanide.

Myron Rolle isnt even considered a first rounder just because he is a Rhodes Scholar I think he is projected 4th rounder he could be gem if still around for us.

Really?? How many games has he played in the NFL? I suppose Cult Brennan is a better choice? lol.

Actually I think he's making fun of the cult with his SN. I doubt he's a Brennan supporter.

Fine then lets change that to something worse, he can't read defenses period.

You make it sound like he needs help putting on his clothes in the morning. Still he spent 20 hours a week watching film and the coaches that engaged him in chalk talk during the interview part of the combine all seemed to come away impressed.

Look I'm a florida gator fan, I've watched him ever since he's come to Gainesville, and believe me, yes lets just say this guy goes to bed with a helmet on.
