That's pretty much all you need to know about that one.

Well that's not the craziest evalutation in terms of scouting. I mean JC is hands down better then Walter on his worst day in the pro's then Walter is on his best day. However you have to remember that Walter was thought to be a lock for the first round before the 2004 college football season began so I can concieve the possibility that a scout might have graded a guy like Walter over Campbell who at the time was projected to go to the Browns in the early 2nd (Campbell that is) while Walter was flirting with the possibility of being a late second round pick.

I wonder what it's like for a 6'5" guy to throw to 6'3" guys versus 5'10 guys

Grrrrr more Upside talk, but at least it's concerning 2nd round picks and not some obscure 7th round pick that's going to save our D-Line.

The great thing though about player development, when it works, is that it ends up looking like you got brand new players in the offseason. However unless we get an O-line then the effect those three have on the offense is going to be limited . That is unless JC can summon the Ben Rothesberger in him and extend plays like Big Ben which ironically wouldn't be the worse thing if we end up not getting any new big uglies this offseason, which with Vinny at the healm is a distinct possibilty.
