    Does it make a difference that the only good QB to come out of the 4th-7th rounds in recent history was perceived to have average/poor physical tools?

    When was the last time a guy with great physical tools but poor on field production became a good QB? You can coach up some guys, but you can't coach them up THAT much.

    Run on CBs

    Bashaud Breeland (Washington)
    Jaylen Watkins (Philly)

    IMO an area of need for Texans

    I have a feeling this compensatory pick will be another defensive player. QB can wait

    O'Brien is considered to be a QB guru
    So, it will be interesting to see who he thinks he can coach up, out of this remaining group

    It doesn't matter. Bill O'brien will lighten this dude up.

    They showed a tweet from McCarron talking about the teams passing up on him on NFLN, and he definitely comes off as a prick

    Wasn't the the knock on Cutler
    [he is still being coached up some . . but not horrible]


    Kubiak was a QB Guru too . . . .I dunno what he did for Casey or TJ
    I cannot say how incrementally better or worse they are for his tutelage
