Logan Thomas looks like Daunte Culpepper 2.0 (and I don't mean that as a definitive insult or compliment) Edit: Should also throw in Josh Freeman as a low-end result
IMO he's too much of a project to be taken before the 4th round. He could be made into something....maybe, but it's very risky and would take several seasons.
Assuming make an A** out of U and ME I never suggested taking him early, he is worth a flier in the 5 round and beyond
There are no other quarterbacks of Mallets stature 6'6 / 6'7 that have been successful. ...He is too tall and slow.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...an-exnfl-player-scout?campaign=Twitter_nfl_cb The Houston Texans' reported interest in New England Patriots quarterback Ryan Mallett could give the team the ideal "win-win" situation on draft day. The team desperately needs to acquire a young quarterback with elite talent to legitimately compete in the AFC, yet the 2014 quarterback class doesn't offer a "can't-miss" prospect at the position. While I believe Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel and eventually Blake Bortles could develop into solid starting quarterbacks in the NFL, there are certainly questions about whether each prospect possesses enough blue-chip characteristics (size, arm talent and leadership skills) to be considered at the top of the board. That's why the Texans' potential move to acquire Mallett makes sense for a team trying to return to the ranks of the elite in the AFC. The third-year pro is a classic dropback passer who would likely rank as the top quarterback in this class based on his size, arm talent and production at Arkansas during his final season. In fact, you could argue that he should have been the second or third quarterback taken in the 2011 draft, if character concerns didn't cloud his evaluation. Mallett was a better pure passer than Jake Locker, Christian Ponder and Blaine Gabbert by a considerable margin; he demonstrated more blue-chip characteristics than Andy Dalton throughout his collegiate career. Although Mallett hasn't had many opportunities to showcase his talents as a pro in regular-season action, scouts have been impressed with his arm talent, pocket presence and leadership skills when studying his performance in the preseason. From the Texans' perspective, Mallett is intriguing because he is familiar with Bill O'Brien's offensive system and he has spent three seasons acclimating to the NFL as Tom Brady's backup. Of course, that doesn't guarantee success as a potential starter, but the fact that O'Brien played an integral role in evaluating and developing Mallett during his time in New England (they spent the 2011 season together with the Patriots) could help the third-year pro hit the ground running as a starter in Houston. Looking at draft implications, the Texans would likely lose their second-round pick, but gain the services of a young quarterback with more potential than any quarterback in the 2014 class. Additionally, the retention of the No. 1 overall pick would allow the team to select Jadeveon Clowney to fortify a defense that is already regarded as one of the best in the league. Given the recent success of the Seattle Seahawks, who won a championship behind a dominant defense and a young, talented quarterback, the move to acquire Mallett could help the Texans become a contender again in the AFC.
Why are people so interested in mallet? His only significant nfl experience is an int...too the freaking texans, that is sad.
Peter King: I think if a team trades for Ryan Mallett, it has to make a deal knowing he hasn’t played a game of football since 2010. And what makes this such a difficult trade beyond the obvious—can the man play?—is that this is a very good draft, and no team is going to want to trade a significant pick this year for Mallett. So the smart deal would be, say, a fifth-round pick this year and a conditional pick next year, based on whether he plays and how much he plays in 2014. In essence, I don’t see how it makes sense for the Patriots to trade him this year, leaving them devoid of a No. 2 quarterback with knowledge of the system in a season when Tom Brady turns 37. A Mallett deal makes no sense to me, for either side.
Ok .. Peyton is about 6'5 on the account of his super neck ....... Joe Flacco might be the worst QB with a super bowl ring next to Trent Dilfer... .

Seems like a guy that could at the very least help install the system and be a backup, and be a game-managing starter if need be. Was looking good in Cleveland under Norv Turner last year before getting hurt. I bet we could get him for a 4th rd pick or so. You could still draft a QB and/or go after Mccown but Hoyer would be a good safety net IMO.
Joe Flacco had a better super bowl run during the playoffs than both Brees and Rodgers. Flacco also beat Manning, Brady, and a very good San Francisco defense during that run. Manning beat Rex Grossman when he won the super bowl... Lol. Flacco did a lot more than Trent Dilfer.
