Senior Bowl's Biggest Winners and Losers
Quote:
 
Tajh Boyd, QB Clemson

In the not-too-distant past, Boyd was considered a Top 10 pick. He went on to have a tremendous season, but areas of his game were questioned.

The two biggest issues with Boyd are anticipation and ball placement.

Due to Clemson’s wide-open offense, it became clear in Mobile, Boyd isn’t comfortable throwing to a spot. He looks for wide receivers to get open before he wants to unleash a pass.

There is also a built-in excuse for all quarterbacks participating in the Senior Bowl that they’re not accustomed to throwing to the receivers in attendance. Yet, Boyd’s ball placement was poor even in drills. Receivers continually had to adjust to his throws.

Boyd clearly is no longer a first-day pick. The question now is whether he’ll even be selected in the second or third rounds.

Those questioning Kiffin about not pushing for Boyd and thinking he would beat Bray out, had better rethink that thought. It was not going to happen.

Boyd played in an offense that was suited for him. He would have struggled in our pro set offense.
I don't know many NFL scouts that consider Boyd a 1st day guy, ever, but he has done pretty well this week in Mobile. Carr may have moved into 1st round consideration and Garoppolo may have 2nd round consideration. Boyd and the rest may last to the 3rd day.

Accuracy on the North squad is poor. Arm strength is excellent. The North QBs look like NFL QBs and the South QBs perform like NFL QBs.

We are still waiting on Bortles at the combine and will see how he fits. I have heard everything from great arm to ave arm. He is big and athletic.

I have found that opinions vary greatly on QBs. Most of the people that had Boyd, etc as 1st round QBs were the press. When the NFL scouts start looking at each game, they spit out very critical grades of where ea belongs in the draft. Long way till the draft.

The pro guys here in H-Town - that being the "General", new HC O'Brien and his staff pretty much summed up this group as " a ..deep but otherwise unspectacular talent"

When Derek Carr is described by the pro guys here in H-town as the premier offensive talent, outshining "a deep but otherwise unspectacular talent" i.e. slim pickings.

The Texans, if they keep the #1 pick will go the Clowney route..

Are the Texans going to play 3-4 or 4-3 defense?
