says Brennan, Woodson and Erik Ainge have been disappointing...

Henne, Booty and Flacco have helped themselves.

Pass on them all

Flacco, I don't know much about and he may be good but the rest. Blech.

Henne? Henie.
Booty? Booty.
Brennan? Just sucks
Ainge? Mange

i wouldn't mind a late round flyer on any of them

well, not necessarily any from this particular group, but i do think we should draft a QB w/ good tools somewhere after the 4th round. hopefully not before, though. we need OL's and a SS badly.

nothing wrong

with that. We all want to catch tom Brady in a bottle but I don't want to see the bears draft a an early as fifth or sixth round

if a QB the team really likes is there

in the 4th round, i say we take him. in general, though, i say we focus heavily on OL and SS ie the first 3 rounds. grab a RB and/or WR in the 3rd-5th rounds, a QB somewhere around there or later if we really like one.

What's the point then?

QB's taken that late have about a 10% chance of ever even playing in the NFL, and about a 5% of even getting a start. That late and it's about 1 in a 1000 that one turns out to be really good. Don't even draft a QB if you're waiting that long.

Dear Jerry Angelo...

Please don't take a QB in the first round. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another scout.com link..

A rundown of the 6 QB's at the Senior Bowl and how they've looked in practice (earlier in the week). A little more detail than previous articles...

More from Senior Bowl...

heard Chris Mortenson on ESPN radio this morning and he said Henne and Flacco looked the best of the QB's by a wide margin.

He did say that Brennan, Woodson and Ainge were being coached by Mike Martz, who was coaching them up pretty hard and they may have struggled some trying to take all that in...

This one is premium content

http://chi.Scout.com/a.z?s=25&p=2&c=723509

but a former scout's take...

Of the six who chose to compete, I felt Delaware's Joe Flacco was the hands-down best of the group. He really has good throwing mechanics, a very live accurate throwing arm, and he made some very good throwing decisions in the team's period.

and

The remaining two in attendance were, to say the least, disappointing. It was painful to watch Kentucky's Andre Woodson, touted a superior athlete, throw the football on the move. And his wind-up, deliberate throwing delivery is going to be extremely difficult to fix in my opinion.

Bashed Brennan as well...

thinks Booty, Henne and Ainge have the size and physical traits to be QB's, but would need 2-3 years of apprenticeship.

I'll put the other positions in a diary...
