QB - Jeff Rowe Day 2

After going thru all the QBs I have to say this kid seems to be a good fit late in the draft. One year as a number 3 then he should be able to step into the 2 in 2008. Now real threat for at least a three of years to push for a shoot.

7. Jeff Rowe - 6049, 226 4.91, Nevada
A slightly-overlooked QB who has been somewhat hidden in the WAC over the years, but is on everybody's radar screens now, and for good reason. Was the MVP of the East-West Shrine Game, and boosted his stock there, with a solid week of practice, by at least a round. Mature RS senior who has seen plenty of playing time in his college career dating all the way back to the 2002 season when he played in 6 games. Has steadily improved and no longer makes the bonehead decisions he made when younger. Tall: a legitimate 6'5". Moves well in the pocket. Nice compact delivery for a tall guy. Nice timing and touch, but can also fire it. Very accurate and excels in the short to intermediate passing game. Checks down well. His TD/Int ratio, passing percentage, total yardage have all gotten better each year in the program. Runs well for a big guy and has found the endzone a lot while running it. Adapts well to new offenses. A leader. Pretty tough. Plays hurt. Smart with great leadership abilities.

The Nevada offense put him in the short shotgun all year and he has not been under center much lately. Did not work under center a lot and will have to adjust to a pro style offense. Arm strength is just average and will struggle going deep and isn't a vertical passer. Is not overly athletic. Is a better pure runner than Bledsoe, but has some of that kind of lack of pocket presence. Exposes himself too often, and gets hit a lot. He is a big target for pass rushers and still makes bad decisions once in awhile. He'll hold onto the ball too long and make some poor decisions. Frail frame, but with room to get stronger. Intangibles are not really there. A little goofy.

An exciting project QB who should do well holding clipboards in the right situation for a couple years before being tried as a starter. Would appear to be an ideal fit in the West Coast offense.
