Re: Lee, Beckham, Landry among WR options
 

From the perspective of a non-LSU fan I like Mettenberger if he falls to us. He has some authority about him when he stands in the pocket and obviously his arm is great. I do wonder how he's going to be in terms of distributing the ball to running backs and wide receivers. As much as I like his talent he's got a little bit of Stafford/Cutler in him (the bad parts). But that is probably as much coaching as anything else.

But I don't think we need a QB. Griffin is our heir apparent.

As for the receivers I like Beckham a lot. He's probably become my #1 hope for the first round. With his speed and RAC ability we could do all kinds of things with reverses and quick screens that our current group of receivers just can't pull off. Not to mention punt returns. Landry, I'm kind of meh on. I just don't see anything in him that we don't already have with Toon.

Marquise Lee strikes me as a typical flashy USC player meaning that he probably won't live up to expectations. I can't remember the last time a USC offensive player really did.

I like Allen Robinson.

4 td's better on a lesser team. And the guy who won them the head to head match up.

Re: Lee, Beckham, Landry among WR options
 

He threw the ball 50 more times. Both QB's were fantastic in that head to head match up. Aaron Murray's team won, but Mettenberger didn't lose the game.

Jarvis in the second? steal

no way he last's IMO the kid is too good of a ball player

Re: Lee, Beckham, Landry among WR options
 

Zach? i say he is a solid 3rd now. if a teams gets a man crush on him possible bottom 2? then again dallas did draft old whats his nam at OC in the first round last year so you never know.

I think Zach has a chance to be one of the top QB down the road in say three years from this draft.

if the saints picked him and let him sit and develop i could live with it. i think

Here's a little on the pro day from LSU.

Re: Lee, Beckham, Landry among WR options
 

I thought Ryan Griffin was the long term solution to back up quarterback? Did the team or coaches give some kind of indication that wasn't the case anymore?

On a related topic, I get no rumors in Utah!!! I was talking to a guy down the street yesterday that thought I was French because I was always flying fluer de lis flags outside my house.
