QBs: Garrett Grayson vs. Bryce Petty

I'm gonna go with Petty. The guy I want is going back for his senior year.

 

Found this article about the Jets interviewing Petty

The Senior Bowl gives teams a chance to get an initial feel for a prospect. How they stack up against competition that is their equal. Teams will talk with a lot of prospects, but a lot of teams with key in on a few specific players they are trying to get a dossier of information on. Either they have questions they want answered or they want to build as strong a case as possible when presenting their recommendation to the general manager and head coach.

You can never read too much into the Senior Bowl, but having spoken to scouts, there is some significance in who the team spends a lot of time with. According to a report by Ben Bolton who covers high school sports in Auburn and Alabama, the Jets took the time to have a good sit down with QB prospect Bryce Petty:

The former Baylor star ended the 2014 season with 3855 yards, 29 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. It was his second year starting after impressing in 2013 to the tune of 4200 yards 32 touchdowns to 3 interceptions.

The scouting report on Petty? He's smaller than you'd like and his release is low, that's worrying. He takes his snaps from the shotgun and technically he'll need to do a lot to get ready for the next level. His feet and mechanics are inconsistent and his accuracy can suffer, especially when throwing downfield. However if he gets into a tempo he can really move an offense, he has good pocket awareness and does work through reads when his pre-snap option isn't available.

He has been a little disappointing so far at the senior bowl, reportedly suffering with accuracy issues and timing. However don't be too down on him, a lot of players have struggled at the Senior Bowl, including a recent Superbowl winner in Russell Wilson.

 

I would take Grayson, he is more comfortable working from under center, than Petty.

 

Pass on both if we don't get winston or mariota don't even waste a pick on a qb this draft

 

So I take it Mannion looked pretty good? Word from the Manning camp was he was the most pro-ready qb there. Then he comes and plays leagues better during the Senior bowl than during the season.

 

Mariota or Winston.

Mariota = Bryce Petty on PED's

 

Idk I saw his first drive looked ok but read no qb really stood out....it's a really weak draft for qbs.....ok the other hand seems like a deep OL draft

 

Bump.

If the Saints offered us Grayson straight up for Petty, would you take it?

 

+1

Not if they threw in 5 picks.

Petty has a higher upside so I'd keep him, but to me they are both long term backups in the NFL.

 

Hell no

 

No. Not on draft day last year, not now.
