are the Poll Results, meaning, if everybody is so high on Chad Henne then why would half of the voters still se Henne as 2nd round material. Thats weird.
Look, this is an interesting comment Gatorphan posted once in a post of mine regarding Henne and the second round possibilities of succes.

“There were a # of circumstances that lead to Henne slipping. For one- we may see teams like Minni and Chicago as having a QB need- but they may not see it as a problem at all. Minni was still stuck on the T. Jackson experiment and Chicago is content with Kyle Orton even now. Henne was also coming off of a season in which he was pretty severely injured which not only hurt his stock on its own- but also lead to inconsistent production and missed time which probably scared some teams off.

He does have a lot of the indicators for a solid NFL QB though- 4 year starter, near 60% completion rate, strong arm, and lots of intangibles. Sparano already said if Penne didn’t fall in our laps he would have won the starting job over Beck and Josh the Journeyman McCown- I know that isn’t exactly a tough feat but for a rookie it is impressive.

Obviously- we can’t be sure of what we have until we see it either- but if you combine his college career, measurables, intangibles, and the fact that he will have had at LEAST one season learning behind a smart vet in our system it looks as promising as it possibly can.

It would have to be a special QB available in the draft to make him more valuable to us than Henne- and Stafford, Sanchez, and Freeman at the top of the draft this year are not even close – I would take Henne over any of those players."

We were just one, or a few, picks away.

He was a first round talent his junior year, then dropped to second round his senior.

Crazy.

Stafford is a legit #1 overall pick. Pro-style offense; strong, accurate arm; smart; lots of college experience. The kid has everything you look for in a QB prospect. While there’s still a chance for him to bust, I think it’s a lesser chance than some of the other QB’s to be drafted high.

Henne, IMO, would’ve been ranked right behind him, and would be projected to go where people think Sanchez will go (8 to Jax, 10 to SF..).

I personally voted top 20…..but its WAY too early to say that Henne is better then Stafford and Sanchez. I think all 3 will be good QB’s under the right system.

The fact that ALL three of the top QB prospects are underclassmen speaks volumes. All three have basically the same scouting report too- lots of upside- but erratic performances.

Matt Stafford has every tool you want to see in a QB (maybe he could be an inch taller) but he is horribly inconsistent. Sometimes he looks like John Elway, other times he looks like a practice squad place holder. Matty said its fixable with coaching but I’m not so sure. It really seems like he is just uninterested a lot of the times he is playing (see 99 yards against Kentucky in 07, or 146 yards against South Carolina last year). He basically coasted on talent in college and I don’t know if he has the mental make-up to cut it as an NFL QB (ie if he will be willing to put in the work required). All I’m gonna say is- he nearly lost to Vanderbilt. . . twice.

Sanchez is more athletic than Stafford but doesn’t have quite the live arm. He has played in even fewer games, and was more erratic. The fact that he was so inconsistent on such a great team is a red flag to me- and he would have been an .500 winning percentage guy if he didn’t have arguably the best college defense of all time backing him up last year. He screams Ryan Leaf to me- ie he has some talent but he should have stayed in school.

I don’t even want to get into Freeman. Let me just say- vs. winning teams he had a sub-53% completion rate, and had 5 TDs vs 6 INTs. If he goes in the first round its a joke.

All three are going to be drafted almost purely on upside, which IMO is extremely dangerous. Henne probably has a lower ceiling due to his lack of athleticism, but he is a more proven and steady commodity and fits our offense better anyways since we don’t run a lot of bootlegs or designed QB runs.

If I were to guess in this draft, Stafford would go ahead based on his upside. Sanchez would go ahead based on. . . well based on the fact that he went to USC. I think Henne would however, go above Freeman- either at the bottom of the first, top of the second. If he was entirely healthy his senior year I think he would have gone higher than he did- but of course a shoulder injury on a QB is probably going to scare some teams away. I think we got a steal in Henne where we took him actually though since it looks like he has healed well- in fact I don’t think this regime had even planned on taking a QB so early but I think his value at that point was too good to pass up.

Quarterback A:
666-1109-60.1%-7802-70TD-28Int-TD2Int Ratio (2.5 to 1)

Quarterback B:
564-987-57.1%-7731-51TD-33Int-TD2Int Ratio (1.55 to 1)

I think Stafford and Sanchez would be picked first though.

and he would probably be picked in the same place this year. If he was in this years draft, he would be rated behind Sanchez, Stafford, and Freeman. According to profootball.scout.com (http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&p=9&c=12&yr=2009&nid=83&lnid=124&rc=4&pid=10) those 3 QB’s are 5 star rated. In 2008 they only had one 5 star rated QB and that was Matt Ryan. Flacco and Henne were 4 star rated players.

Why I don’t always agree with the ratings on this site, I think that they do a nice job of giving a big picture of the high quality players regardless of position. For example, in this years draft they have 35 5-star players. In ’08 30 5-star players. In ’07, 18.
