Bowling Green QB Omar Jacobs has declared himself eligible for the draft after receiving a 4th round pick by the NFL committee.
I believe a year behind mac and he'll be ready. I really believe he'll be a better pro than Vince Young and with a strong combine could show people his athletic ability. No matter of athletism, he's a passer and thats what we need to use our strong TE and WRs, whilst having the speed to escape the rush. I really believe this guy could give us a strong draft, similar to that of the SD chargers in 2001 when they got both LT and Drew Brees. We shouldn't now feel the need to take a QB with our first pick, get AJ Hawk and get Omar Jacobs and that draft will prove to be a steal.

receiving a 4th round pick by the NFL committee? what does that mean?
"Jacobs received a fourth-round grade from the NFL's draft advisory committee, and believes his athletic ability will be on display at the NFL scouting combine and will help his stock rise."
Btw, the 1 player I wanted last year: Marion Barber III
My one wish this year is Omar Jacobs

^^^ okay?
Omar will at worst be a mid 2nd round pick, if you ask me. When they say that he recieved a 4th round pick, it means that is his projection, without any workouts. He will raise his stock quickly.

I could definitly see him getting picked by the falcons and playing with his big brother in the 4th or 5th round. Michael could probably straighten him out, and keep him out of trouble. He could move to wide reciever too, and that won't be a bad idea, since the wide reciever class is weak and the falcons need help there.
first of all, after that rap sheet, i'd be surprised to see him go 4th or 5th
I agree with you... I would seriously consider him at #3. I know people would disagree w/me as far as Value-vs-need that high.Starkiller said:
Fallacies about jacobs...
First of all he is not a great athlete like a vince young. He is not a runner but more like a byron leftwich than a steve mcnair or donovan mcnabb. He only ran for 154 yards with a 1.5 ypc against mac defenses.
The other fallacy is that jacobs will be a 2nd rd choice. No he will be going in the first rd! The great blue north has him as the 8th best prospect overall. A bit ambitious for him but the way i see it there are about 10-11 teams that want a top propect QB and he will be rated as the 4th best QB. If he shows a strong arm in workouts he can go in rd one.
Wouldn't be bad if we could draft ferguson in rd one and jacobs in rd 2 though. I'd take that.

Roll, have you seen Jacobs run or are you going off just stats again (we know you love em)? When I saw him run, he had wheels, and I'd compare him to Steve or McNabb. I didn't see anyone using the falacy of saying he's a Vince Young.
The NFL committee gives him a 4th round. GBN says he's better. I've seen other sites that have grades ion the middle. We won't know for a few more months.

I think Vick will be lucky to be drafted after the kind of trouble he has been in and his general attitude. This is a guy that intentionally tried to hurt a player for no reason other than him making a tackle on him. Ridiculous.
Vick will get drafted, too much of Mike in him to not give him ago.
I wouldn't be so sure. He is not the athlete Mike is first of all. Also, consider his quote after getting booted off the team. His attitude makes me sick and I can't imagine a team ever considering someone like him a leader. Also consider that there are at least 8-9 QB's ranked ahead of him. We'll see I guess, but if I'm a GM, I would consider him a waste of space on my roster.
