Unconquered

Lunacy. They can get him 7th in 2nd round which would still be a tremendous moment for EJ. Though I think 7th in the third would be most likely. First round means you can delete that website from the "I should check their mock draft" list.

I wish upon wishes the 49ers would draft him end of the 2nd and then they could shed Alex Smith.

That's higher than Ponder.

Everyone can bash EJ with how he performed at FSU and rightfully so but there is no denying his abilities. Given the right coach he can flourish and let loose. His faults may be a product of his surroundings. I will also add that if he runs a good 40 and flashes a big arm every scout in the NFL will look at his faults and believe they can mold him ino a successful pro.

So, your post was an attempt to draw the board's ire towards EJ? Good job.

I think he would do great with chip Kelly.

Wow. I wouldn't use a pick that high on him. I like EJ and think he can do well in the right system (keeping it a little more simple) but 7th overall?

There is no fence sitting with EJ. Either you were a fan or you were frustrated. However, I feel that no matter which side you were on this ranking seems off target.

I believe the thought behind the thread was not to bring up the EJ debate as much as it was to discredit the ranking itself.

Great post.

EJ can run, throw, and lead. He has all the tools, and he has a head on his shoulders. Plus, QBs are a premium in the NFL. There seem to be very few with sustained success.

I'm not sure what the laughter is about, but a QB of EJ's caliber and potential is valuable to GMs.

Great for the program but would be possibly the worst draft pick I can remember (if he went that high)

My bad if that was not your intent. I am a little tired of the "EJ is the reason that FSU didn't achieve the ultimate goal" crowd. Fans of a team are the worst at evaluating one of their own, as every snap is overly scrutinized and infused with passion, rather than, objectivity. The fact that most only concentrate on their own team leaves so much room for error in judging what they truly have in relation to what other fan bases are forced to endure, week in and week out.

The NFL is a copy cat league. Too many judge the QB position with the Manning's and Brady's in mind. Just not so anymore. The Newton's, Wilson's, Griffin's, and Kaepernick's aren't going anywhere. I don't know where EJ will stack up against those mentioned, but I can see a team falling in love with grabbing a QB in that mold very early. All it takes is one.

I am a big fan of EJ, but recognize he didn't have the kinda year we all hoped for.
I never can figure out the NFL draft. Players with little experience get picked over successful college players.
Players that struggle at times get picked really high if they are in a position of demand.
And players who are picked in late rounds many times are more successful than early round players despite the early round players be given more chances to succeed.
So could EJ go really high? Absolutely. Could he go mid rounds? Yes. Which is more likely? Have no clue
