Tim Tebow (Blessed)

26 QB Tim Tebow Florida Sr. 6-3 245 This one is pure projection on my behalf, but hear me out: Tebow's rough week at the Senior Bowl notwithstanding, it's only going to take one team to fall in love with him to make him a low first-rounder. Why the Cardinals? If Kurt Warner retires Friday as expected, does anyone think Arizona has 100 percent confidence in Matt Leinart at this point? And we already know Ken Whisenhunt doesn't mind playing two QBs in the same game, because he did it with Warner and Leinart in 2007. As rough as things were for the Cardinals defense in the playoffs, that side of the ball probably should get first-round attention. But for now, we're sliding our Tebow chips to Arizona's square.

from cnnsi mock draft.

That mock draft starts out well in the first half, and then just loses credibility. He admits that Mays' stock is free falling as scouts are seeing everything they feared about him, and yet he still pegs him as the 20th pick when he projects in the 2nd round right now.

There's a point in the draft where Tebow becomes the best available player. You don't pick him because you need a QB, and you definitely don't pick him because you think you can move him to TE, H-back, FB, OLB, punter or waterboy. Ideally, you're the GM of a team with a stable QB position for the next few years, and you try developing him on the cheap. If he doesn't pan out, then you experiment with some other position. Consider it a 3-4 year gamble for third round money, presuming he falls to second day.

Just on size, athletic ability and work ethic, he'll stick around for a few years and either develop into a QB or move positions. This isn't an Eric Crouch situation where the guy will just quit. As long as someone is willing to give him a shot to play something, somewhere, he'll do it.

I just dont see how people assume he'd be a TE anywhere. Who says he can block nfl players or catch a football? I'd draft him in a situation where I could get him cheap and see how it goes..If it's little to nothing to lose then no big deal. He obviously has skills or he wouldn't have accomplished what he has.

How do we know this?

I mean....I know he was the greatest leader evar at college and people who make plaques for a living followed him around at the ready in the hopes that he said something. But when has he ever been put in a position when he needed to 'do it'? I don't know of one in college......look at that supporting cast.

Actually....the first time he was faced with mortality, he all of a sudden has strep throat and ends up in the hospital. I'm not saying he would pull an Eric Crouch, but I don't think we can rule it out just because he worked hard at Florida. Anybody else would work just as hard if the rewards were so obvious and attainable.

First home schooling, and now strep? :shake: He deserves the hatred.

I know you're joking and all...but for anybody that might confuse this as a serious reply, I'm not hating on him. I'm actually saying he was such a good college QB he was never really tested.

He was tested at this combine/workout/whatever and failed pretty hard......then all of a sudden is too sick to finish the week out.

In fact, it is widely believed that his decision to play pro ball is driven by his wanting to use sports as a platform to reach as many pre-pubescent Filipino boys as possible, and to use his wealth and greater notoriety to ring them to his mansion at Timmyland.
