Gunnin' for #1 QB Spot in Class of 2013

[shylo3716]

I'm going to list potential 2013 QB prospects who will fight for the #1 spot come next year. Keep in mind a few guys from the projected 2012 class may return.

Order varies for the moment. I will officially update this after the underclassmen deadline.

1. Matt Barkley USC
2. Aaron Murray UGA
3. Tyler Bray Tennessee
4. Landry Jones Oklahoma*
5. Tyler Wilson Arkansas

Honorable mention

• Mike Glennon NC State
• E.J. Manuel FSU
• Geno Smith West Virginia
• A.J. McCarron Alabama
• Tajh Boyd Clemson
• Logan Thomas Virginia Tech

It will be either Matt Barkley or Tyler Wilson

Right now I have Barkley coming out. I really do believe if any QB returns from that class it would be Jones, which would make the 2013 class wide open.

[SickwithIt1010]

Landry Jones would be dumb to come back, he will lose the job to Bell at the rate hes going.

Aaron Murray is tiny, I like him and I think he could be good but I dont see anyone taking him number 1 by any means.

I really like Bray, and hope he has a good year next season. Think hes got some potential.

Remember Matt Ryan went #3 overall? So keep in mind, he can be the #1 QB off the board, just not the #1 overall pick.

[Raiderz4Life]

Yea I think Barkley comes back..if he does idk if anyone will take #1 from him.

1. Tyler Wilson
2. Tyler Bray
3. Landry Jones
4. Brock Osweiler
5. Casey Pachall


The first three are surefire first rounders as things stand now, even though I don't personally like Landry Jones much. Tyler Bray has the chance to be the best out of the bunch, even though he's proven a little less than those other guys. Still, when I watch him throw the football I come away seeing a guy who well could be a franchise quarterback in the NFL.

Well Matt Ryan is 3 Inches taller then Murray.

I realized this. If you happened to come across the 2013 Mock posted in that forum you would see I pointed that out.

[Paul]

Ahh okay. I'll make a point of taking notice of every post you make from now on. Sorry about that.

My arguement is not him being the #1 QB. I'm just stating the obvious of what will be brought up, so I used the Ryan reference to give a clear visual of what may come about.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Anyone from the Virginia area.

* From a draft position and financial perspective it was a mistake. It will be very difficult for Barkley to have a better season than he just had. Just look at his stats and the way USC closed out their season. The fact that some were even debating whether Barkley was a better prospect than Andrew Luck, which is ludicrous, speaks volumes about how his stock plateaued.

* Let's say for arguments sake that Barkley would have been the #5 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. If he goes #1 overall in the 2013 NFL Draft it will net him an extra $2.5 million. However, if he slips to #10 overall it will cost him $7.5 million. Also, Barkley is wasting a year of earning potential and it's not like football players get to play for decades (unless you are Brett Favre).

* Barkley's game is ripe to be picked apart and overanalyzed. People are going to point out his lack of top physical tools and say he is a product of all the talent around him (best set of wideouts in the country, etc). Could be a Matt Leinart situation.

* Barkley isn't going to have the buzz a year from now. A was a big reason why Mark Sanchez was selected as early as he was. Sanchez struck while the iron was hot, Barkley did not.

* I know Robert Griffin III wants to return to school, but this is going to be too good of an opportunity to pass up in my opinion. Landry Jones may have to re-think his decision as well. This could also be huge for Ryan Tannehill.

* Fans of the Redskins, Dolphins, Browns and Seahawks should be very concerned.

All I have to say is Barkley better not slip in performance, because this will only help Murray's case especially with both being measured around 6'1"-6'2"ish

[BamaFalcon59]

With his tools and the rate he is progressing, Logan Thomas will be a high pick for somebody.

Slim chance Murray goes ahead of him. Or Wilson, but I've not been too impressed with him.

[keylime_5]

let's wait and see which junior QBs declare before we worry about ranking next year's QBs. Barkley especially will be a big factor, there is a pretty decent chance he stays in school.

[RaiderNation]

I'm thinking Wilson or Barkley depending of if Barkley goes pro this year. Wilson is set to have a awesome year next season at Arkansas

[OSUGiants17]

Here's how I think it will end up:
1. Matt Barkley
2. Tyler Bray
3. Tyler Wilson
4. Brock Osweiler
5. Aaron Murray
6. Collin Klein
7. Tajh Boyd
8. Mike Glennon
9. Geno Smith
10. EJ Manuel

I like next years potential A LOT more than This years. This year has Luck, RG3, Landry(who I don't even like, all he has is the measureables, he'll bust if he has to start day 1), and Tannenhill(idk if I spelt it right, sorry)

Keith Price. There, I said it. In my eyes, the guy's not a bad prospect. He doesn't have elite arm strength but it's "good" at least and likely above average. He has good athleticism and generally makes good decisions. He already plays in a pro-style system and completed 67% of his passes even in a system that utilizes a more downfield passing game. Like Murray, he's not very big (listed as 6'1" and 195 pounds), but he's got a frame that will allow him to gain some weight and despite his height, he doesn't have a ton of balls batted down. I think he could potentially have a Robert Griffin-esque rise from obscurity to be a higher pick.

I like Price, but size will be as solid of a knock as they come on him. He's got a very quick release and throws a good ball down the field though, so we'll have to see. Can't see a quarterback who will likely measure at 6'0 on the nose nose(Locker and Mason Foster ended up being an inch shorter than their listed heights) going in the first few rounds though. Don't see Robert Griffin type ability there either, even with the size. Regardless of his pro prospects he should be a damn good player for Washington next year.

[FUNBUNCHER]

Tyler Wilson, Mike Glennon and Geno Smith will be the top rated pro prospects at the end of the 2012 season. Brock Osweiler is my darkhorse.

[CashmoneyDrew]

I hope Braysus stays for his senior year...

[MassNole]

It will be interesting to see what happens if E.J. Manuel has even a competent OL in front of him. He also needs to lose that video game glitch spin move he has when leaving the pocket.
