***Official Draft Tyler Wilson Thread****

[Mr_Tomahawk]

...might as well get this started early.

Perhaps his injury well allow him to slip to the middle of the of the 1st round,..where we tend to draft.

They got a picture of Wilson at measurements this morning. Didn't realize he had such small hands.

I would be interested to know if any of the starters in the NFL have small hands.


If it's really a big deal or not

Alex Smith.

[O.city]

I'm sure some will say that since he has small hands he can't throw in bad weather, like happens in KC. Which will be bs, as we don't exactly have snowstorm after snowstorm.

However, it is a concern.

That's a really bad comparison imo. Alex Smith isn't a scrambler, he strictly ran the spread, and he didn't play any decent talent. Comparing Tyler Wilson in college to Alex Smith in college is crazy imo. Also, Wilson is a confident gunslinger. Smith is a nervous guy who took years to trust his arm....even though he probably has a stronger arm than Wilson.

Also, this whole small hands thing is dumb imo. Who cares if he can throw the ball? Lorenzenlasted probably had the biggest hands ever and only lasted couple of years as a back up. He wasn't anywhere close to having the strongest arm and barely put zip on the ball.

The hands issue concerns how well he can throw the ball when it's slippery or hard to grip in shitty conditions.

The 2013 rookie quarterback class is wide open. Ask five NFL draft analysts for their favorite players in the class, and you might get five different answers. There have even been suggestions that no signal caller will get drafted in the first round.
Brooks: Hot Senior Bowl prospects
Bucky Brooks identifies 10 prospects to follow at the Senior Bowl, including a potential Jason Pierre-Paul clone. More ...

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock advises against that logic.

"It's early in this entire process," Mayock said during NFL Network's Senior Bowl coverage. "Everyone says there's no Andrew Luck, there's no Robert Griffin III. ... I guarantee you by the time we get to April there will be three to four quarterbacks taken in the first round and most of them are coming out of this game."

Mayock's words are surprising, but they shouldn't be. Christian Ponder, Jake Locker, Ryan Tannehill and Brandon Weeden were all taken higher than analysts expected in April, much less in late January. Colin Kaepernick and Andy Dalton also almost rose to first round status, and were hardly viewed as surefire top picks early in the process.

The point here: Projections from draftniks at this stage of the process aren't worth much. The NFL's decision makers don't know where these guys will land, so we definitely don't know from the outside. And Mayock pointed out that the emphasis on the quarterback position will naturally make some of this year's promising crop go early.

Among those top Senior Bowl quarterbacks Mayock talked about were N.C. State's Mike Glennon, Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, Miami of Ohio's Zac Dysert, and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib.

It's hard to say who will get drafted first out of this group. But don't be surprised if most of them go in round one.

Read on twitter that Nassib and Glennon had bad days today in Mobile. Have to wait and see on them.

Holy shit. Is that from tip of pinky to tip of thumb? If so I have bigger hands lol.

[RunKC]

I think small hands hurt him, but I don't remember Wilson fumbling a lot when I watched him.

I know EJ Manuel fumbled like 8 or 9 times this year and he has huge hands.
Could be a legit concern for Wilson though.

They're also the QBs (discussed near the top of this class) with the worst throwing mechanics.

JFC, Alex Smith was brought up because he too has small hands. Someone asked about NFL qb hand size.

The two weren't compared.

ALSO no one is saying big hands makes a qb good.

kindly shut the **** up while grown ups are talking now please

I can say, as a semi Hogs fan, I watched every game he's played the last two years. Don't remember him fumbling this season, last year I vaguely remember a few. Not sure though.
