Would Landry Jones Better returning for another year?

Every other week I’ll be interviewing Dan Kadar of Mocking the Draft for his thoughts on the happenings around College Football. I’ll ask questions as it relates to the N.F.L. draft in a segment that I call Saturday Six (because there are six questions). But since I have a bunch of scouting reports being published tomorrow I thought I’d get this Q and A out there today.  After you read this, make sure to swing over to Mockingthedraft and check out what they got going on out there and then come back to NFLmocks throughout the day

Enjoy!

1). There are a lot of quarterbacks who could potentially grade out as first rounders that are draft elegible: Andrew Luck, Landry Jones, Matt Barkley, Robert Griffin, Ryan Tannehill, and Brock Osweiler…Only Tannehill is a senior. Which other quarterbacks do you think actually declare?

1. I don’t think any others would declare, and I’m not so sure that Osweiler and Jones should or that Griffin will. I say that about Osweiler and Jones because both still have a ways to go in regard to managing the pocket. With Griffin, you just never know what the NFL Draft Advisory Committee will tell him. People like us will like him, but if they grade him as a third-round player, why would he come out? The only other juniors you’d have to wonder about are Tyler Wilson of Arkansas (unlikely), Geno Smith of West Virginia (unlikely) and Sean Renfree of Duke (unlikeliest).

2). Stock Up. Stock Down. Who’s one player who’s stock has gone up the last two weeks and one who’s stock has gone down?

2. Southern California junior Nick Perry is finally starting to impress, so his stock is up some. He’s still a raw pass rusher, but he’s finally playing more aggressive and getting into the back field more often. Texas defensive tackle Kheeston Randall has had a puzzling season. He’s not getting off the line of scrimmage as fast as he did last year and he’s being overpowered. I thought going into this year he was possibly a top 64 pick, but he isn’t playing like it right now.

Saturday Six (on Friday): Q With Mocking the Draft. Would Landry Jones Be Better off Returning for another year? - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

Brown has uncommon speed, can he handle the big TE Dwayne Allen

The most important game for me today, as a guy who is most interested in the N.F.L. draft is the game between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Clemson Tigers. The Tar Heels are 5-2 (1-2 in the ACC) and the Tigers are 7-0 (4-0) in the A.C.C so it might not be the most important game as far as BCS Standings go or anything, but these teams are filled with N.F.L. prospects.

North Carolina Defense vs Clemson Offense

This mathcup is will I’ll be focusing on all day.

Star DE Quinton Coples has had somewhat of a sluggish start to the season but had a nice game vs the Hurricanes . This year he’s faced a lot more double teams and his numbers are down. He still applies pressure on the quarterback, but is he showing enough to warrant a top 10 selection? Up to this point, I’d say no. He really needs to have some dominant games down the stretch here to secure his spot as the top 43 DE in college football.

Is Robert Griffin a Better Pro Prospect than last year's #8th overall pick, Jake Locker

Each and every week I’ll have a back and forth with Mockingthedraft’s Dan Kadar about the upcoming 2012 N.F.L. draft. Earlier this week we discussed’ “Suck for Luck”, Lamar Miller, Robert Griffin, Zach Brown, Landry Jones, and Riley Reiff.

1) Is it possible that any team that drafted a QB in the first round last year (or the Rams) would take Andrew Luck if they were picking first overall? Only the Titans seem to be competing for anything this year so it’s possible any of them might be picking first at this moment. And, if not, what kind of ransom do you think they’d be able to hold that pick for?

 It’s a little too early to know that for sure, especially considering Christian Ponder hasn’t played for the Minnesota Vikings. It will be interesting to see what the Vikings do after their bye week. Donovan McNabb is struggling, so they might to see what they have in Ponder. Obviously the Panthers will probably be content with Cam Newton. It’s hard to say about the Jaguars and Blaine Gabbert, but I lean toward them not being in the running for another quarterback.

This weekend was the first weekend of play for the Pac-12. How did the new conference do? That depends on how you look at it. In total, 8 of the 12 teams won their games. However, given a little perspective, it’s easy to see that the conference has a ton of questions going forward. Let’s take a look at how each of the teams did.

Arizona- 41 Northern Arizona- 10
In a division with elite quarterback prospects like Andrew Luck and Matt Barkley, it was important for Arizona quarterback Nick Foles to come out of the gates with a bang. He did just that against Northern Arizona completing 34 of 42 passes for 412 yards and 5 touchdowns. Foles played great against the inferior Northern Arizona. He threw 3 of his 5 touchdown passes in the 3rd quarter. Stud Wide Receiver had a great day catching 6 passes for 151 yards and 1 touchdown. Arizona only ran the ball 15 times. 9 of the carries went to freshman RB Ka’Deem Carey who turned those 9 carries into 59 yards. The other carries went to senior RB Keola Antolin who ran the ball 6 times for 41 yards. Arizona’s defense was solid throughout the game limiting Northern Arizona to just 259 yards of offense for the entire game. Redshirt senior CB Trevin Wade interception a pass that swung the momentum back to Arizona after they fell flat in the 2nd quarter and allowed Northern Arizona to get within 4. Altogether, it was a great start for Arizona, but it’s impossible to draw conclusions about how good the team could be based off this game. They enter a brutal stretch where they will be well tested in the coming weeks with tough matches against @Oklahoma St, Stanford, Oregon, and @USC.
