Couldnt find an online link but it was in the print edition 11/6 - top 3 were, in order Geno Smith, Matt Barkley and Bray going in the 1st round --

I don't know...Bray seems like a guy that scouts would drool over. He's big. He doesn't take sacks, a strong arm, and he has the quickest damn release.

He may be after this season, especially if he kills it to end the year and a bowl. He definitely would be after his senior season.

He might not take a lot of sacks but our offensive line is full of future NFL players. I think he has been sacked less than five times this year and two of those times have resulted in game ending fumbles. He is amazing against weak competition but compare those stats to his SEC games.

I could definitely see him as a late first round pick as a "next generation" QB.

But he's not ready to be a top ten pick. Can you imagine him starting from day one in the NFL (which top ten QB's do now)? Nope.

The only way Bray becomes a first round pick is if Gruden or another QB guru comes in next year and refines his game in a big way.

Otherwise, I see him as a 3rd/4th rounder.

Someone will be dissapointed if they take Bray in the 1st round. He's not going to be the guy to come in and start right away. He needs a lot of improvment on defensive recognition, awareness, and decision making when under pressure.

He has all the tools no doubt, but tools ain't enough in the NFL. I think he'll be a higher selection with another year of college ball.

2nd rounder/very early 3rd round this year, 1st rounder next year if we get Gruden.
