Undrafted is a big difference from taking one with the 4th overall pick. The Risk is obviously different.
Let's face it... There's not many Romo's coming out of small schools like that very often.

Anyone watch the collegiate bowl?
Jatavis Brown from Akron really stood out at LB. Just wouldn't stop making plays. Seems a little undersized but what a backer.
Not sure what round he's projected but wouldn't mind seeing us grab him at some point. Probably late.

Terrance Williams was a 3rd rd pick. The numbers he has put up as a 3rd rd pick and no better than a 3rd or 4th option in the passing game are quite good. I'm not sure why some of you continue to bash the guy. It wasn't like we drafted him with the expectations to be Randy Moss or Michael Irvin. Per season he's averaged 45 catches, 700 yds, about 5-6 tds and nearly 17 yds per catch since he has been here.
Escobar was wasted by the coaches, he was not a bad pick or rated poorly by the scouts IMO.

He didnt look anything like Matt Schaub or Mike Glennon when I watched him. Not sure how you see that.

I agree, really liked what I saw in that title game and what I've seen on the YouTube stuff.
I also think he benefits from not playing in a spread style offense like so many of these other QB's who run up gaudy numbers.

What round Williams got drafted in doesn't mean a whole lot when he's on the field and supposed to be producing... Which so far he's shown a great ability to drop important passes and an incredible ability to run his routes 3-4 yards short of the first down marker nearly every single time.

I didn't watch the video but I did watch that title game, played in cold/windy conditions. Seemed like he was throwing the ball pretty crisp then.

He had some issues this yr with some drops (especially early in the season) but otherwise he has not dropped many passes.
As far as running the routes short of the FD, he isn't the only one guilty of that. Jason Witten does that probably at least half the time on 3rd downs. I don't think the players decide what distances to run routes, the coaches do that and the players do what they are told.
I still don't know how you or anyone else can claim he hasn't been productive. How many fucking balls do you expect the 3rd or 4th option in a passing game to get? Especially the last 2+ seasons, where the offense has clearly gotten more balanced between run and pass.

I like Jeremiah and Brugler a lot, and they seem to disagree with you significantly on this. Sturm also loves him.
As I mentioned before I'm very anxious to see how he fares next week in the practices.

How many would have been drafted #4 overall if their draft was held again?

Once you said "Wentz= Q Carter" I stopped reading anything you had to say on that subject.

As a matter of fact the very first pass in that video is a spiral.

Why? Because he's guaranteed to be successful? Put some effort into watching the prospect before speaking out of your ass bitch

I have watched him plenty, and have now watched a lot of "tape" on him. I think he is going to be the real deal.

I see wobbly passes im not sure if he translates well to pro passing windows.
Not sure lynch translates either as he is used to throwing to his first read.
Goff looks polished af

Wobbly passes are just a footwork thing for him. If you don't set your feet you're going to huff a wobbler. It's plenty clear that Wentz has plenty of zip on his balls.

Yep, it's not a tools or arm strength thing for me, he passes the eyeball test. I just do not think he's a an elite prospect. I like Wentz, as a late 1st rounder or early 2nd rounder. My fear, which appears to be coming true, is that Jason will latch onto him at the Senior Bowl practices and that this lazy Front Office will shut it down and just go with him at #4. Waste of a valuable resource to me, maybe "waste" is not accurate..I'll say not maximizing a valuable resource.
