"With another truckload of NFL-ready talent on hand, Southern California's Pro Day lived up to expectations Wednesday, and the workout will have an impact on how the first round shakes out April 25. Quarterback Mark Sanchez stole the show with a stunning throwing session (Sportsline)."
Every report I have read has said that they were blown away by the way Sanchez was throwing the ball. We all know that he will be the 2nd QB taken in the NFL Draft, but I wonder how high he can climb. Some mock drafts have Sanchez going #8 to Jacksonville and others have him going #10 to the 49ers. I think after today you will see Jacksonville taking a shot at him. Yet I still have my concerns...
USC has had a lot of big name QBs come out, and they really haven't done all that much (though they still have time). Matt Leinart is stuck behind Warner, but really hasn't done anything to force the issue. Palmer had a good couple of years, but hasn't been able to stay healthy, and his numbers seem to be on the decline every year. It is really funny that the guy who was backing up those two looks to have the most promising career (Matt Cassel).
My other concern is his health. He was beat up a lot at USC, and we all know he can take a hit, but how much can one guy take. If Jacksonville can't fix that terrible offensive line they might get this guy killed.
In the end he is a solid pick, and I actually like him a lot more then I like Matthew Stafford. Only time will tell, but I think Jacksonville should take a shot at him at #8.
