Brock Osweiler (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) - QB - Player (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.)
Eight of nine teams surveyed by NFL Network's Charley Casserly call Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler a fourth-round prospect.
NFL.com's Gil Brandt made waves when he said he expected Osweiler to be a first-round pick following his Friday Pro Day, but it appears the sentiment is not shared by a large majority of the league. Casserly said teams were concerned about Osweiler's decision making and accuracy, as well as his tendency to take too many sacks and "questionable instincts." A "couple of scouts" told the Arizona Republic's Kent Somers Friday they could see Osweiler going as early as round two, but it's extremely unlikely he turns himself into a day-one pick.

After Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.

You currently have 0 posts.), who said Osweiler now looks like a first-round draft pick.
Another longtime personnel man, Charley Casserly, strongly disagrees — and says that almost every team he has talked to views Osweiler as a fourth-round prospect.
Asked on NFL Network about Brandt’s first-round assessment, Casserly seemed taken aback by it.
“I’m not sure what that means, to be honest with you,” Casserly said of Brandt’s first-round projection. “I haven’t studied this guy yet but I interviewed nine teams about him. Eight of them had him rated in the fourth round. The workout doesn’t change the rating on the tape. The other team had him rated in the second. Issues about the guy concerning decision making, accuracy, takes too many sacks, questionable instincts. All of those things, to me, are things you see on tape, not in the workout. I’m going to take what those teams said and stick with that.”
NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi agreed with that, noting that Osweiler was only a one-year starter at Arizona State. Lombardi took issue with Brandt’s assessment as well.
“I don’t think you could ever, possibly, consider him a first-round talent,” Lombardi said.
