Nice headline.

It must mean something. It’s more than any of us have ever received.

I won’t pretend to know who will or won’t be a great QB in the NFL (like Mike pretends to know), but I do know one thing; If you receive a draft invitation it means “something”.

Its obvious to me that Osweiler was invited so he could be the Brady Quinn Drama Man.

“Mark McGwire 2.0″

You’re thinking of Mark’s brother Dan.

Why in the world would a guy in his early 20′s ever decline to come to NYC?!?

Forget where he eventually gets selected…he’s a 6′ 7″ future NFL QB. A sizable amount of young and beautiful women here in the city are gonna be very willing to show him a fun time over the draft weekend!

Go Brock go!!!!

This is no knock on Osweiler (it is one on Dennis Erickson, however), but if the kid is drafted in the first round, I bet he becomes the answer to the trivia question:

Which QB drafted in the first round had the worst college record?

Maybe Osweiler and Brandt have the same agent/agency representing them.

He should go. Who cares if you’re drafted in round 1 or round 6? The reality is that Osweiler will be on some teams final 53 in 2012, how he gets to that final 53 is irrelevant.

So my advice to Osweiler is, accept the invitation, enjoy the ride, and modt importantly, remember to save enough cash that you can live comfortably after football.

The biggest knock against Osweiler is that he lacks quarterback instincts and good judgment, which you can’t really teach. I say at 6’7” try to bulk him up and turn him into an athletic tight end because this guy will probably never be a starting QB in the league.

Osweiler wasn’t invited because he was a feel good story as a cancer survivor. The Herzlich example is nonsensical. All the other players invited were taken within the top 50 picks or so.

“It doesn’t mean he’ll be drafted in round one or in round seven or in any round in between” ………………”or in any round at all.”

The Lions are looking to draft a developmental QB in the later rounds. Sounds like he would be a good pick.

It doesn’t mean he’ll be drafted in round one or in round seven or in any round in between, or in any round at all.

This guy seems like the next Joe Flacco… poor man’s version.

I don’t know about him like other people, but good luck to the kid.

Go ahead and attend……Limelight will help your chances of getting selected and teams will be in a QB frenzy anyway……..Doesn’t mean you may slip a bit, but my quess is you don’t slip far. Good move to attend even if you sit a day or so.
