Nick Marshall

He is playing 2 way ball right now. He will throw with the QBS and also do CB drills. He had a pretty good showing as a cornerback and I wonder if he offers the same type of talent as a Petty or Hundley. I would love for the Rams to draft him as a CB and let him be the defects 3rd string qb, or vice versa. I think he offers a lot of upside as a QB

I think I might draft him to play QB if he's there in the 5th.

I have my issues with him as a passer, but I'd rather draft his pure athleticism and hope to find a diamond in him, then get one of the terribly unathletic QBs who are not only statues but have terrible arms.

I am no expert by any means but he looked like he mechanics were off, so he's probably been getting by on pure athleticism. Looks to be a great athlete but not sure a great football player. JMO.

 

[bojack34]

Well compared to me he's great but you get my point.

4.6 won't cut it at CB. He looked bad in the throwing drills today, also, except his deep ball.

Marshall ran a 4.54 40 yard dash
Joe Haden ran a 4.57
Richard Sherman ran a 4.56

I'm not worried about Marshall's speed as a CB at all

Rams need someone better with upside unless they acquire Foles, however, if it's Bradford they need a 3rd string like Hunley or Bryce Petty IMHO.

I don't want the Rams wasting a day two pick on a future backup.

I don't want the Rams wasting a day two pick on a future backup.

But they will, they might keep Hill or sign someone like Matt Moore, but I assure you they will draft a QB earlier than the 5th so a 2nd or 3rd because they have no 4th, if the go with Bradford.

I'm glad you are not worried, but I hope the Rams are

He's currently my choice in Round 5. He can play special teams while he gets reacclimated to DB (since we're not desperate for a DB in 2015). I think he can play CB or FS, depending on scheme, and he gives you one heck of a trick play QB option. Kid is just a good athlete. Wonder if he can hold on kicks?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I am not interested in Marshall. Athletes that are not true position players are too easily neutralized in the NFL.

 

[Stel]

Elmgrovegnome, generally I agree with your position, but Marshall isn't just an athlete. He was a good DB before they moved him the QB. I think he has the ability to become a very good FS.

Well, maybe a late round pick as a CB/S to develop then. But not as a QB.
