I think it's a Cignetti pick - somebody who can pick up the system, and who doesn't have to totally relearn everything. Don't think he'll ever be a big star, but could be a game manager later on for the Rams.

QB/SEAN MANNION
OREGON ST. PAC-12
6' 6" 230 lbs
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Four-year starter who owns 18 passing records at Oregon State. Tall quarterback who sees over the offensive line. Throws with high release point. Plays with desired footwork. Can sit down and shift weight properly to drive the intermediate throws. Played in pro-style offense and is comfortable with 3-, 5- and 7-step drops from under center. When protected, shows confidence to stand and deliver with accuracy to all areas of the field. Trusted by head coach Mike Riley to make pre-snap reads and audible. Played in multiple-read offense and shows patience in allowing routes to develop. Good feel for pro-style play-action passing attack and can throw with above-average accuracy and ball placement.
WEAKNESSES
Tempo of his play is a concern. Slow in takeaway from center and set-up and slow getting through progressions. Carries ball low in the pocket, allowing defenders to swipe at it. Finished career with 30 fumbles and 54 interceptions. Poise and mobility in pocket are below average. Not considered a play-extender outside of pocket. Drops eyes and misses throwing windows when he senses pressure around him. Decision making greatly influenced by level of pressure around him. Fails to throw with adequate zip when feet aren't under him and he doesn't step strongly into throw. Takes too long to get rid of throws on out routes.
DRAFT PROJECTION
Round 5 or 6
SOURCES TELL US
"His stats and tape weren't as good this year as last year, but he flashes NFL potential in every game you watch. I thought he did the same thing at the Senior Bowl practices." -- NFC area scout

BOTTOM LINE
Tall, rhythm thrower who shows an ability to play with confidence and accuracy when used as a game manager within an offense featuring a strong rushing attack. Mannion needs plays to stay on schedule or his confidence becomes shaky and the turnovers start rolling in. Mannion lacks arm talent to carry an offense, but has enough ability to become a capable backup.

I need to watch Jamon Brown but today has just been a terrible day. IMO, I'd give us a D for what we've done today. Squandered the trade down with a terrible pick.
I'm sorry. I hate being negative but Mannion. MANNION?!?!?!?! Just stop. Start the day over. Reset everything. I cannot accept that pick. You could have had Grayson. You come away with freaking Mannion. He's a poor man's Mike Glennon. Puppy tits. Cat poop. Bird butt. I'm doing everything I can to not go on a tirade.
I give up.

Might seem like it, but it wasn't. We could have had anybody we wanted at those spots.
