Notes:

- Mark Sanchez has terrific mechanics, but his lack of experience is extremely alarming. He needs to be caged like Aaron Rodgers for a good few seasons.
- Mike Teel's name has been flying under the radar, but he's probably the 2nd best senior quarterback in a very weak year for upper classmen. Teel's got terrific accuracy on his deep ball, a lively arm, and already knows how to put touch on his throws. Don't be surprised if Teel sneaks his way into the 3rd round.
- Graham Harrell's slow decision-making and gimmick offense will continue to hold him back in the eyes of NFL Scouts.
- It doesn't matter how Pat White does in the Senior Bowl practices or the game, and even after good performances, it still doesn't matter. It doesn't change his stature and weight. At 6-foot-0, 190 pounds he was a constant injury liability in Morgantown, and will be even more so at the pro level if he's a quarterback.
- Hunter Cantwell has allowed an immense amount of talent to be hampered by one of the worst throwing motions and slowest releases of any senior quarterback this season. Don't expect his name to be called on draft day, because right now he's in the process of changing his motion, and that never bodes well for anyone at this point in their career.
