So I was going to do a post giving dawgtalkers a view of what the latest mocks are tabbing us for and I noticed a peculiar trend.
Jevan Snead in the third round.
I can;t say I know alot about him so I figured I'd put this to you bunch.... Your thoughts on Snead in the third?
PS- Majority of mocks have us going Haden in the first.

Impressive stats for one year only though.
I wouldn't mind if we took a chance on a later round QB with one of our eleven picks. I just hope it's not Jeven Snead. He had 20 INT's this past season and a 54.4% completion rate.
If we were to take a QB in the mid-rounds I would want Dan LeFevour or Sean Canfield.

i don't watch much college and no knowing about snead but i will say this, our qb gurus on this board say that a qb needs to have a great td to int ratio and a career completion over 60% to be successful in the nfl. those are the only indicators as to how good a qb could be in the nfl. with his numbers, we don't even need to watch him to know he'll be a bust.

 for mocks giving us Haden. He's 3rd on my wishlist after Suh and Berry (who will likely both be gone)

My vote is for McClain w/ Berry and Suh gone.
As far as Snead.. I wouldn't touch him even on NCAA 2010 on PS3.. He is a subpar QB who had one good year in college. No Thanks.

Snead is horrifically inaccurate and has a strong arm.
He's Derek Anderson pt II.
you had a good run Hank.

At this point, I'd be equally happy to land Haden or McClain. If we somehow landed Suh or Berry, I'd be doing backflips.
Ugggh, I keep thinking there's a chance we MIGHT take a QB somewhere beyond the first round. I'd be shocked if it turned out to be Snead.

noooooooooo thaaaaaaaaanks.
He came into the year as a potential top prospect and had serious accuracy issues, as several here have noted. I tried watching him a couple times, but couldn't. I'd hate for that to be the case ina Browns uni.

Had the misfortune of watching Snead several times this year.
He looks like a QB until he drops back, then he doesn't.
Poor decisions, poor accuracy, slow football mind.
Good measurables.
He's an idiot for coming out, and he'll be lucky to go in the 4th round. He could go as late as the 6th or 7th.

Just to clarify, by "couldn't" I mean along the lines of "couldn't stomach it and changed the channel," not "outside circumstances prevented me."

Snead is an idiot for coming out. Great size and tools but the guy is a mechanical mess. No one is going to take a risk in the higher rounds on a guy like him. He should've gone back to school and worked his issues out. Instead, he's trying to capitalize on this crappy QB class, but it's going to backfire unless he lights it up in workouts.
We're... we're good?

Agreed. I live in MS, and have watched this kid play alot over the last 2 years............think Derrick Anderson. He has NFL arm strength and mesurables, and that is about it.
Whoever drafting him is wasting a pick..........even in the later rounds.

At this point LeFevour is going to have a hard time getting drafted without a strong combine. Scouts question his arm strength, mechanics, and the footwork. No need to waste a mid round pick on someone who you could have in the 7th or for free via RFA.

I am in Mississippi and i have wattched more of Sneed than prolly everyone on this board. With that said.......Sorry but the one reason Sneed has the attention he got last year and why he EVER was given props is because of his mechanics. His mechanics is near perfect. Its what he does with the ball is why he struggles. His Decision making is HORRIBLE. His footwork , accuracy and arm strength are phenomenal. Everything looks like a all pro........ till he makes the throw.  Its always late or thrown to the wrong read. His mental aspect of the game is in shambles at this time. Whats so weird is...last year he looked like a top 3 qb...and was rated as such going into this year.  It all went south in a hurry!!!! For what reason is hard to pin point. From what he is being told is several teams like his positives and feel like they can correct where he struggles. From what i have been told......He was given a grade by the NFL and felt like his best chance would be this year. Right or wrong.....dunno. Forgot about you BigWillie!!! 
You dont have to win every game just the next one!

I don't know what Snead you've watched this year, but his mechanics are nowhere close to perfect right now. Maybe in the past Snead was that kind of quarterback (he was at one point talked about as a potential #1 pick) but in the few games I watched to get a better idea of him as a prospect (Memphis and South Carolina stick out), his mechanics looked terrible and he was horribly inaccurate. I actually stopped watching his games because I decided I wanted nothing to do with him as a potential QB for us.
I agree with you that it's probably a mental thing, and that he has the tools to succeed, but that's just it... if you have a QB who has all the ability in the world but doesn't have the mind to put it together on a consistent basis, you don't have a QB at all. That's what is going to scare teams to death about Snead... that he has all this ability but that he lets his mind ruin it.
The 3rd round is Snead's peak unless he can show people that he's past this season. He's in danger of falling further than that though if what people saw this season is what Snead is and with people advising him to declare after a season as terrible as this one, which Snead does that tell you is the real version?
We're... we're good?

I didn't say i wanted him. Matter of fact i dont care for him even in the 7th. But the 2 games you watched might have been a few of the games he struggled mightily in but i am sorry....even in the games he suffered in...his mechanics were solid. If you are refering to his inaccuracy.....its more because he is getting the ball out late and or throwing with little confidence. If he ever gets is confidence (might have has alot to do with the receivers not sure) and starts getting the ball out on time you will see he actually is accurate. I have seen close to 20 games....yes all were not perfect. NO BODY at the college level ever is. Not many in the pros are. I still dont like him....just trying to get out the truth.

Sorry bud, but I live here too, and Snead's accuracy is crap.........especially if you make him move his feet (aka D.A). I agree his mechanics are actually pretty good, but his footwork is CRAP, and his accuracy is crap because of it.
I want nothing to do with Snead on draft day.

He didn't lose it from last year. He was deadly accurate last year. What happened? I dont know...that the mystery. Footwork? Looks good till he bails the pocket...again for what ever reason that has him regressing this year which makes the ball come out late and to the wrong guy. It makes him look like he is inaccurate but its more deep than that Willie. Good to hear from ya.

ESPN's Mel Kiper believes Ole Miss QB Jevan Snead's "best case scenario" would be getting drafted in the fourth round.
ESPN's Todd McShay agreed, citing Snead's questionable decision to declare for the draft early "without any momentum." Snead, who couldn't beat out Colt McCoy at Texas before transferring to play with the Rebels, was wildly inconsistent as a junior. He's no more than a long-term project at this level.

I have two problems with that, Dong.
1) Kiper plagiarized me, based on the fact I made my comments about Snead being lucky if he'd go in the 4th, and
2) Since Kiper and I are in agreement, it means I'm clearly wrong
