| Brandon Weeden Scouting Report |
| Brandon Weeden - Oklahoma State (HT: 6-3½ - WT: 221) |
Positives -- Has a good arm, is not elite, but strong enough to make all the throws he'll need... Put up huge numbers at Oklahoma State, throwing for over 4,000 yards in each of the past two seasons in the Big 12... Completed over 72 percent of his passes as a senior... Great size, looks like an NFL
quarterback... Good intangibles, is a leader on and off the field, teammates react well to him... Although not a threat to run, is good at moving in the pocket and avoiding pressure... Throws a nice deep ball, gets good trajectory on his throws and is accurate down the field... Does a good job with pre-snap reads, will make adjustments at the line and put his team into the correct play... Keeps his eyes downfield and will step into pressure to deliver throws... Despite his age he was the best quarterback at the Senior Bowl and if one team really likes him and thinks he can contribute immediately then he could go higher than anybody expects... He'd be a top ten lock if he were five years younger.
Negatives -- Misses some easy throws, often sails the ball over receiver's heads but is the beneficiary of having a very good set of receivers who will bail him out at times... Has a little bit of an elongated throwing motion, needs some coaching... Trusts his arm too much, will make throws that he shouldn't, tries to fit the ball into tight windows and is prone to some bad interceptions... Footwork breaks down at times, throws off balance too often... Turnover prone... 28-years-old, spent five years playing Minor League Baseball as a pitcher, will turn 29 as a rookie... There are currently 15 NFL starters who are younger than Weeden... Not much of an athlete, is not a threat to take off and run with the football... Oklahoma State quarterbacks have not panned out in the NFL in recent years... Stats may be inflated a bit due to the spread system that Oklahoma State plays... Is not asked to go through a natural progression, may be a bit of the product of the system... Locks onto receivers, most of his routes are timing routes and he'll stare down his target rather than baiting corners with his eyes.
