100 in 100: Jarrett Brown (94 of 100)
6 DAYS UNTIL THE DRAFT...
Jarrett Brown is one of those players that had to wait in line behind another quarterback to get his shot. It happens a lot in college football; see: Tom Brady. Brown patiently waited behind former Mountaniers Quarterback Pat White for three years. He finally got his shot to be the starter this year after White was drafted by the Dolphins last year. Brown did get to play garbage time each year from 2006-2008 but not enough to get a decent gauging of how good he was going to be.
2009 was an up and down season for Brown as he hit a rough patch in the middle portion of the season. For a guy with one of the bigger arms in college football last year, he was able to remain fairly accurate. There were times where he had trouble getting the ball in the endzone while in the redzone but some of that can be attributed to West Virginia's tendency to run the ball when they got inside the 20.
Brown will more than likely be drafted to be a number two, or possibly even a number three on a depth chart of the team that drafts him. However, just because he will be drafted as such, coaches and teammates will quickly take notice of the high ceiling there is with him. There is a lot of upside to consider with his big arm, accuracy, elusiveness, and how intelligently he plays the game. He makes quick reads and reacts, Brown plays with an evident passion for the game.
Below, we will look at some video, stats, and of course the infamous projection of where I believe Brown will be drafted.
This is one of the videos that has music; if it's not your taste, then you can mute it but still watch the highlights to get a good idea of what Brown can do. If you have seen Brown play, it's still a pretty interesting feed that you may want to watch anyway.

SUMMARY AND PROJECTION:
Brown was a top-performer in the 40-Yard Dash, Vertical Jump, Broad Jump, and 60-Yard Shuttle at this years combine. He has done everything right leading up to the draft from interviews, workouts, and of course his performance at the Senior Bowl and week of practice leading up to the event. Brown is still a bit unpolished but if a good quarterbacks coach gets a hold of him.... look out! Overall, Brown could potentially make something of himself at the next level if all the chips fall in the right spot. A bit of luck in the right situation could go a long way for this young talent. Brown measured at 6'3" and weighed in at 223 LBS at the combine.
Possiblities -- 4th Round: Picks 99-131, 5th Round: Picks 132-169.

He's a lot more accurate than Russell was in college
He knows the meaning of touch also. Agree on the work ethic… so I assume you meant that in a positive way.
Yes, it was a compliment
He seems to have all the physical tools that Russell had but he actually seems to care about the game.

I'm sure Russell can be elusive too
If he actually bothered to work out.

Leon Washington… Potential 49er… Signed his RFA deal with NYJ.
by Rod Blogojevich on Apr 15, 2010 2:46 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Did he sign it because he's going to be traded?
Or because he’s ready to begin his season with the Jets?

potential 49er?
Wouldn’t he be a potential 49er as much as any other UFA or RFA out there?

Haha yeah, I just remember a bunch of discussion when free agency started… Some Niner fans said they may want him.

Lots of people have been signing tenders today

I thought Brown had a pretty good Sr Bowl
And I think these hightlights confirmed my impression of him. He’s intriguing to say the least. You look at his numbers and you instinctively move on. But Brown appears to have the physical skills and intelligence that most teams will appreciate. I would have said he could turn into something along the lines of a Michael Robinson, but he wasn’t really tried at different positions like Michael was in college. Could end up being a steal for whomever gets him though.
i want him...
he looks like an NFL QB already when in the pocket, and obviously can run when pushed out of it. the biggest flaw i saw in his game is that when he ran with the ball he wasn’t holding it close to his body, which is definitely dangerous in the pros. i’d love to take him, mostly because i like that style of QB, if we didn’t already have enough qb’s on our roster.
i’d say late third to early fifth in the draft.
numbers
I think the subtraction from draft day to the start of this might have been off. But I figure, on Wednesday afternoon when the last one posts, we can just say the draft is the next day, so 9 days away? Maybe? Not entirely accurate, but could be worse I suppose.

I intended for it to be that way.
Draft coverage will start very early on the networks that Thursday, so it makes no sense to post one on that day.
It is 6 days away. Draft day is excluded.
Depends on how you count it
Today is the 15th
Day 1—16th
Day 2—17th
Day 3—18th
Day 4—19th
Day 5—20th
Day 6—21st
Draft day.

yup
And I’m not even going to be in front of a TV or computer for it. Won’t be at the draft party, won’t be in front of a TV, won’t be near an actual computer for the NN draft open thread (presume there will be one.) GRRRR!
Twitter?

I haven’t been suckered in by twitter yet. But actually I do have internet access on my phone. There’s got to be some application too that I can readily access.
I'd strongly recommend it
At least if it’s only for the draft.
I follow Adam Schefter and Rich Eisen, and I’m assuming that they’ll be announcing the picks as they happen on twitter.
I’ll be in school from 6pm to 9pm on draft day so I’ll have to rely on twitter for the final 10-15 picks.

thread
There will definitely be a thread. In fact, multiple threads throughout the three days. It’s gonna be crazy here. Easily the busiest days of the year on this site.

Impressive
I think this guy was just added to the QB’s I would be happy with the Niners drafting. I really didn’t watch or pay attention to WV this season, so I didn’t know much about him. He certainly needs some polish, but if his work ethic is as good as you say, I’d be happy if they got him.
- He’s got a cannon for an arm. One throw off his back foot went for some serious yardage.
- He shows elusiveness when forced to scramble.
- Stepped into the pocket on a few of those throws when protection broke down.
- Eyes were regularly downfield when forced out of the pocket.
- Pretty accurate while on the move.
Two things I don’t like though that definitely need fixing, he seems to stare down his receivers and he doesn’t seem to move through his progressions very quick.
