PrintQuick Take: One of the quarterbacks that caught my attention at the Senior Bowl was Dan LeFevour. Though he came into the game as the 3rd-string QB for the North, he had a solid game going 5 of 10 passing, for 97 yards, one passing TD, 12 rushing yards and a rushing TD. This performance, although not lights out, got me more interested in this QB out of Central Michigan.

Interview with LeFevour:
Senior Bowl profile: Dan LeFevour (via ChicagoTribune)
Scouting Report: Dan LeFevour is slowly rising on teams' draft boards after a solid performance at the Senior Bowl where he was named the North's Most Outstanding Player. Currently, Mel Kiper ranks him #5 on his QB list, and NFL Draft Scout ranks him #6. LeFevour has the body to be effective at the next level standing at 6-3 and weighing in at 229 lbs. His speed and great ability to scramble and break a big run is impressive and led to his 15 rushing TDs in 2009.
LeFevour though is also a quality passer. In the 2009 season he completed an impressive 69.7% of his passing and threw only 7 interceptions all season. LeFevour is not just a one year wonder either, he consistently put up quality numbers over his four year collegiate career, amassing a total of 12,905 yards passing and 102 passing TDs. The drawbacks to LeFevour are his inexperience with the pro-style offense and he seems to have average arm strength. In the interview that I posted above, he seems like a decent guy as well. He seems to understand where he his weaknesses are (pro-style offense) and seems willing to try and improve. His Senior Bowl performace though showed many scouts that he can handle the pro-style offense a lot better then most originally thought and if he has a good performance at his Pro-Day and Combine, LeFevour might see himself rocketing up draft boards.
Projected Round: Early to mid 3rd
Possible Jaguar?: The Jaguars are seemingly in a perfect situation to draft LeFevour. With his draft stock around the 3rd-round, and the Jaguars obviously on the hunt for a young QB to take the reins from David Garrard, LeFevour might be a perfect option at the 10th/11th spot of the 3rd round. LeFevour would most likely offer both value and
need at this spot and would allow the Jaguars to groom a young QB on the bench for a year or two while David continues to take the starting role.

Word
College passer ratings can get up into the mid 200s.

Watching the highlights has made me realize...
We need more camera angles to watch football.
Sometimes I just want to see the whole field. Wish there was a way you could change them like you do in video games.
I Wish
They would broadcast it like the gamefilm teams use is shot. You can see up to 30 yards into the defensive backfield, and still get a view of the QB. Great to watch plays develop. I agree its hard to see a players technique, especially a DBs or WRs with the current camera view.

He seems like a nice player
But I think the Jaguars need to draft a more game-ready QB because this could be a transition season if Garrard doesn’t improve.
There aren't a lot
Of game ready QBs in the third. I think lefevour is more game ready than the other third round graded qb who’s name I will not mention. Lefevour feels like twice the value pick Bradford or Clausen would be.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

I wouldn't mind LeFevour,
But more and more I’m thinking the Jaguars wait another year to draft a quarterback. This year’s group impresses me less and less every day, and there are so many other positions that need addressing that are richer in this draft (see: defensive line, interior offensive line, safety).

You know what I just thought about?
That means there are a lot of fat kids and skinny kids. I don’t know why that’s funny to me, but it is.
Ha
I like it bro. Real smooth sound, good beat, good flow. Plus, Eminem is the man.

Pretty good,
but I’m going to use this as a soapbox moment saying that we want a fair amount of consistency between all the Scouting Reports. Expect some guidelines coming soon on what you need to do.

my bad
I kinda just decided to do it on impulse, so sorry if I did it out of format. Im willing to do more reports if you want but if you guys dont want me to thats cool too

I like this guy
average arm strength is fine as long as he knows what to do on the field. I wouldnt be upset if they took this guy.
One Year
I say it will only take him one year of tutelage under a pro style system and he would be ready for the big time. Just needs to develop under center and learn a little pocket discipline and he will have a really good career.
Draft LeFevour!!!!!!!!
he's wild but aware
his footwork isn’t perfect but it fits him. Not all athletes can be changed. LeFevour is so athletic that his footwork has to be different.
Another thing, look at his vision when he runs, you can tell how aware he is. I love his deep ball
How perfect is him sitting for a year?

Brady's never had the best arm, but he can make all the throws.
I’m reserving judgment on LeFevour until the combine. I want him to show me that he can make all the throws. If he can, then I’m getting on that bandwagon.
