It is reported the Seahawks have traded Matt Flynn to the Raiders. It is reported the Raiders have traded Carson Palmer to the Cardinals. And it is reported the Bills have signed Kevin Kolb. How will these transactions affect the quarterbacks in the draft? Predict which team will draft each of the top quarterbacks – Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Mike Glennon, Ryan Nassib, Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray, E.J. Manuel and…
NFL Network analyst Charles Davis has been breaking down the draft’s quarterback prospects on KNBR and various internet radio shows recently. Here are his breakdowns of E.J. Manuel, Tyler Bray, Tyler Wilson, Geno Smith and Matt Barkley. Q: What do you think of E.J. Manuel and Tyler Bray? DAVIS: For Manuel, I think the accuracy is problematic.
