We talked about what anonymous scouts said about Chris Jones (http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/6/13/11744026/what-those-anonymous-scouts-said-about-chiefs-chris-jones-before-the) and Demarcus Robinson before the NFL Draft (http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/6/21/11744140/what-anonymous-scouts-said-about-chiefs-demarcus-robinson-before-the). Now let's go back to Bob McGinn's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel pre-draft series (http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/376408321.html) and look at what anonymous scouts said about Chiefs fifth round pick QB Kevin Hogan.
Posted a 36-10 record, winning three Pacific-12 Conference titles and starting in three Rose Bowls. "He's more ready than Brissett is," one scout said.
Brissett was a third round pick by the Patriots. Interesting comparison there.
"He is accurate. He does pretty much everything well. He has a funny release. Doesn't Philip Rivers have a funny release?" His passer rating was 104.2 and his record was 16-6 against AP top 25 opponents. "That (delivery) doesn't bother me," said a second scout. "Sonny Jurgensen had a really weird release. Throws it like Philip Rivers. He's cerebral, smooth." From McLean, Va.
Philip Rivers was the comparison that Andy Reid used (http://espn.go.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs/post/_/id/17023/andy-reid-chiefs-wont-tinker-with-kevin-hogans-throwing-motion). Not comparing the two players but comparing their releases, which is not normal. Andy Reid indicated they wouldn't try to change it, which I agree with. He made it all the way to the NFL with this release, why change it now?
"He's your old-time pro QB," said a third scout. "Takes most of his snaps under center. He's good but not anything special." Wonderlic of 38.
I think of him with a high floor. Some - like Nick Jacobs - have said he was one of the best quarterbacks for the Chiefs this offseason, which is high praise. As a fifth round pick, I'm guessing he makes the team. Will it be on the 53-man roster or the practice squad? There is precedent to carry the third quarterback on the 53-man (Tyler Bray in 2013).
