I have followed college football and I really think Jared Zabransky has been the most underatted quarterback in the NFL. Not also did he have the fastest time in the 40 during the combines but he beat out the receivers and quarterbacks in the shuttle event. So why is he not getting any props? He wins and cleary, by far, the most athletic. He is also accurate and his arm strenght is average. And we all saw what he did against Oklahoma.

My understanding is that there's been a lot of talking about switching him to wide receiver/tight end instead of keeping him at QB. If that's the case he could definitely be successful, just look at Antwan Randle-El (former Indiana QB).
Either way I think he goes late 6th-7th round just because of the need at QB and the other QB's in the draft. I think anywhere he goes he'll be successful in whatever capacity he works at. But that's just my opinion.

I love these questions. You have all these arm-chair QB's on here trying to predict who is going to be bad...lol
Tom Brady (don't like him) was a very late draft pick and look what he has done. So was a WR named Jerry Rice.
It all comes down to timing. If and when the Qb is mature enough and has learned his play book and has a decent line /receivers/Running backs etc...than just about ANY QB can do well. Look at Brad Johnson. Not a very good QB but timing played well when he helped the T.B. Bucs win a super bowl.
So, all you arm-chair QB's that said he will be bad, come back in 3-5 years and we'll see if you are right/wrong.

i think he will be a very late round pick and could do well in the NFL, but not right away. Zabransky is a little mobile but his arm strength is average at best. He can't make all the throws and can't get enough on the deep sideline routes. It also doesn't help him that he's a system quarterback. All of his reads were simplified in college and his offensive coordinator ran so many trick plays. He's going to be a late round pick and if he gets into a west coast type situation I think he can be a decent backup in a couple years. Think of a Mike McMahan type, or a poor man's Jeff Garcia
