To know list: 8 things to make you an instant expert this week.(KNOW IT ALL)
[1] THE MAIN EVENT
Young said yes, but he should have said no
No matter what NFL people tell Vince Young about his draft prospects--an AFC scout says Young initially might be evaluated as a top five pick but that predraft workouts could expose his flaws and drop his grade--he's nowhere near ready to play at the next level. He made huge strides as a passer this season but has no experience as a quarterback in a pro-style formation.
Texas runs a majority of its offensive sets from the shotgun; every NFL team runs a majority of its sets with the quarterback under center. Young hasn't been exposed to turning his back to the defense during a play-action fake then turning again and reading a defense. There's a huge difference between taking a shotgun snap and watching the defense develop and recognizing a defense with a presnap read, turning your back and then having everything change before you turn back around.
"He's running a (shotgun) set now that he'll probably use 20 percent of the time in this league," an NFC scout says.
But there's more to it than that. Young lacks velocity on certain throws, and he won't have 4 or 5 seconds to find a receiver in the NFL as he does in college. Needless to say, Young's decision is a major blow to the Longhorns (see page 30), who could be in huge trouble at the quarterback position.--Matt Hayes
