Oakland Raiders Draft 2012: QB, Kellen Moore, Boise State

I’m not sure he will be available though that late. I think he’s a top 5 college QB. He played great for Boise and did whatever the coach asked of him. He was efficient and had great poise during big games. He was a big reason they won so much in Boise and he will be missed there. The only knack on him is he played inferior competition in the WAC. However he did what any good QB would do under that situation; win and put up numbers. I wouldn’t mind the pick up if the Raiders can get him though.

Kellen Moore is unbelievably smart. Even as a freshman, and sophomore QB going up against a National title contender Oregon both years, he torched there defense in both games, screaming out to a commanding lead in each. This when nobody gave BSU a chance in hell.
His reaction time to situations, was way quicker than any of those college defenses, which is why he was so successful. I have no doubt that Kellen could keep up with the NFL.
He is like a QB/Coach. He would be the best backup QB you could find. It will be like having another coach on the sidelines. and we could use him in all sorts of clutch, or trick play situations. And don’t be surprised if he designs them. I’m not kidding. He is extremely capable.
A lot of people will bring up that he played in a weaker conference, but where Kellen stood out was when he went up against the College “Big boys”. This year in the game against Georgia, which supposedly had the biggest defensive line in years, again he torched them. With brand new receivers too. He beat Oregon twice the 08’ runner up, and the 09’ Pac 10 champs, Virginia Tech who then won the ACC, and Georgia, who then won the SEC east. Only one of those games was at home, the second game against a pissed off Oregon that vowed revenge, only to be beat once again.

He’s the kind of QB that other teams hate, because he just out smarts them, and nobody can stop him. He’s smart like Elway was, and I hope you remember how he use to drive us crazy. It was like he knew what we were going to do before we did it. Same thing.
If we can get him anywhere after the 4th round, we’d be crazy not to. They actually name a College QB award after him.

What would the Raiders have to do to draft Moore? Cut Pryor. sign a back up veteran. Can’t see the Raiders giving up on Pryor after burning this years 3rd round pick on him. Nor can I see the Raiders carrying 4 QB’s. Not enough picks for that luxury.

I like this kid as much as any of you but we have a project QB right now in Pryor and the new regime will be watching him closely this season to see what we have I would imagine. I don’t think he’s ready yet to be a #2 on the team yet but it’s hard to say since we really haven’t gotten a good look at him yet.

We need this draft to be all about finding value and getting some more talent on the defensive side of the ball. If this kid is sitting around in the 7th round and we get a 7th rounder then fine but otherwise…we need a veteran backup QB. We saw what happens when you can’t rely on your backup last season.

He reminds me of Joe Montana.

He is going to be successful in the NFL, I cant believe he is predicted to go so low! I imagine once he lights it up at the combine next week his draft stock is going to soar, i picture him at least going 3rd or 4th round. He is so cool and collective in the pocket and he has really decent arm strength. Worst case scenario for him is he is a 6-8 year second stringer in the NFL and that is still worth quite a bit

But it looks like he has a Tom Brady future ahead of him. Winning attitude, classiness, true leader, great release and follow through. I would gladly trade Pryor, Schilenz, and Louis Murphy for this guy.

i think moore has what it takes to be a NFL Quarterback, but then again sometimes college QB’s we think will do good in the NFL end up just sucking, example: David Carr, Matt Lienart. Personally i feel that Moore has potential, and it TP doesnt work out, i think he can be part of the missing piece of the puzzle we are looking for, IF hes available. With new GM and new Ownership going into this Draft Year, we might be looking either at Chaos or Salvation when coming to the draft. Lets Pray to god we get it right this year like we did in the 10-11 draft year with McClain and Houston.
