Cook and Conklin in the first round?

I've seen Conklin high as 10. That's about as low as I've seen him. Cook is a wildcard for me. Should be first.

I wonder if either will attend the draft.

What round do you think Rudy will get drafted?

Yeah. I wonder how Cook's shoulder is.

You seem angry Cook is mentioned as a first rounder.

I bumped into football’s #1 QB guru, George Whitfield, Wednesday night. He’d coached the likes of Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Jameis Winston in recent years, and I knew he was working with Michigan State’s Connor Cook. The first question I asked him was about the negative leadership/personality aura that has clung to Cook like an albatross for the last six weeks.

“It’s bullshit. You’re the first person to ask about it, and I’ve got to say, there hasn’t been a more quintessential franchise guy since Andrew Luck that I’ve come here with,” Whitfield said, trying to keep his intensity under wraps. “Everyone else’s campaign had something dogging them. Jameis had his off-field stuff. Cam, they dogged his intelligence, his acumen, Mike Mayock questioned … basically, Cam was still getting the remnants of JaMarcus Russell, ‘will he still be in love with the game when the money comes.’ Connor has nothing off the field. Zero incidents. You hate to even state that first, but it’s true. No question marks. He has a coal miner’s mentality from the Midwest. He won 34 games, and came back to school and took Michigan State to the Final 4 where he lost to Alabama, but who was great against Alabama?”

With all the talk over the last couple of months about Connor Cook and supposed leadership issues, one thing seems clear coming out of last week’s NFL Scouting Combine: The winningest quarterback in Michigan State history is in prime position to succeed in the NFL.

Where Cook ends up in the draft remains up for debate — any later than the second round would be a surprise — but according to NFL analysts, Cook has the makeup teams are looking for in a quarterback.

Even with a shoulder injury, if it is a sure thing to heal, a team that doesn't need a QB for 2 or 3 years would be smart to draft him and have him sit out and learn the NFL. I dunno, I'm honestly more interested in O'Conner and Terry and their development.
