    Jake must of gotten some kinda of assurance he was going in the top 2 rounds or else he stays and tries to move up higher. Lot of money difference between low 1st round(don't believe it) or high to middle 2nd round(better possibility) than the 3rd round. He has to be in a position where someone convinced him that returning to UGA and putting up better numbers wan't going to improve his stock.

    Hard to believe that would be in the 3rd round or later.

    Love all Jake did for UGA, but his "football intelligence" goes out the window in bad weather. Playing half the season in Boston in cold, wet conditions would be a recipe for disaster.

    Amen. Good luck to you Jake but don't let he door hit ya. Best of luck to all the dawgs headed to or in the pros but it's time to focus on who wants to be here. Its time for Jamie and the jets!

    We all know Pittman is a great recruiter. But to have all them 5 star lineman and we cant blow teams up with the running game even though they know it is a run something wrong. Our guys was losing the line of scrimmage. That is a lack of coaching there.

    I think JF's biggest asset is his ability to read the defense. But he lacks in arm strength, accuracy and mobility. So, he is an adequate or even good college QB but it will be difficult for him to survive in the NFL. I would predict he will not be drafted in the first 3 rounds. I actually will not be surprised if he is not drafted at all.

    Agree with ShoottheHooch: McShay is no oracle. Nice enough guy, but mostly just parrots what he's told by NFL scouts (who are looking to spread disinformation wrt their team's real grades).

    I doubt Jake goes in the first. But the bright side of going later: better team/situation (have fun in Cincy, Joe) and maybe a better contract situation as first-rounders are locked in to their rookie contracts for an extra year.

    Andrew Thomas didn't look raw to me. Would go to war with that guy anytime.

    McShay must be drinking.

    Guys like McShay watch tape all day and talk to scouts but, I can't see where Fromm has tools any better than what David Greene had and he couldn't make a team in the NFL.

    Maybe the offense at Georgia just wasn't suited to his physical talent and someone in the NFL can see the way to make him successful as a pro. I hope so. I like him. But I've always felt he's physically limited. He throws darts on short yardage passes but when he has to go deeper than twenty yards his accuracy gets a little iffy. Plus, he seems scared to death of throwing to the middle of the field.

    It's over now...Jake is gone and will make his way into the NFL at some juncture. Great guy and talent...wish him the best.

    Not really all that on board with this comparison. Brady is probably the best QB to ever toss a pigskin. He also elevates the receivers around him, which Fromm hasn't shown he can do. He will be as good as the players around him for right now, and he can obviously improve, but not dramatically, in my opinion.

    Let’s see how Jake tests at the combine before we anoint him with a first round grade. Not dissing on Jake but here’s what I expect they will find: (1) he’s not 6’2”, (2) his 40 time and 3 cone drill will be slow and (3) his hand size is small. I project a third round grade for him and being on a practice squad next fall. If he can do better than that, more power to him. Good luck Jake!

    Jake was rarely allowed to play to his strengths in the UGA offense. He excelled in two minute drill situations, but UGA preferred to milk the clock on three and out drives in most situations. That and wildcat plays and RPOs. Perhaps he finds a system that is a better match for his talents in the NFL. No idea if he’s good enough to make it at the next level, but wish him the best!
