Tim Tebow Zone » NFL Draft http://www.tebowzone.com Tim Tebow Denver Broncos - Tim Tebow Fans Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:00:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Tim Tebow 2010 Draft Recap http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/tim-tebow-2010-draft-recap/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/tim-tebow-2010-draft-recap/#comments Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:31:49 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=720 First, I want to welcome all the Denver Broncos fans to my Tim Tebow fan site – you all crashed my server last night! Hahah – that’s a good thing though. It’s great to know that a city like Denver with their legions of fans are behind Tim Tebow. When I woke up this morning, I immediately went to all the major news sites online to see what they were saying about Tim. After searching, it’s pretty obvious that he is the talk of NFL right now and the face of this Draft Class, not Sam Bradford who went #1 overall. Right now, Tebow on the front page of ESPN.com, NFL.com, FoxSports.com, CBSSports.com, CNNSI.com and countless others.

Tim’s agent said that he would become the most marketable player in the history of the NFL, all the coverage from last night and this morning is just the first drop in the bucket. I’m sure he’ll be on the cover of every single magazine this week as well. Did you also notice that Tim Tebow was the only player ESPN interviewed for like 3-4 minutes? They had tons of players filmed at their houses, but only Tim got the exclusive. Check it out:

Thanks to the Jay Cutler trade last year, the Denver Broncos had two first round selections in this year’s draft. They were able to trade down several times with their 11th pick to acquire more picks and move into the 25 slot – a perfect place to grab Tim Tebow.

There’s is definitely some risk involved with this pick – but that can be said about all NFL rookies. Josh McDaniels has a great offensive mind and is a student of Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He’ll know exactly how to coach Tim and build him into a franchise quarterback. The Broncos currently have 4 quarterbacks on their roster including Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. Tebow should be given every chance in training camp to compete for the starting job against those two guys.

Once again, Congratulations Tim Tebow! I’m glad that this is all done and over with – time to move on to the next chapter in your life.

Time for me to start reskinning this site with Bronco team colors and updating the site navigation!

It’s Tebow Time – The NFL Draft http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/its-tebow-time-the-nfl-draft/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/its-tebow-time-the-nfl-draft/#comments Thu, 22 Apr 2010 12:46:57 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=716 The 2010 NFL Draft is tonight in New York City. All eyes will tune in at 7:30 pm EST to find out where there best college players will play in the NFL. I am expecting a lot of coverage for Tim Tebow, even though he will not be in attendance and many people still doubt whether or not he is first round talent. Only the first round of the draft will be aired tonight – rounds 2 and 3 will be on tomorrow. If Tim is selected tonight (and I think he will be), his life and the life of an NFL Franchise will change forever.

According to an ESPN article, Tim Tebow already knows where he is going to be selected in the draft. That should raise a few eyebrows considering no one knows what will happen in the draft – teams keep everything a secret and teams can trade draft picks, thus shuffling up the order.

Tim Tebow has the answer to the NFL draft’s best-kept secret. His agent, Jimmy Sexton, was maintaining Tuesday night that they already know where Tebow will be drafted this week.

No, really. Sexton claims he knows.

“Yep,” he said.

So, Sexton was needled, will it shock the world?

“I don’t know if it’s gonna shock the world because I always thought he was going to do well,” Sexton laughed. “But we pretty much know. We have a pretty good idea what’s going to happen.”

Every scout and NFL executive knows what Tim did in college – he’s one of the best of all time with 2 national championships, a Heisman and countless NCAA records. He did things on the field that no one had ever done in the history of the game. Tim wowed them all at the NFL Combine, worked out privately for many teams and has been one hell of a marketing machine (he signed a Nike deal and is on the cover of EA’s NCAA Football 11). One team will get the total package when they select Tim Tebow.

Who will it be? Could the recent developments with Ben Rothleisberger force the Pittsburgh Steelers to grab Tim with their first pick? Maybe – but if we’re to believe Sexton then he would have know Tim’s draft position before the NFL announced Big Ben’s suspension yesterday. Could it be his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars? Could it be the Arizona Cardinals?

If Tim is not picked tonight, then he will likely go in the top of the 2nd round tomorrow night. And you can guarantee he will be the talk of the NFL all day Friday.

2010 NFL Draft Week, Where Does Tebow Stand? http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/2010-nfl-draft-week-where-does-tebow-stand/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/2010-nfl-draft-week-where-does-tebow-stand/#comments Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:58:41 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=712 The 2010 NFL Draft Week is finally here. We are just 4 days away from the first round – broadcasted live in primetime on ESPN this Thursday night. This is a moment Tim Tebow has been waiting for for a long time. It’s finally his time for his dream of playing football in the NFL to come true. One lucky team will pick Tim and immediately gain a legion of fans. Will it be the Jaguars – a local team Tim grew up following? Will it a northern team like Buffalo? Or could it be a team as far from Florida as possible – the Seattle Seahawks?

Let’s take a look at some of the top NFL Mock Draft websites and see where they have Tim going.

Walter Football – 3rd round – They have Tim Tebow going to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the number 74 pick overall. I don’t see Tim lasting this long at all, but for the Jags it would be a dream scenario.

New NFL Draft – 2nd round – They have Tim Tebow going to the Buffalo Bills with the number 41 pick overall. If Tim slips out of the first round, Buffalo will be in prime position to grab him with their 2nd round pick. Buffalo is one of the teams that flew Tim Tebow in for a private sit down and workout at their facility.

My NFL Draft – 2nd round – They have Tim Tebow going to the Carolina Panthers with the number 48 pick overall. The Panthers did release long time QB Jake Delhomme this offseason and have all their hopes riding on Matt Moore. They’ll definitely want to bring in a backup just in case Moore doesn’t work out.

Draft Countdown – 1st round – One of the few mock drafts I’ve seen that has Tim Tebow in the first round. They have Tim going to the Minnesota Vikings with the #30 pick overall. I can definitely see Tim in Purple and gold, plus reunited with fellow Gator Percy Harvin.

So basically Tim is all over the board – mocks have him anywhere from the 1st to 3rd round. I don’t think any player in NFL history has been like this before… where no one knows where to rank him. Will you be watching the NFL Draft this Thursday? Post a comment and let me know.

Tim Tebow Declines NFL Invitation http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/tim-tebow-declines-nfl-invitation/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/04/tim-tebow-declines-nfl-invitation/#comments Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:18:06 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=708 As suspected, Tim Tebow officially declined the NFL’s invitation to be part of the NFL Draft Day in New York City next week. We reported months ago that is was highly unlikely that Tim would attend the event give that there’s nothing he can really gain from it. Tim Tebow is such a big superstar that the cameras would be on him the entire time and Tim doesn’t really need that right now. And imagine, once we got past pick 10 the cameras would be on him all the way until he got picked. If Tim doesn’t get picked till around 40 or 45 then that’s two days of the “experts” talking about it – just like Brady Quinn and Aaron Rodgers a few years ago. Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen also declined the invitation.

For the first time ever the NFL Draft will be in prime time and spread out over 3 days. The first round will be on April 22 at 7:30 pm eastern, followed by the second and third rounds on April 23 at 6:30 pm eastern and will conclude with rounds four through seven on Saturday at 10:00 am. By dragging the draft out over 3 days and inviting a lot more players to attend, the NFL is trying to turn the Draft into big star studded event. They’ll get a lot more TV revenue and hope more people will watch. It also gives teams more time to make trades and evaluate players.

I am still expecting Tim Tebow to be drafted somewhere in the middle to end of the first round – around picks 22-25. Look out for Pittsburgh – they’ve been sending messages to their players that character matters and you won’t find a better character guy than Tim Tebow.

Tim Tebow, First Round Talent http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/03/tim-tebow-first-round-talent/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/03/tim-tebow-first-round-talent/#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:50:46 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=692 Yesterday, former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy told the Dan Patrick Show “I’d be surprised if by the end of the first round somebody hasn’t taken Tim Tebow.” Dungy is one of the most respected and winningest coaches in NFL history. Just look at the Colts roster over the last 6-7 years for proof of his eye for talent.

Today, another head coach came out and said Tim Tebow will be a first round pick. “I can’t believe a quarterback of his stature won’t be (taken in the first round),” Pete Carroll said, via NFL.com. Carroll is the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, a team in need of a quarterback. The Seahawks, however, pick at the top of the draft and likely won’t be grabbing Tebow in the first round.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick did not mention what round he things Tebow will be drafted in, but he did have solid praises for the guy: “I think it’s obvious that within the last six weeks, that he’s worked on his mechanics and they’ve improved, which is a credit to him. He’s very coachable and he works very hard. I’m sure that whatever he feels he needs to do, he’ll work very hard at, whatever that is. Athletically, he tested very well at the combine, which you can see on the field.”

The Patriots have a private workout scheduled with Tim Tebow in the coming days/weeks.

With more and more coaches and NFL executives coming out (remember Mike Holmgren did as well after Tim’s Pro Day) and saying how much they live Tebow and think he’ll be a high draft pick, we have to start believing they are on to something. You can’t believe “experts” like McShay and Kiper… those guys never played the game and are nothing bu talking heads. Another thing to note is that the NFL invited Tim to New York City for the Draft – and they don’t do that unless they think a player will be a 1st round pick. Don’t be susprised if we have a few more coaches give their thoughts on Tebow in the coming weeks.

Tim Tebow Invited to New York For NFL Draft http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/03/tim-tebow-invited-to-new-york-for-nfl-draft/ http://www.tebowzone.com/2010/03/tim-tebow-invited-to-new-york-for-nfl-draft/#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:00:18 +0000 David http://www.tebowzone.com/?p=686 I have been reading reports all day that are saying Tim Tebow has been invited to New York for the NFL Draft – I haven’t seen anything from the Tebow camp confirming this, tough. You probably know that the NFL always invites a handful of guys to New York so they can walk across the stage and be there when a team calls their name.

Usually these are guys expected to go in the top 10 picks. However that is not always the case… Remember in 2007 when Brady Quinn was there and he kept falling and falling in the draft. The cameras were all over him in that little room just waiting for him to cry because no one was picking him. It was horrible. And there have been a ton of players that “experts” predict to go high but end up falling – Aaron Rodgers is another that comes to mind.

ESPN says that the NFL is upping the number of players invited to the NFL Draft from 9 to 18. They also hint that the NFL wants to bring Tim in for ratings, not because they expect him to be a high draft pick.

In my opinion, Tim will be a late first / early second round pick… so no, I don’t think he should go to New York and sit in that room for hours and hours while other people’s names are called. He should be at home with his family and friends watching on TV like 99% of the other prospects do. What is your take on this situation? Should Tim go to New York if he is invited?
