Mike Mayock weighs in on Terrelle Pryor

NFL Network's Mike Mayock, draft analyst of all draft analysts, weighed in on supplemental draft candidate Terrelle Pryor tonight.

He put the over-under draft position for the former Ohio State quarterback as the fourth round.

What Mayock do was simply classify Pryor as a wide receiver prospect. Instead, he said on Total Access that Pryor would be best in special packages (something I mentioned in a Q&A Tuesday).
“The value for him as a rookie is in packages,” Mayock said. “I think the New York Jets are the best wildcat team in the NFL offensively. Why? Because

Brad Smith

can throw the football just well enough to keep you honest. That’s what I think this kid can do. He can be a package quarterback in Year One while you develop his skill set.”

That skill set, of course, could be immense. I've been saying the whole time about Pryor that he compares really favorably to Colin Kaepernick.
