2012 NFL Draft Results: WR Brian Quick Selected By Rams With 33rd Pick
Though he comes from a small school, Quick has an NFL body, at 6-3 ½, 222 pounds. Here’s what Mocking the Draft had to say about him:
Strengths: Has the size to play outside in the NFL. Will be good at beating the jam, though he didn’t see a lot of press coverage in college. Flashes decent hands but will drop some catchable passes. Maintains good balance running his routes. Just scratching the surface of his ability.
Weaknesses: There main area of concern for Quick is that he may struggle to separate from coverage in the NFL. Needs room to get up to speed. Isn’t especially quick in his movements. Will have to be taught a full NFL route tree. Still raw and only played one year of high school football.
In the first round, St. Louis selected LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers.
