Green Bay would be a excellent place for him to learn, hell if gets lucky like Ryan mallet from Arkansas he can sit behind a legend for 4 years in Tom brady.
Yeah, on 2nd thought, a 2nd or 3rd may be a little high, but GMs have done it in the past, so I don't think it's as ridiculous as you make it out to be. I was going to detail some QBs who were drafted for different positions myself, but this site has already done it for me: http://www.realclearsports.com/lists/college_qbs_position_switch/
Matt Jones, who broke some school passing records at Arkansas, and Michael Robinson (who did play some RB his fresh and soph years) from Penn St, were 1st and 4th rd picks respectively, with their teams intending them to play positions other than QB. Jones worked as a WR at the senior bowl, while Robinson worked at QB.
this should work nicely...

That's a great question/point to consider. Thinking about a QB undergoing coaching changes over and over reminds me a lot of Jason Campbell when he was with the Redskins.
Does any know how many times the offense was changed around him in his 5 years at tech, it seemed like it changed every year and if so how could anybody master the quarterbacking position if you have so many changes around you.
I heard yall like Paint.
Ehh I agree but be careful not to get too mesmerized by the big arm thing. IIRC JaMarcus Russell could throw 60 yards from his knees but that didn't help him in the pros.
If Lebron really wants to be like Jordan he should leave basketball for a few years, but instead of baseball he can try football
Oh God! I can't breathe! Gaaaaaaah!
No team is gonna draft a player at tight end when they can throw the ball half a mile flat footed either. People aren't gonna give up on the tight end thing are they?

he should come to Denver! He'd be a middle of the pack QB in terms of height (Peyton is 6'5" and Osweiller is 6'7") and would be competing with Osweiller who is very similar to Thomas in terms of skill set and criticisms. And he'd have the ultimate hardworking QB in Peyton teaching him the nuances of the game!
We will all be Witness.
Also as we are seeing now, a good basketball player can be a great football player.
I've secretly hoped LeBron would actually pull a crazy move and sign with an NFL team, just to see how good he would be. Now it's not a secret.
In any case, I'm down. Let the kid play but he will get it. We play for football championships 'round here.
I'm just biased because I don't follow basketball.
That would make them Master Blaster...
which makes Sean Payton Aunty Entity? I don't know if he can pull this look off...
.
But if he could, it would be Fabulous!
Understandably so. Wasn't trying to be a dick with my reply btw.
100% agree with you there.
I saw somewhere that said he was leaving the team for good, did anybody else hear this?
No NFL GM in their right mind would ever use a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick in order to get a player that they want to play a position THEY HAVE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE.
If he plays TE, it's because no one drafted him as a QB. And I highly, highly doubt that will ever happen.
I was just about to make a "am i the only one" post saying the same thing.
I think the Sun Bowl did wonders for his stock as a TE. He had a few good run plays where he showed a burst and the ability to make quick cuts. The Myles Jack truck run showed how hard it is to bring him down (translating to YAC) when he's a ball carrier. After he left the field with that defenseless knockout hit, he appeared to have shaken it off pretty quick whenever they showed him on the sideline.
I think teams will ask him to workout at TE for the combine/pro day just to get a look at him. I think if he can show decent footwork in blocking drills and shows decent hands, I could see him being a 2nd or 3rd round TE.
Yeah that was my thought as well, but you never know how things will pan out. Someone in an above comment mentioned him being at a team like the Saints behind Brees. I immediately had the image of a SI cover with tiny Drew Brees sitting on massive Logan Thomas's shoulders.
I also think people misunderstand what his size means to an NFL team. Him being 6'6" and built like a linebacker doesn't mean a team will look at him and think TE. They'll look at him and say, that's a huge QB, we want him!
Plenty of NFL owners would dream of having a 6'6" kid playing QB, not TE.
I was chatting with Dan Kadar, of SBnation's Mocking the Draft, on Twitter about Logan recently. He said (before the bowl game) that I definitely thinks a team will "take a chance on him in the top 100". That was before he got an invite to the Senior Bowl. IF Logan can play in Mobile (a big if, as you can tell) I think he becomes a top 2 round pick. That's the sort of place where a guy like him can shine, EJ Manuel's stock skyrocketed after his performance and workouts there.
Also, I know that the Bears had scouts at at least two games in Lane this year. Obviously they could have been scouting others, but I was convinced that they were looking at Logan. After the Cutler deal, though, he'll be gone before they'd take a QB.
I don't know Gates's background but I don't think a team would draft Logan as a TE if he's never ever EVER (just for a clarity) played the position. That just seems far too risky. I could see teams letting him try out as a free agent (if passed up on in the draft) as a TE, but to draft him as anything other than a QB seems too insane for an NFL organization to do.
Very good point. There are always exceptions. Robinson actually went to my rival high school and is currently an NFL FB with the Seahawks (like you said), but he never had that FB build back in the day. I think he was definitely a late bloomer into that position.
