2010 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Tony Pike
Strengths: Good height; can comfortably see over line Very quick decision-maker Great football intelligence Nice touch on the football; clean spiral Has an adequate sixth sense for pass rush Takes what the defense gives him; doesn't force throws Solid accuracy down the field Absolutely outstanding timing; throws ball before receiver even gets into break Good character
Weaknesses: Lacks some bulk in his body frame Extremely weak arm strength Lacks agility and athleticism; can't evade a pass rush Somewhat of a statue in the pocket Floats deep ball a little too much Not a very good passer on the run Throws difficult routes - but with unimpressive velocity/talent Highly limited skill set Competitiveness hasn't been tested yet Older than the average prospect (will be a 24-year-old rookie)
Summary: Pike projects strictly as a career backup in the NFL. He simply doesn't possess even an average arm to be a starter. Pike can be somewhat reliable since he makes great decisions and is highly intelligent, but he lacks a lot of talent, and you can't coach talent. I project Pike to come off the board between the third and fifth rounds.
Player Comparison: Todd Collins. Collins has a weak arm, but is an extremely smart quarterback and a reliable backup.
