He's also not an engineering major. . .but even if he was that wouldn't necessarily prepare him for a test like the Wonderlic.

I am not sure how in the hell some of you are coming to these conclusions. He seems pretty intelligent to me. Maybe Brockers is just sharp in his own right.

Luck has been at Stanford for four years.

This is an incredible achievement for Brockers.

Not even sure why they test D linemen. You could score a 5 on the wonderlic and it wouldn't matter.

The Wonderlic measures a player’s learning and problem solving ability, helping teams to determine if a possible draft pick has the skills to learn the playbook and make decisions – both of which are critical on the field. Higher scores mean higher thinking ability, and that has an impact on team leadership, playing style and overall results.


The average scores reported for positions are:

Offensive Tackles: 26
Centers: 25
Quarterbacks: 24
Guards: 23
Tight Ends: 22
Safeties: 19
Middle Linebackers: 19
Cornerbacks: 18
Wide Receivers: 17
Fullbacks: 17
Halfbacks: 16

It will probably be higher than the rant expects leading to another meltdown.

Stanford doesn't offer architecture. He's in some hybrid program that's like architecture, but if he ever wants to practice he'll have to take some other classes elsewhere.

FWIW there are no results on google right now for Luck's wonderlic score. This thread is the only thing that comes up.

I have staunchly tauted Brockers as a top 10 pick this year as soon as it was announced he was even thinking about leaving. But he can't have done himself any favors with his bench/ 40 combo. Especially compared to that DT from Memphis who dominated both. A great Wondelic would be impressive, but I don't thnk it makes up for his other scores.

He's still a beast and will be a top 10-15 pick no doubt, but I'm not sure the combine helped him all that much.

That's not very impressive considering that Luck is a Cro-Magnon.

It probably didn't help but Poe's career production is pretty bad and that's against crappy CUSA competition. Once people start looking at the tape again Brockers will be fine.

I agree Brockers is the better prospect and should be drafted higher, but Poe actually has fairly comparable production to Brockers, especially considering consistency over a career, role in their particular defense, and the types of offenses they were facing.
