Weeden is THE quarterback at Senior Bowl practices

Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden is proving he is the best quarterback at the Senior Bowl as the north and south teams prepare for Saturday's game in Mobile, Ala.
One of three South QB's, Weeden is drawing praise from commentators and coaches alike. They like his arm strength, command in the huddle,  drop-back passing, ability to roll out and accuracy.
If he can keep this up, which I think he will, he is definitely going to improve his draft position.
The commentators are even starting to say his age 28 — 29 when he is a NFL rookie — should be a positive because of his maturity.
Weeden said he is a young 28 in football terms because he rarely got sacked or hit in his two seasons as OSU's full-time quarterback.
Oklahoma State safety Markelle Martin also is getting noticed for his pass-coverage ability. Right now, he is slated as the fourth safety to be taken in the NFL Draft. His draft stock will improve if he continues to have good practices.
Weeden and Martin will need a solid game on Saturday to solidify their draft positions.
Weeden could go in the second round if he has a good game. Martin probably is a third-round pick.
