3.04 Dallas Junglehawgs - QB Mike Glennon

In the real world: From North Carolina State--the same school that brought you Philip Rivers--the 6'6" Glennon has a great arm but has accuracy issues. (In particular, if you look at his senior season, but take out games against small schools South Alabama and The Citadel, his completion percentage falls to 56.7%, with 27 TD and 17 INT.) The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted him in Round 3, but it is not clear why they would draft a quarterback with accuracy issues when the QB on the hot seat for them, Josh Freeman, has accuracy and turnover problems himself.
In the TUFF world: It's a good pick anyway because Dallas needed depth at QB. They already took EJ Manuel early in Round 2, but Manuel is raw, and you could see Glennon as a case of Mike Scott hedging his bets on Manuel.
