Coughlin might be another Cassel, proving that collegiate experience is overrated. He threw just 28 passes while backing up Boise State star quarterback Kellen Moore the past two seasons, but suddenly an eye-opening showing at the Broncos' pro day last month has everyone in the NFL aware of Coughlin's strong right arm. Boise State coach Chris Petersen has extolled Coughlin to NFL scouts, and former BSU cornerback turned Dallas Cowboy Orlando Scandrick said recently that Coughlin was every bit the quarterback that Moore is, and would be a first-round prospect if he had been the starter.
At 6-5, 212 pounds, Coughlin has the size the NFL loves, and the quarterback-needy Seattle Seahawks were quick to reportedly schedule a pre-draft visit with him. He showed the ability to make every pass needed in the NFL while serving as the Broncos' pro day practice quarterback, and coaches such as Jacksonville offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter were said to be very impressed with his blend of skills.

Another Cassel?
The first five words of that article (that you copied without citing source or link) was all I needed to read before saying "no thanks" unless it's a *very* late round. As in...7th.
I think we should draft a QB as early as possible, then not take an additional QB unless someone (possibly this guy) is available at the end of the draft.

I agree. QB is the #1 position that needs to be addressed. Do it early, Trade down whatever. But make a 1 or 2nd rounder a QB. Then with that extra 7th if someone is available who looks like he's a good clipboard holder , Go for it.

Cassel turned out better than Brady? ummm okay. I wish that were true.
The guy sounds like he may be worth a shot, I just think we need to aim higher with our (primary) QB pick in the draft then load up on some meat & potatoes positions, an RB, THEN consider a second QB.

Obviously I meant leinart, and not saying we draft him in the first.
I still think we need picks, drop down trade some players and get 3-4 picks and take a QB somewhere 2-4 and get some weapons with speed at WR & RB. We have to get a speedy WR & 2 quality RB and OL help out of this draft, a QB & TE would be nice also.
