Pryor a good choice?

One of the new topics in sports this week came after Mondays supplemental draft, when the Oakland Raiders used there 3rd pick in next years draft to pick up former Ohio State Quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Now Pryor decided to enter the draft after he received a 5 game suspension to start the beginning of the college season for receiving improper benefits. Now Pryor is a great athlete don't get me wrong but an NFL Quarterback he is not! I just don't see him being about to develope the tools that a qb at the NFL needs to be successful. I mean in my opinion in college football if you can throw the ball a little bit, are able to get weapons around you, and RUN you  will be a good COLLEGE football player but you will not have success in the NFL. Now i know a lot of people want to point to Micheal Vick and say well that could be him one day. Yes, you are right but Micheal Vick is a veteran qb that has put a lot of hours into becoming a great qb. He has fixed his accracy and has learned to stay in the pocket instead of looking for a way to run and make a play he is now staying as long as he can to find someone open down field before running, something Pryor will have to learn but not right away. I just believe that this was a wasted pick because now the Raiders will not have a second third or forth round pick in the draft when we all know they need as many as they can get!
