lol, no. And that was a guy who was, at one point, projected as a possible #1!
Didn't know he was graded that high - 5th at his position, right after the big 4, Carr, Bridgewater, Manziel and Bortles that are all projected top half of the first. So ya, I would expect a team that wasn't looking to draft an opening day starter take him in the second or at latest, the third. I thought he might be hanging around in the 5th or later, and could be picked up as a Matt Flynn-like prospect.
He broke all of Romo's records, but seeing Romo went undrafted that's not a big deal.

It certainly seems like Bridgewater has shit the bed, although SI still has him rated as the top QB in the draft.

so who knows.
Manziel has become interesting. His combine 40 combined with his Wonderlific score, plus the athleticism we already knew he had makes me re-evaluate him. I've seen some say that his Wonderlific isn't that great because it doesn't even put him in the top 10 of QBs who started a game in 2013, but have those morons heard of grading on a curve? His score was the HIGHEST of the year. The sample size should be big enough to show that the low scores are because the test was slightly harder than usual.
QBs with higher Wonderlifics
Blaine Gabbert - 42
Alex Smith - 40
Eli Manning - 39
Matt Flynn - 38
Colin Kaepernick - 38
Matt Stafford - 38
Andrew Luck - 37
Tony Romo - 37
Sam Bradford - 36
Christian Ponder - 35
Aaron Rodgers - 35
Ryan Tannehill - 34
Tom Brady - 33

"Needs to continue to improve his decision-making and not allow pressure to severely alter his process. Bad habit of forcing throws in small windows. Lower-than-ideal release point with an almost side-arm motion.
Needs to get his feet under control on a consistent basis and regularly step into his throws. Must continue and develop his pocket awareness and internal clock to feel pressure. Holds the ball too long at times and will take unnecessary hits.
Experience is in a FCS spread, shotgun attack; needs to become more acclimated with under-center snaps." LINK

Pretty sure that the Vikings will draft Bridgewater now with all of this stuff pushing down his draft stock. All through last year, and until the start of the evaluation season, he was solidly considered the #1 QB in the draft. I swear to God... if they draft him and he becomes great I will never forgive the Browns.
Garoppolo will get drafted in the 2nd round by somebody. Teams are just too starved for competent QB play to let him slip out of the 2nd. He's pretty similar to Matt Ryan, a guy some people consider to be a top-10 or even top-5 QB in the league. If Garoppolo had gone to a higher profile college, he might even have snuck into the first round or supplanted Carr as the #4 QB.

Isn't this kinda Deja Vu from a decade or two ago when the Lions got a couple of high first round WRs in a short period of years and had the "best WR corps in the NFL"? Hopefully this will work out equally well for them hahahaha.
The Suh thing is gumming up the works for them, though they say they're perfectly happy to go into the season without finishing the renegotiation.
All I know is that when you renegotiate to get more cap space, you've got to give the player something. And that something is usually more money down the road. The Lions are, in my estimation, heading to a cap hell if they renegotiate this contract with Suh. And I'm not buying that "boo hoo we got lots of high picks before the last CBA so we're screwed paying those rookies all this money." That may have been so for a while, but the same management team has extended Stafford before really needing to, and renegotiated Suh's and Johnson's contracts already, and signed FA's freely.

I am going on record right now that Carr goes to NE with their 1st round pick. I am assuming he is the QB that gets to them, but if its one of the other "4" then I think they will draft whichever is available.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
No reason to think they don't, and since he's still on the team I think they like him fine. If he's there, their phone rings and they move back to the top of the second.
I don't see that happening though. The scenario I envision is some of the teams at the top of the draft passing on a QB the first time around then trading back into the end of the first round once a QB goes off the board and they know a run is going to start. One of the teams I could see starting the run would be the Jets at #18 (they have to know Smith is a bomb), which would put the Pack in a good spot. It could start as late at Cleveland's second first round pick at #26, but I don't see that happening.
This would mean the players that go at the top of the first would be Watkins, Clowney, Mathews, Robinson, Mack...

TT should draft a Fresno State player, Derek Carr.

And for Harv, Farrar thinks Vereen could be a decent 3rd round pick, but likes him as slot CB more than just safety.

Would I take Brock Vereen in the third round and make him a stellar slot cornerback? You damn right I would.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I thought I read that despite initial reports, they had met with all the top QBs?

Data mining idea: go back through each year of PackerRats and find first 2000x (where x is the current season +1) Draft Thread and record the date it starts. See if it correlates with the Packers final regular season record.
