Official 1st Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

[red]

Board is filled with morons....as are most. Why do you think I'm here?

we (packer fans) hate the pick. that should tell you all you need to know

[Bretsky]

Checked out a Vikes board and they hate, hate the pick.

They are idiots :)...the Titans were grabbing him if the Vikes did not

The smart Vikes fans hang here

[pbmax]

HA - Bortles.....

And Mayock said only one QB was going in the first round.

[red]

Tennessee up. They need OT and CB.

i heard all week on talk radio that the locker experiment is over

[Rastak]

Always good entertainment to get the negative reaction of your rivals. I think that's why Rastak keeps coming back every year, since we never like TT's picks.


LOL.....there is that...but also more intelligent conversation.

[pittstang5]

so is all chucky going to talk about is Manziel going to whatever team is on the clock.

[woodbuck27]

The LIONS and TE Eric Ebron.

Screw "D" Ehh !

Eric Ebron drafted 10th overall by Detroit Lions

NFL.com ... Published: May 8, 2014 at 09:14 p.m.

[Teamcheez1]

DAM......I was thinking Dix or Ebron here....great pick by the Lions

TE at #10? I think not.

Lions new Motto: fuck defense, we'll just score 50 points a game.

we've got the patent on that slogan

NONE OF OUR GUYS ARE GONE YET....SHAKING OUT GOOD

[SavedByGrace]

Lewan was a stud for me on Madden a few years ago

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/T/Taylor-Lewan

Taylor Lewan
School: Michigan
Position: T
Positive: Four-year starter at left tackle awarded all-America honors the past two years. Large, athletic tackle with a complete game. Bends his knees, starts low to the ground, and shows skill on the line of scrimmage or blocking in motion. Strong, gets movement run blocking, and easily turns defenders from the action. Can slide in space, makes great use of angles, and anchors at the point. Stays square and keeps defenders in front of him. Quickly sets up off the snap, keeps his head on a swivel, and works well with teammates. Shows skill on the second level and annihilates linebackers to open up the running lanes.

Negative: Lacks quick, fluid footwork off the edge. Not overly nifty or nimble and struggles to adjust. Overextends into blocks on occasion.

Analysis: Lewan was a terrific four-year starter at Michigan and in many ways is one of the more underrated prospects in this year's draft. He's a terrific run blocker who holds his own in pass protection while also shwoing ability blocking in motion. Lewan offers potential at both left or right tackle and the versatility to line up for a number of blocking schemes.

Who are the guys you're fired up for in this round?

[superfan]

Giants possibly getting Donald scares me a bit.

[red]

whats tomorrow? 2nd and 3rd round, or just second?

[woodbuck27]

Tennessee up. They need OT and CB.

They might jump at a QB.

[red]

Who are the guys you're fired up for in this round?

in no order, most on here want, mosely, shazier, clinton-dix, pryor

i also want jimmie ward

[Joemailman]

This should be Aaron Donald or Zack Martin. I don't think I've been right yet, so who will it really be?

[red]

next 3 teams could all go safety

Nice list.

[RashanGary]

NONE OF OUR GUYS ARE GONE YET....SHAKING OUT GOOD

Except Barr. Some places were saying he could slip. They were wrong. He was #1 on my board outside of those top 6 or so clear-cut best.

[superfan]

Who are the guys you're fired up for in this round?

I'm leaning towards Mosely since he seems to be (wait for it) Packer People, in addition to being a damn good player. Plus with his injury history he should have no problem fitting in.

In reality, when GB is up, expect the following:

1) Trade out of the first round
2) Look at Kiper's BPA list, Ted will pick a guy in the 15-35 range. And he will end up being a star.

[Rastak]

whats tomorrow? 2nd and 3rd round, or just second?


2-3 I believe.

[red]

This should be Aaron Donald or Zack Martin. I don't think I've been right yet, so who will it really be?

my two main sites both have it being martin

[Joemailman]

whats tomorrow? 2nd and 3rd round, or just second?

2nd and 3rd. TT has 3 picks. Could be 5 if he trades down to top of 2nd.

looks like Donald is going to drop to the Bears

[red]

its pretty funny how mayock chimes in and says "it could also be player x", about a minute after the radio announces player x is the pick

i've caught him doing this a few times now

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/WR/Odell-Beckham-Jr

Odell Beckham Jr.
School: LSU
Position: WR
Positive: Three-year starter productive as a receiver and return specialist. Junior totals last season included 59 receptions, 1152 receiving yards, and 8 TDs. Also averaged 26.4 yards on 32 kick returns. Sophomore totals included 43 receptions, 713 yards, and 2 TDs. Awarded multiple all-America and all-conference honors last season. Dynamic skill player with the ability to break games open whenever the balls in his hands. Quick off the line, displays a burst of speed, and switches it on in a single step. Stretches the field and easily makes the over-the-shoulder reception at full speed. Plays with excellent balance, body control, and contorts in midair to come away with the ball. Adjusts to make the catch in stride, snatches the pass away from his frame, and shows good eye-hand coordination. Uses his frame to shield away defenders and protect the pass. Possesses relatively soft hands.

Negative: Loses out in battles. Loses focus and drops some catchable throws. Not known for the greatest practice habits.

Analysis: Beckham is a talented, athletic prospect with the speed and quickness necessary to instantaneously break games open. He offers possibilities as a number one receiver/return specialist who can line up in the slot or on the flanks. If focused on the task at hand, Beckham offers big-time potential for the next level.

Lucky f'n bastards

BECKAM GOING THERE IS GOOD FOR US

[HarveyWallbangers]

I like Barr but as 3-4 OLB. As 4-3 OLB or 4-3 DE, I don't like him nearly as much.

[Guiness]

10+ picks off the board, and Manziel is still in the green room. The talking heads tried to sell us on the idea the Texans were seriously considering him at #1 and he ends up not even being the first QB off the board. Will he be the next?

[wist43]

Wow... the Rams took Donald

[wist43]

surprised the rams took Donald... glad he didn't go to the Bears though :)

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/DT/Aaron-Donald

Aaron Donald
School: Pittsburgh
Position: DT
Positive: Highly decorated defensive lineman and three-year starter at Pittsburgh. Senior totals included 59 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. Also recorded 16 quarterback hurries and 4 forced fumbles. Totaled 18.5 tackles for loss as a junior. Posted 16 tackles for loss as well as 11 sacks during his sophomore campaign. Intense and athletic defensive line prospect whose draft stock is on the rise. Plays with great quickness, explosion, and leverage. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step. Plays with good pad level, keeping his feet and hands active throughout the action. Instinctive, quickly finds the ball, and plays through the whistle. Defeats opponents in a variety of ways and shows himself to be more than just a first-move lineman. Possesses an arsenal of moves to get around blockers as well as the power to run through them. Jolts opponents with violent hand punch. Disruptive force constantly behind the line of scrimmage. Easily changes direction to pursue the play down the line of scrimmage, and has a closing burst to the action. Plays with an aggressive attitude but at the same time is a smart lineman. Gives effort and gets results defending the run while also possessing a great deal of pass-rushing skill.

Negative: Lacks bulk and can be engulfed by larger opponents or out positioned from the play. Scheme limited.

Analysis: Donald had three highly productive seasons at Pittsburgh then performed brilliantly in the pre-draft process. He has size limitations but should be a premier 3-technique tackle at the next level with the ability to occasionally line up as a two-gap end. Entering the season as a late-round pick, expect Donald to fall somewhere in the middle of the first round this May.

I agree with that... good player, but he won't be max value in 4-3

I like three of your four. Shazier is way too small and not mean enough. We need a NASTY LB

Shazier is explosive...tons of tackles for Losses and several forced fumbles.......ton of upside there and he can play multiple roles in the 3-4

I have no problem with those that argue Shazier would be the best fit for GB of that group

[RashanGary]

beckham is good, great even. I just think, for us, like NE, its most important to be on the same page with the QB. i like Cooks and Lee for us. Most savvy of the talented wrs in this draft. Rodgers, like Brady, jst wont throw you the ball if he doesnt trust you.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Beckham is a Jennings clone. He'd fit with us.

[SavedByGrace]

Shazier is explosive...tons of tackles for Losses and several forced fumbles.......ton of upside there and he can play multiple roles in the 3-4

[red]

whew. one bullet dodged

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/CB/Kyle-Fuller

Kyle Fuller
School: Virginia Tech
Position: CB
Positive: Full-time starter the past three seasons after seeing significant action with the first team as a freshman. Senior totals included 24 tackles, 2 INTs, and 10 PBUs. Highly decorated throughout his college career. Outstanding shutdown corner rarely challenged by opponents. Fluid backpedaling, runs downfield with opponents, and properly positions himself to defend the throw. Displays a sense of timing, instinctive, and rarely makes mental mistakes. Aggressive defending the run, sells out on the blitz, and wraps up when tackling. Constantly around the action making positive plays.

Negative: Inconsistent with his backpedal. At times struggles making plays with his back to the ball. Lacks the elite speed for a top cornerback.

Analysis: Fuller was a dynamite player at Virginia Tech and possesses the skills necessary to start at the next level. Best suited in zone coverage or backed off the line of scrimmage, he's also a productive special teams player and should contribute as a rookie.

[SavedByGrace]

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/OLB/Ryan-Shazier

Ryan Shazier
School: Ohio State
Position: OLB
Positive: Three-year starter who posted a team-best 143 tackles and 22.5 tackles for loss last season, as well as 4 forced fumbles. Incredibly productive linebacker with poor size for the next level. Explosive, plays with suddenness, and very quick arriving on the scene. Covers a lot of area, gets depth on pass drops, and is effective making plays in space. Fast moving sideline to sideline, immediately alters his angle of attack, and loses little momentum changing direction. Stays with assignments, displays great skill in pursuit, and fiercely chases the action. Throws his body around the field and works hard to get involved.

Negative: Lacks size, gets caught up in the trash or taken away from the action by fullbacks. Average awareness and instincts in coverage.

Analysis: From strictly a football point of view, Shazier is a top-notch linebacker who shows incredible production defending the run or making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He's also a terrific athlete who gets depth on pass drops and easily runs down ball handlers in pursuit. Limited size and growth potential narrows the types of systems Shazier can effectively line up in at the next level and the number of teams who'll use a first round choice for his services.

[woodbuck27]

5 picks until we're up, 3 of our guys still there. cowboys are gonna take manziel. so 4 picks until us

Jerry Jones told us for two weeks ...NO WAY and Manziel.

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/T/Zack-Martin

Zack Martin
School: Notre Dame
Position: T
Positive: Four-year starter at left tackle for Notre Dame. Smart, competitive college left tackle who plays with terrific fundamentals. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage, and displays terrific range off the edge. Slides out in pass protection, covers a lot of area, and stays square. Patient, makes exceptional use of angles, and anchors at the point of attack. Quick off the snap, explosive at the point, and keeps his feet moving on contact. Smart, aware lineman. Uses his assets to their maximum.

Negative: Solid run blocker but does not get much movement the point of attack. Minimally effective blocking in motion. Lacks classic left tackle height.

Analysis: Martin has been a terrific left tackle for Notre Dame, exceeding expectations and pleasantly surprising scouts along the way. He's not a prospect who meets the eyeball test rather a player who continually gets the job done. Martin is a first-round pick who should be given every opportunity to stay at left tackle in the NFL.

Man, watching all these college football highlights makes me so jacked up for Saturdays in fall!


Not me, I watch 3 games a year at best.

[Bretsky]

I think they go Mosley here; hope I'm wrong

[Guiness]

gregg rosenthal ‏@greggrosenthal 2m

Rams lied to a lot people.

??
Got any explanation for that?

[woodbuck27]

Johnny "football " wants to get very drunk and mess with women right now.

His worst nightmare...Green Bay being home during the NFL season.

No mail delivery.

[Joemailman]

Baltimore needs S and CB.

[pbmax]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 59s

I had the Harbaugh brothers making a trade here in my mock. San Fran wants a WR like Cooks. Lot of safeties still on board for BAL
If a team trades up to take Johnnie Football that is good for GB

The Ravens are hard ass.....Prior or Mosely are coming off the board here; take it to the bank. They want smash mouth every down players.

[Bretsky]

going back to TMJ and frickin commercial

[wist43]

Trade back Ted!!!!

[pbmax]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora now

The Ravens have selected LB CJ Mosley

[woodbuck27]

I think they go Mosley here; hope I'm wrong

Yup. BPA !!!

Damn sometimes I hate it when I'm right.

[wist43]

phew!!! CJ Mosley

[red]

ravens take mosley

[Bretsky]

Dear Ted; Please don't draft a slug. I could even live with a WR over a slug

[pbmax]

??
Got any explanation for that?

Told half of league early QB, then started denying it two weeks ago.

[red]

one of the two safeties will be there for us

our biggest need will be filled

[esoxx]

Fuck!!!!!

[Bretsky]

GREAT PICK by Baltimore; he'll be outstanding in their 3-4 package.

[wist43]

Yeah, I didn't want Mosley... I think he's a good player - but with dunderdummy as our DC, I figured Mosley would be a wasted pick

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/ILB/CJ-Mosley

C.J. Mosley
School: Alabama
Position: ILB
Positive: Three-year starter who also saw extensive playing time as a freshman. Awarded all-American and all-conference honors throughout his college career. Senior totals included a team-leading 108 tackles and 5 pass defenses. Junior numbers included 99 tackles. Instinctive, natural linebacker and a three-down defender. Plays smart, disciplined football, stays with assignments and takes good angles to the play. Breaks down well, effectively uses his hands to protect himself, and wraps up when tackling. Efficient, shows a good head for the ball, but also tough. Fires up the field defending the run and sells out on the blitz. Slides down the line laterally, shows skill in pursuit, and gets depth on pass drops. Better than average speed moving in every direction of the field.

Negative: Not a forceful pass rusher. Slow shedding blocks. Does not show great skill in pursuit.

Analysis: Mosley was a four-year producer for Alabama and a linebacker who was effective defending the run or covering the pass. He's a multi-scheme, three-down linebacker who should quickly break into the starting lineup at the next level.

[pbmax]

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 17s

So there go the inside linebackers. Safeties or, as I wrote this morning, Dennard or a WR.

[MTPackerfan]

Will we take one of the Safeties?

[wist43]

GREAT PICK by Baltimore; he'll be outstanding in their 3-4 package.

Yeah, a good pick for Baltimore - would not have been a good pick for us.

[red]

Trade back Ted!!!!

stay where you are ted and take whichever of clinton-dix or pryor falls in your lap

[pittstang5]

My fear - Kony Ealy. It's almost a guarantee Ted takes him.

[MTPackerfan]

trade back with Cleveland so they can get Manzel?

[Bretsky]

I'd be fine with a trade back but I'd be very happy with a safety and Brandin Cooks would be fine as well

Cooks may go to the Jets here

It would be dam funny if TT went with the Alabama OT and then cut Fluffy's ass !!

[woodbuck27]

Jets needs are CB; WR or TE.

FS's ... Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Calvin Pryor as a selection for BPA !?

[pbmax]

Torn on this. Glad ILBs are gone, not the biggest need and both had trouble. But Safety is big need and both top guys have issues as well.

Time to trade back or take a WR.

[RashanGary]

I have a feeling we're picking Louis Nix III

[woodbuck27]

I'd be fine with a trade back but I'd be very happy with a safety and Brandin Cooks would be fine as well

Brandin Cooks is logical to the Jets.

[Bretsky]

Yeah, a good pick for Baltimore - would not have been a good pick for us.

he would have been a great pick for GB as well
And a safety will be there with our 2nd round pick IMO
a LB that can hold Mosley's jock strap...I don't think...will be

Prior or Dix !!

Hoping the Jets to WR or CB

Gotta be cooks

[Bretsky]

I have a feeling we're picking Louis Nix III


I will puke

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 1m

Talked to Bama team doctor Lyle Cain today about CJ Mosley’s medical condition. 3 major injuries. Has no long-term concerns.



Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 38s

HCD and Pryor are not great players and they're not great athletes. If GB is sold on Hyde then do they take one?

[SavedByGrace]

Jets will go after a WR

[Bretsky]

WTF is going on with the Milwaukee coverage ? Is this an all commercial station ???? Crap

[pbmax]

Manziel talk is Chiefs or Eagles

[wist43]

he would have been a great pick for GB as well
And a safety will be there with our 2nd round pick IMO
a LB that can hold Mosley's jock strap...I don't think...will be

You got that WAAAAYYYYY backwards...

I'd much rather have Van Noy in the 2nd, than Mosley in the 2nd... and as for safeties... after the first few guys, it gets real thin real quick.

Screw counting on Hyde at S; if GB was sold on Hyde at Safety we should have not had horseshit players playing ahead of him last year

[wist43]

Jets took Pryor :(

[pittstang5]

Pryor to the Jets

[pbmax]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 15s

The Jets have selected S Calvin Pryor. And our first safety is off the board http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/drafttracker …

[red]

I will puke

me too

so thats probably gonna be the pick

[woodbuck27]

NJO. 19 ... Miami ... needs @ OT; OG and Safety

NO. 20 ... Arizona ... needs @ Pass Rush; WR and Free Safety.

[red]

FUCK

jets take pryor

[wist43]

Now I really, really want to trade back...

[pittstang5]

Fuck it, trade out now.

[RashanGary]

Cooks, Lee, Nix for us.....

[Bretsky]

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

so much for all our guys are still on the board with only five picks left

Hopefullly we don't relive a couple years ago and pick another fluffy

[SavedByGrace]

Prior was the guy I REALLY wanted...shoot

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/S/Calvin-Pryor

Calvin Pryor
School: Louisville
Position: S
Positive: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors the past two seasons. Athletic safety with a complete game as well as a good degree of upside potential. Plays with incredible quickness, shows a tremendous closing burst, and very sudden. Explodes to the action, possesses a nice move to the throw, and both quick and fast. Picks up assignments in zone, covers a lot of area, and shows tremendous range going sideline to sideline. Easily gets outside the numbers to cover the pass, helps out cornerbacks, and plays with an aggressive style. Shows improving ball skills, flashes the ability to play over the slot receiver, and makes a lot of athletic plays. Fights through blocks to get up the field and defend the run. Hard hitter and aggressively lays his shoulders into runners, looking for the knockout blow.

Negative: Inefficient and occasionally takes improper angles to the action. Still rough around the edges.

Analysis: Pryor was a consistent performer for Louisville and showed great improvement the past three seasons. He's a complete safety who aggressively defends the run and holds his own in coverage. Pryor comes with tremendous upside and will eventually develop into a starter at the next level.

[pbmax]

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 40s

It's Pryor to Jets, @JasonLaCanfora says. Dennard, HCD, a WR among options for #Packers

[wist43]

I think we're going to go WR here... least risk

[Bretsky]

Cooks, Lee, Nix for us.....

IMO.....Lee and Nix are not at all good values at 21..............Cooks is

[woodbuck27]

Jets go to one of our most popular draft prospects and one of two FS's at the top of the Safety Rankings:

Hard hitting FS Calvin Pryor.

[MTPackerfan]

not sure about a WR in 1st round, are they really worth it?

[Bretsky]

Now I really, really want to trade back...


MIAMI is going to draft Dix

[pbmax]

Michael Tanier ‏@MikeTanier 1m

All these sane #Cowboys and #Jets picks are freakin' me out, man.

[woodbuck27]

I predict that....HaHa Clinton- Dix goes before our pick.

[Bretsky]

I hate the idea of drafting a guy who played better in 2012 than 2013 (Nix)

[SavedByGrace]

Jets...you suckhttp://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1720529/jaguars-fan-gif.gif

[RashanGary]

Nix is a fighter inside. Hes not BJ, doesnt battle, Raji

[Bretsky]

On other hand.....MIAMI is really weak on OL

AZ could go Manzel...BUT....they have a 35 yr old QB as well

[superfan]

I hate the idea of drafting a guy who played better in 2012 than 2013 (Nix)

It's called "Justin Harrell Syndrome". We are all afflicted.

[pbmax]

I hate the idea of drafting a guy who played better in 2012 than 2013 (Nix)

Think Dan Marino

[woodbuck27]

MIAMI is going to draft Dix

Both Miami and Arizona have need at Safety...

Ha Ha won't laugh in Green Bay.

[pbmax]

CB maybe?

[Bretsky]

Nix is a fighter inside. Hes not BJ, doesnt battle, Raji


I'd take Lee or Cooks or Dix over the slug w/o a lot of thought

[Joemailman]

Top 4 BPA

Dennard
Ealy
Lee
Ha-Ha

[Bretsky]

Think Dan Marino


You had to go back 25 years for your example ?

[woodbuck27]

On other hand.....MIAMI is really weak on OL

AZ could go Manzel...BUT....they have a 35 yr old QB as well


I like the chance that the cards go QB too.


I like the chance they go WR and Brandin Cooks more.

[wist43]

I'd be okay with Bradley Roby too...

[pbmax]

You had to go back 25 years for your example ?

You want to be happy or current?

[MTPackerfan]

what about Jimmy Ward, too early to take him?

[pbmax]

I'd be okay with Bradley Roby too...

Why down on Dennard?

[wist43]

I think Ward is too small at safety for TT to pick... I'd be okay with him, but I think TT won't take him

[Bretsky]

Nix would be a classic TT pick; an insurance policy when expecting Raji to leave.

But in a WR we could get a WR and return guy

[SavedByGrace]

Radio listeners, who did the Dolphins take?

[pbmax]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 8s

The Dolphins have selected JuWuan James T

[red]

whew

HaHa, welcome to green bay

[MTPackerfan]

James OT for Miami

[Bretsky]

You want to be happy or current?

that is funny shit.....great comeback :)

[wist43]

Why down on Dennard?

Dennard has terrible ball skills... doesn't look back for the ball, is very handsy downfield, and is like Harris, in that he is a 1/2 step away from not being able to lose a step...

Lot of things I don't like about Dennard

[woodbuck27]

I like the chance that the cards go QB too.


I like the chance they go WR and Brandin Cooks more.

The pick is in and it's ................ ???

It's .... Jawuan James | OT, Tennessee

[pittstang5]

I don't think Dix will be the pick

[Bretsky]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[red]

saints trade up, they aren't taking a safety

[Rastak]

Saints jump up.....

[Joemailman]

http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2014/T/Jawuan-James

Jawuan James
School: Tennessee
Position: T
Positive: Four-year starter at right tackle awarded all-conference honors last season. Large, small-area blocker with limited upside. Quickly sets up off the snap, explosive at the point and patient in pass protection. Keeps his head on a swivel, works blocks, and makes good use of angles sealing defenders from the play. Blocks with good lean, stays square, and is a solid position blocker. Works his hands throughout the action, keeps his feet moving, and strong at the point.

Negative: Lacks fluid footwork in pass protection. Lumbers around the field and is ineffective blocking in motion. Lacks range and balance and falls off blocks.

Analysis: James was productive and durable at Tennessee but and get the most from his ability. He's a middle round pick who could play right tackle at the next level in the correct scheme.

[SavedByGrace]

Ha Ha to GB? Come on, TT! Make it happen

[pbmax]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 38s

KC likes Johnny Manziel. But Chiefs also attempting to trade back in draft.
