official 2014 nfl draft thread

That's your crop of rookie FAs that TT will pour over for the next Shields, etc. etc. Raw underclassman, confidence in your coaching; take risk on measurables and see what develops. Then let go four years later in FA and get 3rd round pick!

FOOLPROOF!

Everyone thought he had a monster day.

Projected round for A. Donald? Anybody? Anybody? If he's a mid round guy then we can draft S snd LB early

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...0/aaron-donald 2nd round pick. Good player, but sounds like Mike Daniels. Not that that's bad, but maybe not what TT is looking for.

2nd

6'0, 285 seems kinda small for what we need

[red]

he was the ncaa defensive player of the year, so its not like he's exactly flying under the radar

won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy this year

He was beating up Cyril Richardson apparently.

I've watched alot of Aaron Donald. He's a one man wrecking crew. Measurables aside, Aaron Donald is Aaron Kampman times 10. His motor is non-stop. He got a alot of double teams and unfortunately didn't have much help. Saw him get frustrated a couple times with the double teams - He'd get a brain fart and do something stupid and cost the defense 15 yards.

He's only 6'0' but he was fun to watch. Comparison to Mike Daniels is pretty accurate, but I think Daniels is taller. I'd guess he'd be a situational inside rush guy for a 4-3 team. Don't see TT taking him at all.

Aaron Donald is a twitched up dude! The Geno Atkins comparisons were flying all over the place in my talks with personnel friends.

I think I'm the only 1 that's riding the fence on Chris Borland. Heard "I love that dude" a bunch and "good college player, bad pro" a bunch

ASU DT Will Sutton looked very lethargic and heavy legged.

Virginia DT Brent Urban plays too high but he's got very strong hands. Looks like a 3-4 DE.

La Tech DT Justin Ellis had a good week at the East/West Game and he had an excellent practice today. Also, he dropped 9 pounds in a week!

Auburn DE/OLB Dee Ford gets overpowered at times but he has an explosive get off in pass situations. Nice inside counter move too

I thought Donald won a bunch of awards this year...sounded like he was a monster. He'll go to a 4-3 team like Tampa with Lovie where they want guys to rush. If he lasts past pick 40 I'd be surprised (unless there's a medical red flag).

Donald was measured at 6' 1" and 288.

here's the type of guys i would like us to be looking fo

from http://www.packers.com/news-and-even...b-e364204d327f

Georgia Tech’s Jeremiah Attaochu is a player to watch. He was a premier pass rusher as a defensive end but was moved in 2013 to outside linebacker, which is where he might fit best in the NFL, in a 3-4. He came on strong in the second half of the season and he looked forceful on Monday.

heres a guy who was a great pass rusher at DE, but for his senior year he got moved to OLB. here is the type of guy we are looking for, but he already has the first year of his transition under his belt
