FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK ENDORSEMENTS

[pbmax]

How all the shitty teams view the top 4 QB's is going to pretty much determine our fate. If only one of them goes like last year its really going to shit in our cheerios for BPA.

If this is true I like our odds.

#OVERDRAFTING!

What would it take to jump 7-8 spots and take Ebron? Any chance it would only take a 3? Now that we have the extra 3 could TT trade up for Ebron in the first, go S in the 2nd and C or WR in the 3rd and Fourth?

To move up that far in the 1st round would probably require the Packers 2nd. TT has never used any pick higher than a 3rd for a TE.

Looks like da Beast will be long gone by pick 21

There are a lot of guys I can live with... deep draft.

In no particular order:

Eric Ebron, TE
Calvin Pryor, S
Ryan Shazier, LB
Jimmy Ward, S
Clinton-Dix, S
Kyle Fuller, CB
Bradley Roby, CB (depends on what his OVI is all about)

Lot of good players to choose from... wouldn't mind trading down.

Would you be disappointed if TT went WR?

I make it that about 1/3 of the teams have a first or second priority need at WR.

I see a run on WR's in Rd 2.

TT could select a top notch WR @ pick NO. 21 and ( go BPA ... DE;TE or Safety) @ Pick #53 in Rd. 2.

MORE FROM MAYOCK ON THE TWO BIG DOGS

Q. On Calvin Pryor and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

MAYOCK: They are different players. For me, Calvin prior is like a bigger, stronger Bob Sanders. He flies around, he hits people, he explodes everywhere. I think he is a little better in the box than he is on the back end. It might be just because of the way Louisville used him. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix did, from the other hand, has got better range, and I think he's more of a deep third, deep‑half guy, he tackles well and he can invert up into the box. I think he's a complete player, so both of those guys, I wouldn't even blink if they went at No. 10. But it depends what flavor you're looking for because they are a little bit different type players.


TWO MORE GUYS I'D BE HAPPY WITH that ILL SOON PIMP MORE AT SAFETY

DEONE BUCANNON....
ED REYNOLDS


THESE ARE MY FAB FOUR

I've looked at both for my mock.

SS Deone Bucannon (Sr.) 6' - 1 " and 211 lbs @ Pick #53 (and maybe a slight reach here !?).

FS Ed Reynolds (rJr) and 6'-1" and 207 lbs - Fr. Stanford @ Pick #121

Like MD and JH, I endorse Brandin Cooks at 21. Having big targets Nelson and Boykin outside along with quick and heady Cobb and all-world speedy Cooks slashing inside would be a lethal combination that would be impossible to match up against. I see safety, ILB and TE prospects that can be had in the 2nd and 3rd but you're not gonna find 4.3 playmakers past the first round. Beckham would be a good possibility too but he's more of a Cobb clone than a unique complement that brings an added dimension (blazing speed) like Cooks does.

I'm starting to think this way too.

Get a top notch WR before the run on them in Round NO. 2.

Realistically:

It will depend on TT's board and BPA.

It will depend on any opportunity that's pleasing to TT and trading down.

Hell, I don't know what to think. My head's spinning now. Mosley - great athlete, but can he cover a tight end, and is he injury prone? Pryor? Too much an in-the-box guy, like they think Burnett should be, and maybe out of control? Ward? Big enough? Shazier - can he play inside?

I'm so confused. Just have the damn draft already, and pick someone, for god's sake.

What I don't seem to be able to see is a guy that might be even within seven or eight picks of their #21 spot who could be that all-pro difference-maker. I seem to see a lot of guys who could be good, or maybe really good, but I'm not seeing that Clay Matthews/Aaron Rodgers kind of guy being available after the first six or so guys are gone.

But what do I know? Not much. I do like reading all of your assessments. Better than most national blah blah draft reports.

A WR in rd 1 would be the safest pick we could make. If for some insane reason Mike Evans fell to us, that's who we've gotta take. Elsewise, trading back into the late first or early second and picking the BPA who falls to us (Mosely) is the way to go. Would also be nice to trade back and nab Shazier or Ward. Either of those guys plus an extra 3rd round pick sounds like a damn steal.

Agree 100%. I think WR and QB talent translates best from college to pros. Unless a DB really stands out from the field, like Earl Thomas or Patrick Peterson, they can be a bust at the Rnd 1 pick. We picked up Hayward in the 2nd and Burnett in the 3rd.

Mike Evans isn't falling outside of the top 10 and there is no guarantee Shazier even falls to us at 21. I might be the only person on this board that prays we don't draft Mosley, I'm sorry but if you can't stay healthy in college playing LB what makes you think that will change in the NFL with stronger and faster players along with playing more games. Also with his size I wouldn't touch Ward in the 1st round, he is too small to be a impact player IMO.

[smuggler]

Not only that, but GB in particular seems to have a great knack for getting the most out of their WR draft selections. If the BPA is a WR, make the pick and never look back.

I disagree, Nelson and Boykin might be over 6 feet but neither play it like. We have a draft loaded with WR talent and probably the best GM in the league in scouting WR talent...it would make no sense to select a WR with our first pick. Also 40 times are the most overrated stat for WRs EVER! If we ever watched Cooks play his football speed is no where near his 40 speed plus he adds to ZERO impact to the return game.


We need to go defense early, Broncos had a loaded WR corps too and look how they turned out in the Super Bowl. A guy I like who fits the mold you are looking for but would be much cheaper would be a guy like Bruce Ellington from South Carolina. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profil...ton?id=2543646

Plays faster then his 40 time, great vertical, great hands, 2 sport athlete (basketball), and would add to the return game.
