2014 Mockery of the Draft

[Cheesehead Craig]

The Saints need a bit of help in the secondary, so they pick CB Kyle Fuller

Carolina is on the clock.

[Guiness]

Not a big fan of Chargers taking a RB in the 1st round when they have Ryan Matthews, Ronnie Brown, and Danny Woodhead. They need a lot on help on defense if you look at their roster.

I think the RB is a good value there. Considered Tuit on D.

I think Hyde also fills a need. Mathews is never going to play 16 games. Brown is 32(!!!). Woodhead is ok in his new role as an 'air back' but played over his head last year and won't likely duplicate the season. The Chargers are pretty thin at RB.

[Brandon494]

I agree Brown is pretty much done but Matthews and Woodhead was a good 1-2 punch for them last season with Matthews playing all 16 games. They were 13th in rushing last season but 29th in pass defense. CB is their #1 need and I don't see them going RB when you go look at who they currently have starting at CB. I honestly believe we won't see a RB taken in the 1st round.

Quite possible we could see that for the second year in a row. He's highly rated, but I honestly don't know that I've seen him going in the first round. Hard to believe the RB position is so devalued as to fall out of the first round entirely!

[smuggler]

Yeah sorry I am at work and missed the selection of Roby. I still feel that Fuller would be a better pick, but what do I care, it's the Bengals.

[Guiness]

Dee Ford stands out as the guy who has dropped on our board.

Mike Mayock has Shazier, HaHA, and Donald still available at 21 and has the Packers picking Shazier....

Shazier is linebacker made for today's NFL. He has 4.38 speed at 237 pounds and can play inside in the base and all over the place in sub-packages. He'll be an immediate playmaker.

This guy is usually on the money when it comes to the draft. I'll be very happy with either one of those guys if the draft fell that way.

He has Bears selecting Pryor and Dallas taking Manziel.

[woodbuck27]

I dunno, Woodbuck.

What would Wolf's legacy be without Favre?

Pioli/Belichik without Brady?

Ozzie Newsome without Joe Flacco?

Martin without Lewis?

Laurel without Hardy?

Ketchup without mustard?

Then your post suggest that life really is that easy.

Had to have a look to see who he moved up the board to make those HaHa and Donald drop. He has Kouandjio, an OT from Alabama, Cooks and Fuller all going before the Packers pick. He also has Bridgewater hanging around until the Browns pick at 26.

Mike Mayock is a very solid Draft analyst. Arguably the NFL and College prospect "Ultimate" Guru.

Mike Mayock may be wrong in terms of Hasean "Ha Ha" Clinton Dix as he's the top ranked FS and about a dozen NFL teams have a definite need at Safety.

DT Aaron Donald and falling to the Packers pick #21?

I see DT Aaron Donald wearing the colors of the Giants (Pick #12) or the Bears (Pick #14). After that he's going to be a likely BPA candidate and especially attractive to Dallas and Arizona.

Johnny Manziel...is an interesting 2014 Draft watch for me....but not "LIVE".

I'll have to tape this draft as I'm going to give first viewing priorityto the Bruins @ Canadians series fourth game at the Bell Center. There will be some excitement.

Dallas has clearly commented on Johnny Manziel and sources said that the organization would love to see him on the board when it was time for the Dallas Cowboys to pick so they could reject him as an option.

It seems that the Dallas Cowboys are either "doing a snow job" or not liking Johnny Manziel a whole bunch as their franchise QB.

Manziel factor won’t alter Cowboys’ draft plan

Posted Tuesday, May. 06, 2014

" ...to let Jones tell it, the chances of the Cowboys drafting Manziel are about as slim as Jimmy Johnson returning as coach." Fr.

I read other stuff this week and last that told me that Johnny Manziel won't be drafted by Dallas if he falls to them.

Now ....what I'd love to see is Johnny Football drop to the Boys so we can get another look at Jerry Jones "two faces". I see little future and Dallas as a Super Bowl contender and Dallas with 34 year old QB Tony Romo.

Guinness suggested I pick for Carolina, and I can't turn down an excellent Stout, so here we go.

My entirely uninformed opinion and "analysis" - looks like they are light at tackle, with undrafted 3rd year UCLA alum Nate Chandler currently slotted as starting LT. I'd never heard of him before, so clearly he should be upgraded, and somebody needs to watch Cam Newton's back.

The pick is in - Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia

From walterfootball.com:

Height: 6-6. Weight: 314.
40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2014): 1-2.
5/7/14: The top four offensive tackles are expected to go in the top 20 picks, so Moses has a shot at going to a tackle-needy team picking in the final 12 selections of the first round. WalterFootball.com spoke with teams picking early in the second round, and they don't believe that Moses will make it to Friday night.

Moses did not impress in his Combine workout, but that isn't the environment to illustrate what he does well. Moses had a good week at the Senior Bowl. He could use some work on his body to drop some flab and improve his strength, but he did well in the one-on-ones and showed his pass-protection potential.

Moses didn't play against BYU to start 2013, but he came back for Week 2 against Oregon. Moses stayed in the lineup after that to put together a quality senior season. Late in the year, he had an impressive performance against Miami.

8/9/13: Moses was the starter at right tackle on the other side from Oday Aboushi over the past two years. Moses was a solid player and capable run-blocker. He will need to improve his overall game and his pass protection, especially. Moses could stay at right tackle or move inside to guard in the NFL.

Personal: Son of Marion and Morris Moses.

A lot of posters might have picked at WR.

Your analysis as always:

SOUND.
