"Bill Belichick would make a monster out of him,” an NFC general manager said of South Carolina DE Jadaveon Clowney

too bad we'll never pick high enough to get a guy like that under BB and TB12

have to wait a year.. 

and then who knows how many years you'll have to wait after that

do they limit how many first can be traded in consecutive years like in the nba?

No, the NFL has many more players/rounds, you are free to do with your picks as you choose.

What are the chances of Isiaih Crowell getting drafted?

Heard he is entering, put up pretty good numbers this year

 

[champcruthik]

Brandon Coleman. Nice target in the middle rounds for a team that needs a big receiver.

 

[herbshuttles15]

I see Benjamin surpassing Evans for the second wr spot Evans 40 time might hurt him.

 

[primetime21]

So which QB should my chicago bears take in the 1st round?

5.  I think I’m hearing some crazy things about the quarterback race at the top of the draft. Namely: I know one team that, as of now, thinks it’s no sure thing Teddy Bridgewater will be the top quarterback on its board (and this is a team that could take a quarterback in the first round). Moreover, this team believes Central Florida’s Blake Bortles or Johnny Manziel could be the top quarterback on the board. That’s right. Blake Bortles. We don’t even know if Bortles, a redshirt junior, will return for his fifth season at UCF. He will reportedly make his decision after Central Florida’s Fiesta Bowl game against Baylor.

It's the Vikings.

They have no clue on quarterbacks. If all 3 are avaiable they would play rock, paper, scissor to decide.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Were at #3 last 2 games @SD and vs Denver. Just Lose Out Baby

Bridgewater or Clowney to Raiders!

 

[champcruthik]

Aaron Lynch is in.

Savage said most scouts have McCarron in the second day.

I see him peaking at R2, lowest R4.

 

[Ricky D]

Sitting at #5, hoping Atlanta takes either Anthony Barr or Jake Matthews. We need some serious help on both sides of the ball.

 

[herbshuttles15]

Would not mind taking Aaron Lynch

 

[champcruthik]

Barr and Matthews might both be gone by 5.

Some order of Teddy, Clowney, Barr, Matthews. First 4 selections.

Jesus this ucf guy is getting some pub.. Walterfootball has him at 4 here:

Bortles is LOVED in the Draft world. Has been all year.

 

[IATT]

Top 5 love?

 

[CP1708]

Well.....no, I'd say they have more top 5 love for Carr, but top 10 maybe for Bortles if he tests well. No diff than Ponder, Gabbert, Locker, Sanchez etc.

 

[gunna get it]

Whoever Bortles' "future" agent is, doing an incredible job. And he must be kicking out to Mel Kiper too.

Man.. I mean I would love for all 2 to be off the board before the eagles pick because that means more guys at positions of need drop down for us (or make it easier to trade up.. Since it doesn't seem to take an absurd amount to move up anymore).. But that still amazes me how QBs always get forced into the top 10-20 out of need


I hope at least 4-5 QBs go before the eagles are on the clock

Ya know, growin up, Kiper was the man. Just amazing off the top of his head, every player, school, system, pure knowledge.

But he's........rough now ain't he? He was talkin about Hyde from Ohio St bein a round 1 RB the other day, had all of Twitter flippin thru pages like whaaaaaaat????? He makes these weird connections from player to team, hell, ESPN uses him as a prop to argue with McShay moreso than provide actual Intel.

 

[651akathepaul]

Just decided...Vikings need to go best player available. I feel more comfortable with them going defense (Clowney/Barr preferably) and seeing what's available in round 2 for QB.

Cassel isn't the long-term answer, but he's a suitable player for a team that can definitely benefit with a young and athletic defense moving outdoors for two years. He has experience in cold weather having been in KC and he can move the chains and get everyone involved.

It's one of those cases where he has top level talent every single place you look (AP, Jennings, Rudolph, Patterson) and just needs to distribute. If Vikings show desperation for a franchise quarterback then this has the potential to set the team back more than we know.

Also need to note that I'll be immediately optimistic if they took Manziel, but with a cautious neutrality for their long-term.

 

[dacomeup]

McShay dropped a mock draft or just talked about it on ESPN?
