Do the Pats have any extra picks this year? Billy Fiveaces dealing up for Blake Bortles and him leading the Patriots on another decade of dominance would troll TFF twice over.

That's too cheap for the Pats. In order to truly drive home how much the world sucks they would take someone like, hmmm, Bryn Renner late in the draft and have him turn into a better quarterback than Brady. Then HotR will come back and tell all of us how obvious it was he was going to be great and they just needed an excuse to put him in while he was a rookie.

Nah. Belichick is getting pretty old and he will probably retire within one or two years of Brady.

This. The Pats won't draft a QB in the first two rounds, but if one of these guys falls really far, the Patriots could snap them up. I don't think it's likely at all though.

Similar to Yahoo's NCAA Tournament Pick'Em. Have a SAS Group to project the first round of the NFL draft, and see who gets the most correct. Winner is proclaimed the 2014 SAS Draft Expert or something like that.

Accurately predicting the nfl draft would be like accurately predicting the ncaa tournament...there is no way in hell anyone could ever get 16 picks in a row correct much less 32.

It's possible to predict all of the players who will be drafted in the first round, just not to specific teams. I know that Mayock came close one year and had 30 out of 32 players. Most draft guys, even Kiper, can guess up to 20 out of 32 correctly, as long as you disregard the teams listed.

Correct. With trades it has to be impossible to go 32 for 32.

I had a pretty accurate mock draft last year iirc but to predict the trade ups, trade downs, and where a prospect will actually go is nearly impossible. You can sort of hit on who you think is a first round talent, but that's about as far as you can go.

After missing out on the DJax sweepstakes I really, really want the Chiefs to take ODB. 23 seems like the sweet spot for him as well so hopefully he'll be there, but watching the combine workouts for some of the top guys he just seems so much more fluid in and out of his cuts with ridiculous hand size and great leaping ability. I think him and Bowe would make a pretty great tandem, especially in the red zone. I would really like to see him and Avery outside with Bowe in the slot. Lots of potential match-up problems with that.

"I'd welcome the challenges of taking Johnny Manziel," Harbaugh said, according to sfgate.com. "(He) sees the field like nobody I've ever seen see the field in college football. You'd love to work with that."

-Poster

jim harbaugh is clearly sending the Browns a message..."if you draft him and want me to coach your team down the road I would welcome that"

Based on Zimmer quotes & what I hear A&M coaches are telling NFL you gotta REALLY love Manziel to take him top 10

I really hope all of this nonsense is just smoke-screens, because the alternative is the best QB draft in years has very little interest in the actual QBs in terms of top picks and that's too insane for me to believe
