"Johnny Manziel is on the short list of players the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering with their first-round pick in next month's NFL draft, a league source told ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure." What team is going to be desperate enough to trade for Glennon?

commy gun posted:People are still high on Mariota. Why? Because he's a pretty good QB, at least by college standards, and a pretty great athlete. It's no different than any other hot next season prospect list. Tahj Boyd was a top 5 player going into last year.

Mariota is a way better QB than Tajh Boyd, and Boyd is only a great athlete if you're looking at one attribute

I absolutely nailed him before the draft and I am always wrong about prospects. I made sure to mail my draft fanfic to Ozzie Newsome early this year so there won't be another mistake like that.

Ive been loving saying for a while now that the Bucs will look hard at QB in the first and the way everyone else is backing off of the top guys it seems more likely.

Chichevache posted:I'm still loving mad he didn't get taken by my team (or any team really) in the first two rounds. Anyone who watched him at Cal could see he had some amazing potential. When you're having 100+ yard games with a QB who only completes 40% of his passes you're a pretty loving good receiver. I think everyone in TFF got that one right.

Dude had 800 yards as a rookie with Andre Johnson across from him and with that QB play; I'm thinking he's in for a good career.

Keenan Allen was absolutely a shaky prospect. He was definitely the best WR in last year's draft but his 40 time and injury history scared more than a few people. Last year's draft kinda sucked for WRs anyway, and there were guys that I really didn't like, like Tavon Austin and Cordarrelle Patterson.

That's what I remember too. Honestly my unreasonable affection for him was mostly due to wanting some one to come in a fill Boldin's slot as slow sure handed receiver but Allen turned out to be a lot more than that.

Texans fans are the only group that can be OK with passing on Keenan Allen. Nuke seems to be legit. Everyone else...whoops.

That's a fair assessment, especially because Hopkins complements Andre Johnson better than Keenan Allen would.

I could easily see DeAndre become Reggie Wayne part 2. He's an incredible route runner at 21 years old and catches drat near everything near him.

It's almost cute at this point that every mock draft out there has KC taking a receiver. I love when Odell Beckham Jr. is projected to KC, as if he'd fall that far. Maybe people see "LSU" and just plug them into KC's slot. Not that that isn't understandable considering how many LSU guys KC has drafted. However, KC has had predraft workouts with 9 safeties, 12 cornerbacks, 8 receivers. Only three of those receivers are projected to be first round picks, Marquise Lee, Mike Evans (will be long gone), and Brandin Cooks. KC is going with a defensive back in the first round I'm thinking.

Does KC still have Dunta? Or was he god awful there too and that's why you're on the market for a new corner?

I'm okay with them taking Manziel or Bridgewater at 7 if they're available. Especially since they would probably sit for a year or two behind McCown (depending on how well he does) and could be programmed by Tedford as he sees fit.

I'd be scared shitless of either one landing in TB. It's enough to deal with Drew Brees and Cam Newton twice per year, but lets throw Johnny Football on there twice to boot! By comparison, Matt Ryan would then be the most boring NFC South Quarterback

I'd like Manziel to be anywhere but Cleveland probably. I still think he's more likely to be an entertaining trainwreck than a great QB, but mobile QBs always seem to manage to cause Pittsburgh problems even when they're not good.

Chilichimp posted:Does KC still have Dunta? Or was he god awful there too and that's why you're on the market for a new corner? Yeah they cut him pretty soon after the season. And yes he was loving terrible all year long, got replaced pretty quickly by Marcus Cooper, a 7th round rookie who the Chiefs picked up after the 49ers cut him. To be fair Cooper looked pretty good early on before looking pretty awful late. The upshot is I don't think Dunta was even dressed for half the year.

Then Michael Thomas was swiped off the practice squad and Chris Culliver decided to do criminally stupid things. What I'm saying is, can we have Cooper back please?
