I have to disagree about Easly not being quick. I watched him all this year and he either knew the snap count perfectly every time, or got off the line faster than anyone. There was probably 3 or 4 times a game where I thought he was going to be offsides, only to just be the first one off the line. Also, he plays inside a lot, so he may end up translating to a 3-4 DE rather than a pure pass rusher. However, he tore his ACL, so his stock is going to drop to day 2 or 3, whereas if he was healthy I would easily slot him into round 1.

I may be off a bit, but watching TAMU, it seems that Evans does make a few good catches, but most of his yards come from catching the ball in space and then having the opposing team miss 14 tackles.

He also won the Biletnikoff award and the Paul Warfield trophy and was a two-time All-American and he ran a 4.3 40 at 6'5 and 230 lbs. and had great hands and ran great routes. Maybe the surest of sure things as you can get, save for the fact that the Lions were drafting him. Also he had Reggie Ball throwing to him and still managed to look good, so that's definitely a sure thing.

Hey its never too early for a mock draft, and certainly not too early for one with 3 QB's in the top 5. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/2014-nfl-draft-report-full-first-round-mock-222745657--nfl.html edit: And 4 in the top 7, Derek Carr

So who is going to be this year's "measurables" QB? As in some QB that is like 6'5" or taller and 250+ lbs that wasn't terrible in college, but wasn't that great either that GM's all think they can coach into an amazing QB. I guess what I am asking, is who is this years Josh Freeman?

MourningView posted:Iowa OT Brandon Scherff, who was likely to be on the first round bubble had he entered the draft, is going back to school for his senior year. For that position, its probably not as bad as for a qb. He won't get that crazy scrutiny and will probably boost his stock into a sure first rounder instead of a bubble.

He said on a radio show he only wanted a one year deal with the Dolphins so he could show he was back to top form after his injury, so he is going to the highest bidder, and its likely going to be Oakland since they will have a poo poo ton of money to spend next year.

b0ng posted:If an LT ends up being the BPA available for the draft and your team has a hole at RT is it dumb to draft that player #1 to slot him as a RT for for most if not all of his rookie contract? Duane Brown is signed until 2018 and is only 27 or 28 years old. I know the Texans RT position sucks but can't you find good to great RT's later on? At #1 overall (should the Texans get that) wouldn't it be smarter to draft the best QB or pass rusher on the board and leave O-line to later rounds or free agency? It seems to be working out ok for the Chiefs this year, but its not a guarantee. Some people can transition from one side to the other and some can't.

Catfish Noodlin posted:I've started paying attention to draft prospects, and as a Dolphins fan I'm obviously going to start with the offensive line and I've found Taylor Lewan to be very disturbing and I'm terrified the Dolphins are going to draft him. On the bright side though I think the Incognito situation will force the Dolphins (maybe some other teams but I doubt more than a handful) to more carefully look at that stuff. Hell, this will also be the first post-Hernandez draft so it will be interesting to see the weight placed upon these events.

Clowney might actually be more disruptive in the pro's than in college. In college you can get away with putting that much attention and playcalling around a single guy like Clowney. That won't fly in the NFL. Although he probably won't be breaking the double and triple teams as frequently as he does now.

I thought it was a good idea if you were the clear #1, because its just less of an opportunity for you to gently caress up. That said, McCarron is no where near the clear or even muddy #1.

RumbleFish posted:Connor Shaw has been invited to the combine. Good for him. I thought he showed good mobility today and a nice touch on his throws. I know he has made some dumb decisions before, but this game he was pretty good. Only 6'1" and a shade over 200 lbs so that is probably a big knock. Still, if the guy has a good Senior Bowl and a decent combine could end up as a Day 2 selection.

The thing about AJ McCarron is that he was viewed (rightly or not) as a game manager. Right or wrong, the guy has that label affixed to him and the only way to get it off is to have an awesome Sugar Bowl (which means Bama has to get away from their run first ball control offense) or have an awesome Senior Bowl. The combine is ok, but its not hard to have a great workout or pro-day when it isn't true competition. I understand not wanting to play in the Senior Bowl, you are basically being thrown in with a bunch of people and a random coach who may run a completely different system and you have like a week to develop chemistry with receivers, running backs, etc. Despite that, I think unless he feels like he is going to poo poo the bed, the Senior Bowl would be a good thing for McCarron if only to try and shake the "game manager" tag.

My favorite thing about Bortles is that there is almost a near perfect 50/50 split (at least in TFF) over whether its the best football name or worst football name. There is no middle ground.
