Uh, there have been a couple first round traps since EJ Manuel.

Still glad the Giants jumped on the Eli Apple grenade.

Eli Apple has played well though?

The Giants don't have a lot of needs but the needs they do have are significant. I'd rather they shoot for one of the big tight ends. They need to jettison the gently caress out of Flowers too but I'd rather not reach on another tackle.

I'll just pretend that we drafted Landon Collins at #9.

Mitch Trubisky is not the name of a good quarterback. It's of a 20-year veteran at Long Snapper.

Condensed version of that scouting report:

Strengths:
- Can't teach size
- Has an arm
- Processes the play when he has time (like every other quarterback ever?)

Weaknesses:
- Woefully inaccurate
- Gets receivers killed
- Shoddy mechanics
- Poor timing on passes
- Can't handle pressure
- The pocket presence of Blaine Gabbert

What's the consensus on Jamal Adams? Watching his alabama game now and he seems crazy aware of everything that's going on at all times. Seems a solid tackler too. My only issue with him is that he seems to take plays off as there are plays where there are 4 guys trying to tackle a runner and he just jogs toward them rather than running in to stop it. Is his effort a recurring question or am I overanalyzing?

If the effort isn't a problem he seems exactly like the type of guy the panthers love to draft early. Smart, high awareness, nose for the football etc etc.

All the draftheads love him and are pegging him in the Top-5 to 10. It's a great class for DBs.

No one is better off staying with their draft stock as high as Peppers is.

peppers is getting mocked around 10, there's no way he should stay.

bucannon is a weird comparison, he went 27th overall as basically a project, he ended up adding like 30 lbs to play linebacker, but he also had the benefit of staying at safety for 4 years

He's probably a strong safety at the next level. Landon Collins is the trendy comp being thrown around, but Collins had elite tools and better ball skills.

Where do you even start with rebuilding the 49ers? That roster is completely devoid of talent and no candidate worth a drat will want to work under the sniveling turd that is Jed York.

You can't draft a first-round quarterback to that team because they'll retire before their rookie contract is up.

are there any decent QB prospects this draft? I'm thinking that the Giants definitely need to start planning for the future and get someone who can step in after Eli becomes a pumpkin. the more pressing needs are a boost to the OL and depth at LB, I think

Half the guys pegged for round 1 right now end up being Day 2 or worse picks come April.

Calvin was an absolute genetic freak. His size and ability was always going to stand out. Guys that aren't Galactus physically are going to slip under the radar with bad quarterback play.

Sammy Watkins has looked good whenever he's on the field. Everyone has just forgotten about him (because Buffalo) but his first two years were still really good.

He's not fast enough. Titans need a burner WR. I'm liking what Todd has in Corey Davis at 5 and then best DB avail at pick 18.

Edit: I think Robinson really wants a 2nd round pick, I wouldn't be surprised if the Titans try to trade out of #5.

a receiver doesn't have to be a burner if his catch radius extends from here to mars (see: plaxico burress)
