2014 NFL Draft Thread

[TTN2810]

I kinda disagree with ya Bosox. I do think Bortles is what Whiz likes. As much as he is WAY WORSE than either of them, he is a mix of Big Ben and Luck, and obviously Whiz coached Ben. I don't think he'd target Garoppolo either. And he did have success with Phil too, who, let's just say doesn't have the strongest of arms at all. 
 
Most of all I think he just likes a smart QB. I could see any number of QB's being able to fit with him, TBH. Garoppolo is one of the few I don't think would fit.

P.S. guys I put together a fun mock for the hell of it featuring four trades. I don't think it will be accurate, these things never are, but I'm just presenting one of a million possible scenarios. This year it's crazier than ever. I even snuck in Mett at 32 in a trade up as an inside joke for you guys. I don't think it will actually happen, but I like the fit and they needed to jump past a few teams to get the dream fit QB after passing on QB early. Hoping to get it posted on Draft Breakdown tomorrow, and I'll post a link here!
 
Also, I think I finished my QB rankings. Had a tough time ordering a few guys, but I think I'm finally ready to finalize my rankings. Y'all probably don't care, but I'll post em anyways. At the very least I hope it can create a discussion! Feel free to critique and ask questions about what I'm thinking lol.

This is nitpicking but the fourth and fifth tier on your list hold the same value to me. And this is the first time I've ever seen the name Keith Wenning in my life, interesting. Apparently I don't watch sports.

 

[TTN2810]

The fourth tier guys have at least some possibility of being a starter some day or in Logan's case has crazy potential, but might never tap it. Fifth tier is career 3rd string type guy, or NFL roster long shots.
 
Keith Wenning is very underrated. Has no hype because he went to Ball St., but he's an interesting one to keep an eye out for.

Don't ever think that none of is care, either. I genuinely enjoy reading your posts, man.

 

[TTN2810]

Thanks man, I appreciate that.

McShit has Beckham Jr. in his top 10 best players in this class... I've loved Beckham since his freshman year, but now I'm wondering if I'm wrong.  McShit is garbage.

 

[Hurricane Season]

The top half of the 2011 draft  was fucking loaded.  12 of the top 16 have made the pro bowl, and Nick Fairley is damn near pro bowl level as well.  The only three that haven't really panned out are QBs that were probably reaches.  Gabbert really wasn't a reach based on the perception of him at the time, though.

 

[elcheato]

And naturally, the Browns traded out of their top 16 pick

Will the Falcons ever learn that they aren't one player away? Every offseason they throw the majority of their resources at one player, and either attempt to fill the rest of their needs with marginal players, or they don't address them at all.

I don't think taking a WR at #4 is the smartest move to make right now, but Josh Gordon & Mike Evans? Lord

 

[elcheato]

Also Ian Rapoport tweeted that Mettenberger's back has been red-flagged.

I have Evans to CLE in my mock too

[jonathanlambert33]

Manziel will be the first QB drafted in the 1st round that is under 6 ft since the 50's.

 

[The Young One]

Brandin Cooks or Marquise Lee need to be our picks

 

[RipCity32]

I have Evans to CLE in my mock too

Ha, that's pretty cool. I wonder who's gonna pull some joke music out.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Who will be the first to cry?
