2015 Draft Prospects Thread

Ladarius Gunter is intriguing. I see he got a Senior Bowl invite, I could see him boosting his stock a ton.

 

[Hurricane Season]

He'll be good with some quality coaching.  

 

[Teagz]

Teams are gonna love his size. I feel like he could be the player that everyone made Stanley Jean-Baptiste to be before the draft last year; he's tall and is actually skilled, unlike SJB.

Started some QB scouting, this is where I'm at right now.
 
Mariota
Hundley
 
Kessler
 
Winston
 
Haven't watched Petty, Grayson or Prescott yet.

FWIW, I would take Derek Carr over every QB in this draft. Mariota seems Foles-level to me, in terms of star quality

 

[bosoxlover12]

Also, TJ Clemmings from Pitt is a perfect pick for the Patriots. Athletic OT that is a great run blocker, and while raw, projects to be a good LT. 
 
 
With Solder going on his last year in NE next season, its perfect

 

[TTN2810]

In hindsight, yes. There were a lot of questions about Carr though coming out though, most of which he has now answered.
 
I could see Kessler or Hundley becoming the best from this class, but Mariota will be good, IMO. His floor is Tannehill, which I would definitely live with.
 
There isn't a top flight QB in this class, but I think you can win consistently with 4-5 of them.
 
I would not take Winston before the 2nd, either, and you'd better have a good running game. NFL zones are going to kill him.

Not for me. Before the draft, I said the two things Carr needed to work on was accuracy and footwork, but he was basically ready to go, and that he was the #1 QB. He completed 58.6% of his passes, which isn't fantastic, and his footwork is as good as it is for any standard rookie QB.
 
I loved Carr pre-draft, and I am so happy he did well in his rookie year with Oakland. I really hope they surround him with offensive talent this offseason, like Cooper

 

[bosoxlover12]

I'd say Mariota's ceiling/floor is between a better, more aggressive Chiefs' Alex Smith and Alex Smith when he played for Singletary

 

[TTN2810]

The biggest issue with Carr by far was his pocket presence and eye level which are much better now.

 

[TTN2810]

Also, not seeing the Mariota/Smith comp man.

 

[TTN2810]

Well Kessler is going back. Now the only true starters may be Mariota and Hundley.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Interested to see what you think about Grayson.  I haven't found any of his film yet.

They've got like two of his games up.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Winston isn't good now?

 

[TTN2810]

Winston isn't good now?

He's a nice college QB. He's a servicable NFL starter, IMO. Fringe playoff QB.
 
I'm looking forward to checking out Grayson soon too Jake.

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Isn't he undefeated in college? (Not saying he would be great in the NFL because of this)

 

[TTN2810]

Probably lol. He just doesn't translate great. He's super talented, but the NFL will pick him apart, eventually, if not right off the bat.

 

[Hurricane Season]

He's really not even a great college qb if we're looking at just this season. His heisman year was pretty amazing, but he's regressed significantly as a passer this year.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Carden has a goofy delivery and played in an offense that minimized potential mistakes, but anyone that plays that efficiently has some talent. He might be a decent late round developmental guy.
