Mariota might be the best dual threat QB yet. Doesn't take off until he needs to. That's huge. On top of that he has the most complete physical arsenal. He's big, fast, and elusive. Kaep is super fast, Cam is super strong, Wilson/Manziel are super elusive. Mariota has all of that rolled into one.
 
AND is a more devloped passer than any of them coming out except for Wilson perhaps. Look out.

I like going back and reading posts from old draft/prospect threads.

Foles is a guy I've liked since last years draft as well. If some team can afford to take him and sit him for a few years, I think he can develop into another Matt Schaub.
 

This is why I defend Foles even though he plays for Philthy.  Been on that wagon for years.

I like this one even better
 
 
It was in response to my mock back in January of the 2012 Draft, where I mocked you Trent.

QB, Tackle or bust IMO.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't be upset to have Richardson on the team, but taking him wouldn't improve the team. RB is the only position on the offense that isn't a need.
 
Its funny, because you got your top #1 RB... in the 6th round that year

They had Helu, Hightower and Royster at the time.  All of whom were impressive in short stints, and I assumed they would create a great RB by committee.  
 
Morris jumped off the screen from his first carry in preseason.  You could just tell that guy had it.

Looking back it's crazy how much better I have gotten at scouting. Sure I was vocal about some underdogs I liked, but I was way wrong about others too; but who isn't.
 
The biggest change is now I don't let anyone else affect my opinions. I remember I did like Newton at first, but let Mayock and the rest of the media affect my opinion of him and took their word on things, when I clearly saw him making reads and such. I wish I had been more confident in my own evaluation.

I almost forgot how much kam despised Kerrigan and the idea that the Jags might draft him.  Made that 4 sack performance last week absolutely hilarious.

He won't be eligible this year, but Tyler Boyd is phenomenal.  Dude has elite potential.

Kevin White will be a player in the league.

I posted somewhere that Davante Parker would vault up the receiver rankings once he gets healthy... He's looking like maybe the best receiver prospect in the draft right now aside from Cooper, possibly.

IDK if TTN reads this thread anymore, but I'm wondering what he or anyone else thinks about Garrett Grayson.

This year's RB class is loaded as fuck. There's like 6 guys I could see go in the first two days.

David Cobb could be a sleeper too. Not as hyped as Gordon/Gurley/Abdullah but still a great back.

FSU does a hell of a job fucking up star players NFL futures.
 
James Wilder would have been a monster at LB and Karlos Williams should have stayed at safety.

Ray is a great edge rusher. but there is still definite flaws in his entirety
 
 
He is not great in coverage, but he is FAR too small and isn't strong enough to play DE, unless its an unconventional DE, like what NE, SEA, and JAC (among others) do, and play one of the DEs as a stand up rusher.
 
He's definitely an OLB to me in the NFL, but will his coverage skills be good enough to warrant a top pick?
 
 
EDIT: of course I just looked at who is in the bottom of teams, and outside Tampa Bay, the teams in the Top 7 picks could all use a 3-4 OLB edge rusher. So yeah, he'll easily be a top 7 pick
