  1. He was polished the year before, no doubt. Last year, in my personal opinion he got exposed. How in the plue perfect Hell do you throw 3 picks to the Florida Gators in one quarter? That's ridiculous. Anyway, I'm glad we have Panthers fans on here taking up for their eventual opponent. Ryan was much more polished coming out of college. So was Manning. Winston had a poo ton of talent around him this year and for the most part just played average if you include all the picks.
  2. 1. I don't care if they're all 5 year seniors. ITS BOSTON fuging COLLEGE, they don't get 5 stars all over the place like Florida State. I would hope Winston's schedule would be more difficult, hes at Florida State the reigning National Champion. Winston had Greene and O'Leary mind you. Both stout guys, better than anyone at BC the year Ryan was there. Decent stats, but all in all. The talent level at Florida State is 10X better than the talent level at BC. It's not a comparison. Not to mention, Jameis came out as a 5 star, and Ryan wasn't expected to do poo as a 3 star prospect.
  3. Manning threw 26 in the NFL. Winston threw 18 in fuging college. Matt Ryan threw that many with a total lack of talent around him at BC. What did anyone expect?
  4. A stat? You said freshman receivers? That's an excuse, a stat is me saying he threw like 18 interceptions. The talent around him is 10X better than any team in the ACC besides Clemson.
  5. Humphries is mildly entertaining to me, Clemmings is a massive project. Colins, Peat, and Flowers are all studs. If any 3 of those guys fall, we better jump on them ASAP.
  6. I wouldn't want to either, there won't be anything but projects there at 25.
  7. Oh, it's not going to happen. It just sounds really good to me. Dude, think about it. DGB +Kelvin+Olsen? Wet dream for a fan base.
  8. I get what you're saying, good sir. But sometimes, the juice is worth the squeeze, if they can get you over that damn hump in the road. Which I think DGB could. Especially with our family atmosphere and locker room leaders not putting up with the bull poo.
  9. Ha, didn't think of it like that, sir. Well played.
  10. Either way, we won't take him because our organization doesn't take chances. When DGB beast, and doesn't get in trouble. We'll all be sitting here shaking our heads thinking of what if?
  11. Cool story, sir. Randy Moss came into the NFL and never got suspended. Lawrence Taylor? Ray Lewis? I can go on and on. When you have the right people around a player, that player can excel. Dez Bryant is another instance. Until that video leaks, which looks like it won't if it hasn't by now.
  12. DUDE he was in the ACC and playing against one of the worst teams in the SEC. You just gave a bunch of excuses. I don't want to hear it. O'Leary and Greene were if not the best TE-WR combo in the NCAA's last year. I'm not sold on Winston, but thanks for taking up for the Bucs future QB. That's real sweet of you.
  13. 18 INT's in college vs the ACC and one SEC team=polished? f u c k, Case Keenum coming out of college was a damn monster then.
  14. Todd McShay: Jameis Winston is the most polished QB the past 10 years besides Andrew Luck. Hard to take anything he says serious.
  15. I'm gonna assume the Tiger in your name means Missouri. Is that correct? Or is it LSU or Clemson?
  16. https://oklahoma.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1745688 Yeah, he looks like a real time bomb. Rolls eyes. This kid has changed, you can tell it. Last two seasons were real humbling for him. In high school he didn't get in trouble, and at Missouri he was the big man on campus that thought he could get away with murder. What do you expect? When he finally got into a REAL football environment like OU, he changed everything.
  17. Searcy has signed with the *** ans. http://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2015/3/10/8183095/report-tennessee-titans-to-sign-danorris-searcy
  18. What he thinks our first two days of the draft will look like? Does he think offense is a priority finally? Or does he think Gettlemen will stick to his own BPA bit regardless of offense or defense?
  19. 10) - Amari Cooper - St. Louis Rams (6-10) COLLEGE: Alabama Class: Jr HT: 6-0 WT: 211 POS: WR Analysis: The Rams aren't going to get a QB here. It's just not happening. And whether Sam Bradford is back next season, or it's somebody else, they need to find a way to improve the options in the passing game beyond the current mix of talented but complementary options. Cooper is a true No. 1, a supremely gifted route runner who doesn't just do it with smarts, but with 4.4 speed and the ability to set up defenders and then run past them. The Rams keep improving on defense and remain stuck in place on offense. Cooper is a true building-block piece. 11) - Trae Waynes - Minnesota Vikings (7-9) COLLEGE: Michigan State Class: Jr HT: 6-0 WT: 186 POS: CB Analysis: If Cooper were to slide past the Rams he's one of the easiest picks in the draft here, but if he doesn't and the board breaks this way it could be hard for Minnesota to pass on a player who both profiles as a safe pick -- the tape is there -- and an explosive one who can create points on the defensive side of the ball. Especially when this draft is again chock full of pass-catching talent. The Vikings are in decent shape up front, but they lack both depth and size at cornerback, which is no fun in a division with Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford and Jay Cutler on the schedule six times a year. (To be clear: That's a mix of a lot of competent throwing and potential for INTs.) Waynes isn't much of a reach here after a stellar combine and definitely hits a need. 12) - Danny Shelton - Cleveland Browns (7-9) COLLEGE: Washington Class: Sr HT: 6-2 WT: 339 POS: DT Analysis: Teams ran consistently and effectively on the Browns last season, and it started in the middle of the line, where they just didn't have the block-eaters after Phil Taylor was lost with an injury. And while we know the Browns need to add at least one pass-catcher who can come in and help early, Shelton landing here would be a gift. He's not as disruptive as sack and TFL totals indicate, but he can eat up double-teams at the point of attack and make others around him better. He has great awareness and will occasionally simply discard blocks and make the tackle himself. He can also eat up snaps. At 340 pounds, he's exactly what the Browns need in the middle. 13) - Brandon Scherff - New Orleans Saints (7-9) COLLEGE: Iowa Class: Sr HT: 6-4 WT: 319 POS: OT Analysis: The Saints could end up cutting one of their guards and couldn't do any better in adding a replacement in the draft if Scherff is still available here. I've said before I see Scherff as a high-floor addition on the offensive line, because even if he doesn't stay at tackle I think he can become a dominant guard pretty early on. The player isn't a facsimile, but you can make a comparison to how Dallas drafted Zack Martin and moved him inside as a rookie and saw him flourish; I think the Saints can count on immediate dividends from Scherff. He's one of the more dominant run-blocking linemen we've seen in the draft in the past few years, and he brings experience and the ability to take on the job like a professional right away. 14) - DeVante Parker - Miami Dolphins (8-8) COLLEGE: Louisville Class: Sr HT: 6-2 WT: 209 POS: WR Analysis: Brandon Gibson is gone, Brian Hartline will soon follow and Mike Wallace has a chance to be traded. In short, wide receiver is becoming a pretty clear need for this offense. Parker has as high a ceiling as you can find in this class and it wouldn't surprise me at all if someday we're talking about him as the best of the top three guys in this class, as I have them closely grouped. Parker will beat defenders to the ball on high-point catches with his size, leaping ability and catch radius, and he's underrated as a threat to add yards after the catch on short throws. I can see Miami going a few different ways here, but Parker makes sense because the Dolphins need to keep options available for Ryan Tannehill. 15) - Arik Armstead - San Francisco 49ers (8-8) COLLEGE: Oregon Class: Jr HT: 6-7 WT: 292 POS: DE Analysis: Armstead to San Francisco would be a good balance of hitting an immediate need and the 49ers adding yet another player with high upside they can develop -- it's an area they've succeeded in consistently. The 49ers are staring at a situation where Ray McDonald is gone and Justin Smith is likely to follow -- and even if Smith continues to play it shouldn't be a ton of snaps. Armstead is big, powerful, athletic and raw, and while he won't be great right away because he's inconsistent and hasn't truly locked in a defined role, he's physically ready to help and should be able to provide a spark as a rotation player on the line. 16) - La'El Collins - Houston Texans (9-7) COLLEGE: LSU Class: Sr HT: 6-4 WT: 308 POS: T Analysis: The departure of Andre Johnson isn't going to make make the Texans depart from the blueprint of a team that can win the physical battle at the line of scrimmage. Depending on what happens in free agency the Texans could be looking for immediate help at right tackle and potentially guard depending on how they decide to move people around. Collins is a player many have pegged as a dominant NFL guard (not a bad thing to have), but I think he can stay at tackle and play well. At a minimum he's going to be fantastic in the run game, as he can simply take people where they don't want to go.
  20. 17) - Malcom Brown - San Diego Chargers (9-7) COLLEGE: Texas Class: Jr HT: 6-2 WT: 319 POS: DT Analysis: This pick could go in a few different directions. The Chargers need to add bodies along the offensive line; they need another pass-catcher; they could use another cornerback even with the addition of Jason Verrett in last year's draft. But I think the fit of Brown as a needed two-gapper on the interior of that defensive line makes a lot of sense. Brown isn't a complete product but he's one of the better run-defending solutions among defensive linemen in this draft and gives the Chargers more upside for a guy playing between Kendall Reyes and Corey Liuget. 18) - Jaelen Strong - Kansas City Chiefs (9-7) COLLEGE: Arizona State Class: Jr HT: 6-2 WT: 217 POS: WR Analysis: This draft is so loaded with pass-catchers I think Strong tends to get overlooked. He put together a great week in Indy, running 4.44 at nearly 220 pounds, and the fact that he came in slightly under 6-foot-3 was countered by a 42-inch vertical, a number that shows up on tape as Strong wins on balls in the air and won't just out-muscle defenders, but can shed them as a runner. I don't know if a true down-the-field threat is going to magically turn Alex Smith into a QB who is willing to test defenses deep -- or even if that's what Andy Reid really thinks Smith can be -- but Strong certainly helps make it an option, something this offense needs. 19) - Ereck Flowers - Cleveland Browns (7-9) COLLEGE: Miami (FL) Class: Jr HT: 6-6 WT: 329 POS: OT Analysis: I can see Browns fans cringing at the thought of a first round with two picks that doesn't deliver a wide receiver. But let's remember this draft is packed with pass-catching talent, and if the board breaks this way I think the Browns could target a potential high-impact offensive lineman rather than taking the fifth receiver available at No. 19 overall. The Browns were really set back on offense last year when they lost Alex Mack, and while Flowers isn't a center, a player like him would have helped offset the brutal ripple effect we saw last year. For a team that has to run the ball to be successful on offense, making sure things are in a good place up front is crucial. The Browns can still get a couple of good pass-catchers from this draft. 20) - Jalen Collins - Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) COLLEGE: LSU Class: Jr HT: 6-1 WT: 203 POS: CB Analysis: Chip Kelly is in the midst of remaking the roster, but be it via trade or in free agency he's going to see it won't be easy to simply plug holes at cornerback, an area where the Eagles need help. Collins is a high-upside play as a cornerback with good size, reach and athletic attributes. He can play physical but also turn and run with the fastest wide receivers in the league. He's not a complete package yet, but he can press, play off and shows awareness in zone. This is a big enough need that Collins probably won't be the only CB the Eagles draft. 21) - Eli Harold - Cincinnati Bengals (10-5-1) COLLEGE: Virginia Class: Jr HT: 6-3 WT: 247 POS: OLB Analysis: You can quibble all day about whether Harold is a perfect fit in Cincinnati; what can't be argued is that the Bengals' pass rush was absolutely dreadful in 2014 -- pretty safely the worst in the NFL -- and they simply need to find more explosiveness off the edge. Harold isn't the total package in terms of his ability to counter when he gets blocked or display great awareness against the run, but the guy has tremendous get-off and is an exceptional athlete who can beat people with quickness. The Bengals can't go wrong if they add a pass-rusher here. 22) - Landon Collins - Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) COLLEGE: Alabama Class: Jr HT: 6-0 WT: 228 POS: S Analysis: In my previous mock, I had Collins landing here as a player who can come in and contribute right away. Even if the Steelers decide Troy Polamalu is fine to come back for another year, they won't expect him to play every down, and Collins would not only help right away but serve as a logical replacement. He's a highly versatile safety who can make plays at the line of scrimmage and won't look bad in coverage. He brings a ton of experience. I also think getting the top safety in the draft at No. 22 would be a solid value. 23) - Eddie Goldman - Detroit Lions (11-5) COLLEGE: Florida State Class: Jr HT: 6-3 WT: 336 POS: DT Analysis: Mr. McShay made a good point on the podcast this week, which is that even if the Lions hold on to Ndamukong Suh they still need to add depth on the interior of the defensive line because they could lose a couple of pieces from last year's rotation. The Lions also need to add help along the offensive line, but even though you can't replace Suh from a performance standpoint, you can at least try to make sure the D-line doesn't go from strength to weakness in a single offseason. Goldman is a good interior defender who can occupy blocks and will flash quickness to disrupt, and has a chance to become really good if his growth continues. This is a need even if Suh is back. Without him, it's a true void. The rest up to pick 10. 24) - Melvin Gordon - Arizona Cardinals (11-5) COLLEGE: Wisconsin Class: Jr HT: 6-0 WT: 215 POS: RB Analysis: A healthy Andre Ellington gives Arizona some explosiveness out of the backfield, but he's not a player you want to rely on for too many touches, and a good running game will go a long way in Arizona. Gordon has the explosiveness that you need from an RB taken this high -- he's a true game-breaker -- but he's also proved durable. Linebacker is another big need for Arizona, but that's one the team can hit further down the board. If Gordon seems like a luxury pick, the Cardinals could certainly argue he's an immediate-impact player for a team that
