Looks like there are starters at DT to be had in the first two rounds

Starters at cb to he had in the first three rounds.

LB doesnt look great except at the very beginning. Only three guys really capable of playing three downs unless you count Kyle Dugger as a will/nickle lb (on third down). 

Several solutions at guard/center should be available in the 4th round. 

Rb,we could get a potential (after a year or so) starter in the fourth or fifth.

The deepest positions in this draft are cb and wr.  Safety is not that far behind.  LB has actually a lot of guys in the 2nd and 3rd day that are pretty good.  The kid from App State, the one from Texas Tech, and the kid from either Montana or Wyoming (I forget which) are all 3 down guys that may be able to start mid way through their rookie season, at least by season 2.  

Tackle, offensive and defensive, are everywhere.  Outside of the first 2 DT i don't see any starting day one but you could name maybe 10 that could see alot of playing time.  OT is kind of the same there is about 5 or 6 that could start day one but you can find solid backups all the way into sometime on day 3 with the Kansas kid. 

TE sucks, DE sucks, RB is not much better.

We'll see. Just like every other draft class, there will be steals and there will be busts. There will be guys everyone overlooked who end up as late round picks who become very good pros and there will be some guys drafted in the 1st who are out of the league or fighting just to make a roster after just a few years.

This is off the top of my head and I can't remember names but here are the guys I this could start this year:

Alabama kid

LSU kid

Cal kid

Both the guys from Utah

Southern Illinois kid (Chinn I think) 

Gardner Webb kid

Minnesota kid

Maybe the Aurburn kid

That's 9 and that's just ones that I see could start this year.   About 4 or 5 more that could start next year and that is without looking back at the list I made.  That's better than what you have most years.

McKinney could fall to the end of the first.  The talent elsewhere is just way too good but safety isn't awful, just not a coveted position and a mixed bag.  Not a Delpit fan but Dugger and Chinn look to be rising. 

CB is sneaky good.  Thought it was kind of light on talent at first but have come around to the guys in the 2nd-3rdish projection range.  About 5-6 instant starters overall.

WR goes for miles but there will be 3 very happy teams that end up with Lamb, Hamler and Jefferson.  A random shoutout--Coulter out of RI is a late rounder I'm a fan of. 

LSU's big ugly captain in Cushenberry, who knows Brady's blocking schemes could be an interesting R2 trade up for us.  His chatter has been quiet but he's a top OL prospect.

If we don't draft Isaiah Simmons at #7 we won't select a LB until the mid-rounds. We need LB depth but D-line and secondary are major needs right now. So knowing that I think we pass on Simmons even if he's there at number 7 and take one of the two DT's

I wouldn't be shocked by us drafting say Patrick Queen or Kenneth Murray at #38 if they were sitting there on the board.

If Murray is there at 38 he must have been caught with a live boy or a dead girl in his bed the day before the draft.

Weird stuff happens every draft. Seems like once you get past the absolute cream of the crop blue chip prospects it turns into a crap shoot pretty quickly.

I think it's decent after the 1st, it's just weak at the top. This isn't a good year to be sitting in the top 15 or so wanting a safety.

Exactly, there's not a Derwin James in this year's draft, but he's an exception.  I couldn't see us spending a top 10 pick at safety anyhow, even without Rivera.  As many as 8 safeties could go before round four.  That's hardly weak.  Just because there's not a stud in the top 10 doesn't mean the entire class is weak.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      By TD alt · Posted

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
