1. Cincinnati - Bowers DE Cincinnati ranked near the bottom of the league in sacks and had to get in front of Denver to pick up the sack artist they desired.

2. Denver - Fairley DT Fox moves to plan B which is not far from Plan A and still a need when moving back to the 4-3

3. Buffalo - Newton QB Fitzgerald will hold down the position till about week 6 when Buffalo finds themselves already on the outside of the playoffs

4. Carolina - Green WR Best player in the draft and heir apparent to the declining Smith. Carolina also picks up Cincinnati's 2nd rounder this year and 2nd rounder next year.

Panthers

2nd - Liuget - DT - Illinois

3rd - Burton - CB - Utah

3rd - Powe - DT - Ole Miss

Really doubt anyone gives up two 2nd rounders to move up four spots to take Bowers. Maybe if they fall in love with a quarterback AND think there's a good shot he'll be taken ahead of them, but for a DE? Possible but highly unlikely. Even if he is their top guy they'd most likely sit tight and hope he falls to them and just go with their #2 option if he doesn't.

As for Liuget and Powe, neither of them have impressed me all that much from the tape I've watched.

after watching this video of Liuget, if he puts on about 15 lbs, he could be a dominant NT in the 3-4. he stuffs running lanes like crazy

Considering some have Bowers and Quinn rated similarly and that Cinci can get one or the other at the 4 spot. Doubt it happens. Also don't see Carolina taking a WR even if they trade Smitty away for a 4th or 5th rounder. (it's all they are going to get, sorry guys.)

Also most scouts have Fairley rated #2 among Dt's now, so I don't they he goes top 5 now...

Highly possible though on draft order though and I'd deffinitely take the trade if they offered it.

Usually in trades I've seen the future pick is usually valued as the current middle pick in one round lower. Or half the value of the middle pick in the same round sam.

So the 2nd rounder next year would be like the 17th pick in the 3rd this year. Or half the value of a 17th next year.

But yeah I agree that would be too much. A 4th would be more like it.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
