We'll have a much better idea of who we'll be drafting after we play our last game. Its hard to predict right now where we will end up because we've recently been stringing wins together. If we win out (unlikely, but possible) we wont have a chance at a lot of the prospects we're currently being mocked for.

Yes, I think we miss out on Claiborne.. unfortunately. He was my top pick for us. With Kalil not entering the draft, that makes it more unlikely.

1. Colts - Luck

2. Vikes - Riley Rieff/Blackmon

3. Rams - Blackmon/Rieff

4. Jags - Claiborne

There is your top 4.

There's also Jonathon Martin. He's an incredible talent, and very high on a lot of people's Draft boards. I would see the Rams taking an offensive lineman, especially since Sam Bradford was hit all season long.

Even if Rieff and Martin go #2 and #3 respectively, Blackmon will go the Jags at #4, then Claiborne will get snagged by the Bucs before us.. we need to lose to the Bucs in order for us to have a shot at Claiborne. I don't think the Bucs will beat us at home.. do you?

True, but the Jags situation could be the interesting one. PFT did an article a few days ago talking about how the new coach in Jacksonville might not be committed to Gabbert, especially if a better option presents itself.

If Barkley declares, there's him, as well as RG3.

I think it would be dumb to go to another QB so fast after drafting Gabbert, but, new owner, new coach, eh. We'll see.

It has happened once before (drafting a QB in the 1st round two years in a row). It is possible considering the new coaching staff, and Gabbert has not been light out.. and doesn't seem to be improving too quickly. I hope Barkley declares along with Kalil because that will help a ton in dropping Claiborne.. but still, if we beat the Bucs again, it will be a moot point because they will assurededly take Claiborne.

    • Needs to be a run heavy game. They have allowed 121+ on the ground in the last 3 games including 180 to Tampa yesterday. If they do the whole crowd the box deal like they did against us, push the ball downfield. If we can do it to the Rams and Falcons we can do it to them.
    • Rushing attempts PG are actually the 5th lowest since 1990.
    • team are playing lots of 2 high shell trying to take away the big plays.  But I mean, defenses being scared of QB play.....aids the run game.  I mean, don't pay the QB and have the threat....the safeties aren't going to be fixated on taking away the deep pass and can play the run and cheat on pass attempts.  I think what you are seeing is the most elite QBs are flat out being game planned for to take away the big play.  But if you aren't an elite QB and vertical threat QB.....defenses flat out aren't going to make that league wide shift on your offense.  Take a Bryce.  I would imagine most of his INTs are made by opposing safties over the course of his career (who aren't taking away the vertical but cheating to make plays on the intermediate balls)
