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.

    • if we counting rushinf also sanders also scored 1 rushing td.  so byoung had one more rushing td same passing tds sanders had the int and around 120 more total yards than young in his 3rd ever game.  young year 2 end of the year at that time but in 3 years he has arguably had only 1 better game than sanders had in his 3rd ever game even having this convo shows how bad most of youngs 3 years in the league have been.  no way browns trade sanders and he may still suck just crazy to think how littlr production panthers have had from young and everyone craps on sanders when he did this his 3rd ever game on a total crap team
    • I LOVE threads like this with different opinions and a topic we can actually discuss other than "The QB/HC/OC sux" so thank you! I do agree with your premise. The NFL is always changing, and defenses are having to find ways to adjust to these incredible offenses. I think talent on both sides of the ball is at an all time high, and the rules favor the offense more than ever. I think you're seeing multiple things.  1) QB has never been harder. The things QBs are now asked to do presnap are nothing like what they used to be. Offensive coordinators have gotten so good, and so creative. The best ones are the guys that can convey that to their QB and players better than the others. There's nobody in the NFL calling plays that doesn't understand offensive football, you just have guys that don't teach it well. Sean McVay really changed the way a lot of offenses run, and it's a copycat league, so most orgs have taken a lot of the nuance he brought to the game. Small things like intentionally sending the WR to the wrong side of the formation, and then running him back across presnap are now all over the league, nearly ever snap. It's motion without the motion.  2) Defenses have gotten so much more creative. It's insane to watch the things defenses do to disguise coverage now.  If you don't disguise your coverages consistently now, you're going to get ripped apart. Almost every snap is reminiscent of the old "Radar" defense to me now. It's fascinating to watch. I also think you're seeing a lot of blown coverage as a result of this stuff, but we've always had blown coverage. 3) The WR and Corner talent is ridiculous. I don't think we've ever seen guys this big, this fast, or this strong playing WR or Corner ever. and some of them are all three! There are corners that you shouldn't throw the ball to their guy, period. There are WR that can win every matchup. There have always been some dominant guys, but I do think what we are seeing is special.  Finally, the best QBs are always going to be able to figure it out. I think that's how you see the statistical outliers that we see sometimes in this data. Furthermore, I think it explains the mid career resurgence we see in so many guys this day and time. It takes a while to figure this stuff out. They do not run stuff this complicated on offense for sure in college, and most defenses don't do anything like we are seeing either. 
    • He isn't the last QB in YPG. There are a few actually below him.
