1) Colts take Luck as expected

2) Redskins trade with the Rams, moving up to take RGIII

3) Vikings - Matt Kalil

4) Browns - Justin Blackmon

5) Bucs - Trent Richardson

6) Rams - Riley Reiff

7) Jaguars - Quinton Coples

8) Panthers - Morris Claiborne

Coples off the board in the top 10, the next DE taken is Melvin Ingram at #20 to the Titans.

The Panthers then package their 2nd rounder plus a mid round pick (maybe throw in Jimmy Clausen to sweeten the deal) and trade with the Patriots

Moving up to 27th overall the Panthers select Whitney Mercilus

after that just go BPA and make sure you get a kicker and punter in the 6th/7th to replace the dumbfugs we have now and you're golden

:party:

lol honestly i don't think it's all that unrealistic
There is a higher chance of Kalil falling to us than Claiborne.

Also why in God's green earth would the Patriots take that trade? Especially when they have Mallet?

franchise LT falling before a CB? lol no

Patriots always look to trade down, even if they have to give a discount. I was joking about the Clausen part. They'd most likely take a high 2nd and a 4th or 5th for the 27th overall

The Kalil part was a joke. Just trying to say it won't happen. Also that deal would be nice I just can't see it happening. I have us drafting Coples.

Most mocks have going Claiborne going #3 to the Vikes but that's only because they have the Rams taking Kalil and aren't adding in trades. I fully expect the Rams to trade the pick and then the Vikings having one of the worst OLines in football and a young QB will most likely go Kalil.

After that the Bucs would be the only team I'd worry about, and I think that's most likely where he'll land. But if they fall in love with Richardson that could change.

The Bucs would be absolutely retarded if they passed on Claiborne to take Richardson.

...and then again, this is the Bucs. Making retarded moves is kinda what they do.

If the Rams trade and the Vikings go Kalil as I expect I'll be crossing my fingers when the Bucs are on the clock. Even if we lose the coinflip and pick 9th I don't see any other team taking Claiborne in that scenario other than the Bucs.

damn you tampa bay, do something stupid, it's what you're good at!

BTW I did say in the title even that this was "unlikely"

I would be ecstatic if Claiborne fell to us (would actually hate a trade down in that scenario), then we could get Markelle Martin in the 2nd (don't think there'll be any DTs there that would be significant upgrades over Neblett/Kearse/Shirley, and I'd rather have Martin than one of those tiny OLBs that are talked up in the 2nd - Spence, etc).

Not that I'd mind Spence, but not with one of our first two picks. If he's there with our 4th round pick, or if we trade down and can have a couple picks to spend on a CB/DT/S/bigger impact player and then use our 3rd pick on him.

Tampa Bay needs CB in the worst way. Barber is going to retire (or should) and the other is possibly headed to prison. RBs are becoming non-essential personnel, to a degree. Teams are keeping two or three, usually with varying skill sets.

I see no way they do not take Claiborne at #5. Secondly, if he drops to #7, Dallas will trade up to get him before we do.

The only way I think this could have happened was probably slammed when Kirkpatrick got busted for weed. TB MAY have preferred the bigger CB.

Stranger things have happened, however.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
