Top Ten Draft Buzz Builds For Wr Floyd

Most observers expected Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd to be drafted in the late teens to early 20s when the college season ended. But the latest pre-draft buzz on Floyd indicates he may go as early as the top ten.

And a host of teams picking early want one-on-one time with Floyd before the draft.

Appearing on Sirius NFL Radio with Alex Marvez and Gil Brandt on Sunday, Floyd revealed that he’s already visited the Browns and Panthers. He worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles this past week, and will visit the Titans, Rams, Bengals, and Jets during the coming week. The Cardinals, Dolphins, 49ers, and Vikings will host Floyd the following week.

That’s eleven teams, nine of which draft in the top-17 picks. Five pick in the top ten.

During one of his marvelously informative pre-draft Twitter rants recently, NFL Films producer Greg Cosell compared Floyd to Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe. After watching Notre Dame and Oklahoma State game tape, Cosell also hinted that he prefers Floyd over Justin Blackmon.

Are we to believe Hurney and co are really this openminded about the draft?

I agree on his first round prowess but this team needs a little prudence and more than slight attention to the "other" side of the ball.

I agree and i'm sure quite a few of the top 10 on the big board are defensive players. But if an offensive player they love is available, you take him.

I've official added Floyd to the list of Offensive Players I wouldn't mind us taking with the #9 pick (Kalil, Blackmon, and Floyd). Because of Floyds speed and size, I think the bust factor is extremely low. I still think there's a big chance Claiborne drops to us though.

The latter part interests me.... Why do you think Claiborne would fall to us? I can't see it happening, but am curious as to how you see it.

Offensive Players will be coming off the board early and often. I use to think Tampa was the key to us getting Claiborne, but now I think it's the Rams.

We can all agree on the first 3 picks. Well after that I have Cleveland taking Blackmon, Tampa taking Richardson, Rams taking the lineman out of Iowa or trading down, Jags taking Ingram or Coples, Miami taking Tannehill, and bam there you have it.

Anything is likely when it comes to the Draft.

Last year around this time if I would've told you that PP7 would drop to # 5 you would've thought I was crazy as hell. Not only was he slated as the best defensive player in the draft, but most had him as the best overall player in the draft.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
