None of the guys fans want to fall to the Panthers will be there at 14. Teams like San Francisco will trade up and nab good players because of a glut of picks and a lack of spots on their talented roster for them. Panthers end up taking someone nobody expects or trading down...

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reports that “several executives” believe the Raiders will take Houston CB D.J. Hayden at No. 3 if they can’t trade back.

The Raiders are open to trading down if a deal can be swung, but they are prepared to take their man in Hayden with the third pick if a partner can’t be found. Oakland needs help all over the field, especially on defense, and Hayden has been steadily picking up steam as the draft’s top corner. The Raiders may not be able to trade down too far if they want him. The Lions at No. 5 and the Browns at No. 6 also have a cornerback need.

So Fisher number 1, DJ Hayden number 3.. Crazy

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
