Not an overwhelming list... Where are the long-snappers?
Kyle Fuller will be the best man corner in this draft. I know we're not taking one but that guy has been great as a freshman like Watkins, Manziel, and Pryor.
Noticed he has Mack over Barr. I agree with him I would be happy with Mack, Watkins, Mathews, Clowney, Bridgewater/Manziel/Bortles at #7.
I didnt realize the RB crop was so lack luster this year.
I don't understand why Joyner keeps being talked about as a Safety. Love the dude but he's 5'8.
He should do 3-4 LB'S and 4-3 LB separately. Same with RT and LT. I mean why have your top 5 centers and only 5 OTs? 5 centers won't even be drafted but you may have 5 OTs picked in the 1st round alone. I don't like Dennard too much. Surprised that he is everyone's top CB after watching him. Justin Gilbert is the guy for my money. Kyle Fuller is the best I have seen but I believe he is injured.
I don't understand the Kony Ealy hype.
I like Mike and he knows his stuff when it comes to prospects, but I am surprised he has Jake Mathews so high. If you watch Manziel plays, defenses didn't rush him very much. They played back and tried to contain him. I think this made Jake Mathews look much better than he really is. I'm no expert on OL....but I hope we stay away for Jake Mathews.
I think Sankey is best out of this RB group. He reminds of our own RB, Doug Martin.
I don't know if there are any super star running backs in this draft, but I think it's a very deep class. There are a lot of solid RB prospects.
I don't understand the Kony Ealy hype.
I don't either . I'm trying so hard to get on his bandwagon , because I desperately want to upgrade DE , but every time I watch his film he just doesn't stand out to me. There's no explosion there , just a motor. I swear he reminds me of Adrian Clayborn. Even his highlight video is boring : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YLMTlSroAM I am either missing something , or this is another case of Draft hype becoming blind acceptance. In other words - the Emperor has No Clothes
Ealy ranks so high because of his build and the ceiling as a player he possesses. He will be like a lesser Ansah. I have a problem drafting people in the 1st who wont make an impact for a couple years.
I'm really surprised that Dion Bailey is not getting a lot of love so far in the draft process. I think that kid is awesome. I've left him off my Fav 50 list because I figured he would be going way to high for us to consider taking a safety.....but if he doesn't go in the first two rounds, than I think we have to consider taking him. He was a linebacker at USC but made the switch to FS. He is a ball hawk, does great in man coverage, and still plays with the nasty physicality of a LB. He was used as a nickel CB often and even lined up outside as CB some. I think we could use him immediately in nickel and dime packages, and if we move on from Goldson in 2015, he is a guy that good step right in and take over as our FS. Just surprised he isn't getting the love I expected. Maybe he got arrested or something and I just haven't heard about it.
Lovie and Frazier will be grinning ear to ear if they can land Bailey. I will not be surprised if he slips a bit on draft day.
