It's finally here!  The extra couple weeks has felt like forever.

 

So who's your team gonna get?

 

I'm hoping the Eagles land Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, because it is the most awesome football name ever.

Not sure what I am hoping for.  Originally, it was a WR.  I hope the Jets don't trade up for Beckam.  Its a deep WR draft, take what comes to you.

 

Ideally, I'd like them to get Ebron (but he won't fall to 18).  But, I'd be fine with the Jets taking a CB or Safety...but not REACH for one.  Maybe Dennard.

 

I think I'd go this order:

1)  Ebron

2)  Dennard

3)  WR (whichever falls...Beckam, Cooks, Lee)

4)  CB (Gilbert, maybe Fuller)

5)  Safety (Ha-Ha or Pryor)

I would love to see Marquise Lee fall to the Bengals, but I'm afraid they wouldn't even draft him and go defense. But man it would be fun to watch Green and Lee on each side of the formation. If Andy Dalton can't win with that plus Gio in the backfield, he needs to go home.

I just read the Browns are trying to trade up from 26 to ensure they get Bridgewater.

I know there are no sure things in life, but I hope they take a player that is not risky at number 4.  Who knows what Manziel will do.  He could be the next big thing or he could be one big flop.  Watkins and Gordon would be nice.

I'm reading they are taking either Robinson or Watkins at 4, and trying to get Bridgewater with their 2nd 1st rder.

They are also supposedly eyeing Carlos Hyde pretty hard for their 2nd rd pick.

I think the first interesting pick will be Cleveland at 1.4 choosing between Manziel and Sammy Watkins.

 

Providing the top three teams don't trade, my guesses are

 

1) Houston-->Clowney

2) St Louis-->Greg Robinson

3) Jacksonville-->Kahlil Mack

 

If the Browns do go with Sammy Watkins as I think they will, watch the qbs drop.

 

Minnesota would probably settle for Manziel.

 

My guess is if the Browns pass on a quarterback, Bridgewater will drop way down in round one and BGG won't be far off on his guess with the

Browns taking him with their second pick. But if the Browns take a qb at 1.4, teams will panic and follow suit.

I agree with you...mostly.  If Minnesota gets Manziel...it would not be "settling"...they should be ecstatic.  Not just that he is a talent, but also that they did not make an abysmal selection.

This is the area were someone will try to trade up for a QB.

Another trade with the Packers at 21...llike the Brady Quinn trade.

There is no one that the Packers have to have at 21.

Thompson lives to trade down.

 

If CJ Mosley fell to 21, the Packers would snag him, but he won't fall

 

I have seen Ryan Shazier to the Packers but that would be a reach.

I don't think anyone has a handle on where the qbs will go. The experts are all over the board

 

I hear David Carr's stock is rising and he may be one of the top 3 qbs drafted.

 

A month ago Bortles was in a mock at #1 overall. Now I see him falling to Tampa Bay.

 

Bridgewater could be the #1 qb drafted or the 4th.

 

The qbs just seem to be a crap shoot in this draft

I was kind of hoping the Jets go defense at #18 and then trade up to #21 if Cooks or Lee is still available.  Price is, probably, too high though.

I was reading Shazier to the Dolphins at 19.

I just don't see Thompson standing pat.

DT Louis Nix is a name I've heard mentioned alot.

But the 2nd and 3rd rd is going to have some great talent.

Trading down makes a lot of sense to me versus taking Nix at 21.

I saw Carr as high as 5 to the Raiders somewhere.

I agree with Razor though, if Cleveland shuns the qb at 4, then the slide begins.  I think Cleveland goes O-Line or WR.  I wouldn't mind Hyde in the second, but think they will get a DB to play across from Hayden.
