THe Official 2014 Draft Thread [No Spoilers]

That's kind of how I feel. I always had Dennard as a bottom of the 1st prospect who will need to figure out how to keep his hands off of receivers after 5 yards. I think he's a good player, but if the NFL take away from what has made him a good college player, he's going to have a tough time. I'm very glad we didn't reach on him just because we need help at corner.

 

Finally got to read through this thread. Truly entertaining

I get the anger on passing on a CB. Fact is, more than half of the mock drafts had us taking Dennard. So I can see why alot of people wanted us to take him. That being said, in my eyes, he didn't fit us schematically. And to be honest I didn't see him as a Top 15 talent, all be it not too far, think I had him at #17.

I'm just hoping that the same backlash doesn't occur after pick #46 if we pass on a CB again, because I am fully expecting it. Other than Stanley Jean Baptiste (who I am still not fully on board yet) the value is not there to take a CB at #46. I'm not enamoured with the Florida kids, and I see Joyner as more of a S than a CB. Some of the CBs I like for Round 3 may go in Round 2, and who knows, maybe they will be great, but I don't like the idea of jumping the gun and taking them at #46.

Between the bevy or WRs, the Notre Dame boys on DL, Hageman, ASJ & Niklas at TE, some OL guys like Kouandjio, Yankey Su'a-Filo & Moses, and OLBs like Van Noy & Attaochu. There is a tonne of talent left on the board. IMO, just not the place to force a CB need.

 

Yeah Watkins vs Ebron + a #1 pick in 2015. I don't like the move Buffalo pulled but I heard alot of good arguments tonight on why the Buffalo GM and coach may have done it. With a new owner coming in the future, he may want to clean house. The current Buffalo staff wanted to give that owner around to keep him and a good record was the best way to do it.

That being said, Buffalo now has a WR corps of Sammy Watkins, Stevie Johnson, Mike Williams & Robert Woods. They have a pretty gold OL and CJ Spiller in the backfield. They have given EJ Manuel everything possible to work with. Time for him to step up.

 

The problem is... their haul of picks usually starts by being in the top 5 for stinking, and then either trading out of the pick or trading away the guy that they got in the first round the year prior. I'd rather not suffer the chain of events that leads to them getting their haul.

 

They probably used their SpyGate gear to get some compromising pictures of Panthers' brass.

 

a quick penetrating 3 technique with 2 bad knees .

I don't mind Easley but wow I didn't expect him to go to the Pats in Round 1.

 

15 more minutes!

 

I was surprised he made it out of the first. Screw you Houston.

 

Probably Demarcus Lawrence here.

 

A little surprising the Browns are taking Bitoniio over a WR here.
