That would be insane. I thought kind of the same thing the other day except Ameer Abdullah. I think those are two sleeper picks and would love to see the board implode if we went that path.


Abdullah has Packer written all over him. Think I'd rather have Walford than Williams.



I like Abdullah more than any back in this draft.

Would anyone be mad with Shane Ray even if he were to miss the first half of the season?


I would love Shane Ray if he's still there.

I heard a lot about him in the first 7 games he had 10 sacks, so I watched him in three games (Tennessee, Arkansas, and Bama) didn't see much outside of his attitude that got him kicked out of the SEC Championship game. I wouldn't be mad at the pick but would be very cautious.

Lmao at the Eagles potentially moving up now for Mariota. After all the circus moves they made in the off season, they finally may end up with Chip Kelly's son afterall...

Just saw something saying Goldman may make it to 30. Dream scenario for me.

If I am the Titans I gladly let the Eagles trade up to #1. Winston (for whatever reason) is more coveted than Mariotta. I then field trade offers for him better than what the Eagles offered for #2.

My feeling is neither of these QBs will amount to much and I wonder if the Buccs/Titans are starting to feel the same way.

Latest nfldraftcountdown mock has him falling to 55, with Jordan Phillips falling to our second round pick.

I was thinking the same thing today. That feels like a TT pick.

I just hope if they go CB they don't don't take Jalen Collins. I don't get that guy. He got the starting job at LSU two years in a row and then lost it two years in a row but he's a potential 1st round pick? Pass.

I'm pretty much at Rowe or Jones at CB or Kendricks at ILB. Don't know enough about other positions and I would be fine with a trade back.

Pros:
He's big
Good arm strength

Cons:
Just seemed like a guy that thrived on hucking it to superstars in college
Not very mobile
Obviously just makes all sorts of stupid decisions


Winston will be a very very good pro if his off the feild issues are over.

Hes big, has a strong arm, is accurate with said strong arm, ran a pro style offense, apparently aced the combine test where they read defense's, (heard his football IQ put both on par and above Luck) and has shown the ability to win in the clutch.

His cons are obviously the off the field issues but thats really the only big knock. He might not he Mariotta when it comes to running but he's athletic enough to scramble and avoid pressure. He can throw to many picks but to me thats on coaching to help him fix come the pros.

Ill take the QB that projects great from the POCKET any day. Mariotta to me has bust written all over him to me. I hate QBs that will struggle in the pocket and will have to run to be successfull. Plus common. Oregon QB. They allways bust

I also hate this dragged out crappy 4 day draft. Ridiculous. I like the old way so much better.
