2014 NFL Draft

[Cman]

Predictions?

(1) Just for fun: J. Clowney is NOT taken first.

(2) Manziel is first QB taken

(3) Raiders trade into end of first round to select a QB.

List your predictions (serious or not).

Hope Greg Robinson makes it big. Guy has a pretty darn sad story.

[Birdman]

Geez I wish someone picks Johnny Manziel!!!! Tired of Chris Berman saying his name every time a team is up to pick

[Yoki_IsTheName]

They keep mentioning the Vincent Jackson - Mike Evans combo.

That's actually kind of terrifying, assuming Mike Evans pans out.

LOL well (maybe) 1/3 ain't bad.

Johnny Manziel to Cowboys?

#profit.

The Pats spent their #1 on a guy with two ACL injuries?

He sounds like a good fit position and talent wise, but the injury concerns have to be off the charts.

Really, really disruptive when he's on the field though.  I watch SEC football quite a bit, and I've seen more than I'd like to see of Easley (Vols fan).  It's definitely a gamble, but the potential reward is very high if they can keep him healthy.

0/3.... Oh well.


Today's predictions:

(1) Houston DOES NOT take a QB with the first pick of round #2

(2) The Pats go with offensive line in round 2 (not a big shocker, given it was DL in Rd 1)

While it's neither here nor there regarding his play/health, he's also a pretty good dude.

well, the Pats can really use some 'character' guys on that roster after the past couple of years.  As someone who's not a Pats fan but has a lot of respect for their player evaluations, I would have to believe they put this kid through his paces in medical evals and have to have a pretty high comfort level he's going to be just fine.

As a Redskins fan, I have to just shake my head in disgust watching my team with the second worst record not have the second pick in this draft.  there's no surefire all-pro at that spot but the team needs a major talent infusion that doesn't cost the arm-and-a-leg salaries they've been paying in free agency for poor play.

(1) Houston DOES NOT take a QB with the first pick of round #2

I agree with that.  Derek Carr is the best QB available, but that wouldn't be a good fit for anybody.

[BigAlTheFuture]

I know Texan fans would have loved Bridgewater with the 1st pick of the second round. Vikings ripped their hearts out by trading up to get him.

[Donoghus]

I don't know if any of these QBs are going to pan out well as starters.  Just not enamored with any of them.  Bortles at #3? Yikes.

Manziel is fun as heck to watch but I'm not sure he can establish himself as a bonafide starter over the long-term in the NFL. 

I actually think Bridgewater is probably the best QB here and I don't even know he'll be that good of a pro.  The whole Pro Day debacle was ridiculously overblown, IMO. 

5-10 years from now, I just don't really think people will look back at the 2014 draft as one of those great drafts not just for QBs but for all the talent here.

I think you're probably on the money with that assessment.  no one jumped out at me as a foundation-quality player for a team
