2014 NFL draft thread (no longer too early)

Re: (Way too early) 2014 NFL draft thread

I thought all four were obvious, but oop is right, most casual fans won't know who the fourth is.

Name the two USFL coaches who are in the HOF. One actually followed the other as coach on the same USFL team.

Marv Levy and George Allen

George Allen and ??????

 

Re: (Way too early) 2014 NFL draft thread

That's easy. George Allen and Marv Levy.

I still can't think of the fourth player, though.

 

Re: (Way too early) 2014 NFL draft thread

I cheated and looked up the other player. Not quite smacking myself on the head and saying "D'oh!" but I probably should have known it.

I think Bridgewater might be the best QB right away. Five years down the road? I dunno. Bridgewater has played more than Manziel or Bortles so might be further developed right now.

Honestly, I think how a guy develops has as much to do with what team he goes to, the system he is in and the coaching he gets as it does the player himself.

I've read in a couple places that the Texans are asking for two first-round picks (this year and next year) and a No. 2 and a No. 4 (from this year) for the No. 1 pick.

I say no way does he get anything close to that unless it's from a team picking at the bottom half of the first round. That's more than what the Giants gave up to swap Rivers for Eli.

Sounds like a trade that Hollywood would dream up.

Was it Gary Zimmerman? IIRC, he was a teammate of Young's with the Los Angeles Express.

I was hoping Mike Evans would fall to the Bills, but the mocks I've seen lately have him going earlier to Tampa Bay. Been interesting to see the Mack kid's stock climb.

 

Re: (Way too early) 2014 NFL draft thread

Yes, it was Zimmerman.

 

Re: (Way too early) 2014 NFL draft thread

He would be a luxury pick for the Bucs, I suppose, with all their needs, but I would much prefer that they pick Mack. He is the best player I saw last year, though I admittedly didn't see that much of him. He was the best player on the field in the games I did catch.
