2014 NFL draft thread (no longer too early)

Maybe they just should have provided Johnny with one of those beer hats.

 

Love the Anthony Barr pick for the Vikings at No. 9. Ebron will be a stud tight end.

 

BTW ... Manziel is going to drop to the Cowboys now. Bank on it.

 

Is that beer he's drinking?

 

Is it possible there's too many quarterbacks available in this draft?
A lot of teams need one, but a lot of them might feel comfortable enough with the second tier of guys to pass up the ones on the first level, figuring they can go 2-for-1 and still get a good QB in the second round. If this continues much longer, there's going to be some ridiculous steals in the second round -- or some desperate trades as these teams try to move back into the first round later tonight to get their guy before the run starts.

 

Agreed. Evans is a stud. Manziel wouldn't have put up such big numbers if Evans wasn't there to catch all those passes.

 

ESPN folks are panning the pick. I have faith in Zimmer with linebackers, though.

 

If there's no trade, the next five teams have QBs: Locker-EManning-Bradford-Cutler-Roethlisberger.

 

He has some big downsides, one of which is the same as Robert Griffin's -- he gets hit hard. A lot.

 

batman,

I just think the QBs that are available are not franchise players. They're reaches: Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford types. They'll get picked later in the first round or second round. It's possible Derek Carr might go before Bridgewater or Manziel.

I really did expect Cleveland to take a quarterback. Maybe they think their guy will still be available with their later first-round pick.
