Going to be an interesting draft.

Will Tampa take Winston #1 overall?

Will Tennessee take a QB with the 2nd pick?

Will Philly really make a move to move up to grab Mariota?

Should be an exciting 1st round...

I think the saints may take Gregory since he is sliding after that test

Winston #1 seems obvious. Gregory is also sliding after the combine weigh in. Can't see Dante Fowler going #3 but who knows. Just not a fan of his and there are at least 4 pass rushers, not including Leonard Williams, who imo are better prospects. Where does Mariota go? I don't think he is anywhere near as good as draft experts have told us, but too many teams need a qb in the first half of the draft. Worst case he goes 12th overall. Also seems likely Danny Shelton falls the 2nd half of the 1st rd. Tape doesn't match the hype and being only a 2 down player the value isn't there for a high 1st rd pick.

Dolphins draft 14. Would love to see someone like Vic Beasley drop. Not a fan of Trae Waynes that high. Marcus Peters by far is the best cb in this draft. Don't know much about what went on a UW but there is some concern.

Colts won't make a splash. I can see a 5 technique DE in 1st, maybe OL as in guard or center. Deep receiver draft so hopefully they take one as these days you need 2 or 3 unless you have Luck than you just need 1.5. Wouldn't be surprised to see them trade back which is easy to do at the end of the 1st.

Tampa just can't win with that 1st pick unless they trade back a few spots. Both of those qb's are not real. You want to hand your franchise to Winston? He couldn't handle Florida St with a much smaller playbook. He will be driving to Tallahassee every chance he gets with an unwilling slut in the front seat.

Why couldn't he handle more a much smaller playbook at FSU? Ran a larger playbook than Christian Ponder or EJ Manual who both went in the first round. Much better talent than either of those guys.

Pass rushing OLB at 6 for Jets.
Will be the missing piece to a dominating defense.
This all changes if one of the QBs falls to them.

As a Bucs fan I'm hoping most of us are wrong about Winston, but for the life of me I don't understand taking a guy with so many question marks with BOTH personal life & playing field.

Seems to me since players each & every year are a crap shoot, that if you have 2 guys in the argument, you roll the dice with the one who has far less question marks...

If I were the GM of Tampa or Tennessee, I trade the pick. Both Winston and Mariotta have bust written all over them for different reasons. Just not worth the risk.

I think there is no way Tennessee has that pick or player once it all shapes up. They think they have something in Mettenberger. Mariotta to the Jets has disaster written all over it. It's like they try to intentionally play without an NFL qb on their roster

I am guessing Chip is going to trade Bradford and picks to Jets or Browns as a way to move up IF possible.

Joke going around the Tampa area... (Don't judge me guys I'm just passing it along)


NFL Expert sees Bucs GM at Roulette Table in Tampa Hard Rock Casino.

Bucs GM asks NFL Expert "Do you have any tips?"

NFL Expert leans over and whispers in Bucs GM's ear....."Don't Bet On Black"

:ohno:

Vlad likes it. Go black with wr and rb, but why qb? The one position you need a brain and talent.

Yep likely scenario is Tennessee dealing that #2 overall...

Let's make sure all running backs are off the board when the colts pick. Give me a lineman, corner or safety.

I prob. prefer depending on how it shakes out, lineman, safety/corner, wr. as 1st three picks. Colts have whiffed on so many offensive lineman. And they will end up drafting 2 or 3.

Can we have a separate Draft Day thread for Vlad to talk to himself? Never seen someone so obsessed with black qbs in my life, haha.

I think Winston and Mariotta are two of the more polished qbs to come out in a long time and will have great success in the NFL. Think Tampa will have something with Winston and all those receivers.
