I assume it's realistic best case,

Get Mack/Robinson at #4 and TBW at #26. Second round pick we get Joel Bitonio, (pwn OG), a nice CB, a WR with 1st round talent like Odel Beckman (Though I'd rather wait til the 3rd), or Chris Borland. In the 3rd round we get a CB/WR is we didnt in the second and Sankey RB from Dayton with legit speed and catching ability.

Worst case for me would be going anything that isn't offense at 4.
2nd worst case would be taking Carr or Bortles at 4.

Best case would be getting Teddy and a receiver at 4 and 26 (not necessarily in that order). Preferably Evans or Matthews.

I was at a wedding with Chris Borland, yesterday. He told me he hasn't heard anything from the Browns since he met with them...TIFWIW. However, he has told teams he wants to stay in the midwest (he especially wants to go to Chicago) so we'll see what happens.

I bet you two made a lovely couple!!

Have to wonder how much contact teams have with players, or should I say, their agents at this point.
No one wants to tip their hand, and to be honest the agents probably are telling teams a bunch of lines to make their client seem more wanted.

Best: Clowney, Robinson and Watkins/Mack go 1-2-3. Create a bidding war with Minny and TB for JFF, which TB wins. Fleece them on some deal that includes the 7th pick, their 2nd rounder and next years 1st. Then, draft Bortles at 7 and Cody Latimer at 26.

Worst: Trade up and only get Watkins at 2.

Most likely (which I would be perfectly fine with): JFF at 4 and a WR opposite Gordon at 26, impossible to know who will be available, but I love Latimer.

Yeah I actually don't like Latimer in the first at all. Timed speed doesn't match his play speed. He's a 3rd round pick to me, but performed so well at the combine that he's being pushed up. #2 WR ceiling in the NFL to me.

Probably, but the guy catches everything. Really solid hands.

He only did the bench at the combine.

He is a big guy who gets seperation and makes the catch. Wont blow anyone away with a go route, but, as a #2, you need more of a guy who will be able to get that separation quick going across the middle on slants and outs etc. I think he would excel with Gordon on the other side. Moreso than someone like M. Lee who I have seen them projected to take.

Absolutely. It would be the kind of trade up that I would approve of. Not the 4th overall, along with 3 other picks, to move up ONE spot. #HeckertGotFleeced

I'd rather have Jordan Matthews than Latimer or Lee. And I'd rather have Latimer than Lee too.

He worked out at his pro day and ran a really fast 40 time.

I just think Latimer might have the best hands (of the guys who might still be around). Probably short-sighted, but after watching Little and Bess, I want nothing more than a #2 who wont drop the damn ball lol.

Yeah me either, little needs to be cut yesterday. I really like Torrence Allen from west Texas a&m. Rather him in the 5th (who I think is a better prospect) than latimer in the 1st/2nd.

3 first rounds picks would be the Bees Knees.

I'd take Robinson, TBW, and Bradley Roby.

You would really want Roby in the first?

I'd probably go with Dennard and I'm an OSU fan.

I dont think Dennard will be there. If he was, I'd take him. I just want a good CB at the end of the first or early 2nd. I'm not as low on Roby as a #2 as some people are. I think he could find his Jr year form, and working with Haden could help.


Gilbert > Dennard >Fuller> Roby > Verrett

I don't think I could trust him.

All the physical tools in the world, but those images of him getting roasted several times throughout the season are still in the back of my mind.


Oh yeah, and the whole passing out in his car while shitfaced thing...don't forget about that. Fucking moron.

Would love to get Jarvis Landry in the 3rd round for WR depth. Has some of the best hands I've seen in a receiver in a long time. Not a speedster, but would be a good compliment to Gordon.
