Tyler wilson not even in the top 5?

I am amazed that Lattimore can even walk after his injuries.

i was really surprised too ... he must of really looked bad senior week.

Dude is practically bionic at this point.

isn't gilleslie going into the draft? he should be top 5

really hurt geno skipping the senior bowl

You watch Mayock will be slurping that Penii before the draft.

DJ Swearinger>Zeke Motta

Logan Ryan>Desmond Trufant

Agree with both, especially DJ.

Nuke Hopkins > Williams, Austin, Patton

And Landry being in the top 5 is a joke.

Zeke Motta......do not want.

Did it?

McDonough from Iowa State could be a nice late round DE, probably a better fit for Crennels scheme or a 4-3 DT though. Great size, 1st team all Big12, and will put up at least 40 on the bench in his Pro Day. Former DE.

There's a reason Mayock is on TV these days...

Hes mooooore machine than man now

because he guess almost every damn pick come draft day? Once his board drops evryone elses change.

Watch the NFL network during the draft and look at him get the picks right more then wrong in the first round.

Hes the best media guy their is for this.

I'm a big Mayock fan, but I've definitely noticed that as he gets more gigs/gets busier, the rankings seem to be more "consensus." I could be totally wrong, but I don't think it's crazy to assume he hasn't had nearly as much time to watch college film w/ his Thursday Night Football gig that is now every week of the season.

If Landry Jones really is better than Bray and Wilson then God help them update their resumes.

Mayock is the only guy i really listen to in regards to the mainstream guys. Geno number 1. Thats right. After the combine he'll be number 1

Yeah I have a hard time believing Wilson is below Landry Jones.

Would love to see
1. QB Geno Smith
2. WR Corradelle Patterson
3. RB Montee Ball


Wana build up our offense

Neither would I...Corrdarrelle isn't going to be there in round 2 though.

I'd been hoping his inexperience would push him down to our pick, but that's looking less and less likely.

lol...**** yeah. "I really...mmm...slurp...am loving....nom nom nom...what Smith....gobble-gobble...is doing with his deep balls on this series".

It's real easy to call picks off right before they are made. It's a lot harder to do it before all at once when you don't know the flow. During you can correct your mocks.

Likely not but remember there are guys that you wouldnt think would slip that slip. We'll see

anyone know anything about Vaccarro?

Mayock always likes to make controversial choices early on in his Top 5 lists. It will more aligned with reality closer to the draft.

Would be nice if we could pick up Lattimore later in the draft. I know he's had his issues with injuries, but he'd be a great pair with Jamaal, and is a good guy that I will root for. Plus, he's basically a cyborg from the waist down with the surgeries.

Ya lattimore with our 4th rd pick. Hell be ready by camp

Matt Elam needs to be #1. And Sherrif Floyd my negro! I spelled it Sherrif on purpose tards! Glad Bray isn't anywhere near the top 5 or top 8 I hope.

Man, what a shit draft class.

This draft reminds me of the '09 draft class.

My QB Rankings:
1. Geno Smith WVU
2. Tyler Wilson ARK
3. E J Manuel FSU
4. Matt Barkley USC
5. Tyler Bray TEN
6. Mike Glennon NCS

I did 6. I like Bray's ability. I want to see how he does at the combine and on his testing. I heard someone from today maybe McShay who said Bray has the most ability of any of the QBs

Once coin finds path to his palm he'll change it again.

Clark will need to hire a mechanic to be on the sideline if we draft Lattimore.

I just hope there are no brake lines in there, I obviously am clueless in that department

You know any good ones? I'm sure he could hire the best

Supposedly we have some Asian dude around here that can fix em up.

I think it will end up much better than people think.

There are no true "blue chip" players but what would be a normal low 1st round pick (as far as talent/upside) extends way into the low 2nd/early 3rd.

I'll take him at number 34 and laugh after taking Geno at #1

Lol

Yep.

It's light (REALLY light actually) at the top but it's one of the deeper classes I can remember.
