Wishlist?

First I hope we can trade down. This draft is deep, and not having a 2nd rounder hurts. But this list isn't just first rd people.

QB
Johnny Manziel
Aaron Murray
Tom Savage (I mean c'mon he has a QB's name)

RB
Dri Archer
Henry Josey

WR
Marquis Lee
Odell Beckham Jr.
Brandin Cooks

DEFENSE
HaHa Clinton-Dix (what kind of ****ing name is this?)
Stephen Tuitt
EJ Gaines
Jimmy Ward

i guess i should add QB as well...but i don't really believe it is an option

I'm adding a section to my list.

Players I hope we have a chance to draft:
Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
Odell Beckham, WR, LSU
Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville

Players I'd be fine with if we drafted:
Kyle Van Noy, ILB/OLB, BYU
Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois
Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
Marquis Lee, WR, USC
Dee Ford, OLB/DE, Auburn

Beckham
Ward
Cooks
Van Noy
Ebron
Donald
Lee

There is sooo much talent in this draft, id be surprised if im upset with the pick. I think the only way that happens is if they take an olinemen. Id also be happy with a qb, this crop hasnt exactly excited me though. But id be happy to develop a 1st rounder of our own behind Smith. Otherwise id love Murray in the 3rd.

My interest waned through much of March and April, but now that it is almost upon us, I interest has risen.

I agree.

The May draft is just awful.

Assuming guys like Dennard, Barr, and Pryor are off the board and that we don't pick a QB, here are the top guys I want. If we pick any of them, I'll be pretty satisfied

1. Cooks
2. Beckham
3. Ward
4. Ealy
5. Van Noy
6. Matthews
7. Latimer
8. ASJ

1. Trade down and pick up a 2nd round pick.
2. Marquis Lee (I think horrible QB's/injury really lowered his stock...guy's a stud.)
3. Brandin Cooks (Playmaker)
4. Dee Ford (Pass rushing is so important, will need to replace Hali at some point.)
5. Johnny Manziel (Why the hell not? No way he falls to us, but that would be crazy.)

What do people see in Ealy? I probably didn't watch him as much as some so im legitimately asking. Do people think he has the ability to cover as a 34 outside linebacker? Or is he more of a luxuary pure pass rusher pick? From what ive seen, im just not that impressed and see him as more of a 43 end..

I haven't watched much of him either, but I'm guessing he's the Hali type who really wouldn't be utilized in coverage all that often.

God no. Give me Attaochu over Ford any day of the week and especially on Sunday.

What's your reason for that?

He likes saying the name

Attaochu had vastly superior production in college in both Tackles, Tackles for Losses, and Sacks.

He has better length and more versatility in his game. He has a higher ceiling than Ford as well.

The only thing that Ford has over Attaochu is the fact that Ford is more technically sound and developed at this point in his career while Attaochu is pretty raw in that respect. And yet:

Attaochu stats (4years): 196 tackles, 43.5 TFL, 31.5 sacks

Ford stats (5years): 93 tackles, 27.5 TFL, 20.5 sacks

Huge difference in production between the two.

Exactly.

Ealy could lineup virtually anywhere on the line and be effective, from outside the tackle all the way to the DT in dime subs.
