Re: 2014 NFL Draft

i am going to make a prediction here that 1 QB Bridge water will be drafted in the top ten. in all likelihood the remaining 2 of the three top QB will be on the board when we pick. they just do not test out as well as the rest of the draft. media hype based on team needs. i think teams in need will be happy to wait till the second round to reach on a QB. cleveland at 26 may take Blake Bortles but would they?

manzel will probably be there at the top of round 2 along with Derek Carr who i think will be a better pro as well as Jimmy Garoppolo.

A.J. McCarron and Zach Mettenberger are third round talent? i just am not seeing it.

i think the draft class for QB is solid but :
first round? no.
second round? yes.
The green room maybe the saddest room yet again on draft day. each of the teams in the top have been burned in recent years by reaching on QBs in the first so the wounds are fresh. so they may not make the mistake twice.

Blake Bortles at 27 to sit and back up drew as he learns the system? now that would make for an interesting day here at B&G. do not worry i do think that will happen and i hope it does not because i have him as the 4th best QB in the draft tied with Carr. if it does i will be leading the charge but the saints and indi both have aging QBs so if the BPA is a QB why not.

So i see a lot of the talent we think may fall to us or be within our reach in the first are going to be gone earlier than we think. now in the second is where it would help us out greatly. second round i see 3 maybe 4 QB being taken.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

If manziel is available we need to take him ... Drew will age ... And having him learn from the best short QB ever would ensure the recent success of New Orleans football is here for the long haul ... The next 2 decades of championship contention sounds like a worthy investment

Manziel?!? Way too much risk and we've got too many holes on the offensive line and the back half of the defense to waste a pick...

And if anyone has a jeweler's cloth to polish a diamond like Ryan Griffin, it's Sean Payton, and it'll make you proud when he shines after the realization that Drew can't throw a 50 yard-in-the-air strike effectively anymore...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

The Miami Dolphins are looking to trade Dion Jordan for a 1st round pick in order to try to rebuild their O-Line... So here's a question: Will there be a better prospect available when we pick 27th than Dion Jordan? The guy was the Anthony Barr of last years draft and the Dolphins miscast him as a 4-3 DE. Something to seriously consider.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Dion Jordan ??? over hyped and over drafted much like Ingram was. If they take a third for him it is possible

Dion Jordan, DE for the Miami Dolphins at NFL.com

stats prove it. dolphins bought in hook line and sinker and traded away two #1 to get the kid. sound familiar?

unless you really think it was truly the scheme and playing for the dolphins was the core of issue.

Didn't like him then either; he's a classic case of why you must factor in the "measurables" of height, weight, drills - he was too small a player for his position to be drafted that high...

Also, Colt Lyerla (TE from Oregon) may honestly be the most talented TE in the draft. He has MAJOR off the field issues though.. But if he straightens up he will be an absolute steal.
