NFL Draft
Became a little more interesting today with the Jets officially committing to rebuilding and scooping up Tampa's 1st round pick for their recovering injured star cornerback.
Does anyone have any strong takes on players they've seen in this draft at the college level? Mel Kiper says the guard from North Carolina is as high rated as anyone at that position that he's had in 20 years. The guard from Alabama though, he is a friggen bulldozer and the Alabama running game has been ridiculous while he's been there. Whoever drafts that guard from Alabama...I am getting their running back in fantasy football. To me, drafting him in the early to middle first round says 1.) we are committed to running the football this upcoming season. And 2.) the offensive line is immediately upgraded from a run blocking standpoint.

the Bama G, Chance Wormack, had the nasty streak on the Bama OL. whoever takes him my have to stay after his conditioning and watch his weight. IMO, Barret Jones the Bama C, will be a later round steal. he runs well, is technically sound and intelligent. Lacey the RB can catch, block and understands the game plans. has battled turf-toe and an occasional fumble.

Jets will pick Warmack or Cooper at 13, or even at 9 if they're concerned one won't fall to 13.
There are a couple of late 1st/early 2nd players I like. Tyler Eifert, Matt Elam and Gio Bernard are a few.

I was hoping the Browns would get Warmack ... but they said Cooper would be a much better fit in the new system because Chud/Norv Turner like athletic guards who can get outside and are excellent on screens.
Warmack isn't an especially strong pass blocker like Cooper and he's not especially athletic for screens like Cooper is ... but I'd rather have the guy who owns the line of scrimmage. Some say Cooper is that kind of guy as well, but this Warmack guy has made good running backs famous and he's made famous inside linebackers look freaking terrible. To me, if you want to run the football and help your qb out with easier throws in the short play-action passing game...Warmack sounds like the most impactful player in this entire draft.

Wormack is the best guard to come out of Alabama since Hog Hannah. Pats are trading up to get him.

Of the Quarterbacks I watched on Youtube ... Ryan Nassib of Syracuse is the best one.
He was surrounded by extremely mediocre pass catchers -- they dropped about 10 passes in the USC game alone -- and the offensive line at Syracuse was mediocre, especially up the middle. The USC game was comical, they made the center and guards at Syracuse look like three turnstiles. Geno Smith throws all short passes -- and he has two absolutely killer wonder midgets catching his screens in Tavon Austin and Bailey. The O-line at West Virginia looked pretty good, but it's hard to tell because they only had to block for 0.87 seconds before Geno got rid of one of his typical 5 yard passes.

I'm high on DJ Hayden, the corner from Houston, and DeAndre Hopkins, the wideout from Clemson. Both will be solid players imo. Hopefully the Birds get it right and trade down to accrue more picks. For what the draft lacks in star power, it surely makes up for in depth.

What do the fans do ?
as a Patriot fan, I applaud Buffalo for using that number 1 pick so foolishly. Are they sure that they realize they drafted a warm weather marginal backup ?

Anyone ever hear of a center coming out his junior year because he graduated with a degree in computer engineering? And was a 1rst round pick?
This kid is one of a kind!

Frederick became the first offensive lineman in Badgers history to start as a true freshman in 2009 when he played center against Northern Illinois. Besides his solid all-around play, he earned that start because no one on the field, let alone the nation, has a stronger lower body than Frederick. Frederick broke Chris Pressley’s school record by posting a 770-pound squat. In addition, Fredrick’s upper body is almost as equally strong; he can bench around 500 pounds. (In his sophmore year) After redshirting after his freshman year in 2010, Frederick looks to get back right where he started for the 2011 campaign.
