Can you draft better than me for the Falcons?

Sam won't be available in round 2.

Swanson won't be available in round 3.


Jake is a wasted pick at #6.

6 Mike Evans
37 Michael Sam
68 Ju'Wuan James OT Tenn
99 Aaron MF Murray


I don't know which link to use to make it post here like yall did so I just listed them.

Houston owner already talking about moving back for more picks. Maybe Tampa trades 7th pick (plus others) or Minnesota trades the 8th pick (plus others) to move up to 1 for Bridgewater. Houston could still get Bortles, Hundley, Manziel, McCarron, or Carr at 7 or 8. There's very little difference between them all.

Rams sticking with Bradford and taking Jake Matthews to sure up the OL since a couple starters went on IR at end of season.

After this, Jacksonville and Cleveland both pick QB's. JAX likely takes Manziel, Cleveland has already shown interest in Carr.

Now as much as Oakland needs a DE, we're talking about the Oakland Raiders. First of all, their a 3-4 defense and Clowney is not by any stretch a 3-4 OLB capable of dropping back in to coverage, and he's not at all a 3-4 DT who rushes from the B/C gap between an OG and OT. He's a 4-3 edge rusher, period. And Oakland is going to take Sammy Watkins, because picking offense in round 1 is just what Oakland does.

This means we get Clowney. And if we don't get Clowney, we get OLB Anthony Barr. And if we get neither of those, that means OL Jake Matthews is still there. There's still a chance Rams and Raiders take Barr or Clowney.

3 QB's are going in the first 5 picks either way, which means one of those 3 guys, Clowney, Barr, or Matthews, will be there for us at 6. Hell, Raiders may see the run on QBs and take one too.

And if by some crazy chance they're all gone, we could then trade back a few with like Minn, Buffalo, or Arizona who might want to jump ahead of 7 and 8 to grab a specific QB they like. Because Houston and Buffalo are surely getting a QB, and Tampa likely is too. If all of these teams get QB's, that's 5 QB's gone in first 10 picks. At 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8. Buffalo at 9 wouldn't cost them much to move up 3 spots. Arizona at 20 would cost them their 20th pick, their 2nd and 4th rounders, and likely a 2nd round pick in 2015.

This is the one I would love to do because we could still get DE Trent Murphy (JJ Watt clone) at 20 and then have picks at 2-38, 2-52, 3-70, 4-102, 4-117 to address OL, DT, and OLB.

All that said, my guess is Clowney is still going to be there at 6. I think 3 QB's go before us, Rams take Matthews, and Oakland takes Watkins or Barr. If that's the case, then we don't trade back, and here's my draft:

1-6: DE J. Clowney - SCar
2-37: OL A. Richardson - Tenn
3-68: DT Timmy Jernigan - FSU
4-99: OLB Dee Ford - Aub
5-135?: OG Trey Jackson -FSU
6-166?: OC Bryan Stork - FSU
7-198?: RB Storm Johnson - UCF

As you can see, not sure what our picks will be after 4th round once compensatory picks get handed out. And don't know if we have any comp picks coming to us. If we do, we'll likely toss a QB in there somewhere.

As you can see, I went with the FSU connection at center and guard. These are 2 guys that have played next to each other for 3 straight years and I think that's important. I also think Antonio Richardson is the 2nd best OL in this draft next to Matthews, so getting him in the 2nd would be great. Most don't have him rated that high.
