Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Interesting graph to start it off. Per 247, NFL First Round Draft Pick and Pro Bowl Selections by school since 2004 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 This might be one of the crazier drafts I can remember. QBs always get selected too high - not all QBs, just QBs in general - and the guy who some say is the best player in the draft (Bridgewater) other say might not go until round 2. I personally think he's over-rated and Louisville gets way too much credit for winning one game - the Sugar Bowl over Florida - that many people ignore all the other games they lost and didn't play very well. I also think Clowney is over-rated. He's an athletic freak but he doesn't have the drive to be great. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 4m I see some mocks that have Taylor Lewan going to the Raiders. He'd look good twisting facemasks in the silver and black. Quote Link to comment

Hard evidence for something I have thought to be true. I really liked the production models for rookie vs. free agent value. Quote Link to comment

wiuhusker Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Walterfootball.com has SJB going in the 3rd round to the Lions and Spencer Long going in the 7th to San Francisco. Didn't catch whose mock draft it was but i saw scrolling across the bottom that one of the ESPN clowns had Stanley going 31st to the Broncos. That's the one team I don't want him to go to.

The Dude Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Rotoworld Football @Rotoworld_FB 2h Report: Manziel No. 1 player on Cowboys board http://dlvr.it/5cHyVR Ya' know, I think part of the reason Dez hasn't been a total train wreck is because he's had guys like Romo and Witten to kinda try to guide him. Can you imagine Manziel being his QB? Holy f'ing sh#t. Quote Link to comment
