2014 NFL Combine and Draft

I figured since the preliminary Draft order for the first 20 teams was released today, it would be a fine time to start this tab. That said, here are the first 20.
1. Texans
2. Rams (via Redskins)
3. Jaguars
4. Browns
5. Raiders
6. Falcons
7. Buccaneers
8. Vikings
9. Bills
10. Lions
11. Titans
12. Giants
13. Rams
14. Bears
15. Steelers
16. Cowboys/Ravens (coin-flip)
17. Cowboys/Ravens (coin-flip)
18. Jets
19. Dolphins
20. Cardinals

The Rams have already stated that they are willing to trade that #2 slot.

So, lets hear it folks, who do you want to go to your team?
I'd like to see Sammy Watkins (Clemson), Charles Simms (WVU) or Tre McBride (William & Mary) go to the Jets.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Jags drafting in the top 5 again. I am so depressed.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I take you don't like them? Or you do but are sad cause they played like crap?

Bingo. Also we suck at drafting.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

This looks like it is gonna be a pretty strong draft class though. I can't wait to find out who all is gonna be in for sure!

The Vikings need a QB, but I'm not sold on any of the QBs in this draft class. Like, at all. I'm from Louisville, so obviously Teddy Bridgewater is a big deal here. But he'll be gone long before Minnesota picks at #8.

Minnesota also needs a dominant every-down middle linebacker in the worst way.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

A.J. McCarron is pretty good as far as rookie QBs go. I will admit that I didn't see any of their late season games. ILB.... C.J. Mosley is the man to get in that category.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I was pretty impressed with UCFs Storm Johnson in last nights Fiesta Bowl.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Bit of off season news Jay Gruden was hired as head coach for the Redskins.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

The Cowboys...where do I start? Pretty much any defensive player we can find will be welcome. I honestly wouldn't mind if we spent every pick for our defense.

And Manziel is joining the draft. As is Tre Mason.

AND so is Timmy Jernigan from FSU. The dude is a BEAST!

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Mulling over some names, I wouldn't be upset if the Cowboys ended up with Louis Nix, Kony Ealy, or Kyle Van Noy.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

After reading that bit about Jernigan, I felt sure he would be on your list for the 'Boys, Justin.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Just read that Florida State WR Kelvin Benjamin has declaired as well.

To be honest, I just forgot about him. I'd like him. Or even C.J. Mosley from Bama.

I hope The Rams do trade the #2 pick.

Here is who they have received so far.

Rams seal second pick from Redskins

2012 Rams-Redskins Trade

Here are the players the Rams and Redskins have acquired with the picks they swapped in their 2012 blockbuster deal.*

Redskins received
QB Robert Griffin III

Rams received
DT Michael Brockers
CB Janoris Jenkins
RB Isaiah Pead
OG Rokevious Watkins (Previously with STL, Acquired by KC)
LB Alec Ogletree
RB Zac Stacy
WR Stedman Bailey
2014 No. 2 overall pick

* Note that Rams made other deals with picks acquired from Washington to add multiple pieces.

This maybe the most one sided trade since Herschel Walker.

Well he did have the game winning catch. But I would like to see him stay at least one more year.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Hope my Eagles draft an impact corner.

That would be nice. I always root for the Eagles...as long as they aren't playing my Jets

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Mostly my Jets need some power players for Geno to throw to. If he gets to start next season that is. Personally I think he did pretty well for his Rookie season as a second round pick.

Also, just like last year I will be posting the selections live.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Senior Bowl today! Who else is gonna be watching?

Also, has anyone else seen the list of AMAZING free agents!?

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Senior Bowl was fairly one sided as the South trounced the North. Game MVP Dee Ford (OLB/DE out of Auburn) had a great game which included a few sacks.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Super Bowl is this Sunday! Who is everyone betting on?! I got the Seahawks!!

I'd like to see Manning win but I have the feeling he'll come up short again in a need to win moment.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I look for Manning to retire sometime in the near future. That is all I keep hearing. Is how if Manning wins this game he will probably retire after this season. Who knows? LOL!

Unless his health is a problem I don't see Manning retiring for a while. With maybe the exception of 2004 this is the best year he's ever had, breaking the NFL record for TDs and passing yards in a season.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Now that the Super Bowl is over, Congratulations Seahawks, we now move forward to February 22. The combine.

Combine doesn't excite me. Wake me up when it's draft day.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I am more intrigued by the results of the combine than actually watching the combine.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Two of the best "combine" results were Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell. Enough said.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Well yeah. But it's not like the combine is completely useless. It's really important for guys that will be drafted in the middle to late rounds to show up and perform well. Which is why I care about the results.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I usually catch the one for the running backs and wide receivers. That is the one that I like the most.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

The fast two that I have seen this season.

Tre Mcbride

http://media.trb.com/media/photo/2012-08/71980254.jpg
Storm Johnson

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I would DEFINATELY love to see one of these two, if not both of them, in green and white!!

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Then there is this guy.
http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/b...06/6815714.jpg
NC Tight End Eric Ebron. He would look pretty good in the green and white too.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I'd like to see the Cowboys pick up Dustin Vaughan, West Texas A&M QB, as an undrafted free agent just so I could watch him play in the pre-season. He is a big guy at 6'5" and 230 lbs, he has a big arm, but other than that I don't know much about him.

He has the size and arm to get a spot on a roster and maybe eventually start somewhere, but I don't know much about his mobility, footwork, ability to read a defense, or accuracy. He is just really intriguing to me, because he will have a low price-tag and he is a Texas kid.

EDIT: I was doing some reading on him and it says he caught the eye of some scouts at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, so the undrafted free-agent thing might not even be a possibility. :(

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

So apparently Michael Sam of Missouri has come out as being gay, I am interested to see how, if at all, it effects his career.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Also saw that AJ McCarron and Derek Carr are both not sure if they are going to throw at the Combine.

Nobody gave a ***** in Missouri. Hopefully that continues. But that being said given recent events, Miami may not be the best place for him.

Apparently his draft stock is falling. His stock was already sliding because of his inconsistent performance at the senior bowl. It has slid more since his announcement yesterday, from 90-160 on the draft boards. As the media glare intensifies then he will become a distraction causing him to possibly slip completely out of the draft.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

That's very unfortunate. I guess that's how the world is as of right now.

I hope he turns out to be a big time steal for any team that decides to draft him.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I agree it is unfortunate for him but it is what it is. If he was smart he would have waited.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

It won't seriously hurt his draft stock. A team will be willing to pick him up, if only for the positive PR. Even with a less than stellar Senior Bowl, his production at Missouri shows he can play. I know that doesn't always translate to the NFL, but you always give a guy with production a chance. He will probably go somewhere between the third and fifth round. The Manti Te'o thing was a bigger deal than this, and his awful performance against Alabama was an even bigger deal, and the Chargers still drafted him. So I don't see this being a big deal in the long run.

I've also read that the commissioner could be "confidentially" pressuring GMs into picking Sam earlier rather than later to avoid any negative PR. He doesn't want the league to be accused of discrimination.

This is neat:

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

-Jadeveon Clowney says he should be the #1 over all pick. We'll see.

-Word is the Redskins are eyeing a trade into the first round. They are still paying for that jump in 2012 that got them RG3.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I think, unless he does something really bad at the combine, that Bridgewater has the first overall pick. Who knows though really.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Even though Clowney is the most talented, it will probably be a QB. Bridgewater, Bortles, or Manziel will probably come off the board first. It just depends on who the Texans fall in love with. I know a lot of people are worried about Manziel's "partying lifestyle" and think it could lead to a possible bust. Bridgewater isn't grading out as highly as some recent #1 overalls. Bortles could sneak into the top spot.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Can't disagree with you there. A QB will most likely be the first off the board. I think McCarron and Carr could possibly sneak up there too if they do well at their pro days, or the combine should they decide to throw.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

The amount of QBs that are unsure if they are throwing at the combine or not seems to be climbing, Blake Bortles doesn't know if he is or not. With the possibility of being the first overall pick I would think that all these QBs would be doing everything that they could to try to grab that first spot. It is being said that Bortles will need a good showing at the combine to decide if he will go in that first spot or not.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

CEO Joe Banner and GM Michael Lombardi are gone from Cleveland. Ray Farmer, formerly the teams assistant GM will be promoted to General Manager.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I am so glad I don't have to be a Browns fan. Can you imagine? My god, what a terribly run organization. It's really interesting listening to Mike Holmgren talk about the new owner and the conversations they had before Mike was basically kicked to the curb down there. Just wow. And how do you ever get rid of a guy named Lombardi? Even if the guy poops his pants every 5 minutes, you can't get rid of someone named Lombardi. You're just asking for trouble.

There is a first three round mock draft here http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/...t-bridgewater/. Kinda like how it looks for my Jets. It will be interesting to see who gets the closest in their mock.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Clowney is saying he will run a 4.4 or 4.5 40 at the combine. I can't wait to see him run. I already don't like this kid, he has an attitude issue.

If I am the Texans I don't think twice. Draft Clowney, sign Vick then draft a QB in a later round and see if you can strike gold with a Kaepernick or Wilson hell Brady was what a 6th rounder?

You team Clowney with Watt and you have a nightmare for everyone in the league. Even if Clowney has an effort problem, he is to talented to turn down. Maybe playing along side Watt will rub off him plus they can't double team both of them and expect to move the ball at all.

Then if you sign Vick you have at least proven QB who can win ball games and add excitement. Then you could always draft one later and stash him for a year.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Combine is coming next week! Who is everyone watching? I think I am going to try to catch some of the small school guys to watch like Tyler Starr.

Sunseri is rehabbing well.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

The draft this year runs from Thursday May 8 - Saturday May 10. I will be doing the live picks just like I did last year. If anyone else would like to join me for that I would love to have discussions in between picks. :) It is 82 days away. :)

But you do know what it's like to be a Browns fan, you're a Mariners fan!

How long have those clowns Chuck Armstrong and Howard Lincoln been running things? Hiroshi Yamauchi never went to a game!

Unfortunately, you can't fire owners!

A better question than that is, what good is the bench press statistic? If any player is lying flat on his back in the middle of the football field in the same position as when you bench-press, how good can he be in the first place?

Tim Green

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

That's a good point. I never understood it either really.

For instance Jared Allen got 13 reps at the combine...

http://www.muscleandfitness.com/site...allen_main.jpg

... and 128.5 quarterback sacks later.

I think the squat would be more appropriate. But I can imagine somebody blowing their knee or back out.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Darren Sharper charged with 7 counts of rape and 11 counts of drugging.

One would think that pro football players could get it without having to take it.....

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

A link to the findings of the Incognito/Martin case.
http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/doc...an-martin/803/

These cases are not about sex, it is about power.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Manziel has stated that he will not throw at the combine.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Looks like Carr and McCarron are following suit and will not be throwing either. Good time for the smaller school QBs to put on a good show at the combine.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Terrell Suggs signed a 4 year contract extension with the Ravens. That will make him old enough to retire at the end of his contract.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Jimmy Graham will file grievance if given the tight end franchise tag. There is a 4 something million dollar difference between the TE tag and the WR tag and he wants that money.

Can't say I blame the guy, he led the team in receptions for every position last season.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Dolphins fired Jim Turner and Kevin O'Neill after the Ted Wells report has come back. They were released yesterday.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Redskins are willing to trade Kirk Cousins for a second round pick.


Ha haha hahaha hahahaha hahahhahahahahahaha

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Cowboys won that coin flip. They will be selecting 16th overall in the draft and the Ravens will be 17th

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

AJ McCarron is going to throw at the combine this weekend.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Live Combine coverage begins on the NFL Network tomorrow morning at 9 AM Eastern

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Happy Combine Weekend Everyone! I am gonna start watching around noon.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Watching the O-Line run a 40 isn't really pretty.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I never figured out why they have the lines run the 40 anyway. Maybe a 10 or a 15.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Eric Ebron is a stud. Colt Lyerla could be a sleeper pick if he can stay out of trouble.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I am most excited about Ebron, I can't wait to see what team he heads to May 8th. AC Leonard has some good speed though, even if I don't care for him much as a person.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I am most interested to see what happens with Trey Burton. He had a weird career at Florida, I hope it stays as weird in the NFL.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

LOL! He is an interesting guy. I love watching all these kids come up and play though. It's all fun!

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Combine is over for the day. The good stuff will be tomorrow with the Running Backs, Wide Receivers and Quarter Backs. Starts at 9AM. I will have the DVR in full effect so I can go to church. LOL! I will give 40 times at the end of the workout tomorrow. I figured the 40 times for the O Line didn't matter, but if anyone wants them I can post them as well. :)

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

I'll not be posting anymore times because all the positions that actually makes a difference in have participated. The only groups left are LB and DL that go today and DE that go tomorrow.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Can't wait for Zombie Al Davis to draft this guy.

No doubt he will draft him three rounds too soon. But in fairness, I'd be wanting to draft Dri Archer too.

Hopefully a team with a good offense and a habit of playing nationally televised games will pick him up. I want to watch him play. I got to see him a play a few games at Kent State, he is an exciting player to watch.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Former NFL safety Darren Sharper surrendered to police after a New Orleans arrest warrant was issued. 2 more counts of aggravated rape in New Orleans. This coming after his charges in Los Angeles and he is under investigation in Las Vegas, Tempe Arizona and Miami Beach.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

There is growing support in the league that the play-off field should be expanded by two teams. Likely beginning in the 2015 season.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

So he likes to rape and travel.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Carolina Panthers used their franchise tag on DE Greg Hardy.
New York Jets used their franchise tag on K Nick Folk.
Seattle Seahawks released WR Sidney Rice and DE Red Bryant.
New England Patriots released S Steve Gregory.
Chicago Bears agreed to a one year contract with CB Kelvin Hayden.

Sounds like that is pretty much the extent of it.

I guess beer an a porno while traveling just isn't enough for some people. Oh well, people like him get killed on sight in prison. Both for being famous but ESPECIALLY for being a sex offender.

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

It always makes me smile when they get arrested. 1 because they are off the streets but mostly #2 where I know they are going to get beaten and raped in prison and feel some of the pain that they inflicted.

A twofer!

Re: 2014 NFL Combine and Draft
 

Not sure how I missed it last night but the New Orleans Saints gave their franchise tag to Jimmy Graham. Like we didn't all see that coming.
