If Al Davis was still around, DGB would be a lock for the Raiders

Also regarding Bowles, I get the feeling he's the Rooney Rule bitch for this offseason

I would love to see it... But it all depends on free agency...

Pass Rush is just as big of a need as weapons for Carr is...

We have somewhere between 50-70M in cap space this FA... If we could bring in a Suh or a JPP then that would allow us to go Cooper at 4....

But it could end up we go Demaryius Thomas or Dez Bryant if they aren't resigned or franchised tagged... Then we draft Leonard Williams or Randy Gregory at 4.

We need to sort out the coach first and foremost... Because if we end up with some of the f**king names I've heard we've interviewed... We ain't going to attract top free agents with ducking Eric Mangini as head coach....

Looking out at the moment... Considering we haven't shown any interest in Rex Ryan... A dream situation for me would be to sign Tod Bowles as HC... Then make FA plays at Suh, JPP, Revis & a WR... Then draft Cooper at 4

with that kind of money you should sign up Suh, Greg Hardy, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Josh Gordon. you'll never get them on the field at the same time but the media shit storm would be worth it.

OT Andrus Peat from Stanford declared for the draft today, he's another first round OT I like, really strong guy, not a road grader but really good in pass protection.

I think his only real shot is Chi-town. He'd fit them like a glove, if he doesnt get that job, i think he's going to strike out elsewhere.

Yeah it's a nice draft for OL, pretty deep OT class

I agree on the good OL class, but not on Ogbuehi I see him mid to late 1st round at best

plenty of talented OL in the draft

OT
Andrus Peat OT Stanford
Brandon Scherff OT Iowa
Cedric Ogbuehi OT Texas A&M
Ereck Flowers OT Miami
Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame
La'el Collins OT/G LSU
Tyler Sambrailo OT Colorado State
T.J. Clemmings OT Pittsburgh
Cameron Erving OT Florida State

all potential 1st rounders, rest is decent too, a guy I like later on is Jake Fisher from Oregon

G
A.J. Cann G South Carolina
Tre Jackson G Florida State
Laken Tomlinson G Duke
Josue Matias G Florida State

some talented guys I like

C
Hroniss Grasu C Oregon
Reese Dismukes C Auburn

two guys I really like for the Broncos in round 2-3

The RB class is much more than just the top 2 very good depth this year

Apart from the top 2 you still have

T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama
Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
Mike Davis, RB, South Carolina
Duke Johnson, RB, Miami
Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State

All very talented & can help a team out next year, & still some talent left in the late rounds like David Cobb from Minnesota


At WR my top guys are

1. Amari Cooper
2. Devante Parker
3. Kevin White
4. Jaelen Strong

There is a drop off after the top 4 imo

Other guys that I rate as sleeper prospects are

Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State
Justin Hardy, WR, East Carolina
Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke

My early round guys to avoid are

Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford
D'haquille "Duke" Williams, WR, Auburn
Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan

Tom,

Good stuff man, I'm gonna keep the write ups coming also

What are your thought on DGB solely on his on the field potential?

I totally agree on your WRs to avoid, particularly Coates and Funchess.

You stole my WR sleepers haha, I think Smith will be a 3rd rounder at worst when it's all said and done given the recent success of deep ball specialists like John Brown

I do like Mike Davis a fair bit

My concerns with Kevin White are whether he can actually be a deep threat in the pros, looks more like a possession receiver to me

This draft is loaded at DL, been watching stuff on Malcolm Brown today, another guy with first round potential that I like

Beckham talent wise, is one of the best ive ever seen, if he gets the off the field stuff sorted out, he will have a TO, Andre Johnson, Marvin Harrison style Career.

I agree and look at that size, 6'6 is heaven in the redzone

Sort of has a bit of Moss about him, as to regards of the off field stuff, or i guess at the moment Josh Gordon.

A small Rumor going around is that Winston wants to go back for another year.

me too

haven't really seen enough to judge DGB yet

yeah they just never impressed me much in the many times ive seen them

great minds lol, out of those my favourites would have to be Greene/Lockett/Smith

I am a big fan of Ameer Abdullah

I think Hardy is a WR to keep an eye on, he'll make plays as a pro

DGB career is going to be defined by who drafts him. He could be a HOF if the right team, with the right coaching staff drafts him, or he'll wash out in 2-3 years

the measurables and talent are off the charts. Someone's going to take a flier on him earlier than most expect for that alone.

If he is available anywhere between 25-32 for the Cowboys, Broncos, GB, NE, SEA, IND then they should all pull the trigger.
