    i think after his pro day everyone has clowney going first. i think the rams WILL take an OL (how many more hits can bradford take)? that leaves mack, bortles, bridgewater, manziel or watkins to be taken at 3. so erase one of those names. if we do take a QB i hope it IS bortles.

    the nightmare scenario for me is if someone trades up in front of us and takes the guy farmer wants and leaves us with no trade down partner and he has to 'settle' for a guy.

    We need a QB, #2WR, #2CB and an OG.

    @4 - Derek Carr(he will be a franchise QB)

    @26 - Take Dennard or Gilbert if they fall, maybe even Pryor. If none are left go for the WR in Kelvin Benjamin or the OG in Yankey.

    2nd Round - what about a Tre Mason or Carlos Hyde here?

    3rd Round - take Stanley Jean-Baptise, a large CB capable of covering taller receivers.

    Chris Borland could be a good ILB, maybe take a chance on him.

    That would take care of QB, WR/OG, RB, CB and MLB. Then in the fourth we've gotta take one of those FBs coming out.

    derek carr should be there @26 if we want him and no way do dennard or gilbert slip that far. we also don't need one of the top RBs in this draft after signing tate. we MIGHT draft one in one of the last 2 rounds.

    Stanley Jean-Baptiste will not make it to the third round, mark it down.

    You may actually be right about that second rounder brother! I was looking up some info on him and the guy is nearly 6'3 and has a 41 inch vertical. His speed is just good at 4.6 - 40. I would think that maybe he could be the next Ed Reed type player if moved to Free Safety. Ha! Imagine, Hitner and the Baptist putting the WRs to sleep...

    I like Baptiste as a beast FS type player. Of course, Pettine said that the safeties in our new system are kinda different in that they aren't the typical FS/SS combo. I think a player with the Physicality of SJB and his insane vertical makes him ideal in covering the taller TEs and WRs that are around now.

    I would think he'd be worth it in the second. We could always trade our extra third and a fourth rounder to move back into the second. We have a low third and then we have Pitts third rounder as well.

    He'll likely be a solid CB as well, do you think that he could be a legit number 2 CB? If so then, moving him outside with Haden puts Skrine back in the slot...which I like.

    He'll play corner I believe. Hes got that Richard Sherman size, but Sherman would be a lot less effective if he didnt have Earl Thomas behind him.

    Dream scenario:

    #4- Blake Bortles-QB- UCF

    Obviously.

    #26- Kelvin Benjamin- WR- FSU

    Huge. Red zone target. Wouldn't mind Allen Robinson instead. Could give us Marshall/Jeffery-esque tandem.

    #35- Marcus Roberson- CB- UF

    Physical. Able to play on island. Solid speed and hip fluidity as well.

    #71-Christian Jones- ILB- FSU

    Can play at any LB position. Solid talent.

    #83-Antonio Richardson- T- UT

    Gives us bookend tackle. Free to move Schwartz inside. Also good insurance in case of Thomas injury, knock on wood.

    #106- Shayne Skov- ILB- Stanford

    Potential to be poor man's Kuechly-esque ILB. Downhill tackler. Loud and physical.

    #127- Tajh Boyd- QB- Clemson

    Good project QB. Faced solid teams, put up solid numbers, decent measurables.

    #145-Andre Williams-RB- Boston College

    Could be a poor man's Marshawn Lynch. Physical, big, doesn't go down on first contact, sticks leg into ground and makes cuts. Good pile pusher at times.

    Rounds 6-7: BPA by physicality/potential instead of by statistical performance.

    I can dig this TCPO. Here is the thing with Bottles: he needs to sit a bare minimum 10 games if we draft him, unless he absolutely annihilates Hoyer in a QB competition (and even then we need to very slowly ease him into the system and gradually introduce new concepts and responsibilities). Bortles is raw but not nearly as raw as he is portrayed by the media and many analysts. He called audibles and kill plays at the LOS in college, has decent a decent understanding of reading defenses, and has played in personnel packages similiar to what you would see in the pros. That being said, he is the type of player that has such a fantastic ceiling and physical skill set that he could easily be sabotaged and ruined by forcing to much on his plate too early and too fast.

    Kelvin Benjamin. Love him. He is a less polished Evans who needs to work on sveral things but could ultimately end up being just as good as Evans. I have faith that Farmer is going to make the right decisions. Here is to hoping that he gets the chance to take the players he wants for this team ans is not forced to settle in the early rounds.
