I would be very happy with Beckham.

I was thinking OG.

Now, are we also going to see your rankings on other positions? E.g. I say the Browns have a desperate need for ILB. Lets see what you come up with there.

Terrific stuff as always, Dig.

Prreciate that Buddy!

Enjoyed the video thanks, good info there. I am a bit surprised by how high you rank Matthews.................

Thanks Jcam! I've seen a lot of Mathews both on film and in person & I must say…he's been very impressive each and every time

@gftchris said:

You also seem to be going against the grain with ranking Bortles as a third round pick?

I really wish he could've stayed that extra year…I get the 'strike while the iron is hot' but I think another year of 'cleaner' play would've served him well

@the-gipper said:

Interesting. A few comments:

You said you saw Bridgewater as almost as good as Andrew Luck. You may be the only person to hold that opinion.

He's as polished & has minimal holes in his game as did Luck coming out

The Johnny Manziel comparison to Colin Kaepernick is very interesting....and perhaps astute. I have not heard anyone else make that comparison....but thinking about it, I think it works.

Both guys have that 'Frenetic'-like pace in the pocket…almost like every play is 3rd down, goal to go, down by 4

Having Jeff Matthews of Cornell as an early second rounder is also quite at variance with most others...who have him 7th round/UFA rated. I don't know if I think he should be taken as high as you say, but I think you are good on having him a bit higher than most others do.

BIG fan of his game…He was also the best QB at the Shrine Game all week long, but the mass media wanted to hype Garoppolo which was bizarre to me

You also obviously vary with most others on Bortles, some of whom have him going as high as #1 overall. Some see him as a Ben Roethlisberger type, which would be good. I personally don't know if he could be that....or if he is a 3rd rounder like you say.

IMHO, there's still a lot of questions about his game…Despite his numbers, he's wildly inconsistent

Your comparison of Tajh Boyd to David Garrad or Jeff Blake is faint praise....but perhaps accurate.

I wonder how much better would he do outside of Dabu Swinney running him like a fullback 15 times a game

And your comparison of Mettenberger to Brandon Weeden could be damning praise.

Lol! Not much needs to be said there huh?

Also, some say that AJ McCarron could be the next Bart Starr type QB: low rated (Starr was a 17th round pick), game manager type....but a winner.

I also noted that you seemed to doing scouting for the CFL as well as the NFL....suggesting that a few people should seek employment up there. Is that really their best option...for the likes of Boyd and others?

They may not think it's the best option..but if the goal is to play ball & get paid, then they may have to revisit that. I wish the salaries were just a little bit more comparable

On the small college front that you spend some time on. I guess you are looking for the next Kurt Warner/Tony Romo. They could be in there.

What I do note is that some of those small college QBs are what I would call "Tweeners". Guys who are 6'2" in stature, but who, with their talent and a 6'4-6'5 frame would be much higher rated. (and who would have probably gone to larger profile schools.)

Fair to say?

That's fair and a lot of times, guys like these are late bloomers coming out of High School
