The three spartans leave early and they are projected 4th round, they probably should of stayed in school. Also no Denard in the first 5 rounds?

I'll be bummed if the Lions pass on Milliner if he's available given our need in the secondary. He's fast and is a good cover guy.

For a laugh, scroll down and go to the 2014 Mock draft. If Terry Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel get drafted before Jadeveon Clowney I will eat my shoe. Also, if my Browns take Johnny Football I will eat my other shoe.

I will be pissed if the Lions take Ansah at 5 overall. You don't take a player that is boom or bust at 5 overall, because that is what he is.

Completely agree. I want Patterson in the first, either an OL/LB in the second (best available) and a QB/OL/LB in the 3rd.

Patterson has shit hands, and that is an honest concern that people are not talking about. I can't think of one WR in the league that had made it that is a body catcher.

Yeah, athletically he is special. Can't teach his stop and start ability. His hands are a bigger knock then his route running, he doesn't have natural hands and catches with his body. As for his route running he does run some lazy routes at times. Which is weird, because often times he is a willing run blocker. Usually guys who are willing run blockers aren't lazy route runners, but he is. If you take him, you aren't taking him for his hands, you are taking him for his special ability in the open field.

You can technically argue that you can teach hands. But I can't think of one body catcher coming out of college who has turned into a natural hands catcher. I just can't think of some one who had been able to do it. When you have been body catching for most of your football career up to this point, it is only natural for it to come back to you in real live game speed.

Btw no argument from me on teaching route running, that definitely is much easier to correct. I'm not saying he will/won't correct it, but definitely teachable.

Yeah, my favorite WR in the draft is Keenan Allen. Then Tavon Austin. These guys aren't free of valid question marks either though. Allen has great body control and hands, but lacks vertical speed. Austin has good hands, separates well, runs very crafty routes and is obviously athletically gifted, but he is tiny. This is one of the weaker top 10's i can ever remember as far as blue chippers go, but yet on the other hand it is one of the deepest 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds I can ever remember as well.

I think that Allen will be around in the early 2nd round. So if someone had a top 10 pick they could get best available and Allen, Wheaton, The General, or Bailey. It really depends on what type of WR a team is looking for. I agree the top end isnt there, but it is very deep. It would be a good draft to trade back and get more picks. (also very deep in OL and DL)

Quinton Patton is going to be awesome value for some team at the top of the 2nd round. Reminds me a little bit of Greg Jennings. I'm also a fan of Wheaton. Not a really big Bailey fan. It will be interesting to see how some teams value Justin Hunter. Is he a 1st rounder(I don't think so) or is he a 3rd rounder, I think closer to a 3rd rounder then a 1st rounder, but teams are going to be intrigued by his height, weight, athletic ability combo.

Ok we will agree to disagree. Also I dont really believe he has that big of a problem with it. He is just really raw and it shows in his route running. Do I think that he will have hands like Fitzgerald? No, but with his athletic ability he just may be able to do some special things .
