1st pick

Every team does it some, but Tennessee didn't use them anywhere near as much as spread teams like WVU and Baylor do.

 

Here's how I see the draft falling tomorrow, based on all the draft nerd stuff I've been doing:

1. KC -> Joeckel
2. Jacksonville -> Fisher
3. Oakland -> Star (this is where my penis goes flaccid)
4. Iggles -> Geno Smith (mild surprise here)
5. Detroit -> Jordan
6. Cleveland -> Trade with Miami -> Lane Johnson
7. Arizona -> Ziggy Ansah
8. Buffalo -> Ryan Nassib
9. Jets -> Milliner
10. Titans -> Floyd
11. SD -> Warmack
12. Cleveland (from Miami) -> Tavon Austin
13. Jets -> Barkevious Mingo

Which brings me to the Panthers pick. I think at this point, I think Sheldon Richardson and Sylvester Williams will get strong consideration, but my gut says the pick will be:

14. Carolina -> DeAndre Hopkins

I base this pick on the pre-draft interest shown by the team, both in Hopkins in particular, as well as the WR position in general. Also, there is zero chance Hopkins will be around for the pick in the second round, and Carolina doesn't have the guns to move the second round pick up to another mid first rounder.

 

Oh fuck no. I like Hopkins, but you don't take him at #14 after all the other moves they've made. That would nuts. It's also very possible that he would be there at #44. The WRs as a whole seem to be dropping because this is a deep class of them. Also, no way the Eagles take Geno. Chip would rather have E.J. Manuel to run his offense than Geno, and he can probably get Manuel in the second round.

 

If Lane Johnson gets past the Cards, Chargers, without anyone taking him I imagine the Panthers would grab him especially over a slow developing position like WR

 

I'd be shocked, shocked I tell you, if 2 Qbs were taken in the top 10. Other than that, I have no idea what to expect. Some trades, but who and for what?

 

I dont think Hopkins gets past the Rams at 16

 

I could be wrong of course, but I really think this is what they'll do if the board falls this way. I strongly disagree that Hopkins will be available in the second, so if they covet him, they'll have to take him in the first or not at all.

 

Agree.

 

1. KC -> Joeckel
2. Jacksonville -> Jordan
3. Oakland -> Floyd
4. Eagles -> Trade with San Diego -> Fisher (Chargers give up #11, 2nd and 4th)
5. Detroit -> Ansah
6. Cleveland -> Millner (if Miami trades up swap they get Millner, Browns take Rhodes)
7. Arizona -> Johnson
8. Buffalo -> Ryan Nassib
9. Jets -> Mingo
10. Titans -> Warmack
11. Eagles -> Geno Smith
12. Miami -> Rhodes
13. Jets -> Star
14. Panthers -> DJ Fluker

 

If ma nigga star or tavon is there one of dem is gonna be a panther. Probably Austin if dem j e t s don't pick his lil ass
