2015 Draft Prospects

[brownindian]

I thought the Titans were a lock to take MM. Isn't Zach Mettenberger their QB and he is not exactly a top QB isn't he? Why would they not want to take a chance on Marcus Mariota?

 

[MalTalm]

Sure, I'm down for Marcus at 9-12. He can conceivably go there if Tennessee and New York choose a different direction.

He's not as NFL-ready as I thought he would be a year and a half ago, but the kid has unquestionably got some game.

If it took both 12 and 19 to get Mariota, would you be down?

I'm not even remotely a QB guru, but is Mariota's upside that much higher than Hundley's?

No, 12 and 19 is ridiculous.

Pipe dream for the Titans, or Redskins for that matter.

Browns probably trade down from 12+19. Writers have no clue what they have in the works.

I think 12 plus multiple 3rd round or later picks is OK. I love MM tho. We need a locker room guy like him on offense. I think we will hit the phones but ultimately this is a pretty easy player to create a draft bidding war for. I bet he goes 7 or sooner.

The thing is, Farmer drafted well besides Manziel (Gilbert is incomplete grade), so my idea might not be realistic. Plus, MM threw to some really wide open dudes plenty of times.

That's a good draft IMO.

Also, Fanspeak is mildly addictive.

Try First-Pick.com. You can make an obscene amount of trade-downs if you'd like haha.

Cooper at 12?

Cooper at 12?

Also not as improbable as some thing.

WRs have a tendency to fall because, well, they don't always provide the value necessary for their status. Even more so this year with a deep crop of receivers.

I like Cooper a lot.. You don't?

Last year might have been the deepest class of receivers in years yet three still managed to get drafted in the first 11 picks, with another two drafted in the top-28. I don't see receivers falling, and I'd be absolutely shocked to see Amari Cooper available at 12.

And what about their value? All those first rounders from last year were already returning value as first year starters, and every single one of the five is penciled in as their respective team's #1 receiver heading into this season. There was even second rounders (Jordan Mathews, Davante Adams, Jarvis Landry) that were productive for their draft slots.

Third and fourth rounders were producing too, many teams got value in the mid-later rounds at the receiver position.

That was my point, teams are getting value from the position all throughout the draft which makes getting one at the very top of the draft less of a priority IMO. Could be something that affects the board.

Nothing is given.

Point taken, there's going to be some quality options on the board even in the mid-rounds. You've wrote about Justin Hardy before, and I believe Stefon Diggs, any other sleepers? Deontay Greenberry was a big-time recruit a few years ago, his size/speed combo could make him an interesting late pick.
