Wait no Kizer in the 1st round :ohhh:
I think he's going to be alright but I'm not seeing this elite player outside of the last two national championship games...
Its like Greg when he was at Miami...no real legit passing QB.

Hurts was just a freshman. Sims was never a full time QB. Coker was meh.
Howard is going to ball with a good passing QB.

I wouldn't be surprised if Carolina takes if he's there at 8...Dave loves him.

We used him horribly. All Kiffin ran was jet sweeps and bubble screens. He doesn't know how to use TEs. He will explode in the NFL
I will give you that the offense y'all ran was counter productive to an aerial game, I think he's fine as a mid to late first especially with a wide receiver class that's questionable to me at the top...

I hope not because if we're picking an offensive player I want someone explosive and the only two that fit to me are Dalvin and Fournette...and well Mixon but no way in hell do we go that route with Jerry still running the team

If they really want to add explosion..

Trade down and acquire more pics.
Take John Ross.
Top of the 2nd round address defense.
Bottom of the 2nd round take Joe Mixon.

More film I watch....I wouldn't be shocked if dude ends up just as good as any rb in this draft. Watch him go to the Patriots or Saints tho...

Blasphemy
Cont..

11. New Orleans Saints, 7-9

Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

After trading away Brandin Cooks to the Patriots, New Orleans now has three of the top 42 picks in this draft and five of the top 103. They used their first four selections last year on defense, but still need help on that side, even after signing Alex Okafor, who's a solid player but does not solve their need for another pass-rusher. Barnett racked up incredible production in his three seasons at Tennessee (52 tackles for loss and 33 sacks). He uses his hands well as a pass-rusher, and he has the athleticism to drop into coverage occasionally.

i

12. Cleveland Browns, 1-15 (from Eagles)
Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

I'm not convinced Cleveland will use this pick on a quarterback, but it would make some sense, especially after landing Garrett at No. 1 overall. Watson will need time adjust to a pro-style system, but he has the tools to grow into a good starter in the NFL if developed and utilized properly.

i

13. Arizona Cardinals, 7-8-1
Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU

If Alabama LB Reuben Foster falls more than expected, he would be a great pick here. But after losing three defensive backs in free agency, cornerback is another possibility. White would give Arizona a physical, instinctive press-man corner to lineup opposite of Patrick Peterson.

i

14. Philadelphia Eagles, 7-9 (from Vikings)
Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

McCaffrey has a ton of versatility: He can handle 10 or so carries per game, catch passes as a slot receiver and contribute in the return game. He had an exceptional week at the combine, showing off his straight-line speed and short-area quickness. McCaffrey's elite character could be the tiebreaker with Florida State RB Dalvin Cook for some teams.

i

15. Indianapolis Colts, 8-8
Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky

Rebuilding the offensive and defensive lines has to be a priority for the Colts. Edge rushers such as Takkarist McKinley or Charles Harris could make sense here, but Lamp is the best all-around offensive lineman in this draft. He played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the NFL. Flip on his tape against Alabama. This kid is for real.

i

16. Baltimore Ravens, 8-8
John Ross, WR, Washington

If the Ravens opt to take a second first-round wide receiver in three years, they'd have a tough decision between the electric speed of Ross and the size/jump-ball ability of Mike Williams. Ross' tape shows his 4.22 40 is no fluke, and his savvy route-running ability and reliable hands make him a great all-around prospect.

i

17. Washington Redskins, 8-7-1
Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Some character red flags and a deep running back class could lead to Cook falling a bit, but he's far too talented to drop out of the first round. Running back is a big need for the Redskins, and Cook is an explosive playmaker who's also an adept pass-catcher out of the backfield. He looks like a true three-down back in the NFL.

i

18. Tennessee Titans, 9-7
Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

I'll be at Clemson's pro day on Thursday, and I'm interested to see what Williams runs in the 40-yard dash after sitting out the drill at the combine. On tape, he shows great hands and the ability to win contested catches. The one remaining question is: What's his true top-end speed? Running a 4.55 or better would be a win for Williams.

i

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 9-7
David Njoku, TE, Miami (Fla.)

Bucs TE Cameron Brate had a breakout 2016 campaign with 660 yards and eight touchdowns, but Njoku's athleticism is on a different level. At the combine, he ran a 4.70 40 and jumped out of the gym 37.5-inch vertical and an 11-foot, 1-inch broad jump. Njoku would give Tampa a formidable two-TE set.

i

20. Denver Broncos, 9-7
Garett Boles, OT, Utah

Bolles has just one year of major college experience, but he's the most athletic left tackle prospect in this class and he plays with an edge. He has a lot of tools to develop, and after signing OG Ronald Leary and OT Menelik Watson in free agency, Denver might have the time to bring him along properly.

i

21. Detroit Lions, 9-7
Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri

A twitchy athlete off the edge, Harris is just scratching the surface as a pass-rusher. He led the SEC with 18.5 tackles for loss in 2015 and finished this past season on a tear (5.5 sacks, six quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in his final four games). Ezekiel Ansah can't be the only pass-rushing threat in Detroit.
