NFL Draft tomorrow

[ProudVirgin69]

Trey Palumalo will catch more TD passes from johnny pick-6 than anyone wearing a CLE jersey.

The Browns knew about Josh Gordon's failed drug test for 2 weeks and they STILL traded down with the Bills.  Granted, they got a good haul for the trade but I can't understand the actions of that front office no matter who's at the helm

[Coach is Back!]

AJ McCarron, 5th 164? really? National Champion, Heisman runner up? Wtf?

[King Shizzo]

So they made a big thing about Michael Sam (the gay linebacker from Missouri) and he is in real danger of not getting drafted.

I think being gay has hurt him.

Sounds kinda like Tim Tebow, and we all know how that ended up

It's not him being gay, it's the inevitable media circus that he would bring to training camp/locker room.  No team wants that

Maybe, but he wasn't that good and did little at the combine.

[King Shizzo]

ESPN made him seem like he was an unstoppable beast, when his story first leaked.

I swear people were talking third round at worst, back then.

Teams don't want the distraction.

[King Shizzo]

Oh yeah, forgot he was named the SEC defensive player of the year.

Sam is sliding because he is openly gay.

[King Shizzo]

The Rams just selected Sam.

Good for the kid. Can stay at home.

[240 is Back]

AJ McCarron, 5th 164? really? National Champion, Heisman runner up? Wtf?

he was a solid QB in an amazing system.

average arm.  average decision making.  his WRs could out-genetic their defenders most of the time.

He'll be a solid backup in the NFL, but I don't see him becoming a starter. I'd love to have him starting in TB lol.  But there's nothing all that exciting about him.

THIS.   Dude is a tweener and was weak/slow at the combine, I think?

[King Shizzo]

Weak tweeners dont win SEC defensive player of the year.

SEC is the best conference in college football.

The guy should have easily went in the 3rd round.

He slipped to the 7th because he was gay.

I bet Goodell made a few phone calls to make sure this kid got drafted.

[Quickerblade]

do 7th round picks even get signed up? how many rounds are there.

[King Shizzo]

There are 7 rounds. There is no guarantee that the later draft picks will make the team.

6'-1", 261 lbs, slow, weak, and gay. If he wasn't brown, he'd be you.

.... And I would also be playing for the Rams.

No, not the Rams you are used to getting.

[ChopperRider]

.... And I would also be playing for the Rams.

No, not the Rams you are used to getting.

And you have as much chance of making the team as Sam has.

But he will write a book, do a movie deal and get a front-office job in the nfl once his two week long career is over.

You'll still be a drunk who answers every Rehaluk beck and call

Read the New England Patriots scouting report on Johnny Manziel because they really disliked him

Johnny Manziel begrudgingly went to the Cleveland Browns in the 2014 NFL draft.

Manziel’s face told the whole story but a leaked internal scouting report from the New England Patriots tells a whole other but unsurprising story about “Johnny Football.” He’s a fucking prick.

BroBible obtained the official scouting report of the New England Patriots from the 2014 NFL Draft. All of the football notes the Patriots made mirror exactly what every football talking head has been saying about Manziel since he officially announced he was leaving school early for the NFL.

The info New England collected about Manziel’s character and family life is much, much juicier.


From the vibe of online articles, father seems a little too involved and overstepping his boundaries. Vibe on this guy keeps getting worse. Support staff members are sick of him and ready for him to go. Described as a cocky, me-guy. Loves football, FBI is high as well. Everything has been pretty well-documented in online articles about the kid, but sources say he’s a spoiled brat (grandfather gives him allowance, father bought him luxury car). Comes from ‘outlaw bloodlines’, mom moved the family to Kerrville to get away from father’s wild family. Father’s family is said to be very shady people, always into something, they are the root of Johnny’s personality.

BANG! BANG! Outlaw Johnny! The entire scouting report is a fascinating read, and I don’t want to spoil it, but the progression of his attitude seems dead on.

Best of luck to the Cleveland Browns franchise.

(Bill traded from #9 to #4 from Browns)

#4 Buffalo Bills


WR - Sammy Watkins  Clemson

This was the most insane move of the draft. They gave up next years 1st and 4th round picks to move up 5 spots and grab a WR. I dont doubt that Sammy Watkins is going to make a fine NFL player but no way do I, if Im the Buffalo Bills, trade away all that for one dude. Should have just waited till #9 and if Sammy wasnt still on the board then they could have picked up Odell Beckham or Brandin Cooks. But hey, it resulted in Stevie Johnson coming over to my 9ers, so i cant complain!!!

#5 - Oakland Raiders


OLB - Khalil Mack   - Buffalo

I liked this pick.

[tbombz]

Cleveland should have taken Watkins.  They fucked up.  Probably fucked up big. 

They aren't taking Manziel.  I hope they take Matthews.

That comment came back to bite you I think the browns made out real well in this draft, considering they came away with Gilbert, Manziel and two first round picks next year.

#10   -  Detroit Lions


TE -  Eric Ebron - North Carolina

The Lions made a nice pick here. They should be playoff contenders soon.

SEC is the best conference in college football.

Some say that's about the system, not the player.  Look at SEC QBs in the NFL:

Alabama? No.

Auburn? Jason Campbell... and, that's it.

Arkansas? No (unless someone from before they entered the SEC did good things as a pro)

Ole Miss? Eli Manning, and that's it.

Mississippi State? Could probably eliminate the QB position from their offense and never tell the difference.

LSU? No, only mega-bust Jamarcus Russell, and never-was Tommy Hodson. Which is better than nothing, I guess.

Vanderbilt? Jay Cutler, who may have been the only Vandy QB to go pro since the Gilded Age.

South Carolina? No.

Florida? Lots of guys drafted, but Shane Matthews is the only one that ever did anything. It was brought up not to forget Rex Grossman, who miraculously helmed the position for the Bears in their 2006 run, and started a bunch of games (credit to brandon12mc for pointing out Rex).

Georgia? Matt Stafford has looked good, but cannot stay healthy at all. Aside from him though, they had plenty of guys drafted, but again, none that did anything meaningful.

Tennessee? Peyton Manning, and super draft bust Heath Shuler. None of their other drafted QBs ever reall did anything.

Kentucky? Tim Cou-nevermind, no, they haven't produced a single one.

So why is this? What is it about the SEC that makes it so prohibitive for its QBs to succeed in the NFL? Plenty of guys from every other conference have gone on to do great things.

It can't be written off as "well everyone runs the ball too much," because the SEC produced Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers in bunches, long before the conference discovered "forward pass" in the 1990s.

#20 New Orleans Saints




WR  - Brandin Cooks - Oregon St.

This kid grew up in Stockton. I lived there. I was hoping he would fall to the 9ers, because dude has got burners and we could use a speedy wide out, but in the end i think it all turned out for the better. Drew Brees has a nice weapon in this one

[tbombz]

#30 -  San Francisco 49ers





S - Jimmie Ward - Northern Illinois

  I love this pick.

[Icelord]

There is a board for this, guys.
