Kiper - Playing GM for each team

[Derinyar]

Jones is fully reasonable based on what's being seen on boards right now. I think I'd prefer DE Hunter over Bennett in the second, he's someone we actually brought in. Based on board specifics I could also see them taking Ajayi at 60 as opposed to a DE or DT.

I don't like the idea of drafting a cornerback in the first round. I just can't understand the though process especially since Dline is much more important and the team has gotten burned the last two times they drafted a cornerback in the first round.

I prefer drafting another olineman in the first if a DE, DT, or WR are not there.

Drafting a DT/DE at 27 will result in the 4th or 5th best player at those positions. I had much rather draft the 1st or 2nd best player at their position instead of drafting just for need.

Langford good at blocking? Catching passes? If not then do not think he would be a good fit.

Running back who has played wide receiver and cornerback at Michigan State. Improved a great deal since 2013 season. Has feet to avoid the trash and bounce it outside. Has burst around the corner and can separate from linebackers in pursuit. Finished his 2014 campaign with 22 carries of 15-plus yards, placing him fifth in running-back heavy Big Ten. Effective with chip blocks and will square up blitzers and take them on in pass protection. Has blocking and pass-catching talent to play on third downs. Good spin move and plus lateral foot quickness. Maintains balance through contact. Showed special-teams potential as a sophomore.

You draft your board. If the highest guy is a CB when you are on the clock, take him. The draft is about aquiring talent. Passing on higher rated talent to take a lesser talented player doesn't seem like the way to improve your roster.

Thanks. I see he has only 39 receptions the last two years which is not very many considering how many rushing attempts he had.

So Mich St. scheme does not call for their RBs to catch out of the backfield?

Sometimes you do. Last year Manziel was rated higher than Martin...they took Martin.

That would work, I guess. It looks more like B than an "A" though. imo

Had to blink.
He has Chicago using the 7th overall pick in the draft on Breshad Perriman.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say <5% chance on that one.

The Jets getting both Kevin White and Eli Harold is pretty sweet for them.

Browns getting Danny Sheldon, Todd Gurley, Devin Smith....nice

I don't know if the Browns brass is smart enough to accomplish that. But that would be a nice coup for the Browns if it happens.

Was that on the real board or the one inside Jerry Jones' head?

I'd have to dig it up, but I thought Stephen actually said it over the summer. We all know JJ loved him.

1(27) Byron Jones CB Connecticut
2(60) Michael Bennett DT Ohio St.
3(91) Jeremy Langford RB Michigan St

this would not bother me at all
