Mel: This is a bad draft

I disagree. If you stay put and take a RB later on, things seem to fall your way. There's a way to add some serious weapons and fill some holes.

What's bad is the rankings. Lots of bad rankings/projections, thanks to people like Mel.

Still trying to sort it out, but I think this years' rankings are off more than usual, so far.
Kiper does not know Jack Squat...

 
Clayton Tune QB. Remember that name. Watch his film. He is better than 95% of the QB's ahead of him.
i've watched several of his games and highlights. He's got a rocket arm he loves to throw the deep ball and can make all the throws. What i did not like about him was the offense did not run a lot of routes other than deep outs/slants, go routes, and short game was mostly screens. he also does not go through progressions (not sure if its by design or not), but he will do 1 read 2 read and throw and most of the time he's locked on to 1 guy the whole way.
 
It is certainly a pretty good draft for cornerbacks. RB’s have a lot of good guys too…. However, the top of the draft does seem a little weak as compared to most years. There aren’t a ton of great prospects at OT (really OL as a whole), QB, LB, DT is thin up top, and aside from Anderson, I don’t really see a blue chip edge rusher in the draft.

I can see how someone could call it a “bad” draft.

There are still some good players to be had, but the top 20 just doesn’t have many elite guys like some years can. CB, RB, TE, and safety has some good depth though.
 
More reason to trade up. Package some picks and come out with 3 potential starters. Don’t sit back and think you’re gonna find gems in rounds 4-7.
I would actually trade down in this draft, mostly because the rounds 2-5 are pretty loaded compared to most years.

Very strong RB class. Lots of CBs, safeties, and TEs.
 
The first round is going to be interesting for sure. I agree the Draft may not look all that sexy but there is some really interesting talent from 2-5.
 
You add Mayer at te, the dt from Pittsburg, and Bigsby and Spears at running back and it isn't so bad.
