first off I love the new CBA and the amount of wheeling and dealing that it encouraged last year

I just have to think the trend will continue as there are limited number of blue chippers this year and teams with multiple draft picks

I still think back to Decastro last year and the reviews he got...and where he ended up being drafted. I would not be surprised to see the two big guards drop into the 20's as it is much easier for a gm to introduce the next great hope at QB to longsuffering fans as opposed to a 320 lb road grader that no one will notice if he does his job.
Wouldnt be surprised to see a QB draft similar to couple years ago with guys like a Ponder going much higher than rated...and with similar results in a few years

I still believe in Parcells "big guys" philosophy that there are only so many 320 lbers on the planet and with that in mind..Syl Williams is looking good; Fluker will probably be a sollid pro for 10 years

Betting Vaccaro goes higher than we think..just based on what happened with Mark Barron last year.

Bjorn Woerner is going to be a productive football player. He is still in his football infancy and if some excellent defensive line coach gets max effort out of him on every play he is going to produce. Seems like the buzz on him has fallen off and a player once thought to be in the top 10 has become very quiet. If he gets on a good team with solid defensive tackles..look out

Gotta feeling that Kewann Short had a bad case of senioritis..kindof like Couples last year. He flashes ability but maybe was protecting himself?
again a good line coach could light a fire and he could be a future all pro or not

stay away from William Gholston..he's a coach killer

man this bunch of wide receivers have alot of baggage
where have all the premier running backs gone?...oh ya quarterbacks in college are doing responsible for alot of the ground game

Its impossible to do a mock draft with all the potential for trades and dont believe anything you hear until the draft starts

If we trade back it wouldn't bother me. I think when we look back to this draft we'll see an above average number of busts in the first round.
