2015 NFL Draft Thread

Amari Cooper would look good in Green and White

Decker, Cooper, Harvin, Kerley, Graham......that aint 1/2 bad right there!

Here's my current mini mock

Oakland - Leonard Williams DL USC
Jacksonville - Marcus Mariotta QB Oregon
Tampa - Jameis Winston QB FSU
Tennessee - Randy Gregory DE Nebraska
Jets - The obvious pick at this point is Amari Cooper, but to avoid being called a homer, I will go with OLB Vic Beasley

I can't see the Jag's giving up on Bortles ?
Raiders - Gregory DE
Jags - Williams DE
Buc's - Mariotta QB
Titans - Winston QB
Jets - Cooper WR

You know Rex loves Vic Beasley being a Clemson Tiger; however, I just don't see the Jets going defense first again.

Go Jets...Cyborg

Jax just took Bortles. I can't see them taking a QB with a high 1st this year

Hey Hobson54, welcome back buddy. Tell us about the wedding and two week honeymoon ? Don't venture over to our old board, it has become brutal ! Congratulations Greg.

Dang, I totally flaked on that.......we might be in position to move up to 2 if we want one of the presumptive big 2 QBs, not saying we will or that it's even certain we will pick 5

Cooper or OL for me......both will grade out higher than Winston or Mariota. Mariota isn't even a top 10 value. He can't start from day one unless Chip Kelley gets him.

It might be a good thing the draft has moved to Chicago this year, because "IF" Idzik were to draft an OL with the 1st round pick, there might be a riot in Radio City Music Hall !

I like a couple of rush OLBs but agree on Cooper or OL at this point

I think OL would be the "safest" pick; however, we need to load up with the best offensive weapons we can get for our new QB ? Plus with Harvin's health issues, Amari Cooper WR would be great insurance.

Go Jets...Cyborg

Thank goodness the raiders won thursday night. Inches us closer to over taking their draft position.

Tennessee, Oakland, Tampa Bay, Will be team vying for the services of Marcus Mariota. Other teams that will draft high will be looking to fortify other positions as they already have set signal callers, and their franchises are well invested in them i might add which include:

Giants
Carolina
Washington
Jacksonville

There is absolutley no reason to win any more games for us this season, if they do, especially if Geno gets back under the helm will be purely fools gold, as dictated and demonstrated by the late season performance of '13.

With all that being said, the Raiders by far have the toughest remaining schedule out of them all and see them going 2-14 easy. Tennessee also having the second toughest schedule though i think they may win another one making them 3-13, especially if they beat us (hopefully).
Then you got Tampa Bay who is an anomaly. They can go either way and i'am going to say they'll go 4-12.

As A_holes as the Jets front office and coaching staff are, they will some how "PLAY HARD" for their coach in which means absolutley nothing only messing their chances at a high draft pick in selecting Marcus Mariota. I see the Jets, UNFORTUNATLEY going 6-10. 6th or 7th over all.

With that being said, the Jets must trade up and make a deal with Jax especially if they're selecting #1 over all. It's time for the Jets to start making bold decisions to change the mediocrity that Rex and company has made this franchise out to be.

3-4 QB's stocks always rise as the draft approaches, but not sure about those projections. Can't see Mannion going anywhere in the first round, or even the second, frankly. You look past his size and arm and wonder what's going on between the ears. He's been out-played by the opposing QB almost every week this year. Just isn't have the kind of productivity he needed this season. Petty has also been a bit of a let-down. He looks like a 2nd round QB to me. Too inconsistent. Hundley could sneak into the top 15. He had a good game yesterday and overall a very solid statistical season. Biggest plus is the consistency, biggest minus is the reliance on his feet, which he won't be able to fall back on in the NFL, plus the fact he put up all those stats in the PAC-12, where everyone plays a base Cover-No One defense.

I think Oakland is going to ride Carr for at least another year. They really like him. If the Raiders can manage to stop playing "winners of FA", signing a bunch of over-the-hill has-been's, and start building that team through the draft, then Carr will have a chance to be a pretty good QB in this league.

So I don't expect the Raiders to draft a QB in the first round. I can see the Jets making a trade with them to move up a few spots for Mariota.

Just keep in mind what the Redskins gave up to get RG3. The Raiders will be looking for similar compensation, which is too rich for my blood.

Go Jets...Cyborg

So much will depend on who the coach is. If it's Pep Hamilton, trading up for a QB MIGHT be a viable option. If it's Bevell, we might go OL or WR

If it's Quinn or Bowles, we might be more likely to go BAA

All that's conjecture/speculation in on my part of course

Thanks for throwing the schedules out there, Dan. That's what I'll be tracking the rest of the year. Great post(s).

winston in NYC is a disaster waiting to happen. an immature (albeit talented) QB who will be thrust into position of being the "savior" of the jets franchise, under the glare of the jackals in the local media. what could go wrong...

they know...this isn't rocket science.....gimmick QBs get GMs fired.

If we hire Pep Hamilton, Greg Roman, or Darrell Bevell, sign me up for Jameis Winston, if we go Dan Quinn or Todd Bowles (both if who I like a lot) then maybe Winston is not as good a choice. Hamilton, Roman, and Bevell are proven in working with young QBs
