Mock Drafts

CBSSportsline has us taking Hankins or Sharrif Floyd DT's

 

That's so fucking bad. The problem is that most people for these sites are idiots who know nothing about player evaluation or draft history. They think some QB always goes in the top 5 when there are plenty of seasons where none did, then they dramatically overvalue need as opposed to talent. I think Hankins and Floyd both fall past #14, and probably well past.

 

Did not enjoy Florida getting ass raped by Louisville in the Bowl game.

Floyd seems like a reach at 14 for sure.

Would be shocked to see Glennon or Wilson go that high, hope they do tho.

WR Patterson seems so raw as a WR to me too. Right now I see a returner in him, way too high for him IMO.

And how come Tenn have such highly rated O prospects yet were so average.

 

Floyd is a solid looking player and I wouldn't lose my shit if they took him at #14, but it does seem high.

 

Any chance we dump some money and look free agent for a legitimate WR, using the draft for d-line? This has to be addressed sooner rather than later.

 

WR isn't even a need.

 

I wouldn't say it isn't a need... its just not high up there.

 

It's not a need at all. That doesn't mean you don't acquire one in the right situation, as LB wasn't a need either but the team felt Kuechly was the best of a bunch of bad options. Steve Smith is still capable and Brandon LaFell is pretty good. Throw Olsen, Tolbert, and the HBs and there simply aren't many targets left. It's funny to me that some of the people who scream about the team not running enough then turn around and want another WR.

 

Speaking of WRs, I know it isn't a need, like signing Tolbert last year, but that WR out of Baylor who is projected to be a 2nd round selection to me would be a nice pick. Great route runner and reasonably big

 

As if you needed anymore reason to think Bleacher Report is staffed with fucking imbeciles they have the Panthers take Jarvis LB from Georgia at 14
Would love to see Milner if we don't get the DT they want
