    I think McKinney is going to drop significantly. Like, a fourth round kind of fall. He's a two-down MLB who doesn't run well and gets lost in trash.

    I think we will trade out and I would too if I got excellent value for the pick (and its a good trade for us). I have no problems drating Leonard Williams as I am high on him. I want no part of Jordan Phillips before round 3 at the earliest. He is highly athletic but very inconsistent on tape, but what really scares me about him is that he missed time for back surgery. For a tall NT who has to bend a lot and exert max force every play, you're asking for problems.

    I'd take Eddie Goldman (and did) or Carl Davis over Phillips. Goldman is the better run defender (between he and Davis) but Davis has more pass rush ability.

    Goldman I see as a poor man's Casey Hampton.

    3 of those guys I almost took...twice!!!

    I think JCollins (few starts for a guy with his measureables and not great speed), Phillips (serious medical and very inconsistent play) and Shaq (position fit) are the most likely to fall out of rnd 1. I will be shocked if Flowers and Humphries make it out of round 1 though I think they are more upside guys than plug and play.

    For some reason, I was thinking Collins ran like a 4.32. I just checked and you're right, it was like a 4.48. That really changes my perception of him. He also only started 10 games in college, so I'm bumping him off my list.

    All players are projections in the draft. Aren't the Bucs projecting that Winston will stay clean off the field AND learn not to throw so many picks?

    Ever hear of another spread option qb who went first overall based on a projection named Cam Newton?

    No offense has predetermined passes the way you describe. They way it actually works is that based on play call and defensive alignment, they predetermine the part of the field they are going to read. But that also changes on snap with change of coverage or blitz for example. So if they know they will get a 3 on 2 vs the defense, he still reads who to throw the ball to. If you watch him on Grudens qb camp, you will see him make a read where he recognized the db's didn't switch coverage and so he was able to throw a td - so it certainly isn't just throw to that guy no matter what. And by the way, both Winston and Mariota draw up there own plays which have progressions and then they are shown cutups where they didn't always follow that progression. In Mariotas case he escaped pressure to run or make a throw for a first down. With Winston it resulted in INT's or near INT's as he learned he was predetermining throwing to Greene too much even when triple covered and he stares down Wrs too much. I also didn't like Winston's reaction to being shown this as he had kind of a Deer caught in the headlights look and seemed embarassed.

    Thank God Gut isn't our gm. Not sure Ruston is much better though.

    And who would you have taken? Which pick don't you like or do you think they are both bad?

    Having the Titans' pick in this thing is always the least enviable selection to have. No one is happy no matter what.

    I had it a few years ago and came out unscathed.

    I took Dion Jordan because he fell for some reason.
