Clear tier break for me after BroJo, but if not trading down it's Witherspoon.

[Packerraymond]

Witherspoon is too talented to put any further down the board, despite not being at a position of need.

It was Witherspoon or Skrow for me.  I took the safe OL.  

[Old Guy]

Right now, sitting at pick 15, this is not too far off from the board we could be looking at. 

This screams of a trade down if you can find a partner. Hopefully Levis is still on the board and a team is anxious to get him.

The 4 QBs will be long gone. Witherspoon and Skoronski will be long gone. I would guess 1-2 of Murphy, LVN and Smith are there and 1 of QJ or JSN are there. That's a good group to pick from IMO.

Only reason to trade down is if you want a S, TE or OT as your pick. If it's EDGE or WR, stick and pick.

Let's hope. I'm pretty confident Richardson will go but not sure about Levis.

I want two EDGE rushers, a TE and a WR, trade down.

If this is the remaining stuff on the board when we pick, it's a nuked board.  However...in this worst case scenario in which few Qb's are drafted....there is still a studly corner and a very safe OL prospect.  Not to mention two safe TE's.

But...I agree with you.  If this is the board, I'm itching to see if someone will trade up for the pick for the corner.  I'd be happier trading down and taking Mayer or Kincaid.

But this should not be what is left when we pick.

[vegas492]

And..why no Kancey love/respect?  Dude is a disruptor, despite his size.  Are we sleeping on him because of his weight?  Could he effectively replace Dean Lowry?

[VegasDan]

Got a feeling there will be 4 or 5 of those players in this top 11 available to us. 

And we will take a player that shocks us all.   There seems to only be 4 or 5 blue chippers in this draft. Then the next 50 are not that big of a drop-off. I just saw a mock where we take Sam Laporte at 15. I am hoping we find a team wanting to trade up. Maybe the Saints for 29 and 40. Trade Rodgers and a 4th for 42 and 43.  That will give us 4 picks in the top 1/2 of the 2nd.

I think we have already jumped the board a couple of times.  The next three should be some order of Witherspoon, Robinson, Skoronski.  And after that, Porter.

Well, at this point it accounts for 3 QBs. Now, I don't think we have the 12 'best players' on our list. As @Packerraymondpointed out. A couple of guys are almost certainly gone. 

The board isn't going to be too far off from this though.

I finally got around to digging into the DBs. 

Witherspoon is the damn truth. He's way higher on my board now for sure.

I really want his personality and ability on this team...he kinda seems like he could be a force multiplier because of his attitude.

Witherspoon and Ja back there, we're winning the Owl - even with Joe Barry.
