1. Luck

Someone is going to trade up to the #2 spot Imo. The best bet is Cleveland due to the ammo they picked up in the Julio Jones
trade with Atlanta. I wouldn't be shocked if the Skins tried to mortgage their future to get there for Griffin either.
That said,I still think it's the Browns who make the trade. In that scenario,The Rams can still get the player they covet
in Blackmon,pick up a few extra selections and get him at a cheaper price. I don't believe they risk trading down to the 6th spot.
If they did, The Bucs would jump on Blackmon Imo.

Has Shanny ever taken a RB in the 1st round. He like low round guys and UDFA's. Anybody can get yardage in those zone blocking schemes.

Good 1st rounder tho.

I can see the Redskins getting Weeden in the 2nd or 3rd round. Redskins fans wouldn't like it but I think it would be a better pick than Tannehill. I just dont think Tannehill will be a good quarterback, atleast not of a while anyways.

If they don't pick one up in free agency (which i don't think they will) then I don't see them not picking one in the 1st round.

2. Griffin is the most coveted player in this draft since Luck is definitely a Colt. The new lower rookie salaries make trading up in the top 10 more expensive than ever before. I think Cleveland may have to surrender their 1st, if not then their 2nd and another high pick to trade up. If Cleveland keeps their 1st then I see them picking David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech.

3. Is Lynch really a stud RB? The Seahawks ranked in the 20's in rushing last year.

4. The 49ers need offensive playmaking receivers, Allen is the best available at that spot in the draft. Who is the 49ers 2nd TE? This is a copycat league and New England has shown what 2 atheltic TEs can do to a defense.

I like Richardson to Seahawks. About where I think he would go too.

Why would the Browns take a QB when they already have a lot invested in McCoy? Serious question, maybe I have missed something?

He's not very good and small to boot?

I LOVED RGIII's press conference at the combine:

“It would be fun to compete with Colt,” said Griffin, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. “I played him one year in college and he beat us. Maybe I’d have to go out there and beat him."

Robert Griffin III wouldn

Ok. I just didn't realize the Browns had written him off yet.

You're correct,however if Blackmon goes 4th overall to the Rams instead of 2nd,the team will save money. Every bit counts. In many ways the
Rams and Colts could be considered as having the top pick in my opinion. The difference is the Colts are going to take Andrew Luck. They might
listen to some offers,but at the end of the day Luck has been on their radar since midway through last season when it was obvious the team wasn't going anywhere.

The Rams are in a very enviable position imo. They are set at Qb with Bradford. Cleveland at 4 and Washington at 6 would love to move up
to their slot and select Griffin. The Vikings at 3 will stand pat imo. They would either go Kalil at LT or Claiborne at CB. Both players would solidify
a critical position for the next decade.The OP believes they go Kalil while I think they'll go with Claiborne. Either way they can't go wrong. It'll
just come down to who their staff believes will be the best fit.

NFL Draft Point Value Chart

If you use the value chart as a guideline, Cleveland is in excellent position to move up for Griffin. They could trade both of their first round
picks ( 4th and 22nd ) plus a 5th rounder and it would equal the point value of the 2nd overall selection. The Rams would probably ask
for more,but Imo again the final trade is going to be pretty close to the value chart.

Blackmon will go to the Rams. They can get him by simply staying where they are at #2 or trading back to 4 and getting extra picks in the
process. I know this scenario isn't 100% guaranteed. You have Danny Boy sitting there at six and it wouldn't shock me if he tried a Rickey
Williams type trade and mortgaged the Skins future for the next several years.

David DeCastro falling to Pittsburgh at 24 is a dream scenario for them. Don't see him falling that far though.

If that happens,the Rams would go with Kalil Imo. OT is also a need for this team. If they do wind up with Blackmon,they'll adress OT at 22.
The Rams are really in a good position for the upcoming draft.

I really don't get what people see in Tannehill

[SaintSproles]

I agree with the top 5 picks.

I also don't see the Redskins making that much of a stretch for Tannehill.
