2014 Mock Draft Discussion Thread

[Clayton]

So I say to not do least favorite then you go ahead and do it? Just wondering why you think Mosely is bad at 13 or Haha? Seems like you don't like Alabama players?

Mosely's tape is really good. It wasn't his fault that Bama's defense wasn't elite this year

Did Schaub get cut or something?


He had a bad season but he's not a bad QB. You don't reach in the draft, especially at #1, for a QB...especially with a player like Clowney out there.

Schaub is a mental wreck...his next pick 6 in HOU could cause permanent damage...to himself and the fans...I think he's done in HOU. Clowney was an excellent pick, I understand you don't think much of Bridgewater but his rating grade is not that much lower than Clowney...that said, he is more likely to go bust than Clowney.

Yeah Mosley impresses me on tape. Can't fault him because one Alabama failed at the next level and most of his failures were off the field. He wasn't the best on the field but obviously the guy had a few screws loose.

I'm curious to see how both these guys do because I'm not that high on them either...Kouandjio I thought was the best Bama player coming out this year.

Mosely is also undersized.

Mosely is also undersized.

He is a guy that needs a good combine. If he can drop back in coverage, he'll be a good NFL player. We'll also be able to tell right away with him because Alabama has been giving him lots of responsibility and football knowledge. The main worry you have with him (and many of Bama's recruits it seems) is that maybe he has already maxed out

Mosely is also undersized.

He is 240 and looks like he has the build to put on another 10 lbs pretty easy. He is very good in run support and pass support. Won defensive player of the week 11 of the 12 weeks for the Tide this past year. Has been talked up by the coaching staff saying he is an extra coach on the field. Plus with Buffalo he would be playing the smaller of the two ILB positions and asked to drop back in coverage. He also has a very big DL in front of him to eat up blocks and let him use his athleticism to make plays.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on him. I would have taken him at 9 if I didn't get the trade offer so getting him at 13 worked out well.

I think Benjamin is going to be a bust.

I think Benjamin is going to be a bust.

I don't think so at all, I think he needs work but the raw skills are there, his key is going to be the team that he ends up with and how well the develop players

I thought a lot of teams did their clubs a solid job in the first round. Even the guys that ''reached'' according to what some published big boards might say, were taking guys who were great fits for their systems.

Best pick-Mike Evans to the Ravens. This kid is Vincent Jackson 2.0. With Flaco's big arm, just a great weapon
Surprise pick-Blake Bortles to the Rams. Not because he's a bad pick, but because I was stunned he was there at 9. I think he's going to be an outstanding pro QB

I've been trying to come up with a pro comparison for Bortles and Im not finding anyone current. I feel like he is a throwback to QBs from a different era. He has white guy athleticism but he knows when to use it. His delivery could use some work but the throws are always where they should be.

Maybe Tony Romo as he does find a way to make those small little moves in the pocket to buy some time. He isn't going to outrun anybody but he knows when to move in the pocket and throws very well on the run.

Just a heads up but if you haven't seen Blake Bortles gf, google 'lindsey duke'

 

[ATL96Steeler]

I think Benjamin is going to be a bust.

Why?

I don't think so...he needs refining but these kids know they can't be 1 contract players and be set for life now...it depends on how hard he wants to work...I think he'll make plays as a rookie and could be a stud by year 3.

I see a young John Elway(with a 90 mph fastball instead of 100)

She has a face?

And yeah, Bortles reminds me a bit of Elway and a bit of Tebow. He'll be somewhere in between.

Thats a good call too, Elway with less arm or Tebow with a solid arm. Either way, I'd take it

So he's going to be either overrated or suck?
