2013 NCAA FB Season / 2014 NFL draft

[CalamityX11]

I can see the Texans going with Clowney... but with the rams having Long n Quinn already, I can see why although Clowney trumps both...

Unless its QB, maybe the Rams can ransom that #2 for more picks?

They should also seriously consider drafting a QB.

They would transition to a 3-4 to make it work. Quinn and Clowney on the outside would be terror.

Brockers and Long can play end. Long could also fill in as a OLB when Quinn/Clowney needs a breather. Trust me, DCs would make it work.

 

[BINGO]

Paul Richardson - WR - Buffaloes

Colorado redshirt junior WR Paul Richardson will enter the 2014 NFL Draft.

Richardson, who missed last season with a knee injury, has collected 79 catches for 1,289 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2013. His slender frame (6-foot-1, 170 pounds) will ensure durability questions persist, but we like Richardson's deep speed and big-play ability.

Random: But I can't wait until coach O'Brien leaves PSU for a new coaching gig. Didn't start O'Beng at safety after his 1st game where he recorded an INT, a forced fumble, sack, and fumble recovery. It was his senior year, there was some hype around him coming into the year, now he probably won't go until the 6th round or so. He should put up many reps at his pro day, but still with little tape on the guy his future was pretty much taken away by O'Brien

I think many PSU fans would disagree with you about O'Brien. It's also not like Obeng-Agyapong sat on the bench all year, either. He was moved to OLB.

Jeremy Gallon - WR - Wolverines

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks believes it might be tough to sell Michigan senior WR Jeremy Gallon to NFL coaches.

"Although he catches the ball well and displays some impressive running skills with the ball in his hands, it's hard to sell an undersized receiver with questionable speed to coaches looking to juice up their offensive attacks," Brooks writes. The former NFL scout did add he expects Gallon to earn a roster spot as a receiver/return specialist. We think Gallon displays similar skills to Golden Tate, minus some explosion and burst after the catch.

Johnny Manziel - QB - Aggies

After spending a few weeks talking with "NFL types," the Dallas Morning News' Rick Gosselin is convinced Texas A&M redshirt sophomore QB Johnny Manziel will be a top-12 pick.

Gosselin is unable to devote as much time to the NFL draft in recent years, but few are more respected in terms of covering the event. "Too many teams need one. NFL scouts will go all the way back to high school in their research," Gosselin writes. "They will find a dynamic winner who can make plays with his arm or legs and also makes the players around him better." We think Manziel ultimately ends up in the first-round, especially if specific underclassmen return for the 2014 season.

Brandon Coleman - WR - Scarlet Knights

Rutgers redshirt junior WR Brandon Coleman is 50/50 on his upcoming NFL decision, according to draft insider Tony Pauline.

Pauline adds Coleman was set to make this his final year, but a down 2013 season may have altered that decision. Coleman has plenty of talent and an excellent frame, but he has failed to create as much separation this season and lost at the catch point too often. He has not been helped by quarterback play, however.

Kelvin Benjamin - WR - Seminoles

Florida State redshirt sophomore WR Kelvin Benjamin was ranked by NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah as the player who improved his stock the most this past weekend.

Benjamin caught nine passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 37-7 demolition of Florida. "His combination of size and athleticism is rare, but I was most impressed with his ball skills on Saturday," Jeremiah wrote. "He made several impressive adjustments to corral the deep ball." Although Benjamin is criminally under-discussed, we think there is a good chance he bolts for the draft after this season. Benjamin, who turns 23 in February, dominates at the catch point, a vital skill at the next level. Source: NFL.com

Tajh Boyd - QB - Tigers

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah noted that Clemson QB Tajh Boyd's stock fell further on Saturday against South Carolina.

Boyd failed to throw a touchdown pass in the 31-17 loss at South Carolina. More troubling, he turned the ball over three times, including two interceptions and a fumble. Boyd finishes his career 0-4 record against the archrival Gamecocks, including 0-3 as a starter. "He was under pressure throughout the game, but he could've avoided a few sacks with better pocket movement/awareness," Jeremiah wrote.

I think many PSU fans would disagree with you about O'Brien. It's also not like Obeng-Agyapong sat on the bench all year, either. He was moved to OLB.

The injury to Hull at the beginning of the season shouldn't have moved him to OLB. He's a way better safety than Keiser, Willis, Amos, and Della Valle. Why Amos got moved out there to begin with made no sense. He looked like he had never practiced the position before while at CB he must have given up the least amount of yardage in the Big-Ten(elite player at CB). It should have been Obeng and Willis back there with Amos and Lucas holding down CB.

It's not only Obeng I have a problem with, it's also Kyle Carter. He goes from being the only 1st team Big Ten redshirt freshman last year to being 2nd or 3rd on the roster for TE.

Zwinak's yards are impressive, but the guy had so many chances to redeem himself for his fumblitis. I rather have Belton back there because he's a does-everything-back: pass-blocks, can receive, and he's an elusive RB.

O'Brien's a great QB coach and recruiter, but he puts PSU in positions to lose games.

Good, I wouldn't want the Rams or the Cards to have a chance of drafting him.

Marcus Mariota - QB - Ducks

Oregon redshirt sophomore QB Marcus Mariota will return to school for the 2014 season.

"It is an honor to be a student at the University of Oregon and to have the opportunity to represent our institution on the football field alongside my teammates," said Mariota. "I look forward to earning my degree next year and to the rest of my career at this great University." This may surprise some, but the NFL buzz had been pointing in this direction for weeks. Mariota is an underrated mover in the pocket, but he could improve his placement next season. Derek Carr of Fresno State could move into the second ranked quarterback spot.

So the big ten announced DPOY and gave it to Borland from Wisconsin. Which is bullshit. Should be Shazier. Big ten is embarrassing.

Borland: 64 tackles, 4 sacks, 8.5 TFLs, 1 FF
Shazier: 85 tackles, 7 sacks, 22 TFLs, 4 FF

I doubt he's the first QB taken next year either, so they might have a chance at him then, as well. I don't know if I'd lose sleep over it, though.

Speaking of returning players, the 2015 draft looks much, much more exciting for me than the 2014 draft does. Obviously all of the drafts have their own potentially good prospects, but is shaping up to be one of my favorite classes overall (along with '11 obviously).
