2014 NCAA Season / 2015 NFL Draft

[BINGO]

what would be interesting is if you re-post your top ten from last year.

It's in the other thread, "2013 NCAA Season / 2014 NFL Draft" which was created by Sick. Not sure where that thread went.

I un-stickied it because the draft's over. The thread is still there though.

Ok. Thanks. I found it.


Deep,

It appears as though I didn't include my top ten in that particular thread (I do recall however in submitting one). It may have posted it in another thread pertaining to that particular subject (top rank players for next year)?! Anyway, I did however post a positional ranking in Sick's thread, not a top ten ranking.

mahalo Bingo, and sure enough......was interesting to see.

I think a week is long enough to move on to the next draft.

Amari Cooper. Poor man's Sammy Watkins?

Mr. Cooper Seems better at getting jump balls, seems like he has better hands, but Watkins seems like he gets open better. Your thoughts?

Here's my way-too-early sleeper guy nobody's talking about for some reason:

Baylor WR Antwan Goodley. This guy is one of the toughest receivers I've ever seen play. He's built like a big RB ready to run people over, but he's also really fast & has good hands. I don't know if he returns kicks, but he could be great at that; and I think he could be good enough to start in the NFL and put the hurt to some DBs.

He's listed at 5'10 220. If those numbers are true then the guy's gonna be a bowling ball. The only problems I see are I don't know how good he's going to be at getting jump balls, and he faced pretty lackluster defenses for the most part. Regardless, I think he's extremely underrated.

At the same time, is Baylor QB Bryce Petty overrated because of Goodley?

Thoughts on Ducks CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu?

Covers like the next Jason Verrett; is a more-than-willing hitter, but he's pretty small (like Verrett).

 

[NinerSickness]

Andrus Peat looks like a legit' OLT. He's probably the reason David Yankey was so overrated all season.

 

[NinerSickness]

Worst name in the draft: Todd Gurley.

Best name in the draft: Jaylen Strong?

...By the way, I'd love to see Jaylen Strong on the Niners next year. He's got some serious skillz.

Jaylen Strong is definitely a great prospect. I think at this point though I would prefer to go with Austin Hill. People seem to have forgotten the type of year he had in 2012:

 

[BINGO]

And to be frank with you my true #2 receiver on my ranking is actually Stefon Diggs. The only reason I omitted him from my top 10 is only because I don't know how he is responding back from that devastating knee injury he suffered last season. If he is able to bounce back at 100% then I will not hesitate to reveal him on my top 5 overall ranking. I think so highly of him as a player.

 

[RedneckNiner]

Gurley = Perfect Replacement for Gore... He runs ANGRY..... hes a bad bad man

 

[numone9er]

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say next year we go CB in round one unless we sign some via FA.

 

[deep9er]

then stay out of the NFC West.

 

[numone9er]

I'm not concerned. Let him come to the NFC West.

Austin Hill will definitely be a guy to watch this year & see how he comes back from that ACL tear.

Not as excited about your Terp boy Diggs. He's definitely nifty, but at his size I'd prefer a guy who's an absolute blazer like Brandin cooks. Diggs is a little skinny for my taste. But maybe he'll surprise me. Like we all know: it's WAY too early, and a bit obsessive to be breaking down players for a year from now.

That's pretty high. He looks NFL caliber, but I wouldn't place money on him starting over the Nebraska boys. Jamal Turner and Kenny Bell are two DJAXs on the same team. Can't wait to see them play this year

He's a dynamic player capable of taking over a game. He's not quite on the same level as Sammy Watkins, but he's a special player indeed in his own right.

Next year DEs class could be special. What do you think of USC's Leonard Williams?

Diggs = Poor man's Percy Harvin

I feel like he's a player you have to draw up special plays for. He's not as fast, strong, or laterally quick as Percy, but he has more strength than Percy had in college so I won't say it's something that's out of reach. He's a playmaker but not a top ten quality on the big board.

DE is more Sickness' forte.

But from USC there's another WR that's better than Diggs and his name is Nelson Agholor.

EDIT: Next year Diggs plays PSU. Certainly will keep an eye on the Diggs v. Amos matchup

Williams is good. He's long & powerful; a rare combination. Takes on a lot of double teams. Has a strong punch in his upper body. And he looks pretty quick for a guy listed at 290. I think he's gonna be picked way too high for the Niners to get him.
