Next Year is going to have at least 13 players that would have been selected #1 overall this year.

If braxton has a breakout yr he could be another one.

Maybe not 13, but the top of next years class is definitely looking stronger than this years.

I dont know, I think Henderson is going to grade out better than either tackle taken this year, and I think he will be the 3rd overall rated tackle next year.

Lets not forget Jockel was not even the best Tackle on his team. Jake Matthews probably will be the #1 tackle. DJ Fluker was taken in the top 11, and he was not the best tackle on his team either. A guy whos name I cannot spell will grade out better and at LT.

These 3 guys alone, IMO, would have all been taken before the 2 Tackles this year. Add in the Freakish players at the other positions, I think 13 might be a conservative guess.

But it is all a guess. We will see. Personally this is why I was 100% happy about not giving up a 1st or 2nd next year for Revis. We can use that 2nd to move up in the first.

I think the tackle position will be much stronger next year than it was this year. Taylor Lewan from Michigan, Cyrus Kouandijo from Alabama, Jake Matthews from aTm will all better prospects than Fisher and Joeckel, IMO. And I think Clowney will be a better prospect than Dion Jordan. The QBs will be better as well.

Scouts and coaches have said there were 4 players they graded out still in school that would have been taken #1 this year.

Lewan is not getting rave reviews right now from what I am hearing.

Who? Jake Matthews, Clowney, Bridgewater and Cyrus K?

 

[Tubbs1518]

Didn't really say. Clowney and Bridgewater are almost certain.

 

[Camfantasy]

Idk about Cyrus K going over the first three OTs off the board this year.....but I would definitely expect him to surpass that level next year. If he progresses and stays healthy, he will almost definitely be a top-5 pick.

After watching Bridgewater over and over and over (it has become unhealthy) he is an elite QB prospect as long as he can stay healthy and make the standard progressions. So much fun to watch him. I know Clowney is a freak but if I am rebuilding a team I take Bridgewater No.1

Depends on who you are. I don't think the Jets will since they took Geno, I don't think a couple other teams do either.

I agree but if I am starting a team and don't have a QB, then I take him.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Maybe. I'll have to see how this year plays out. Clowney might be a once in a generation player. I have him as a better prospect than Suh was. I'm not sure Bridgewater is yet.

Don't forget about Antonio Richardson. He always really impressed me with his pass protection, and I was shocked to see how big he is after I saw how well he moved. He might even be my favourite LT in the entire draft. And Seantrel Henderson could make a move up the draft boards if he gets his stuff together (work ethic, health, etc). Henderson actually played pretty well against Bjoern Werner except for one play when Werner got him off balance with a punch & got a sack.

The LT class looks crazy good. In fact, every single position in the draft looks stronger at the top in 2014 than in 2013 except probably guard. '13 might be deeper, but '14 has a lot more top-level talent IMO.
