I will watch on NFLN. I like Mayock.

It's interesting in Shanahan's press conference when he mentions the strength of this year's draft and picking in rounds 2-4. He mentions offensive line, wide receivers, and defensive tackle. He never says corner or safety. I wonder if this is a smokescreen or if he's really down on this draft's dbs.

It could even signal that he thinks the draft is so deep with DBs that quality players can still be had in rounds 5-7...

We will take a WR with our first pick., or anything that will help RG3

A lot of noise about Buffalo taking Nassib with the 8th pick. Horrible horrible idea, that would put them back even more IMO.

[FRPLG]

Lot of people like Nassib all of a sudden and Marone was his college coach. He knows the kid.

If TM was involved with this party then it shows a concerning lack of judgement at this point. Not that he can't have a party and throw down with his friends and family or that dumbass "1st round" stuff. The issue is that the optics of such an event being publicized like that are pretty easy to predict. So either he is too stupid to understand how he is perceived (which matters when it comes to getting drafted) or too stupid care. Best thing he can do is keep his head and work to make sure everyone firmly believes in his reclamation. This type of thing puts a dent in that approach.

In the grand scheme of things it means nothing to the guys pulling the trigger at the draft. No one raised or lowered TM on their draft boards because of the party sign.

great chart; very informative. I'm so psyched for tomorrow though. A great player will fall to us!

Hell I was thinking we can probably trade back with San Fran since they are trying to get rid of picks and they can get a TE like Ertz or Escobar and we can get a couple of additional picks and maybe the whole Swearinger/Rambo/Mathieu crowd can all be happy!

I was listening to bill polian the other day and he had Nassib behind Landry Jones and geno. I'm js picking him at 8 would be like ponder going 11 to Minnesota a few years ago.

As to Nassib, true, lots of people like him so he may not be there in the 2nd round where Buffalo picks and several folks in ahead of them in the 2nd might address QB w/ 2nd pick (Cleveland, Jax, Oakland, Arizona, Phil.).

With that said, is Nassib the BPA value at 8th for Buffalo? Seems to me most of the big talent in the 6 - 12 range is OL/DL. While that's necessary stuff, I think they could reasonably expect to get quality linemen later in the 1st and 2nd. It seems to me, the best thing for them to do (if Nassib is the target) would be to trade down to later in the round if possible. I would not be surprised to see SF jump up to grab T. Austin and then Buffalo take Nassib at 31. Heck, at 8th, with Austin being the first real "playmaker" on the board, there could be a bit of a bidding war at 8th.

I think Nassib is, at best, the 2nd QB off the board and more likely the 3rd or 4th. As long as Buff can stay in the first round, they will likely get him. Particularly if Geno is still on the board at 8.

As for Geno - I see a Jason Campbell 2.0 redux. Not sure why and I would defer to those who watch the college players more, but it is just one of feelings I get when I hear his talents described.

I don't see it. Geno has a quicker tighter release then JC and is much more mobile. I think Geno will have a better career then JC.
