So SS, you don't think a QB such as Pike in the 2nd is a possibility?

At the top of the second, Pike seems like a huge reach. He's a good, solid quarterback prospect with tools, and there's a lot to like about him, but he seems to profile as an NFL backup. I see a little bit of Tom Brady there, but for every instance that Brady got lucky enough to play early and develop into one of the better quarterbacks in NFL history (fulfilling all his potential), there were thirty or forty other possible routes that could have led to Brady being a career backup, or a worthless starter.

Pike could be an all-time great, I think, but I would not just take him in the second and hope nothing goes wrong on his development. He's nowhere near a finished product for a 23 year old, and that means career backup in about 85% of QB prospects.

I mean I guess it is. But my own somewhat educated guess say OT and/or LB is more likely in the 2nd round (and possibly 3rd if we get one). With QB and RB being in the 1st and 4th, or vice-versa.

I'll have more concrete info after the combine I'm sure. Last year it was pretty apparent form the start that Cushing, Rey Rey, and Orakpo were at the top of their list. This year it's not as clear.
