JFF falling to the Cowboys would make draft history...it'd also cause a poo poo storm for an undeserving Romo.

If Manziel fell to Dallas and they took him it would amuse me so yeah sure what the hell It's not like I'm expecting anything unreasonable from the draft like "win more games"

LARGE THE HEAD posted:Nawrocki is completely right about Colt Lyerla, Jeremy Hill and even Clowney. The team that drafts Clowney knows they're not getting a leader of men but a superfreak human being that can rip running backs' heads off. Clowney has never once demonstrated leadership capabilities at South Carolina, in large part because he doesn't have to. He at the very least could point out things more specifically, i.e. Manziel skipping the Manning passing camp. As it is now he uses weird vague dog-whistley language.

"Colt Lyerla is a cokehead who might be going to jail for a class C felony who also quit on his team the week before" doesn't make for good copy imo

All of that is known by NFL organizations. If he's on hook for a felony then that's popping up. Narwocki is writing for us regular folk so he avoids direct condemnations in favor for vague bullshit

Mayock talking about JFFquote:"The first tape I put in was Alabama and I put the tape down about two hours later and said 'Wow! That was awesome.' It was really fun to watch. He makes throws, he allows other players to make plays, he gives (receiver) Mike Evans a chance to make plays, he extends plays. He was like a combination of Fran Tarkenton and Doug Flutie. This poo poo gets me hot.

Manziel is very generous, he'll give receivers a chance to make plays, cornerbacks a chance to make plays, linebackers a chance to make plays...

Well, one of those guys was good. After following the run rich run link in the other thread I for some reason have been glancing at these way too early mock drafts nfl.com has up. Currently a clean sweep for Clowney #1 overall according to them, Rams take an OT of some flavor, half the people think the Jags will draft Manziel as the first overall QB at #3.

I'd be surprised if they took anyone at #2 given that they're supposedly locked into Bradford for at least another year, but that's not really meant as actually analysis at this point. Well maybe they mean it that way, but I look at it as trivia to laugh at later when Clowney runs a 5.0 or Manziel skips his interviews or whatever ridiculous stuff happens between now and the draft.

What do people think of Louis Nix III? There's buzz that the Packers may draft another DL and I want to get my hopes up before experiencing yet another crushing disappointment of a highly drafted Packers DL.

I don't know how often I've seen such a big discrepancy between how Clowney is portrayed in these scouting reports and how South Carolina actually feels about him (Cam Newton is probably another good example). Judging from all the poo poo that keeps getting written about him, you'd think his teammates considered him a cancer, Spurrier was tired of him, and the fans were more than ready to see him move on. That couldn't be farther from the truth, and it's getting old seeing dudes literally make poo poo up to tar and feather him with.
