Ifo was my draft crush a year ago, y'all are loving late to the party. I really wanted him to declare last year.

Amari Cooper is like everything I love in a WR prospect, unfortunately it's a year where we don't have a billion extra picks so there's next to no chance the Niners will be in range to draft him unless the wheels completely fall off from here. I like Parker a lot too.

lotta people who don't watch college football talkin about college football players in here

I usually work on Saturdays and my school has been poo poo most of my life except for that brief awesome period where we had Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch at the same time. I catch a few games when I can, but I'm definitely a much more dedicated NFL fan.

I would be thrilled with any of Strong, White, or Parker. They've all looked great from what I've seen of them. I already love Cooper but there's no way in hell he falls to the Niners.

DeVante Parker, Kevin White, or Jaelen Strong please, or trade down for a guard. Niners need DBs too but they've had enough success getting guys off the scrap heap/in the late rounds that I don't think that should be a priority in the first round.

All the WRs coming out this year are huge too, almost everyone's 6'1 or bigger and most of the top guys are like 6'3".

If the Raiders take an RB with a top 5 pick then they deserve everything that happens as a result.

Cooper is a lot like OBJ in that he's not a true physical freak but there's very few aspects of playing the position that he doesn't do well. If you got Beckham's rookie production out of your first round pick, even if it were 4th overall, would you complain?

What's the final draft order for teams outside the playoffs, out of curiosity? Gotta start fantasizing early this year.

Luck also has like the worst rushing game in the league so teams sell out against the pass all the time against him, and doesn't have an excellent defense on the other side of the ball to reduce the amount he has to play heroball.

But please, let's get into another 'people aren't praising the Seahawks enough' argument in the draft thread.

I like Strong, but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be taking him at 15. If they can't get White or Parker I'm hoping they trade down and still get Strong or pick up some OL help.

Kaepernick is working out with Jaelen Strong and Kevin White during the offseason, which almost certainly means nothing but let the speculation commence!

For once Kiper mocks a player I actually want to the Niners. We're probably not going to get him or Parker without moving up, though. :(

Jeter and Eli are the perfect faces for a NY franchise. They're both ugly goobers that don't take the media seriously. Their teammates love playing with them and they're both low ego, easily coached guys. Mark Messier was kinda like that too. Carmelo is also pretty cool in that he just gives a poo poo about money and his family and doesn't care about the media's circus around the Knicks.

Even Sanchez was a pretty good NY player. I don't know how many QBs coulda played for the Jets, sucked for years on end, then butt-fumbled without wanting to throw themselves off the George Washington bridge.

In what loving universe is Derek Jeter 'low ego'

Just outside (for various reasons): Stefon Diggs, Kenny Bell, DeAndre Smelter, Rashad Greene

There you go.

I would go White, Cooper, Parker, Strong personally but if the Niners get any of the top 3 at 15 I'd be ecstatic. Next to no chance of that actually happening though, so they'll probably trade down.

I have this pet theory Cooper was about as good as White is right now when he was a true freshman.

From a receiver skills perspective I agree with you, I love Cooper's level of polish considering his age. But White performed even higher than expectations at the combine, and while I think to some degree drills are overrated it's hard to find athletes as big as he is that can move like that.

Again, I'd be loving thrilled to have either on my team, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Even Parker I think is a stretch to fall to 15.

White was actually good in college though. He ran routes and everything.

e: I remember how terrified I was of the Niners taking Hill in that draft because of all the pre-draft speculation... and then they ended up taking the only guy less productive in that class. :suicide:

I worked 50-55 hours a week a few years back when I had an internship on top of my almost full-time job right after finishing college and that was plenty for me. I respect people who put that much value into their career but I don't think I would want that lifestyle.
