Ya'll deep as hell much the cap gonna soon bit you in the ass, it's time to start drafting replacements for offensive players not named Kaep and Itipati.

yeah we're gonna have some turnover on both sides of the ball but we do have at least 13 picks to play with yet again:shaq:

i can see us letting go of a lot of our FA-to-be simply because we'll have a lot of money tied up to future extensions. extending kaep/aldon are no-brainers and at this point i'd pay crabtree which would leave iupati as the odd man out. it's clear as day how much crab means to our offense and especially kaep

I would hate to be the one to pass on Manziel, but I would also hate to be the one to invest all that time and money into him and have it not pan out. It's a tough dilemma for these teams picking high. I think it is really 50/50 with him right now. Luckily, the financial investment with the new rookie scale isn't as big as it used to be but still, missing on a franchise QB will set you back a few years. JFF's mechanics are just SO bad. Dude routinely makes throws while jumping in the air, off his back foot, weird ass spinning throws, etc. I know :smugfavre: did the same kinda shyt but he had a cannon arm, JFF doesn't. Still, he just has that "it" factor and if he goes to a team that builds its offense around him he will be fine.

WR class is crazy this year. Here is how I rank them right now but I need to watch more of them..

1.) Sammy Watkins

2.) Marqise Lee

3.) Mike Evans

4.) Allen Robinson

5.) Brandin Cooks

6.) Odell Beckham

BUST: Kelvin Benjamin --- Too big, too slow, too inconsistent. I look at him and see Mike Williams (USC), and he isn't even 1/4 as dominant in college as Mike was, so he got no chance in the NFL :camby:

I love Cooks id take him over any wr after the top three the only knock on him is his height but hes almost 5'11 if Austin can get drafted high at 5'8 no reason this nikka cant

way too much emphasis put on quarterbacks these days.

and as already stated, a number of teams are about to waste a high 1st round pick on average quarterbacks.

bridgewater is the only qb worth such a high pick, yet the texans might trade the pick.

manziel is a gamble but he'll at least draw revenue. if i was the browns, i would give hoyer another shot. he was kinda ballin before he got hurt. plus campbell had an okay year. i would just ride with them thru next year, and if that doesnt pan out, theres better QBs to choose from in the 2015 draft.

those other teams looking at QBs, man, theyre better off rolling with the mike vick experiment or something.

Dudes only good in the redzone

Big wrs have been busts all the time, plus he's old and is the best he will ever be at this point.

I agree so many good wr and if you looked at last years draft the one position that teams reaped the most benefits from was wr, Allen, Goodwin, woods, Patterson,

Someone might get away with moving him to TE.

Yep... that's why I have concerns about Mike Evans too. I THINK he will be the exception and have a great career, but I really wanna see what his 40 time is and what he actually weighs at the combine. I know Alshon Jeffrey is a big guy but he ran a 4.4 at the combine. I dont think Evans is gonna run that. If Evans weighs in at 235 ish and runs a slow 40 I can see him falling in the draft.

But you know what... you need an elite QB to compete. It's not any teams left in the playoffs that don't have an elite QB. If you get one you're golden for the next 10+ years.
