The Next Generation Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It will be Wentz. If I could pick any one player out of the entire draft, Tunsil. If they had stayed at #8 Stanley. If they had stayed at #13 Stanley/Elliot or BPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AX2RUN Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Would rather take Dak in the 3rd than Cook in the 1st See my last response on this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Most mocks I've seen have Cook going 1 pick later to the Browns if not to Denver at 31, so im not sure how you classify him as a reach. I could go on for pages about how wrong mocks have been in zillions of ways, but I classify him as a reach because he is inflated due to his W/L record, as if he carried the team on his back. He didn't, and he is not low 1st/high 2d round worthy IMO. Neither is Hackenberg, which a few mockheads are STILL talking about as low 1st/high 2d material, which is absurd.

BeeR Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Paxton Lynch if the price is right.DL is hella deep this year, but then so is QB. Why do you keep saying "hella" fat ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ezekiel Elliot will go higher than most are predicting. Colts need edge rusher or o-line help in the worst way. That means Grigson will not address either area in the 2016 draft. He will then call us all idiots because he has to "stay true to his board" and draft "best player available".

DiehardSteeler Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 For the Steelers, Eli Apple would be nice, really doubt he will be there though so my next man up is William Jackson. Better be a CB, or I will not be happy. For the Jags, I'd love to see Ramsey drop to 5, but I think he will go to Dallas at 4. Jack is a perfect fit, as long as they are comfortable with his knee, otherwise Bosa. The Jags are setting pretty to get an impact player on D. If Tunsil drops to them, I think they will trade down a few spots and still get a player they really like. That would be the ideal situation, more draft picks.

michaelredd9 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) he is not low 1st/high 2d round worthy IMO. Cook has all the tools to be an NFL quarterback. The only real knock on him is that he wasn't voted a captain on the MSU football team. He is probably just a bit of a jerk like Philip Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger. Below average quarterbacks are getting paid close to $20 million a year. A low 1st round pick is a very small price to pay for a potential franchise quarterback.

paygilsd Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How good is Elliot? Is he comparable to Peterson as some have exaggerated? Seems more like an Eddie Lacy ceiling to me - and that's not enough to justify a #4 pick, or even a top 10 pick to me. Praying Ramsey drops to 4. The Dallas Secondary desperately needs him.

He's pretty damn good. It's hard to compare anyone to AP considering how complete of a RB he is, but I don't think it's unfair. My dad's a huge Buckeyes fan so i've seen a good deal from him. He's an incredibly good blocker (both run and pass), which could create for some interesting plays if he landed on a team with a mobile QB. Fantastic runner too, especially after contact, and can always bust one loose for 50+ yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Zeke has an uncanny ability to break away. Quick as all get out. Great in both facets. Can block. He's a complete back and wherever he lands, he'll upgrade the offense immensely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch a ton of college football, so this is what I was looking for - someone whose seen a lot of games from watching OSU. The fact that he's only 20 and could have a shelf like of at least 7-8 years is what makes him most intriguing to me. If he doesn't go to DAL, how likely is he to fall all the way to CHI at 11? I don't see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 You're kidding I hope. Did it sound like I was kidding? Why even respond if you're not going to support your argument? Do you think that people here respect your opinion so much that you can make blanket statements without support and they'll accept it? Trust me, they do not. 90% of your posts are negative and rude and without any substance. Cook played in a complicated pro-style offense and prospered. He has a strong, accurate arm. He is 6'4" and athletic. The only knock on him is his personality. Jon Gruden thinks he is the best quarterback in the draft. Mayock and Jaworski both like him and are only concerned about his personality. Or do you hope they are kidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud29 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 He has a strong, accurate arm...The only knock on him is his personality. His accuracy is a MUCH bigger concern than his d00sh factor. He's never had a season completion percentage of 59 or more, and his high water mark of 58.7% came as a sophomore - it's decreased every season since then. Compare his accuracy numbers to other high-caliber QB prospects: Connor Cook: 58.7%, 58.1%, 56.1% Jared Goff: 60.4%, 62.1%, 64.5% Carson Wentz: 63.7%, 62.5% Paxton Lynch: 58.2%, 62.7%, 66.8% Jameis Winston: 66.9%, 65.3% Marcus Mariota: 68.5%, 63.5%, 68.3% Teddy Bridgewater: 64.5%, 68.5%, 71% Blake Bortles: 68.2%, 62.9%, 67.8% Derek Carr: 62.6%, 67.3%, 68.9% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
