Hmmm, great observation there TK.

Jimmy & Teddy will be running from Clowney. Quick release important.

I would prefer Clowney and Mettenberger or Clowney and Garoppolo but yeah, it would be OK. It's not like the Jags and Teets aren't going to get anybody. I mean, they get to pick too. Law of averages says sooner or later they're going to eventually turn the corner too.

To me Savage at 2-1 says OB plans on winning in a couple of years, say maybe "2016" and I really don't want to hear that **** right now. Mettenberger or Garoppolo I think is starting by the end of 2014 unless Fitz just has us winning against bad competition but probably still starts opening day 2015.

Interesting.

I don't know what to think about Savage. I like that he played in the ACC & not the AAC. I think it says a lot that he was pretty much a walk on at Pitt & got the starting job after having to learn the offense on his own.

I don't know how I feel about using 2-1 on him though. With Mettenberger, Carr, Murray, Fales, Shaw, Boyd, Renner, Lynch, etc... all still on the board. Oh year, McCarron too. I'd really love to see their board if we take Savage there & know what they're thinking... of course that'll never happen. Well, McClain will let us know what they're thinking.

Still, from what little I do know, Savage played well when he played. I don't see why he would be out the whole year, especially if we're not winning.
 
Derek Carr is available at 2.1 and we take Tom Savage....:choke: This is why I hate these so called draft experts, he's just throwing spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. He's changing his mock, being more controversial so that he'll get more notice and thus more hits on the company site.

I'd feel fine with it because that would be the guy our QB specialist Head Coach had decided was the best hunk of clay for him to mold into an NFL QB. He knows more about this stuff than I do.

2014 mock draft: Picks I'd make
The mock drafts I've put together over the past five months have been projections of the picks I think each team would make at that particular draft position. For this one, we're mixing things up a bit. The picks you see below are the players I would choose if making the picks for each team, not what I'm necessarily expecting to happen on draft night.

My colleague Mel Kiper started this concept a few years back with his "Grade: A draft" and now I'm stuck doing the same -- but it's actually a beneficial exercise because it's no longer about fitting pieces into a puzzle, but instead 32 independent and challenging decisions based purely on my own prospect and NFL roster evaluations. And it also reveals some interesting potential scenarios for the draft's first round.

One important note: There are no trades allowed in this exercise. In the situations where I'm not crazy about any of the options available to that team, I still have to come up with a pick.

With all of that out of the way, here are my choices for the 32 first-round picks.

1. Houston Texans: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
I've felt like I've been taking crazy pills lately in having to defend Clowney as the potential No. 1 overall pick. I understand the concerns over his effort, but I feel as though those have largely been overblown, and you simply don't get many opportunities to draft a player this good; he's the most naturally talented defensive lineman I've ever evaluated. The Texans need a quarterback, but even though I think Blake Bortles should develop into a good NFL starter -- and I think coach Bill O'Brien would be great for Bortles' development -- I can't justify passing on Clowney (or any of the top elite four prospects in this draft, for that matter) to take him.

2. St. Louis Rams (from WAS): Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo

4. Cleveland Browns: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

5. Oakland Raiders: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M

6. Atlanta Falcons: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M

8. Minnesota Vikings: Blake Bortles, QB, UCF

9. Buffalo Bills: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina

10. Detroit Lions: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama

11. Tennessee Titans: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State

12. New York Giants: Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia

13. St. Louis Rams: C.J. Mosley, LB, Alabama

14. Chicago Bears: Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh

15. Pittsburgh Steelers: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU

16. Dallas Cowboys: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State

17. Baltimore Ravens: Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame

18. New York Jets: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State

19. Miami Dolphins: Marqise Lee, WR, USC

20. Arizona Cardinals: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville

21. Green Bay Packers: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville

22. Philadelphia Eagles: Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana

23. Kansas City Chiefs: Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota

24. Cincinnati Bengals: Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
25. San Diego Chargers: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
26. Cleveland Browns (from IND): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
27. New Orleans Saints: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
28. Carolina Panthers: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
29. New England Patriots: Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State
30. San Francisco 49ers: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
31. Denver Broncos: Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
32. Seattle Seahawks: Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame

Best remaining prospects:

Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame
Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
Dee Ford, OLB/DE, Auburn
Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech

McShay's been smoking something if he thinks a QB won't be selected until pick #8...and that the next one won't come off until pick #20.

As stated, that mock is who he'd select not who he thinks each team would select. Just another way to pump out another mock.
