I raise my only functioning thumb up to you, sir.
Curious what Dr. Jene thinks about rizzler's other thumb.curious what Dr Jene thinks about demario at 79
I'm trying to find my own brand of clarity and get my draft board ready to be published tonight/tomorrow, but Demario is very likely to be a mid-third / early-fourth round value on my board. That'd put him comfortably in my top 50.ETA: Bloom and I generally have very different philosophies in the 3rd-5th round. I'm much more willing to value a second/third tier IDP prospect over a fourth/fifth tier RB/WR prospect, regardless of positional scarcity arguments, etc.Looks like we agree in a lot of places on the relative tiers, however.curious what Dr Jene thinks about demario at 79
agree. I have 1.09 in a league. If 1.07-8 are affordable I'll move up. If not, it's going to be Jeffery at 9.Pick 1.08 looks like a great pick to target in trades.You're guaranteed a pretty decent prospect.
Polk is talented, Brown used to be.I'm curious about Bryce Brown. Polk makes the list as 35, Philly chose Brown in 7th when they could have chosen Polk. I would guess Brown makes the list at least somewhere in the top 100 - thoughts?

He's had 3 carries since 2009 so I think it's possible.Did he forget how to play?Polk is talented, Brown used to be.I'm curious about Bryce Brown.

He went to Miami.Looking at it closer the realfor me is Michael Egnew. Pre-Draft he's a "nice H-Back/Slot TE" who could move up 10-20 spots depending on where he goes. But after the draft he drops 25 spots and becomes only a "project TE with limited upside."
Is he worth wasting a roster spot for 2-3 years? I saw Mallet get drafted as Brady's replacement in almost every league last year, and now he is on the waiver wire in almost every league.Why so down on Osweiler? He's flawed but obviously the Broncos think he can eventually be their starter and he gets to learn behind Peyton.
I agree. Luck will be one of the top 5 athletic starting QBs in the league from the get go. The fact that he is also very cerebral, ran a pro style offense and controlled the playcalling at the line of scrimmage, and can make all the throws puts him in the elite prospect category.I think that comparison of Luck to Matt Ryan is a little odd. His combine numbers are closer to Cam Newton's than Ryan. He's bigger, faster and stronger than ryan. He's not the athlete that Rg3 is ( who is, really), but he's a significantly talented athlete, and I think it's the synergy of Luck's athleticism, and his passing skills that make him an exciting prospect.
Top 5? Doubt it...Mike VickCam NewtonAaron RodgersRobert Griffin IIIAnd if they start:Jake LockerRyan TannehillTim TebowThere's probably others but that was off the top of my head.I agree. Luck will be one of the top 5 athletic starting QBs in the league from the get go.
Those are the only guys I would say are more athletic. Moot point really. I'm the same height and more athletic than Tom Brady. Doesn't make me a great QB.QB is largely about mental talent, and I think Luck excels there.Top 5? Doubt it...Mike VickCam NewtonRobert Griffin IIIJake LockerI agree. Luck will be one of the top 5 athletic starting QBs in the league from the get go.
It's tough to tie up a roster spot but it normally (outside of Cam) takes that long for a player to become a top QB. Both Mallett and Osweiler are 4th round rookie picks and cheap stash. As for Mallet being on the waiver wire, I can guarantee when Brady even catches a cold people will be racing to pick him up. Unless you have a very short bench there is probably someone you can cut to make room for QB's with this upside.'Max Power said:Is he worth wasting a roster spot for 2-3 years?

I keep seeing people on this board say degenerative hip but haven't seen this elsewhere. I thought his problems were his shoulders. Does he also have a hip problem? If so, does anyone have a link to a reliable report?'Craig_MiamiFL said:Polk his upright style and degenerative hip won't last long in the NFL.
I thought it was Lamar miller that had the shoulder issue. You might be getting them mixed up.I keep seeing people on this board say degenerative hip but haven't seen this elsewhere.

He's the 3rd best Missouri tight end in the last 5 years, neither of the others did anything in the NFL.Egnew is the new Finley buddy. 92nd for a 3rd round pick under a new regime wanting to overhaul the roster and also have announced they are building thru the draft? I'll take the under on the 92.
Lamar Miller had shoulder surgery after his season ended.Chris Polk had labral issues with his shoulder over a year ago, I think. It was suggested that may have had something to do with his ability to lift weights and a contributing factor to his lack of definition at the Senior Bowl. There were reports swirling -- nothing "official" -- that Polk had a degenerative hip condition in recent days. Polk flatly and hotly denied the rumors himself.I thought it was Lamar miller that had the shoulder issue.

I have read this comment 3 times and I have no idea what it means. Perhaps the fourth time will be the charm?'coolnerd said:More a harmeless jab than anything, the most predictable the Bloom 100 is the number of WR/RB who are 2nd guy taken who are "one to go after" or higher rated even theough the NFL or team does not seem to have it rated that way. Just long term observation versus studied and critical comment.
Bloom frequently sticks to his guns in the post-draft version. If he ranks WR A ahead of WR B in the pre-draft feature and a team takes both, but in the reverse of how Bloom originally ranked them (i.e. Cincinnati drafting Mo Sanu before Marvin Jones), he'll still recommend you target the later draft pick first.I have read this comment 3 times and I have no idea what it means.

I understand liking the talent but he was M. Jones was drafted in the 5th, two rounds after Sanu to a team that already has a superstar WR - not to mention a good, young TE. There is zero upside there.Bloom frequently sticks to his guns in the post-draft version.
