2013 NFL Draft Discussion

[The_Wise_One]

Hopefully this draft goes just as good if not better than last year's for the Bucs

No doubt they cleaned up last year. I was so mad that they stole Lavonte.

Where do the Bucs need help? Corners maybe?

[TheShizNo1]

Everywhere on defense really. And Oline depth.

I find it hard to see them going away from the secondary. If Milliner is gone, I look for them to go after Elam. Possibly Rhodes, but Elam would be the better pick in my opinion.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft Discussion

I wish the Bengals could/would trade up to get a LB because that is their biggest need.

I'd much rather them get a pass rusher in one is their before a secondary player. a good front seven can hide the back four. The opposite usually doesn't happen.

Te'o may drop to them with the way he played in the National Championship Game.

If the Bengals front four job involve keeping the Mike clean, than he'll be alright there. I still feel if any team drafts him expecting him to shed a lot of blocks is gonna be making a big mistake.

I have a feeling a team ahead of the Lions is going to troll and take Milliner and we draft another defensive lineman. I wont complain if we can't resign Avril and have to replace him and KVB both who just got released. Though if Jarvis Jones projects as a OLB then I'll take it. Anything to upgrade the LB and DB core.

Still would rather have Milliner though.

I'm almost sure not many will expect that with the way he was handled by the pro caliber line talent Bama has/had.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles took Milliner, especially if Joeckel is taken before 4.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft Discussion

I'm no expert on prospects or the draft (Next to nothing in terms of college coverage over here). Generally speaking, any information I need on these guys is pretty much from media sources.

But so far this seems like this could be one of the more poor drafts in recent years. Especially at QB.

One guy I do like the look of is that Dion Jordon. He biiiig. Plus he has played both DE and TE which teams could be interested in.

Yeah, you're right on the money about the strength of the class. The exceptions are defensive tackle and rush linebacker, where there are some really great, promising prospects.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft Discussion

This is also a strong Safety class.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft Discussion

Not too familiar with this year's draft class either, but:

Mike Mayock on pre-draft conference call: "We probably have better depth than we've had in the last 10 years."

Take that for whatever it's worth.

Everything I've read so far jives with the assertion that this draft class is by no means top-heavy, however; a change from last year for sure.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft Discussion

I think we (and I put myself at the center of the front lines) rate the value of a draft class based on the potential of the QBs or skill position players that appear to have HOF potential. Unless you're an insane college fball fan, it's hard to really know how deep it is in the other positions. I have a feeling this draft will have more long term starters than we expect... there just doesn't appear to be a real "face" of the draft.
