    I'm going to predict the Bills or Jets are the first team to take a receiver. If that's the case, Patterson will be the pick.

      Jets have much more pressing needs than WR.

      FWIW I'd take Cordarelle over Austin. Easy.

        Ya but let's be honest - just about every position on the roster could be upgraded for the Jets. So is that really saying much? They could easily draft a receiver.

          The Jets usually have more pressing needs than who they draft in the first.

            The Jets still have Holmes and trying Hill out. They could use safties, corners, linebackers, offensive linemen, a running back, a quarterback, and a TE.

            Meh to WR.

              The Jets can use everybody in the damn draft lol..... literally

              My Eagles NEED to upgrade the defense

              We can use a safety, Defensive tackle, Offensive tackle or Guard, and another outside linebacker

                  The more I watch of EJ Manuel the more I like him. He could end up being a pretty good player.

                  Watching Tyler Bray with Gruden was so frustrating. Bray has all the talent in the world, but he just doesn't get it. As a QB, you have to be able to win games above the shoulder and Bray can't do that.

                    I agree completely on the subject of Bray. He's so talented, but he can't seem to put the mental side of the game together.

                    As for Manuel, I don't think that there's anything that separates him as a 1st or 2nd rounder. In my mind, he's a 3rd-4th round talent. He played with a stacked defense in an average conference, and he constantly underachieved. He has a strong arm, but he's much too conservative for my taste.

                      He's going to be a steal if he falls out of the second round. I'd take him over Ponder, personally. I loved Ponder in college, just thought he was a reach in the first, I just like Manuel a little more and believe he's more talented.

                        How can people be so high on Manual when he....
                        -Isn't accurate. This is the one trait that correlates to success in the NFL more than any other. You have to throw into tight windows with defenders draped on your receivers. Manual played with superior athletes in an average conference and still struggled to put it on the money.
                        -Lacks awareness / anticipation.....
                        -Constantly underperformed in big games.....

                        Those knocks right there knock him out of consideration in the first few rounds for me. My thoughts are I'll take Barkley with all his limitations over Manual, because I know I'm getting an accurate arm and a kid who threw with anticipation in college.

                        Just my two cents.

                          Am I the only one not seeing a QB worthy of a top 10 pick this year?

                          I just don't see it. Now I haven't studied these QB's in depth, but I saw a couple games each of Manuel, Geno, and Barkley. Barkley is the only one of those 3 I've watched and thought he could be a starting NFL QB. Plus I think the teams looking at QB's could really use other positions just as much.

                          Thoughts?

                            Under the new CBA though, it's more than worth it to take the gamble since there are no more JaMarcus Russell/Sam Bradford-level contracts being handed out to top picks. If the possibility is there to get a franchise QB for your team for the next decade then you have to take it.

                              The question is...are any of those 3 Franchise Quarterbacks? By that I mean are they good enough to elevate a Franchise from bottom barrel/middle of the pack to being a consistent contender year in/year out?

                              I feel like there isn't much separating everyone in the Draft or a difference between someone going in the Top 10 and someone going in the Bottom 10 of the 1st rd.

                                I wouldn't say EJ has underperformed in big games. He won what I think 4 bowl games, against Clemson last season he put up an Heisman performance, etc. His accuracy isn't quite there but it improved drastically senior year and with more consistent mechanics it can improve again in the NFL.

                                I've never been his biggest fan, but he's got a ton of potential with his speed/size, arm strength, and phenomenal leadership skills. 1st round talent maybe not because he may not start right away, but I would certainly live him in the 2nd or later if I was a team
