I think Bridgewater, Mariota, Manziel, Carr, Hundley and MAYBE Boyd will all go ahead of Mett.


Don't quit ur job. Lol. Maybe Boyd? Boyd and Bridgewater are top 2. Then Mariota. Then toss up Carr and Mett. Manziel is second rounder.

The difference is less than it used to be. The reasoning I have heard is the players want to get to their 2nd contract as soon as possible. This is the big money contract. They know they only have a certain amount of time to play in the league before it likely comes to an end. Make their money while they can.

Maybe you should do some research. Bridgewater and Mariota are the clear cut 1 and 2. McShay even had Mariota higher last I checked. He also had Hundley and Manziel in the later parts of the first. Carr and Boyd are top of the 2nd and Mett is mid 2nd.

Things have changed since the beginning of the season. Boyd is not as high as he was.

l. Collins projected by Sporting News to go in 1st two rounds; Mett and Loston only other Tigers projected... all three in round 2




Seems like last year some folks got ridiculed for suggesting that we go for more linemen. Gotta have foresight, Boys. You always need quality depth at online. A two-deep is never enough......sheesh.

Seriously.

Last night I was trying to think if I've ever seen an LSU defensive starter worse than Welter, I couldn't come up with one. He is unbelievably bad.

These are honestly the only two I'm sure of would go before Mett. Mariota reminds me of Tannehill, and he aint all that great. Manziel is no Russell Wilson either. Carr and Hundley I could see, but that would be based more on preference IMO.

6'5 230 with a cannon and coached by Cam Cameron in a prostyle offense.

How because my thoughts do not match your view on these players?

We have young talent and Welter is holding them together.

Boyd's stock has gone down some as the season has gone on.

Mariota is higher than Bridgewater on some boards. He's pretty good.

Carr is built like Mett, except he's a lot more accurate and not quite as still in the pocket.

Loston is exactly what a strong safety in the nfl is. A great tackler and great hitter. He will be top 2 rounds easy. Chavis put him in some bad situations causing him to single cover good receivers.


It's a different NFL these days. With 300 yard passing games, and player safety being such an emphasis, the days of the big, hard hitting safety are numbered. You're going to see more CBs convert to safety.

No because you're either a full-fledged idiot or a massive troll, and I have a hard time believing anyone is actually that dumb. Therefore, you're probably a troll.
