Most Likely: Bortles - fits the flash in the pan mold of guys like Akili Smith

Mixed Feelings: Sammy Watkins - So many high end wr's flame out

Not A Chance: Greg Robinson - Legit Pro Bowl talent at OT

What say you?

I say every year you could name every player in the first 3 rounds of the draft and be right on the majority of them.

Sammy Watkins has been the best WR in college since his freshmen year. He should not be labeled a "potential bust".

Kind of a fringe top 10 projected pick, but I am not too high on Justin Gilbert.

He was being recruited as an OG by LSU.

I could easily see Bortles getting grabbed by a team like Jax, because they are stupid.

I know that Watkins is great. Many times that does not translate to the pros. That's why i said I was mixed on it. It really depends on where you go as well.

I was going to say JM but I do think if he gets into the right system he can be an Rg3/Foles type player. I don't think he will ever be able to be an elite drop back passer but I think he can make it work in the right situation.

IMO Jake Matthews is the only guy that is a lock to make numerous Pro Bowls.

I agree here. I think it's going to take the right system. He could definitely work in a Saints type system, which is comprised of mostly shotgun and pass sets. I know he won't be there at 27 but I can see him being successful.

I agree as well. I nearly put Matthews based on his lineage. I think those two are interchangeable.

Clowney

Bortles

Tre Mason

Mike Evans

For my wildcard, I'd say Latimere. I think he starts off rough but then picks up big time in his 2nd year. Kind of like Josh Gordon.
