Draft Tidbits

At nfl.com there was an article on players who will be better in the NFL than in college. Couple of interesting players on the list including running back Peyton Barber from Auburn. Related to Marion Barber who was a very physical runner.

Leonard Floyd of Georgia was also listed and compared to Jason Taylor. I like Floyd, but seems like a better fit in a 3-4. Does have some really explosive speed and could end up being one of the best pass rushers from this group. Doesn't it seem like it's always easier to find pass rushers for a 3-4?

Was reading through some of the scouting reports and came across this for Jack Conklin: "That is a dude, right there. He was busting up Ohio State in the fourth quarter of that game not because he was more talented than those guys but because he just wanted it more. He's tougher than old beef jerky. He fits in our division." -- ­ NFC North scout.

Now that sounds like a player I want in Miami.

If Zeke of off the board at 13 and trading down is not possible, I wouldn't be disappointed if Conklin was the pick. In what seems like a lost season, might as well build from the inside out.

Zeke should absolutely not be in consideration at 13. No way.

Marion is one of my favorite backs ever, if Peyton has that running style in him sign me up.

You always consider BPA. It doesn't mean you act on it and draft a RB at 13, but you always have the BPA conversation and compare that player vs your highest ranked "need" position.

Next year's draft could be LOADED at RB with all the stud underclassmen.

Yeah, I loved his running style. Haven't seen Peyton Barber player, but will check out some highlights on youtube.

Need at DE, need at OL, need at CB, could definitely use a young stud at LB. There are plenty of fine running backs round 3 and later that would be just fine.
