He's had a good PR group, but I also think he'll be a fun QB to watch in the NFL. I have no idea if he will succeed or not, but I definitely don't think he's the guy who will stay at home on a Friday night.

I'm not sure if it's legit but even if it's not, it really coincides with how I feel about Manziel (we need a Gregggg nickname for him, how about Johnfoot?)<br /><br />I feel like he had some PR firm doing everything they could in their power to get him to not seem like a lazy, trust fund asshole and destroy his NFL stock.<br /><br />I'm interested to see if he has the work ethic to make it as an NFL QB.Koleslawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125335173783188290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-18224643830137939182014-05-09T08:20:01.371-04:002014-05-09T08:20:01.371-04:00Eric, I got lucky the Ravens took Mosley.

I think he would have been the guy (like you said) if he was available. <br /><br />JB, except for the horrific grammar issue in that sentence where I left out a word, I did get that one right. It's annoying. Josh Norris of Rotoworld had Easley as his #4 prospect and he probably could have gone higher than Top-15 if he were healthy. The Patriots can afford to be patient and they very well could have gotten a monster.

It's almost like it's conflicting information. You probably know more about the Titans than I do and Dennard wouldn't be a bad pick in that spot. I do think it's a corner if I had to guess.<br /><br />*Twitter<br /><br />Eric, I don't know how to judge Manziel. He has all of the things QB's aren't supposed to have in that he's not the "ideal" height, he takes too many chances and misses open receivers. But still, there's something about him that only hyperbole can explain. It's sort of annoying. <br /><br />I wouldn't worry about Mosley's injuries and if they take him then they could easily go safety in the 2nd round.

The "...I really think Mosley is the way to go. The "injury history" concerns me about as much as Eddie Lacy's turf toe "issue." <br /><br />In all honesty, I am missing the Johnny Manziel forest for the Packers trees. Manziel is the big story here. I'm 95% sure he is Cade McNown reincarnate, and is going to be a huge bust. I'm also really hoping he doesn't go in the first round because he annoys me. Regardless, he will be the story. I love the draft!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518535759517668376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-32205066838971625372014-05-08T16:15:08.336-04:002014-05-08T16:15:08.336-04:00I kept seeing ASJ mocked there and it was tempting...I kept seeing ASJ mocked there and it was tempting, but I thought the Packers have more needs on the defensive side of the ball and that's the better way to go. <br /><br />I like Ebron and Amaro, but I also tend to overrate tight ends and their ability. So you think Shazier is the way to go? I saw him mocked a lot of places to Green Bay. Seemed too obvious. <br /><br />It is possible teams are looking for the next Earl Thomas and that causes guys like Ha Dix, Ward, Pryor to be overrated. I like Pryor a lot from what I've seen. <br /><br />I think Stanley Jean-Baptiste is overrated. I saw him at Nebraska and he's good, but not a 1st round pick. He's got the big, tall body and that's what GM's want now.

They have a few pretty good players at the position, and would be drafting based on receiving ability. I'm pretty sure that the current configuration of their roster suggests they need a TE who can block his arse off and catch a few balls considering Eddie Lacy is a beast. Guys like Ebron and Sefarian-Jenkins are not Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski, but that kind of TE is the player du jour, so they are getting overhyped. <br /><br />In terms of safety, it is a huge need, but AJ Hawk and Brad Jones are really subpar linebackers. They need help at a lot of positions on defense, and good linebackers would cover up a lot of the problems at safety. Besides that, the difference between Ha Dix and guys later in the draft isn't that big... A lot of draft pundits have correctly identified that guys like Pryor and Ha Dix aren't first round guys, but everybody wants the next Earl Thomas. <br /><br />Loving just calling him Ha Dix! If the Packers draft him, I will only refer to him as that!<br /><br />Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518535759517668376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-44919152056644950152014-05-08T16:05:51.291-04:002014-05-08T16:05:51.291-04:00Snarf, I did see that he posted it.

I don't miss an Easterbrook post. <br /><br />I think Pryor is a better fit for the Ravens from what I've read about him and how he plays. Of course I've read scouting reports and they could be wrong.

I read that's a possibility but thought the need at safety was bigger. I could be wrong or the Packers will just take a tight end. <br /><br />That's much like how Rivera loves his guys from Cal. <br /><br />My mock will be a mockery in about three hours. I have no doubt. It looks good to me now, until a team trades up to #2 and takes Manziel. Then mayhem starts.

Oh well. Just as an FYI, it is "Ha-Ha!!! Clinton-DIX". And yeah, they don't really need a safety because Sean Richardson went to Vanderbilt, which carries a lot of weight for Ted Thompson, according to various Packers beat writers. <br /><br />On a serious note, nice mock draft. I sincerely hope the Vikings don't get Aaron Donald... That dude has serious potential to damage Aaron Rodgers. Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518535759517668376noreply@blogger.com
