Barkley is definitely not going 1st overall. He might not even be going in the 1st round anymore. Obviously a lot will change concerning the QB's, but I think it's only going to get worse for Barkley when he works out and get's measured. He doesn't have a strong arm, he's short and he's just not physical enough.
There's tons of hype surrounding Mike Glennon. It's already been reported that if Scott Pioli remains GM of the Chiefs he'll likely take Star 1st overall and Glennon in the 2nd round. Who knows though, a lot can change.
Browns are in desperate need of a 4-3 passing-rushing outside linebacker. Our deepest and best aspect, by far, is the defensive line. Unless Moore can play OLB in the 4-3, I seriously doubt he will be on the Browns' radar. Although, I will admit these highlights against Florida are pretty impressive...
Would absolutely love to get Jarvis Jones, but it seems unlikely he will still be there at 6. Feel like he would fit in well with the scheme and the talent we have up-front would serve him well and allow him to focus on getting to the QB.

Moore could likely be a 4-3 OLB but is better suited for a 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE.

Agreed that he would be best as an OLB in the 3-4. I'm all for drafting the guy if he can play outside in the 4-3. He certainly has the raw talent to be a nice player.

I agree we will probably get a WR through FA but if we don't resign hartline you bet we get keenan allen if he's still available and they might still consider it if we resign him, but why would we need a DT? If we resign starks we don't even consider it and if we don't you bet your azz we move odrick back to his natural position where he has done well as a DT. Our biggest needs right now in order are.
WR (Self explanatory) CB (so ****ing bad too go look at the depth chart) DE (Opposite side of wake) OG(Richie is a horrible horrible guard and it's a disgrace he's considered a probowl alternate because people like his bad boy attitude) RT (Scrub currently playing there because jake long got hurt and we moved martin the rookie to LT which previously played RT)

Also, Ezekail Ansah is an absolute freak of nature athlete. But he's so damn raw at the moment, but he definitely could turn into an insane pass rusher. Same goes for Margus Hunt out of SMU.
How do you guys like Boyd as a future NFL QB? He looked great against LSU. The guy seemingly took a massive shot on every single down, still stood in the pocket, and made accurate passes while taking another shot after the throw.
That was one of the best performances I've seen from a QB in a while. One of his best weapons got injured for the game on the first play, too.
Oh, and Cooper will be the best offensive lineman in the draft.
Taylor Lewan would be a nice choice for the Dolphins. Especially since they may not re-sign Jake Long. He could play LT with Martin at RT.
I would prefer not wasting another 1st rounder on a OT and keep martin at LT his natural position he was drafted for. Which is why left RT as the last of top needs.
This is so crazy. If I were GM I couldn't honestly justify to myself taking one QB in the first round unless it was late. But no one late needs a QB so desperately that they will take one. I think we are going to see some of the biggest reaches this draft depending on how the trade market shakes out.
I hope the Eagles really build up some defensive depth this draft. And I'd be fine with either of the Texas A&M guys at 4. Babin is gone, Cole will be gone more than likely as well so a Moore/Graham combo would be a good at DE. Joekle would pretty much fix our offensive line. Peters/Mathis/whoever is healthy/Herremans/Joekle would be nice. I hope we add at least 5 defensive players this draft. I hope we get UConn's Blidi Wreh-Wilson. Dude is going to be a man at CB in the NFL. But the only problem is his stock could rise to a late first, early second and I don't know if the Eagles can take a CB that early. I'd prefer an impact safety or defensive lineman first.
