2014 NFL Draft

[philipm31]

GAIII will definitely sign an as UDFA. He'll have his choice of teams.

I think TJ could go earlier, but I agree with Shembo and Jackson (and I think he'll go).

GAIII will not even make a team. There are PLENTY of RBs out there who will get a look long before GAIII does.

If all you can do is return kicks then you won't be given a look at all in comparison to other RBs who will do the dirty work on ST, are coachable (HOW long did they tell GAIII to lower his pad level and generate power to make sure he was the one doing the damage and not the other way around??? Three years? Maybe all through HS?), block and catch passes.

GAIII does NONE of those things well except KR and that is debatable honestly.

We're talking about two different things. I said he will sign as a UDFA and will have choices. This is much different than saying he will actually make the team. I agree with your analysis unless you're saying he won't sign as an UDFA, which I absolutely think he will.

TJ's got to be getting close with all these WRs coming off the board.

After a questionable 3rd round pick of Bromley in the 3rd (don't understand why they passed on Nix or even Sutton), the Giants hit a home run with Andre Williams. Kid is going to be very productive.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

I like Kadeem Carey to the Bears. He could be a good option when Forte needs a break. Don't see how Carey will he in the NFL longer than a few years though, he averaged like 891 carries a game at UA.

Let me put it this way. IF he signs as a UFA (and I don't think he will because of the reasons I stated above), then he won't stick with a team because he won't stick out as someone a team NEEDS, barring a significant injury to a team.

Agreed, first pick where they didn't reach for someone. Carey should be a solid #2 as well

I kept picking him in Mock Drafts for the Niners in the 4th round for that exact reason. He should fit right into what the Giants want to do.

Fair enough. I agree there's very little chance he sticks, but to say he won't sign as an UDFA? I don't know about that. 300+ players will find teams after the draft. Teams need camp bodies and covet speed. He'll be among the top RBs left after the draft.

That's a great pick. He's football fast and tough as nails. Very excited to plug him in.

 

[philipm31]

Hard to believe but the Niners may need a backup QB with Kaep in his last year, unless they know for sure that they will sign him to a long-term deal, preferably during the off-season.

Just not sure who I would want now after hearing at McCarron's attitude. Then again, this should have set him straight.

 

[koonja]

I want McCaron to go undrafted because I think that will make his reality TV show more interesting.

 

[NDWorld247]

Great pick for the Browns. They continue to ignore WR, but Desir is going to be a player. I was hoping the Pats would take him.

Wonder if they're more confident about Gordon's appeal than TV analysts let on. Otherwise they're really rolling the dice offensively.

I could see them picking TJ in the late rounds. You know what you get with TJ. Reliability.

I didn't realize he had a show. That's probably why he isn't drafted yet...teams don't want to deal with that BS

Edit: They actually have a 5th likely in Marcus Roberson.

 

[philipm31]

I have a feeling that that show was never picked up or was immediately canned after he was not picked in the second round.

Has anyone seen the show? I thought it was already airing, but maybe I was mistaken and they're just filming.

Edit: Looks like it starts in August.

How productive can he be if he never sees the field in passing situations?

Maybe instead of making a film, he should study film on mechanics. I thought he would be a mid-fourth, early fifth round pick and will probably end up somewhere in that neighborhood. With his attitude issues it is nice seeing that he is finally being told he is not as good as he thinks he is.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Don't know if I buy the Savage hype, but if he's as good as some think, the Texans could have set themselves up incredibly well for the future in this draft.

Was he always that way in Tuscaloosa?

 

[gkIrish]

Because he can be a short yardage back and a 1st/2nd down back. There are literally dozens of NFL running backs that can't catch. He had 2000+ yards last year despite 10 in the box.

AJ has always had an air about him - some of which wasn't bad. But some of his comments after the season ended puzzled a lot of us.

Well he's Baltimore's problem now. Good thing because he was starting a rant on Twitter and may have pushed himself out of the draft if Baltimore hadn't done it now.

 

[aubeirish]

Hard to tell right now, but it certainly looks like Houston is having a heck of a draft.

Absolutely crushing it IMO.

Shembo!!!

 

[ResLife Hero]

Shembo! Didn't know he'd go this early.
