Ah, congratulations mate

I remember last year when you really didn't want Justin Pugh. The Giants pick.......Justin Pugh. I'm sure you'll end up waking the baby if something similar happens this year :pac:

Thanks

the dosing off is a definite possibility!!

Pugh was an odd one as he really wasn't someone I had heard of or considered, that being said he has been outstanding and I think he will only continue to get better. Zach Martin will annoy me if he is the pick this year.

Paully, being the current draft guru/nerd!, any chance of digging up those top 5 mock drafters again? I assume theyve all done ones at this stage?

nerd69 · 08-05-2014 12:39am

apparently the texans want 3 first rounders and a 2nd rounder for the no1 over all not a hope they get that they seem to forget clowneys not a qb looks like jj watt and clowney are going to be on the same team next year wouldnt fancy playing them

Majority of them waiting until tomorrow mate but Standig's is here - http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/2014/2014-nfl-mock-draft.cfm?writer=10

McGinn's isn't out until tomorrow morning. Boris is usually the same although there was some talk that he moved jobs so may not be doing it any more, I'm unsure if that's true though. Kadar hasn't put one together since near the end of April so I'm guessing he'll be tomorrow as well and Kiper's is being updated in the morning.

Hulk Hands · 08-05-2014 12:56am

Legend cheers

UnitedIrishman · 08-05-2014 1:44am

Going to miss the first round aswell due to work early on Friday. 12 hour shift too so no chance of just battling the tiredness for the day.

What time does day 2 picks begin at?

Finally...

Knex* · 08-05-2014 9:09am

Happy Draft day!

I'll stay up till at least the Giants pick at 12, me thinks, and see from there.

Looking forward to this.

Enjoy lads, be back Sat morning. Fair play to those watching with work tomorrow - hardcore!

I'd probably have done the same myself but unfortunately there is no day or night off from our twin baby girls. Respect to HigginsJ though - i'd be sleeping every opportunity i could.

Right need to unfollow this now and not get tempted by staying up!

Morrison J · 08-05-2014 10:03am

Mock I did up last night:

1. Houston Texans - Jadeveon Clowney - DE - South Carolina
2. St. Louis Rams - Greg Robinson - OT - Auburn
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Johnny Manziel - QB - Texas A&M
4. Cleveland Browns - Sammy Watkins - WR - Clemson
5. Oakland Raiders - Khalil Mack - OLB - Buffalo
6. Atlanta Falcons - Jake Matthews - OT - Texas A&M
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Aaron Donald - DT - Pittsburgh
8. Minnesota Vikings - HaHa Clinton Dix - S - Alabama
9. Buffalo Bills - Zach Martin - OG/OT - Notre Dame
10. Detroit Lions - Mike Evans - WR - Texas A&M
11. Tennessee Titans - Anthony Barr - OLB - UCLA
12. New York Giants - Eric Ebron - TE - UNC
13. St. Louis Rams - Justin Gilbert - CB - Oregon State
14. Chicago Bears - Kyle Fuller - CB - Virginia Tech
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Odell Beckham Jr - WR - LSU
16. Dallas Cowboys - Taylor Lewan - OT - Michigan
17. Baltimore Ravens - Calvin Pryor - S - Louisville
18. New York Jets - Darqeuze Dennard - CB - Michigan State
19. Miami Dolphins - Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama
20. Arizona Cardinals - Blake Bortles - QB - UCF
21. Green Bay Packers - Ryan Shazier - OLB - Ohio State
22. Philadelphia Eagles - Brandin Cooks - WR - Oregon State
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Marqise Lee - WR - USC
24. Cincinnati Bengals - Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Louisville
25. San Diego Chargers - Louis Nix - NT - Notre Dame
26. Cleveland Browns - Bradley Roby - CB - Ohio State
27. New Orleans Saints - Dee Ford - DE/OLB - Auburn
28. Carolina Panthers - Morgan Moses - OT - Virginia
29. New England Patriots - Rashede Hageman - DT - Minnesota
30. San Francisco 49ers - Jason Verrett - CB - TCU
31. Denver Broncos - CJ Mosley - LB - Alabama
32. Seattle Seahawks - Xavier Su'a-Filo - OG - UCLA

I really like the Manziel to the Jags move personally. There hasn't been talk of the Jags not taking a QB but I'm thinking it could be a smokescreen. Possibly the most irrelevant team in American sport, bringing in Johnny Football and all the publicity that comes with it is a no-brainer for me.

kingcobra · 08-05-2014 10:24am

If you thought Clowney's college tape is great look at his high school tape, it's just insane. He just towers above everyone else on the field!

If you don't have time to watch it all, just watch the first play in, he's like a rabid dog to say the least!

kennyb3 · 08-05-2014 10:28am

4:37 in :pac:

Rock Lesnar · 08-05-2014 10:35am

If the rumours regarding the Eagles trading up to get Watkins dont materialise, i would love them to get Odell Beckham, really think this guy is gonna be a Star.

Knex* · 08-05-2014 10:41am

Who do you think is most likely to be looking for a trade? Wouldn't surprise me if Tampa tried to move up and swap with Jags or Raiders in order to take Manziel, for example, if he was still on the board.

As a Giants fan, I really won't be able to guess with any confidence as to what way we pick until I see the way the first 10 pan out.

Probably, either Donald or Martin, judging by the noises. Obviously if someone like Mike Evans or Jake Matthews were still on the board, I think we'd go for them, but I doubt that they will be.

kennyb3 · 08-05-2014 10:54am

Still think Lovie will get his way and get Donald.

Paully D · 08-05-2014 11:02am

I think the Ravens will trade down, probably with the 49ers, but I hope not. If that sort of trade happens it will probably be for Beckham Jr, and I'd rather we took him ourselves. In any case, one of Ebron, Lewan, Beckham Jr, Dix, Pryor or Ward will be there and I'd be more than happy to take any of them at #17.

Though in fairness it's very hard to be critical of anything the Ravens do at draft time given their record and if we trade down and somehow land one of the above (it would likely be Ward at that slot) then I will be delighted. They're the main guys I want.
