2013 NFL DRAFT

Dublin Red Devil · 26-03-2013 07:28PM

I don't think his 40 time is the biggest issue teams have with Te'o, It's the media circus that he will undoubtedly bring to a team. The distraction to a teams preseason preperation

Alfred Borden · 26-03-2013 07:30PM

He will 100% go in the first round.

If he drops into the second I think he could keep falling.

The final big pro-day's tomorrow. Most eye's will be focused on Mr. Barkley over at USC

davyjose · 26-03-2013 11:24PM

4.69 is te'os official time. That's reasonable. He ran a great 20 yard shuttle at the combine, and aside from one game last season, he was elite. I feel very strongly he'll go late in the 1st.

If anyone wants a quick glimpse of the Gruden QB Camp with Te'o there's 3 and a half minutes of it available on this ESPN article:

Any idea when its due to air proper? (any of them, not just Teo. particularly interested in Geno's tbh)

Te'o's first up and it's currently airing now on ESPN (America). It should be on YouTube within the next hour or two.

Geno's the 4th of April, Barkley the 6th.

Full list here, apologies I can't copy and paste the table but I don't know how to format it:

Should be starting in the next 10 days or so

If he does he will put himself back in play for a high 1st round pick.

If Raiders part way with Palmer I'd expect them to take Geno which would put Barkley in play for Cards (unlikely according to their coach) Bill's (good fit) Jets (would they want another USC QB)

The irony for me, if Barkley goes in the 2nd is that IMO hell have a better career than any of the mediocre USC 1st round QBs of the past decade.

If I were a rookie QB this year I would want to end up in Buffalo. There is a decent defence in place and you have guys who will help out and give you a chance on offense.

When has a QB not crushed his pro-day?

HigginsJ · 27-03-2013 09:50AM

Manti Te'o has turned down 2 invites to the NFL draft. Sensible given the doubt surrounding his draft status. The last thing he wants is more media attention if he is last man in the green room

Dublin Red Devil · 27-03-2013 12:37PM

Mikeyt086 · 27-03-2013 01:48PM

I know I'm harping on about the Jags #2 pick at this stage, but the Jags are taking either Geno Smith or Dion Jordan at #2. Would be shocked if it's anyone else. Dion Jordan's versatility in a 3-4/4-3, which is what Gus Bradley has planned for our D, makes him the obvious choice if we don't go with a QB in the draft (strong rumours of a Matt Flynn trade popping up again today). I know we desperately need CB's and OT's, but with CB free agent Mike Jenkins meeting with the Jags on Thursday (and hopefully signing) and a number of RT's still on the FA market, I think the draft will be used for a QB or pass rusher.

Paully D · 27-03-2013 01:57PM

Chiefs scouts apparently ''fascinated'' by Geno Smith. All that says to me is:

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMhY1HYl2yHDlPIrsL7FaY6BslxI0uIB8KI-QQ4oTlSYMGa2e4

I'd be shocked if they didn't go Joeckel #1 and Mikey I think the Jags are taking Smith at #2 also.

adrian522 · 27-03-2013 02:03PM

Possibly hoping Jags or whoever else will panic and trade up for the number one pick, Chiefs would still get their guy and a few extra picks to boot.

Mikeyt086 · 27-03-2013 02:24PM

Surely nobody will bite on that by the Chiefs. If they did "love" Geno they wouldn't have traded for Alex Smith. The chances of the Jags panicking and trading up are slim, as I reckon if Geno is available they will take him, if not Dion Jordon or some other pass rusher will do fine. The question is, are some team like the Raiders or Bills going to panic? Doubtful really.

According to Mel Kiper, Peyton Manning had a horrible Pro-day.

If anybody takes Geno Smith in the top ten he should be fired immediately for doing such a great injustice to his franchise. You can quote me if Geno Smith becomes a great one.

Alfred Borden · 27-03-2013 09:25PM

I would take Barkley over all other QBs :pac:

Thank god someone agrees!

I'd take Manuel or Barkley tbh.

TO. · 27-03-2013 10:11PM

Smith is the best of a bad bunch in my eyes. Having said that none of them are worth first round never mind top 10

HigginsJ · 27-03-2013 10:21PM

Geno Smith is well worth a top 10 pick. Clear best QB IMO.

Barkley 2nd, Tyler Wilson 3rd

Way I see it if all your other needs are covered and really need a QB take Smith in the first round. I like Geno Smith but I think there is better value in other positions than QB in this draft. But as usual teams will bite on QBs in the first round because it is seen as the necessary thing to do.

I think the Bills have no choice but to go QB. If they get Smith at 8 it's great value, but I think they might bite and trade up with the Jags or Raiders
