Great pick JaMarcus.... there is no doubt Fuller could well be a Charger in real life too.

Believe me, the temptation to put Marqise Lee across from Keenan Allen was so, so difficult to pass up

SameOleJay PM'ed.

I'm sure a lot of people wont like this pick, and will see WR as a spot that the Browns will be satisfied with with Burleson, but I couldn't justify picking a lesser player at CB or ILB when they could pick up similar talent at #35 in the second round.

A receiving trio of Gordon, Lee and Burleson would be pretty good.

Then they look at a Guard a CB and and ILB in the next few rounds.

The last few picks have decimated my 49ers draft board, can people stop picking receivers and corners please?

Fuller really is great value at that spot. I don't see much in the supposed to corners in the draft, I think Fuller will end up out playing them

Good pick and would have been my choice too. Fuller looks the most nfl ready CB and is exactly what the chargers need as he'll be starting week 1.
I also like the logic behind possibly picking lee, chargers would immediately have the top young WR duo in the league

Very surprised to see Verrett still on the board with 4 CB's picked. I think he's arguably the best CB in this draft class.

He is very very short though. I don't know enough of his skill set but a 5ft9 corner in today's NFL would be a worry no?

JaMarcusHustle · 08-04-2014 10:02PM

I mentioned it in my pick, but here's a great set of 2 articles by Greg Peshek over on Rotoworld. It's really just a good presentation of stats, but gives you some insight into where these guys are experienced/inexperienced and where they excel/not so much.

He's 5-10 I thought (seems to vary from site to site), but aye his size would be a worry as would the fact that he's unlikely to be able to add much more muscle.

That said, I love the way he plays. He's a true ballhawk, the ball seems to be like a magnet drawn towards him. He's really aggressive, explosively quick and gets effectively involved in stopping the run too. He's the type of player I could see making a lot of big plays in the NFL.

Ultimately I do rank Gilbert #1 and really like him as a whole package, but I think if Verrett was the same size as Gilbert that he'd end up being talked about much more as possibly the best CB prospect. I feel he (Verrett) is more polished in terms of technique and play-making ability than the others.

Well Tim Jennings is 5'8", Verner is 5'10" as is Cortland Finnegan and Revis is 5'11" so its not a real issue imo. Fact is the bigger more physical guys can do a great job against the big men but the smaller faster guys do a great job against the speedy types. I'd much prefer Jennings, Verner or Revis up against Antonio Brown/Jordy Nelson/Pierre Garcon but I'd prefer the bigger, tougher more physical guy up against Megatron/AJ Green/Demaryius Thomas.

Lardarius Webb is 5' 10" and he is the best player on the Ravens D

Agree with this, Verrett also plays taller than his height suggests - is physical, a ball hawk and to me is the best corner in the class. As long as you've a rangy corner on the opposite side it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm convinced people are reading my draft board and picking players accordingly. I like the Cooks pick though, would be good for Carolina.

Silver-Tiger · 09-04-2014 10:25AM

I tried to go up and get Watkins last week and was also sick when Lee was taken two spots ahead of me. I still think Carolina will be happy with cooks landing on their lap.

The way I figured, youth is always a good thing and guys don't necessarily perform the same when they switch from one team to another.

It was between him and an offensive lineman so I went for the sexier pick

Would be absolutely shocked if the Giants went CB. We have focused most of our resources there this off season.

I think the off season has put us in "best player available" position. In this case the Giants wouldn't have passed up on Donald.

Interesting..............we've selected no RB's.............yet !

Think it's fairly safe to say it'll be the 2nd year in a row where no RB goes in the 1st round again

Leslie91 · 10-04-2014 10:26AM

Only Seattle left to pick in Round 1 before we start Round 2.

HigginsJ · 10-04-2014 11:33AM

If the 2nd round continues at this pace I will look to garner interest to see who wants to be involved in the 3rd round. It is running so smoothly in comparison to the shambles last year

adrian522 · 10-04-2014 12:30PM

Loads of time left anyway, draft is 4 weeks away.

Ye maybe,

The weekend will break it up though. No-one should be penalised for being late getting a selection in.

Has Seahawks picker been pinged?, my itchy trigger finger is back!.

No-one will be, last year was crazy. I can't remember exactly but I must have made 10 or 12 selections as people went AWOL.

As a Broncos fan I was thinking the same way, ie. a LB.

As regards having a 3rd round, would it be an idea if we changed it a bit, ie. instead of picking for your designated team need, you would just pick someone who you think is a sleeping giant/hidden gem or a future HOF'er, eg. a Tom Brady etc.

Usually there is a Binkie thread for that but sur I'm open to suggestions
