Interesting story on Taylor Lewan, too. His character concerns are apparently no big deal and no team has taken him off their draft board. Lewan just visited with the Giants the other day.

Just Be Nice
I am 100% on board with Lewan to the Gmen.
Assuming Evans & Jake Matthews don't miraculously fall:
1. Lewan
2. Donald
3. Ebron
4. Barr
5. Clinton-Dix
Other players I like, but not at 12: Kelvin Benjamin, RaShede Hageman, Calvin Pryor

I'd love for the Jets to draft KPL. Became friendly with him over the past year and a half. Jets were a team that was interested in him. Underrated player that could become an every down LB if he's coached properly.

I do not want a TE in the first round. Re: Ebron If he was an all around one, okay, but he's not. Kid sounds like Jeremy Shockey. Pass..
If I'm the Giants, I'm taking Donald, a WR or OT.

Speaking bout the Jets, concur, pretty much in any round no big TE investment this yr.
Kellen Winslow 2.0 + scrub/project is ok.
IMO,
Need our pix for
1 improving the OL/pass protection
2 improving DBs, pref w/ taller CBs who have enuf speed for coverage
3 other D needs esp. at LB

One of the 3 OTs, Donald, Evans, or Ebron. I heard rumors that they might take Martin from ND. Kiper has the Giants taking Donald, while McShay has them taking Odell Beckham, pretty off the wall. They both have the Jets taking Cooks.

For some reason, a lot of analysts are starting to predict that the Jets select Dennard or Roby.
Smokescreens? Actual interest? Wonder what they do in 1 week.

Roby would be a pretty horrendous pick at your spot. Dennard would be solid.
I assume it's just more over-analysis of the draft, though.

Reese talking about character issues in the early rounds.

Pretty interesting. They have recently changed their philosophy of completely removing guys from their board, but he is still saying they want as clean a prospect as possible.
Im still of the opinion they need a center more than any other OL position.

I'm interested in who you think the Jets will pick, not necessarily who is the best fit.
I really think that they go with value guys over hyped guys. Milliner at 9, Richardson would have been a top 5 pick if he had stayed his senior year (most likely) - they got him at 13. Geno was projected to go top 5 too, at various points throughout the season, and they took him in the mid 2nd.
I've also heard that Roby would be a bad choice there, but a lot of analysts recently have him as the Jets pick (Dennard being taken before them, obviously).
I don't think that Rex will want to take another CB in the first round. I think we got Patterson, and if need be, Wilson should be able to fill in and potentially provide average covering abilities too. Wilson did not commit 1 penalty all season, before or after that dreadful 4 penalty Bills game.
I think that they will pick Marquise Lee. ODB and Cooks have never been talked about in a top 5 light. Lee would have been a top 10 pick if he declared for the draft just a year ago. Value over hype.
And to be honest, I think he could project to be a great NFL WR. Great hands, speed, and route running.

Lee? Great hands?
His hands are inconsistent at best.
Hes better than Hill for sure, but I certainly wouldnt name his hands as a strong suit.
Jets fan here.
If we're taking a WR in the 1st round, I want Brandin Cooks. I think he's just as good as Lee, but without all the question marks surrounding him.

"Picks ball out of the air". No mention of that being a weakness. Injury concerns (same type of concerns for Milliner last year) and explosiveness off the line (can be taught).
His draft stock fell this year due to injuries.

Oy at forming opinions of players only going by what someone says when there are thousands of hours of youtube videos for almost every player.
I watched a lot of game tape on him this year. BC played USC early on in the season and since we had started to a 2-0 start and USC had just been radically upset, I was very hopeful we might match up. Lee was one of the guys I watched a lot of videos on to see the type of impact he could have on the game.
I came up with that he was a game breaker that may be contained due to an inexperienced QB not being able to connect with him that well. Lee killed our secondary and I believe scored 2-3 td's that game.

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 12: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn (A)
Round 2 Pick 11: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech (A)
Round 3 Pick 10: Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise State (B+)
Round 4 Pick 13: Charles Sims, RB, West Virginia (A)
Round 5 Pick 12: Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A)
Round 5 Pick 34 (COMP): Devon Kennard, OLB, Southern California (B)
I did this with the Giants, don't think it was very realistic as all three of the OTs were available along with Evans and Donald.

Hoping the Jets get one of Beckham or Dennard in the first round. Bucannon and Robinson could be two potential 2nd rounders they might be looking at as well.
I feel what the Rams,Jaguars, and Browns do dictates the rest of the draft.

Might be watching the 2nd and 3rd rounds Friday instead of game 5. I know that's a lie, but just so disgusted.
