really good article about drafting QB's This upcoming crop in particular

Top college QBs often more sizzle than steak

Kiper just releases his first mock.

Has Winston going #1 to Tampa and Mariota going #2 to Tennessee.

He has the Eagles taking Marcus Peters at #20

Kiper is the last guy I'd follow for mock draft. He is never spot on.

If only that were the real thing.

Well, it very well may be, but as Wings said, we won't know which direction they go until after free agency.
First things first, my friend.

I think Chip will get his QB either:
Hundley in the 1st;
Grayson in the 4th;or
Bennett in the 5th.

 

[old duke]

There is no free agent that we could bring in that would keep Peters from being a great addition for us.

Very true. I also think Jalen Collins is another possibility. Great size/speed/tackling/etc.

So Kelly, who wouldn't coach DJax in 2013 should draft Marcus Peters with his first pick in 2015?

Yes. Hopefully Chip has grown up since his first major personnel mistake.

Grayson might be the most NFL ready Qb in this draft....he will not last till rd 4.

I'm a fan of Peters ... his issues were isolated to that coaching staff. He doesn't have any off field issues and as I pointed out in another thread, from all the interviews I've seen of him he doesn't sound like a bad dude at all. Matter of fact, I found just the opposite ... very personable, knowledgeable regarding his team and positive about his team mates. I actually think he's a guy who will raise his stock after the interviews.

I like Peters alot but if Chip is going to let go of a DeSean Jackson for no reason there is no way no matter how isolated this incident was that he is going to draft Peters.

Free Agency will determine the draft but I think Chip might just go offensive line in the first round. That line is getting long in the tooth.

Even if they sign 2 new CBs in FA they should still draft him at 20. I know Chip has shown to draft good samaritains so far but if he does his homework on this guy he could be the steal of the first round. He can cover all types of receivers, not many DBs can.

I'd be perfectly OK with La'el Collins at 20 too, but I've said before I think he goes before that.

 

[old duke]

I am OK with an OL in the first, but only after we rebuild the secondary in free agency, and that means not only 2 CBs, but a safety as well. And then, take the BPA, which could be OL, WR, QB, and especially an ILB. And, it looks like Paul Dawson, ILB, TCU, could be there in the 2nd round. He could even move into the 1st round after the Combine.

 

[Deano]

If Collins is still there at #20 he is a no brainer. But he won't be, so yeah I'd take the CB from Wash St.

 

[Los Eagles]

I'm sick of this. Just stay put and draft a CB. Play Foles, beef up the D and see what happens.

 

[swat]

Free agency will change focus of draft. Have to get some veteran DBs that are really good. OL would be nice too.

ILB is a position that we will probably address in first 2 rounds.

 

[old duke]

I want to do a first mock, but we have to see what happens in free agency. If we fill holes, then we can get the BPA's that fit Chip's culture in every round. 8 weeks until free agency, and 3 1/2 more months until the draft. But who's counting?
