I don't expect him to come out this season, but where would you say
dorial green beckham would go?
Spoiler:
I'd be all **** it and draft him somewhere in round 1 probably, lots of the first round mock picks just get a giant "meh" at best out of me play wise but most orgs are like most people where they just pretend the personality causing the off field stuff (his weed love and seemingly no respect for authority and probably women) is not an issue and hope it goes away. With the latest let's ban the off field guy for the season mindset, some teams may just stay away entirely tho. Dez still went kinda late in round 1 despite an obvious top 5 talent, as did Moss. Josh Gordon was a 2nd round pick, hell Brandon Marshall ended up in the 4th.
"Would" I don't know. You can't really draft him too high. He's a top flight talent though. OU will be nasty with him. He can parlay next year into top 8 pick if he can lay off the weed. But if he did enter I don't think you can take him in the first-round so far removed from playing a game along with all the other issues (just joining this draft is in itself a demonstration of poor decision making).
I think the one guy off the radar before the season who has impressed me the most is Kevin White, WR from West Virginia. He is an elite deep threat and has been a beast this year.
possibly so, and that's what i was curious about back in july

Weed isn't the problem. Didn't he supposedly push a woman down a flight of stairs or something like that? Major difference between weed smokers and violent/abusive people imo.
These are some guys I think are underrated right now, in no real order: Sammie Coates, Brett Hundley, Daryl Williams, Alvin Dupree, Danny Shelton, Lorenzo Mauldin.
Dupree is going to be a beast. Only UK player I think I have seen with more WIM is Randall Cobb.
The list isn't terrible (except for not a fan of the OT's so much nor the latter washington guys [there's just no way a team these days is spending a first on a guy who got dismissed b/c he couldn't get along with coaches]), but the redskins explanation has tilted me it's so bad.
I think Amari Cooper is pretty overrated. Just don't think his hands are solid enough for him to be a top-5 pick. (Check out how many balls he dropped in the LSU game.)
Re CBS mock: No quarterbacks in the first beyond Winston/Mariota seems kinda wild. I feel like someone will sneak in there, most likely Hundley, maybe Cook.
Ekpre-Olomu lacks elite size or speed for the position, but he has the instincts, fluidity and toughness that fit what Pittsburgh needs.
time to re-evaluate. oregon might have a total of three three players on their defense that are 'tough', but Ifo hasn't shown this year that he is one of them. Dargan, Mattingly, and Walker are probably the only three.....and LOL at 247Sports for showing this player on the 2014 Oregon roster (in year 6):
At this point, only 2 QB's in the first round seems pretty certain to me, teddy was actually good and he almost went in round 2 ffs. There's just such a gap between winston/mariota and everyone else. I don't think I'd bother with anyone else despite the massive amount of teams needing them atm. and winston/mariota are going to be written off a lot of boards for various reasons (off field/introvert).
Cook went back to school (as he should've imo, he's basically jay cutler at best for me, see the exact same fetish for mindblowingly bad INT mistakes every game).
Really not a fan of this OT class without delving into the film, probably will have most of them far lower than the paid guys boards. So many teams need OL though so they'll probably still get picked as normal.
Will definitely have Cooper below the media big boards but I still expect top 20. It's just tough that everyone from alabama is either massively overrated or exactly right. Very hard to find an underrated player there these days.
Senior bowl could be pretty good, most guys at least initially are going.
Where does Hundley coming back for another year rate among all-time draft backfires?
Won't be worse than Barkley--at least I can't imagine Hundley would've gone before JFF or Teddy. It's a weaker group of QB's so it was probably fine since he probably gets picked off the board by end of round 3 anyway.
