What about the gunter kid Jim, he's looked good at the senior bowl this week.

 

I think you should make a Gunter thread Jim, the kid is playing well matched up against good players at the senior bowl, he freakin runs like a gazelle, and he jumps routes..

Maybe we should make a thread about this is the year to draft our needs from the U.

 

I would love Quinton Rollins late in the 2nd round after trading down and adding a couple picks, but in the first? Nah, no thanks. He has become the object of over hype.

This may be like when Levi Brown went from being ranked a late 2nd rounder after the season to rising to the top of the draft fueled by nothing but hype.

The poor AZ Cardinals used the #3 pick in the draft on this LT and guess who went with the 4th pick? Adrian Peterson to the Vikings.

I like experienced college players in the top two rounds. I predict Alex Carter will be the best pro from this year's class; and he is flying way under the radar. Right now he is late 2nd or early 3rd, which IMO is absurd.

 

I like his size.

 

Then you didn't look. However, things have changed since the senior bowl; his rawness showed, he should be out of the first round conversation unless he blows up the combine but he isn't expected to run that well.

 

Dane Brugler has him at 27th to Dallas: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft/expert/dane-brugler

I think the hype is a little overboard because of his unique path to the draft, but you can see the appeal. Tremendous athlete who seems to have taken to the sport really well: awesome ball skills, not afraid to hit and tackle physically.
