According to Gil Brandt on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...-draft-best-remaining-prospects-after-round-1 1. Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri Hot 100 rank: 20 Ealy (6-foot-4, 273 pounds) is a very athletic player with great quickness and a lot of upside. He came to Mizzou at 217 pounds; at his pro day he weighed 265. A two-year starter, Ealy had one good year, in 2013, which included a great game against Auburn: two forced fumbles and three tackles for loss. He ran the 40 in 4.69 seconds at his pro day. 2. Marqise Lee, WR, USC Hot 100 rank: 22 Lee (5-foot-11 3/4, 192 pounds) is an outstanding athlete who ran a hand-timed 4.44 40 at the combine and had a 38-inch vertical. He also ran a sub-7.00 three-cone drill at his pro day. He isn't the most advanced route runner. A knee injury and inconsistent QB play held him back last season, but he finished with a big game in the Vegas Bowl. In three seasons at USC he had 248 catches and 29 touchdowns. 3. Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama Hot 100 rank: 24 Measured 6-foot-7 and 321 pounds at his pro day, and ran 5.42 and 5.53 seconds in the 40. Some issues remain concerning Kouandjio's knee, but Dr. James Andrews, the renowned orthopedic surgeon, tried to alleviate them with a letter he sent to all 32 teams, explaining how many years he expected the tackle to be able to play. Kouandjio needs work on his pass protection vs. speed rushers, but is still a good player. If you have any doubt, put on the LSU tape from last year; he was dominating. He had 25 lifts at his pro day but was only credited with 21 because he didn't "lock out" on four attempts. I could see him going as high as 20th overall in the draft. Could be a perfect pick for a team like the Seahawks at the back end of the first round. 4. Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State Hot 100 rank: 26 5. Xavier Su'a-Filo, OL, UCLA Hot 100 rank: 27 Su'a-Filo (6-foot-4 1/8, 307 pounds) played some left tackle in 2013, but his best NFL position will be guard. He did not play football in 2010-11 because he was serving on a Mormon mission, but he started all 14 games as a true freshman. He ran the 40 in 4.90 seconds (hand-held) and had 25 strength lifts at the combine. 6. Stephon Tuitt, DT, Notre Dame Hot 100 rank: 28 7. Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota Hot 100 rank: 29 8. Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia Hot 100 rank: 30 There are some questions about Moses' work habits and toughness, but he has outstanding size for the position (6-foot-6, 314 pounds) and very long arms (35 3/8 inches). He played right tackle before moving to the left side in 2013. 9. Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State Hot 100 rank: 31 10. Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame Hot 100 rank: 33 11. Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada Hot 100 rank: 35 Bitonio (6-foot-4 1/2, 302 pounds) ran a hand-timed 4.91-second 40 at the combine. He's a good athlete who played tackle at Nevada, but he might be better at guard. He needs to get stronger, and if he does I think he'll play a long time in the NFL. 12. Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois Hot 100 rank: 36 13. Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise State Hot 100 rank: 37 Lawrence (6-foot-2 3/4, 250 pounds) was previously unranked because I wanted to check on his off-field problems. He was redshirted as a junior college player in 2010, although the reasons are unclear, and he was twice suspended while at Boise State. His coaches say he has no major problems. Lawrence is a very athletic player with long arms and big hands, and he totaled 20 sacks from 2012-13. 14. Tom Savage, QB, Pittsburgh Hot 100 rank: 42 15. Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt Hot 100 rank: 43 Matthews (6-foot-3 1/8, 212 pounds) had 206 receptions for 2,800 yards over the past two years. He has great ball skills and should catch a lot of passes to move the chains, and no one will outwork him. He ran the 40 in a hand-held time of 4.40 seconds at the combine. 16. Ego Ferguson, DT, LSU Hot 100 rank: 45 17. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington Hot 100 rank: 46 Seferian-Jenkins (6-foot-5 1/2, 262 pounds) is still recovering from a foot injury and did not run or jump for teams in the pre-draft process. The Huskies ran more in 2013, which contributed to him catching only 36 passes for eight touchdowns. He can and will block. He served a one-week suspension last season after a DUI arrest in the spring. 18. Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU Hot 100 rank: 47 19. Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State Hot 100 rank: 48 20. Cameron Fleming, OT, Stanford Hot 100 rank: 49 ****Note -- since we have the 18th pick in the round, I just posted the top 20 from his list.
Marqise Lee is the best combination of value and need left in the draft. He would fill one of our 2 biggest needs (WR and CB), and is a legit 1st round talent, arguably a top 10 talent when healthy. Other than one injury ruined season, he put up monster stats in a tough conference, showed great speed, route running, and ball skills, and has all the tools to develop into a Pro Bowler. Please Jets, trade up and grab him!!! Since we didn't trade up last night, we have plenty of ammo to do so; might cost only a 4th rounder or so.
We would have to trade up to the 2nd pick of the 2nd round to get Lee..maybe even the first because for sure Cleveland takes him with the third.
I really want us to pick jordan mathews. I think he will be a beast. His hands are legit Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk
I know, and I think it would be well worth it. We'd be getting, essentially, two 1st round picks this year. To me, that would be worth at least a 4th rounder to move up from our #17 spot....I would even consider trading our 3rd rounder this year to do that; to me, Lee is head and shoulders above the rest of the WR prospects available. He's a legit 1st round talent, while Matthews and the rest are more like 2nd/3rd round types who moved up boards with good combine showings, or other off the field reasons. In fact, I would even trade picks in future years for Lee, since there's no guarantee we will be in position to get a WR of his caliber next year or beyond...
It would take two 4s to get to the 2nd spot (Washington's) but maybe one of them could be next year's.
I would move up for one of the two guards still available (especially if it only costs a fourth rounder). The upside on them is huge.
Stand pat & grab someone for the O-Line. There is good talent there this round. I believe we can still get a good receiving threat in Round 3, or portentially packiaging the 3rd and a 4th to get back into late Rd. 2. Now if Lee or Matthews are there, I can't argue against selecting them. I'm just not sure either are worth moving up for, unless it costs a 5th or later to slide up only a couple of spots.
I feel like we need 2 of those names or at least one of the top names and another one that didn't quite make that top 20 cut. Ton of value for this organization right there.
His drop rate was pretty high actually. I'm really concerned about whether he has the strength to play in the NFL.
