December 21, 2014
  • Bucs inch closer to #1 pick … After losing to Green Bay to drop to 2-13 on the year in one of today’s early games, Tampa Bay could wrap up the top pick overall at the 2015 draft with a loss next week when they host New Orleans in their season finale. However, Tennessee, which lost on Thursday is still technically in the picture even if the Titans also lose their final game next weekend when they host Indianapolis. With Oakland winning its third game this afternoon, the Buccaneers and Titans are guranteed to pick no lower than second. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, if the draft were held this week, Jacksonville would have the third pick, followed by Oakland at #4, the NY Jets at #5, and Washington at #6 with Chicago moving up to the 7th spot. As usual, the full first-round selection order will be updated after tomorrow’s Monday night game.
  • Boise RB heads to draft … Boise State junior RB Jay Ajayi has announced that he will skip his senior season and enter the 2015 draft. The 5-11, 215-pound Ajayi who was second in the nation with 2,225 yards from scrimmage, including almost 1,700 yards on the ground, and tied for first with 29 total Tds, is an underrated all-around back who should get some consideration in the latter part of this year‘s second round.
