Now that’s the kind of reach that the ‘Boys have made over the years under GM JERRY JONES. I think he’s got a better shot to play S as a pro. Now how about MALCOM BROWN/DT to the LIONS to pair inside with a guy named NGATA. Watch out for someone to reach for a bit for speed… Read More »

In defense of the PANTHERS Pick of SHAQ THOMPSON, their biggest need of OT would have been a bit of a reach with JAKE FISHER the best one left. And yet FISHER has more than a few similarities to a guy named JORDAN GROSS. PS, IMO we are unoffically into Round 2 now. I had only 25 true… Read More »

I like DUPREE’s athleticism, but I he needs to play tougher and more aggressively. The BRONCOS might be moving up for…? JAELEN STRONG to give PEYTON a new guy to replace WELKER & THOMAS in the passing game. Best guys still left on PIGSKIN’s Board: GREGORY PERRIMAN L. COLLINS J. FISHER M. BROWN S. RAY It’s RAY, and… Read More »

STEELERS would be well served to look hard at LANDON COLLINS with their lack of talent at either S spot. BUD DUPREE might be a guy to think of here. THey could use a big WR like STRONG as well. The Corners for Round 1 are already gone.

THat’s a really solid pick for Chip’s Offense. Maybe a bit early, but he was a rising prospect, especially after running a 4.42/40 at the Combine. Gets lots of yards after catch which is big in a KELLY offense. Great work ethic per USC coaches. BENGALS could use a thumper like LANDON COLLINS as their SS. La’el Collins… Read More »

I am surprised even tho I realize the CHIEFS have multiple needs including CB, but I’m a bit surprised. I’m not sure that MARSHAWN LYNCH letting PETERS live with him is high character recommendation in my book. BROWNS are back on the board and JAELEN STRONG/WR is still available. Take him and stop waiting for JOSH GORDAN yo… Read More »

With HOUSTON taking JOHNSON off the board I’m thinking the PACKERS will not have a value CB available for them back at Pick 30. ARMSTEAD is big time talent, but far from NFL ready. Needs to get tougher and stronger. He will not be a big help for them as a Rookie. Watch for him in 2016. The… Read More »

Watch for MARCUS PETERS as well if PHILBIN feels he has control of his locker room these days. The CHARGERS are coming up to get MELVIN GORDON IMO! If SHELTON had not been taken this trade does not take place. The NIners would have been all over SHELTON to fill their hole at NT. Not sure what the… Read More »

GRUDEN is too quick to try to fill needs despite best available. I’m not sure PEAT is ready to play every week yet. His lower body looks incredibly thick to me. His dad was a fire plug OG named TODD back in the day. Have the DOLPHINS fixed their WR corps this off-season or is PARKER/Louisville a solid… Read More »

The SAINTS are retooling the entire roster to make one last run or two with DREW BREES. One of their options has to be DeVANTE PARKER/WR from a pure value standpoint. But they have some mighty big needs more pressing than a new toy for BREES. La’el COLLINS would have been my choice two days ago. I say… Read More »

WAYNES is blazing fast and will be a shutdown guy in a couple of years. So what is up for the BROWNS? I say DeVANTE PARKER would be smart pick. But DANNY SHELTON would be a great pick if indeed PHIL TAYLOR is not the guy he was a couple of injuries ago. This is a big year… Read More »

GURLEY gives the RAMS what they used to have when STEVEN JACKSON pounded the rock for them not all that long ago. They need a top OL in Round 2. The VIKINGS are retooling for the opening of their new stadium in 2017. The biggesy question here is what are they doing with PETERSON in the next 2-3… Read More »

Draft Blog

The RAMS are a bit of a mystery to me. I think they have a nice group of RB, but they are all pretty much little guys. They cannot run the ball in the red zone, especially the goal line. I’d be thinking TODD GURLEY if he’s got a totally clean health report from the re-check in Indy.… Read More »

I like this a lot. BEASLEY is the best potential Edge Rusher. While GREGORY is losing weight, BEASLEY bulked up for the Combine and he ran a 4.52/40 at 247 lbs. and also had 35 bench press reps. He’s also a smart young man. He’s also a guy with a 29 on the Wonderlic. WHat’s not too like.… Read More »

DA BEARS are on the clock. If they make an unpopular pick their fans will out-boo the New York fans in Radio City Music Hall. OK BEARS fans DANNY SHELTON/NT, KEVIN WHITE/WR or TRAE WAYNES/CB. I would also watch for BUD DUPREE or VIC BEASLEY as an Edge Rusher. DA BEARS have made a popular pick overall with… Read More »

The JETS need to take LEONARD WILLIAMS. Their DL is so thin it might tear in the wind. Hey I hear a J-E-T-S cheer even in Chicago. I am telling you that the “best Available Athlete’ axiom will be torn to shreads by need picks before the night is over. MEL is back to being feisty this year.… Read More »

Draft Blog

RAIDERS are looking at LEONARD WILLIAMS to anchor their DL or AMARI COOPER/WR to give them a No. 1 target for DEREK CARR. Any other pick is over thinking by REGGIE McKENZIE and his people. It’s only 4 Picks in but this Draft is making sense so far. Insanity must be lurking just around the corner. Hey is… Read More »

SO as usual the QB position trumps all the BS talk about best available athlete. Kudos to ERIC GALKO who ranks his QB prospects separately from all the other players each year. Now do the JAGS draft COOPER, WHITE, FOWLER or WILLIAMS? Remember that both FOWLER & WILLIAMS are from Florida and would give the franchise a local… Read More »

Will some team be silly enuf to give up the farm to trade up for MARIOTA? I luv MARIOTA, but a deal like the SKINS made for RG3 is suicidal to a franchise and its roster. Plus Marcus may not be ready to play big time for 2-3 seasons no matter who gets him. By the way… what… Read More »

I luv JON GRUDEN, but I am betting he’ll be arguing with MEL that about 50 guys belong in the first round. He luvs them all. Speaking of Mel, did anyone hear if he drove or took the train from Maryland to Chicago. I can’t believe he’s has less fear of flying as he gets older. To trade… Read More »

Thank goodness I only turned on the last 15 minutes of the pre-Draft TV programming. This thing looks like a Dick Clark production and looks like Joan Rivers should walk out any minute for the NFLN Gold Carpet event. THis is crazy. Who the hell is the target audience for these networks. My first choice tonight will be… Read More »

PIGSKIN PAUL’s Top 100 2015 Draft

PATRIOTS TEAM MOCK

I got a late request to do a PATRIOTS Mock. This can often turn into a bit of an exercise in futility. Trying to read the mind of LITTLE BILL is tough as heck. But why not give it a shot. Let me start though, by saying that the team has already acknowledged that they don’t see the… Read More »

TEXANS/EAGLES Team Mocks

The TEXANS have a been somewhat of a roller coaster team the past few years and much of the issue has been at the QB position. But I’m not convinced that is an emphasis in their current Draft plans. Replacing older & departed players might be a bigger concern, along with finding more help up front for All-WoRLD… Read More »

FALCONS/PANTHERS TEAM MOCKS

THe NFC South is arguably the weakest division in the NFL. The Panthers and Falcons look to hit the jackpot in this Draft and put them themselves in the hunt with the SAINTS, who look to be retooling. FALCONS Round 1, Pick 8 VICTOR BEASLEY/ER/CLEMSON/6’3/246 GBN Rank: 8 He’s a monster behind the opponents line of scrimmage. His… Read More »
