    Its that time of year again football fans, the NFL combine leading to the draft. So who's going #1? Will Winston go to tampa bay? I watched him yesterday and the kid looked good throwing and he answered all the questions right about his off the field stuff. Would you take him #1?

    Yes I would.

    Apparently his football IQ is one of the best scouts have seen in quite some time. He has the ideal "football body profile".

    Kevin white or Devante Parker being taken at #11 by the Vikings.

    I think Tampa will pick Mariota with the number one pick. Leonard Williams from USC is going to the titans second overall.

    White will be gone before pick #11....likely the first WR off the board

    Winton's physical abilities have never been in question and are worthy of being picked #1. But maturity issues have to be of at least some concern for Tampa Bay. Only time will tell if he is worth it?

    Look how many QB's that fail taken in the first round. I understand it is the most important position and would have no problem taking him with out the off the field problems but it is the first pick and there is no way I am risking that pick with a guy who I could not trust to do the right things off the field.

    I want the Redskins to draft a stud OL. And then repeat that again next year.

    Just watching how he handled himself yesterday with the questions and how he did with Mooch at the whiteboard impressed me. He seemed very intelligent and owned his past and was ready to move forward. We'll see I guess.
    I doubt White will still be there at 11. That kid was impressive yesterday.

    I would not take him. I don't think he is mature enough to be the face of a franchise. Most likely never will be.

    Apparently Jameis Winston’s football IQ is being compared to Peyton Manning’s? Didn't know he was that smart..

    I didn't see any of the combine really... White must have really impressed in order to be the #1 WR off the board. I wouldn't mind any of the top 3 from this class: Cooper, white, or Parker!

    Yes White looked impressive in the combine but nothing really surprising. People around the league aready knew that he is bigger, faster, and better after the catch then Amari Cooper is. Early mock drafts from the media do not always align with the player evaluations from NFL teams.

    I think TB would be crazy taking Mariotta with the first pick. He has the tools but he's going to struggle coming from that system. I'd much rather risk drafting Winston.

    Other than that, I hope the Cowboys go heavy on the defense this year, preferably the defensive line. Seem like that's where the talent is this year. If they don't plan on re-signing murray, I'd love for them to get Gurley if he falls.

    There was talk that the Eagles would trade up to draft Mariotta, seems like a fit.

    Bud Dupree sure improved his stock at the combine today... He weighs in at 270 as a LB/DE and ran a 4.57 40, 42" vertical, and 11'6" broad jump. Freak athlete that will be taken high I bet.

    Bengals is pretty good on offense. Would love if we could get some better defense players def need some better pass rushers. We usualy do pretty good in the draft so well see what happends.
