Yahoo is saying that Washington is trying to deal Kirk Cousins

Cousins was very good at Michigan State

I think that was just Shanahan trying to cover his arse for
benching RG3, saying he can now see what Cousins can do then
they can trade him for a no 1 draft pick.

The best DT I've watched hands down is Tim Jernigan of Fla.St.
All the others are inconsistent or too slow. Second round has to
be a CB. That's where the value is and a definite need for this
team. I'd be happiest with,in order, Kyle Fuller VT,Aaron Colvin
OKL or Loucheiz Purifoy FLA.
I'm on board for best player available in the 3rd.
(OL,DL,CB,QB.)
Give me Bryan Stork (C) Fla.St. in the 4th.
Fifth round I'd love to get Jalen Saunders (WR) Okla.
Dangerous threat after the catch in the slot. Looks like this
years Tavon Austin.

I'll be watching Jernigan closely in the title game. His lack of
size scares me after the durability issues we've seen with
Tommie Harris, Melton and Collins. Jernigan will be giving up
20-30 lbs every game against NFL OGs. That all being said, if he
dominates against a very good Auburn OL in the biggest game of
his career, that definitely has to be considered.
I havent really researched the safety class but that is such a
desperate need for us I cant see us waiting till any lower than
the 3rd round at that position. UNLESS Emery considers our
safety issues to be equal parts talent AND
leadership/experience, in which case he may make a play for a
top tier S in FA.
I like the idea of a C in the 4th and a burner WR in the 5th. We
also have an extra 6th from the Carimi trade to play with this
year.

Several recent scouting reports I've read have Jernigan falling
to the 2nd round because of his size and the fact that while he
does everything well, is coachable and has good technique, he is
not a clearly elite game changer in either pass or run
scenarios. He might be a guy worth trading up for in the 2nd a
la Jeffery, but as a mid 1st rounder he feels like a reach.
If we're going to spend a Top 15-20 pick on a defensive player
we really need to avoid another McClellin and get a guy this
time who will make a significant difference on our D from Day
One. Whether that's a DL, LB or DB makes me no diff but he has
to be damn good right out of the gate.

Somebody that I personally would be keeping eye on is Dominique
Easley from UF. He had season ending surgery on ACL and
MCL….which will obviously make him fall a lot farther than his
skill set and potential. He is 6'2" 282. He started career at
DE and switched to DT for Gators. He would be perfect Tampa 2
DT or a good DE for a 3-4 D. It would be similar to the Wooten
pick. Don't expect a whole lot from him next season but
talented player whom you probably could get in 4th round.

I agree yapper that Jernigan could slide into the 2nd because
of his size,not his talent. The guy is listed as 6'2" 298lbs.
He's not a prototypical NT or 3/4 DE so that eliminates many
teams from the get go. I think he'd be perfect for our scheme
and has the game tape to prove it.
I could see a possible trade down scenario in the 1st with one
of the top 5 teams who passed on a QB with their first
selection. If by some chance a Manziel,Carr or Hundley were to
slip we might be able to parlay that into a 2nd and 3rd this
year and a high pick next year.

I would definitely raise an eyebrow if we continued drafting
small guys at DT. That formula has not been working for us. I
also think it's a little risky projecting picks based on our
scheme because the scheme has failed in epic fashion this year.
The inherent weaknesses of a finesse based D that Lovie was able
to mask with a crazy amount of takeaways, have emerged
full-blown under Tucker. A radical scheme re-do is in order and
that may require players with a different skill set than we are
all used to.
That being said, this will be Emery's 2nd draft using his staff
and his evaluation system, which seem a lot more legit than the
dartboard approach Angelo took and have yielded us 4 starters
this season (Bostic and Greene by default, but still). If he can
find more Alshons and less McClellins production wise, then I
guess the players' measurables are secondary.

Ok, this is not about the 2014 but about the 2012 draft. Mike
and Mike on ESPN radio interviewed BMarshall this morning and
we're also talking about Alshon Jeffery. Mike Greenburg, a big
Jet fan, mentioned that the Jets could have had Jefferey but
instead took a different WR 2 picks before.
Remember Stephen Hill from Georgia Tech?
He had the same attributes of Megatron except he catches the
ball like Devin Hester.
I know I was high on Hill and I thought the Bears may have been
also. Sometimes we overestimate speed/size in evaluating
college talent.
And didn't Emery trade up to get Alshon?
