Mel Kiper Jr.: 'Wentz is amazing'

The NFL draft guru says QB draft prospects Carson Wentz and Jared Goff both deserve to be drafted in the top 10, with Wentz as the potential second overall pick.

Even though I think Kiper is one of the biggest idiot blow hards, I have to agree with him on this.

with Cleveland's unmatched ability to pick the wrong QB under all situations I agree

I've been watching Ohio State tape for about a week now, trying to finalize scouting reports for all of their NFL draft prospects. The Buckeyes have 14 players with "draftable" grades and 11 players in my top-75 overall.

Chiefs got docked two draft picks today by league office:

Citing improper contact with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin prior to the start of free agency last March, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent informed the Chiefs on Wednesday that they will forfeit their 2016 third-round draft pick and 2017 sixth-round draft pick for violating the league's Anti-Tampering Policy

and more hypocrisy. The only difference with the chiefs and 31 other teams is that they got caught.

ANd I doubt its no cooincidence the chiefs are not exactly one of the NFL marqee teams

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Losing a third is pretty serious, though. Especially for a player who isn't exactly a huge difference-maker.

What exactly did the Chiefs do?

What exactly did the Chiefs do?

Supposedly tampering when they grabbed Maclin in FA last year.
Guess they jumped the gun in approaching him directly instead of his agent.
JMO but the NFL plays fast and loose with the whole FA thing anyway.
Chiefs lost two picks,quarter of a million in cash.
Reid personally lost like 75000 trips to the dollar menu.

Troy Vincent was an eagles wasn't he

Troy Vincent was an eagles wasn't he

Yes among others,thinking a Dolphin first,but did a stint in Philthy.

Edit:Yeah looks like he had his best years as an Eagle,but also time in Miami Buffalo and Washington

 

[MrB]

Yea he played opposite of Bobby Taylor and had some really good battles with Michael Irvin in the mid-90's.

Several reports say our scouts love this guy. Almost a Dez-lite guy.

Irrelevant since we aren't taking him at 4 and he won't make it to the 2nd round.

This kid appears to be similar to Barry Church, except that he actually can tackle and make plays on the football.

Yea I've heard that too. As much as I'd love to see him and Dez on the field together WR shouldn't be at the top of our list. And I agree, I don't see any way he makes it to the 2nd round.
