Oher sucks something fierce. Oher is a solid RT. He is brutal at LT but at RT he really doesn't need to be replaced all that badly. I don't know man, I've only ever heard bad things about him from Raven fans.

"The 49ers haven't yet replaced the once-elite Isaac Sopoaga, and Timmy Jernigan is the perfect candidate. Jernigan doesn't have the athleticism to play DT for most NFL teams because, let's face it, he's not very athletic. The 49ers nose tackle position is all about penetrating over the center and batting down passes on third down. Jernigan would be spectacular lining up with Justin and Aldon Smith."
===
That whole description is filled with a lot of false information. How is Jernigan not athletic? And you want the 298lb DT to play nose tackle? And Aldon stands up most of the time.

[1] I cannot see Atlanta trading up to get Clowney. Atlanta made a blockbuster trade for Julio in the 2011 Draft, and while they got a great player, we discovered that Atlanta did not have good depth as told by the 2013 Season. Atlanta won't destroy themselves again.
[2] Not sure if Jacksonville would even consider Watkins. Yes, Blackmon has had trouble off the field, but he is still a guy they want to build around. I assume they will get a WR in FA (whether bringing Shorts back or another player), and Jacksonville will most likely lean towards building the defense.
[3] I do not understand your comparison of Evans to Nicks other than the fact that they can both go up and get it. Evans is a tall receiver, Nicks is not. And Nicks actually had some speed and the capability to go inside. I just do not see any way that the Giants pick Evans in the first.
[4] Wide Receiver is not the Rams biggest need.
[5] Cannot see any way that Dee Ford goes 15. And you seem to have this affair with Derek Carr who is overrated.
[6] Hageman does not make much sense at all to Miami. First off, let me just say that Zack Martin going top 10 is highly questionable. Don't believe too much of the hype (look at Sharrif Floyd).
[7] You assume for a few teams that some players might not be back, so you pick a certain way, then you turn around and state PHI going secondary in FA as if it is a certainty. Need to be consistent with what you are basing your picks off of.
[8] I cannot see Marqise Lee falling past the top 20. I ultimately see him going to the Jets at worst (and possibly top 9).
[9] Cleveland has absolutely no need for a defensive lineman as they have Rubin, Taylor, and Bryant. They need a cornerback if anything when going defense (and another inside linebacker to accommodate Jackson possibly).
[10] Mosley falling to 28? No way. He will go top 15 at worst.
[11] Already discussed the Jernigan pick a little on another thread. No way he plays NT at 298lbs. Pick does not make sense.
== Final Thoughts == - This draft has some high points and low points. You seem to be buying into the hype of a lot of players (Martin, Ford). There are some picks where the reasoning does not make too much sense, and there are some picks that just do not make sense. You seem to vary between assuming players are back and passing along the thought of certain things being fact [ie: PHI and secondary]; you need to be consistent there. Overall, this was a pretty good draft and you show a good amount of understanding of what teams need.
== Final Grade ===
B-/C+

Oher is a solid RT. He is brutal at LT but at RT he really doesn't need to be replaced all that badly. I don't know man, I've only ever heard bad things about him from Raven fans. A lot of Ravens fans also think Joe Flacco is an elite QB When it comes to Oher expectations where so high with him that he go out and be the best OT in the league thanks to that movie. Oher isn't one of the best OT in the league but he is serviceable. He is also far more dominate in run blocking than pass blocking. His pass blocking is pretty mediocre but his run blocking is superb.

Plax, the Julio trade had nothing to do with this season really. If Atlanta thinks they can get Clowney for the right price, they'll do it.

Plax, the Julio trade had nothing to do with this season really. If Atlanta thinks they can get Clowney for the right price, they'll do it. The Julio trade DID show something. All of those picks they lost means that they lost potential depth players; something they lacked this year due to injuries to their main guys.

appreciate the effort.
but the Giants picks do not make sense at all in the early rounds. our biggest needs are the interior line on both sides of the ball and tight end. you gave us a strict OT and a RB. the Giants don't pick players who carry red flags in the first round, and Lewan has red flags with him threatening women. Lewan won't be picked by the Giants, I can almost guarantee it.
and we picked up Rashad Jennings in FA and brought back Peyton Hillis. we won't be getting a RB in the early rounds, if at all, with the other needs we have.
Demarcus Lawrence is a decent pick. But if anything Moore is our DE/OLB, not sure why we would necessarily draft another one like him.
Abbrederis is an okay pick. Cannot complain there.
Your Lynch pick is probably the best pick for us. This TE class is underrated and has some good players.
===
Extraordinary effort, cannot deny that. You seemed to have whiffed on the Giants needs though.
You said this is all on WF, right?

I had no idea Lewan threatened women. What happened?
As far as the RB, I just think Hillis won't be on the roster past preseason, and they need guys to split with Wilson for him to get better. I guess he can split 50/50 with Jennings. I still think Hyde would be a good fit there though.
I didn't really pick for teams based on needs as much as picking for the long haul, but I did get the Giants an OT I thought they needed, a blocking TE, a guard, a RB, a WR a pass rusher, and they have one more pick.
My biggest concern if the Giants did this is that they didn't draft a DT, but couldn't Moore play DT?

It is on WF yes, but I typed it up here b/c the formatting on WF glitched out for me.
