Mariota did well but guy who really made lots of $$ today was

OT Jake Fisher. Ultra-athletic. Moves around like pt guard.

Possible 1st round

Theres just are only a few "experts" that I value there opinion and listen when they give information. Gil is a proven old head, that still knows the current game.

Plus he's isn't only one talking up fishers pro day, many others said it was better than his combine. I called fisher flawless there, whats better than flawless?

Greg Gabriel, who was a scout for Giants 1985-2001 before spending 9 years as Director of College Scouting for the Bears (2002-2010):

from his prospect focus on Jake Fisher:

"Jake Fisher from Oregon is a left tackle... Since the season ended, his value has shot up. I think one of the reasons is that once the coaches got involved in the process, they saw more to Fisher’s game than some scouts did. ... When you watch tape, it jumps out that he is very well coached. He has very good snap reaction, keeps his back straight in pass protection, and does an excellent job using his hands. Right now, he is a better pass blocker than a run blocker... I see his best fit as a left tackle in a zone scheme. ... The player he reminds me of from an athletic and size point of view is OT Lane Johnson who was the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft to the Eagles. While he isn’t as talented as Johnson was he has the same type of game. It wouldn’t surprise me if Fisher went in the lower part of the first round, but I feel it is more likely that he goes in the early second."

note Lane Johnson rated as Pro Football Focus' second-best right tackle in the NFL and only allowed one sack and two hits in 909 snaps

http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2015/01/eagles_lane_johnson_rated_second_best_right_tackle_in_nfl_by_pro_football_focus.html

Johnson was named to Pro Football Focus' All-Pro Team along with Eagles' left tackle Jason Peters.

It wouldn't surprise me if Chip Kelly took him @20. It's time for Lane Johnson to move over to the left side and Peters is on the wrong side of 30 to be running plays every 15-20 seconds. Kelly is much more likely to value Fisher higher than other teams since he knows,him and has experience in the system. If this occurs look for the Eagles to offer up Peters on draft day and the Panthers to make a run at him.

I could totally see something like that happening.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
