I like Davis as well, fits our model.

We'll have to see how the combine and things go before we can really start projecting. I hope everyone here who wants to talk draft have the courage to post what they think before the draft, rather than droning on and on about what they supposedly, privately thought about players.

Rooting for you to help me out with that Aussie! That would make two of us at least who could be honest and up front about what we think. Been wrong many a times and hit a few right on the head. Here's my early take:

Baker Mayfield is far more Brett Favre than he is Jonny Manziel. I think, if I were the Browns, he might be my guy.

Oh I always put stuff up before the draft!
I will also be doing a 1st round mock draft,which I didn't do last year because of the Vikes not having a pick.

Mayfield is definitely on the Browns radar if you can believe the rumor mill.They have about 5 guys that they like.If I was the Browns GM,I would actually take Saquan Barkley with the #1 pick and then a QB at #4.The Giants will take a QB but the Colts will probably take a pass rusher or corner.
Mayfield isn't the style of QB that NY would draft,so if he's the guy Cleveland really want then they could afford to wait.

It's just so hard to take a RB first overall. I think if they don't go with a QB they may go with Chubb. They may be able to get someone like Guice or Sony later for RB.

For the Vikings, as of late January, here are a few thoughts I have:

1) If things go somewhat normally and Billy Price is sitting there at 30 - I'd take him. He'll pair well with Elflein and is a future pro-bowler in my mind.

2) We have to draft a QB....I go Luke Falk in the 2nd round. I don't think the combine is going to do him any favors, but I think he's a guy you groom for a year and turn over the reins. A lot of the digs at him (mobility, system QB, not enough arm strength) and pros about him (accurate, quick release, poised) ring similar to Rodgers. I'm not saying he's that, but I've loved a lot of what I've seen of his ability to throw sideline fades and back shoulder throws. He scans the field well. And if it's true he had a partially broken wrist last year, that's even more impressive. He's the guy I'd take after the top end QBs.

That makes two of us. Price sounds like a carbon copy of Elflein, and that would be a really good thing. It would be nice if he slipped to the end of the second or top of the third (like Pat), but I don't think we can count on that.

Which would you move to guard?

Logic is the beginning of wisdom - not the end.

That would be for the coaches to determine, but they've both had success at both positions so any solution would be great. Ideally, they would both be prepared to play center in case one is injured. It might make sense to start Price out at guard.

Price would play guard,he only moved to center because Elflein went to the NFL.

Quenton Nelson would be a fabulous pick,but I just don't see him sliding that low.It would be a shock if he wasn't drafted in the top 15,I think he may well go in the top 10.

This is the exact point in time when O linemen went from being widely considered the "safest" investment of a high draft pick to now being as flaky as every other position (we had our clues starting with Kalil, but this sealed it). Warmack and Cooper were both considered can't miss guards who warranted top ten status. Oh well....
