I'm gonna set some positional line around where I think it is a nice middle ground Vegas would use. Give me a sec.
Taken in the 1st QB: 5.5 RB: 1.5 WR: 2.5 TE: 0.5 OL: 5.5 EDGE: 4.5 (clarify if you wish) Other LB: 3.5 (clarify if you wish) DT: 3.5 DB: 5.5 LS: 31.5
I realise I'm in the very small minority but I believe 4. The big 4 will obviously go so the question basically becomes whether Jackson or Rudolph are drafted in the first round. I think both are probably early second round picks but I don't think they have the talent for the first round and I think the quarterback needs for a lot of teams is being overestimated. There are three teams that will definitely take a QB in the first round (Browns, Jets, Bills), a few that will might (Giants, Cardinals, Broncos) and a few that are likely to take a QB day 2 (Patriots, Saints, Dolphins). My gut says that the Browns, Jets, Bills and Cardinals take the big four and the rest decide not to reach on Jackson and Rudolph (Jackson to Denver in the second round maybe?). The need for a QB for a lot of teams is overemphasized and late first round QBs generally don't work out so teams will be wary.
Back to the business at hand . . . *** AUTOPICK *** The Arizona Cardinals select, Levi Wallace, CB - Alabama
I think this might go under, simply because of the number of mid level CBs that are in this draft. I think there is a possibility the first could go outside the top ten...If that happens, then I could see only 3 going in the first round...At the same time, I could see 2 going in the top ten and if that happens, I could see a run mid round back which could produce as many as 6. This is going to be a weird and exciting draft imho.
Say, no one has picked one player from Cornell. It should be real easy to autopick the rest of this draft.
