They don't need a MLB. He didn't miss a game last year. There's no reason to draft a replacement in the top 10. It's completely wrong to say Jacksonville needs a MLB.

McClellin? Does someone know something? I know he's been rising, but wow. I'll also be interested in when Perry, Upshaw and Fleener go too.

McClellin would be my prediction for Green Bay at 28, and I think New England would also be a strong possibility for him.

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler previously reported that Bears brass was smitten with Wright at Baylor's Pro Day. Chicago shouldn't be finished addressing its wideout corps after the Brandon Marshall trade. Earl Bennett is a slot receiver only, and the Bears still lack a vertical field stretcher at the position. Pauline also reports that Chicago is high on Boise State DE/LB Shea McClellin.

Not sure if this has been posted, but according to Nolan Nawrocki of Pro football weekly, there are some teams that have Justin Blackmon as a 2nd rounder.

fenikz · 04-13-2012, 04:27 AM

2nd rounder? No

2nd WR? I think it might happen

I think that Rueben Randle and Shea McClellin are going to go higher than we all think.

Randle as the 3rd WR taken?

You're wrong.

No way. Wright is locked in as the third WR taken. Randle is 50/50 to go in the first or second round. Some teams will have Brian Quick or Stephen Hill higher on their boards. Agree on McClellin though. He is a high motor player who was a workout warrior and very productive and versatile. Teams see another Mike Vrabel in him.

Chandler Jones sounds like he's gonna go a lot higher than people think as well.

I'm not sold. I've been seeing Wright slipping on a lot of boards, thanks in no small part to Hill's outstanding combine performance. I see him as the most talented WR on the board this year.

What I could see happening is that teams who want a #1 WR, or at least someone with that physical make up, are going to look at the group of Hill, Randle, Jeffery as possible 1st round options.

Risk

1. Hill
2. Jeffery
3. Randle

Potential Reward

1. Hill
2. Randle
3. Jeffery

I can see a team like the Bears who want a WR saying that Randle has the least risk and the 2nd highest possible reward and pulling the trigger.

I love Kendall Wright, but he seems like a guy who needs to be in the right situation.

Asteinebach · 04-13-2012, 12:07 PM

I see Hill and Quick as two of the year's biggest upside guys. Both have the physical tools to be true #1 receivers. I think, in this day and age, not only do you have to be a down the field threat, you also have to be physically imposing. Those two guys best match the description I'm looking for. Questions might still be surrounding Quick and his technique, but if I'm a coach I'm saying I can teach the kid technique because he's got all the God-given tools. And he's willing to learn. Here's another bold prediction, how about Brian Quick to the Chicago Bears in round 1?

As far as Hill is concerned, it's much of the same thing. He's tall, physical, tough, fast, able to separate, and in addition his technique is pretty good for a guy that only had 30 or so passes thrown at him. His biggest question mark is production, and as we all know, GT is an option offense that runs the ball about 75% of the time. Be that as it may, Chase Minnifield still had his way with him.

I'm a Jags fan and I'm praying we don't take Quick - so this would make my Draft day!!! There's so much talent at WR this year, I don't want us to be the team to take the chance on him.

HeavyLeggedWaistBender · 04-13-2012, 12:25 PM

Kendall Wright does need to be in the right system: the Chicago one with BMarsh and Agent Orangezzzz :P

Rams, Eagles, and two other top 20 teams apparently are looking to move up to 4th pick.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the teams was the Lions, trying to move up for Claiborne.

I also have a sneaking suspicion the Lions want to make a move for Trent Richardson.. but I'll just assume Claiborne.

SuperPacker · 04-13-2012, 07:04 PM

We talking another Falcons/Browns trade? That would be cool!

Giantsfan1080 · 04-13-2012, 07:08 PM

Who would the Eagles be moving up for?

Michael Floyd? Seems a maybe little too high but I can't see the Eagles wanting to move up to #4 for Claiborne or Trent..

They could probably trade up for anyone and it would make sense.

physically he is, but not if you count catching the ball, running routes, having a feel for the position. He's big and he is good at running the 40 yard dash. Thankfully teams put a lot more into evaluating players than their combine performances. Wright has the best tape of any receiver in this draft and people see him as another Steve Smith type. Short, but strong and with the speed to break away as a downfield threat. Teams don't just take upside into account with 1st round picks, they also consider the safeness of the pick and realistic upside.

holt_bruce81 · 04-13-2012, 08:06 PM

Rams moving up to #4 is ********, it doesn't make any sense.

If the Rams didn't want to move all the way down to #6 and the Browns wanted RG3 sooo bad like everyone says, the Rams and Browns would of worked out a trade when St. Louis was selecting 2nd overall.
