Not a single quarterback in the first round. Can't say that I really disagree with that assessment.

[DBTS]

Liking the thoughts of NE getting Hopkins.

i can see the Giants taking Montgomery if he is still available. Jerry Reese loves drafting D-Linemen. with tuck not playing at his best, this is a great pick for the Giants

For future postings of Mock Drafts it'd be cool if you posted positions too. I honestly don't know a lot of these guys so it would help lol

I know this is a popular idea with the Jags taking a DE, but unless he moves to a 4-3 LB, this idea just irritates me.

Every. Fucking. Year. The team needs to draft a DE (And they often do. ) and then they need to draft one again because the team still sucks. Look, I get it. The defensive line is laughable. But you can't keep spending every draft taking a DE until you hit on one and ignore every other position on the field. WR's and DE's. I don't know if I've seen a "Professional" mock draft have the Jags draft any position other than WR or DE in the first in years. Maybe last year they were mocked to take a QB because God forbid you give the QB drafted 10th overall more than 14 games before writing him off as an unsalvageable bust.

Come on. At least pretend to be original and look at something different Kiper.

I don't know anything about college football or even one player not named what's his fake girlfriend name's face. But I do know a few things based on prior experience and the smallest bit of Googling.

1. The Patriots can't draft wide receiver talent.

2002: Deion Branch and David Givens. Two of the biggest successes Belichick has had. Branch is still around (though not really productive) and Givens has been gone since god knows when, really since he left New England.

2003: Bethel Johnson. HA! A couple big catches, one or two big kick returns and that was that.

2004: P.K. Sam. Jeez-louise.

2006: The holy grail of misfires, Chad Jackson.

2008: Matthew Slater. FANTASTIC special teams guy. Bad wide receiver, useless as a burner. I don't have concrete numbers in front of me, but I've noticed when Brady targets Slater downfield it's either intercepted or almost intercepted.

2009: Brandon Tate, Julian Edelmen. Tate's another guy that contributed a big catch here and a big kick return there then nothing. Edelmen... Yeah, that was a find.

2010: Taylor Price. Another big fail.

2012: Jeremy Ebert. So far, a total non-factor.

Pardon me if I'm a bit skeptical even if wide receiver is a must-improve category. Unless the guy is can't miss.

2. Clemson coach makes it public that he wishes Hopkins had stuck around. Leads me to believe that he'd be more productive or more of a sure thing with another year of college ball under his belt.
