Lots of guys BBI likes seem to be moving up in the draft,

if the CBS rankings can be believed.

Players who were once seen as 3rd rounders are in the 2nd now: Moncrief, Bitonio, Bryant, Niklas, Philip Gaines, Richburg.

And many who were initially considered 4th rounders are now showing in the 3rd: Daquan Jones, Dozier, Borland, Latimer, Andre Williams.

Sucks, as I was hoping we could steal one or two of these later in the draft.

Because so much has happened since the combine

have guys in for individual workouts. Also, the guys at CBS or wherever else may get a more accurate read on where players are going as the draft approaches. They presumably have some contacts in front offices, as well as in the scouting community, and also have more time to look at tape themselves.
Certainly possible I guess

The master plan

Talk up 3rd and 4th rounders......so real 2nd rounders drop tonthe 3rd and 4th rounds!
Gilbert is going to be nasty  
BillyBoy8384 : 4/20/2014 11:34 am : link
Hes better then Dennard IMO. I would only trade up(if thats what you're refering to) to select Watkins. Hes the most well rounded prospect in this draft IMO and alot of other ' experts ' seem to think the same. He will come in and start and be on highlight reels scoring TD's. He has some fluid hips and break away speed and can catch. His hip movements and jukes are some of the best Ive seen. Watch some of his YAC and returns on video, He slides past guys. Only move up for him
So who are all the second rounders that are falling?

This is why its silly to mock draft before the combine.

Gabe Jackson, Yankey, Marcus Martin, Quarles, Richardson, Swanson to name a few.
Travis Swanson  
est1986 : 4/20/2014 11:56 am : link
might be a surprise first rounder as was Travis Frederick a year ago. I've read some things from Arkansas coaches that would indicate they believe Swanson is better than the former first-rounder Frederick. Most mocks have him as a thrid-rounder, but i doubt he gets to the third round, do any of you guys know a thing or two about Swanson? Any opinions on him?

I think he's slow and a bit clumsy. They often pulled him on sweeps, however, and I don't think that's his strength.

Richburg.

ij_reilly : 4/20/2014 4:51 pm : link
He stated that half the teams that spoke with Bitonio talked to him about playing center. I believe the Giants have spoken with Bitonio. I'm liking Z Martin in the 1st and Bitonio in the second. Martin, Bitonio, and Pugh as 3 young, versatile linemen. All leaders.
I think Kiper's last mock

zack martin @12 is there is a negligible difference b/w him and Bitonio and u can probably get Bitonio at 43. IE martin is a reach at 12

think CK or Lewan at 12 (a LT) and then get bitonio in round 2. forget beatty
if u listen 2 people
