2014 NFL Draft: Rounds 2-3

Yeah I saw buffalo got cyrus.. good pick

Based on the little I saw and what I was reading it felt like he was the second most talented Tackle after Greg Robinson. However between the average game film and the durability concerns its easy to see why he dropped.

Not to unleash my inner Kindergarten Ninja (http://youtu.be/scJsSLtYCe8?t=26s) but as much as I love Jordan Reed I'm concerned about his durability going forward as was shown in a chart posted a couple weeks earlier. Right now I'm seeing the following available:

Colt Lyerla {TE Oregon}
Arthur Lynch {TE UGA}
Jake Pedersen {TE Wisc}

Lyerla would be extremely tempting if we didn't have Reed but obviously if your trying to find a 2nd TE and your 1st one is mostly a receiver you want someone thats a little bit of a blocker. Not to mention scouts Inc gave Lyerla the worst possible grade for intangibles 5 which translates to marginal (1 is exceptional and the highest rating)



On second thought I say steer clear of Lyerla. Seems like Jeremy Stevens Jr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerramy_Stevens#Legal_troubles).

Yeah pass on that dude. Doesn't seem like someone we would draft with his history.

Hoping the team is taking a look at Exum, Bailey, or McGill as secondary options with the 4th and I'd also be down for seeing De'Anthony Thomas in a skins uniform if he were to fall to our fifth round pick.

Also see everyone talking about Pierre Desir, but don't know enough about him to make an opinion one way or another. And what's up with talks of Shane Skov possibly going undrafted now? He was at one time a borderline first/second day prospect.

It's crazy I remember SF saying Skov Could be a first round pick back in December. What happened to him? Is he slow as dirt or something

All I'm seeing is a knee injury two years ago which he fully came back from this year with over 100 tackles and a DUI in 2012. I'm scratching my head on this one too.

He ran a 5.09 40 at Stanford's pro day. For comparison's sake, that's the same time Seantrel Henderson ran. Ouch!

But like SFRedskin said(I think it was him, if not I apologize), "I don't care how slow his 40 yard time was; the man can play."

Edit: BTW, here's great article to read, not only about Skov, but about how important 40 yard times in general are.

NFL draft: Is the 40-yard dash really that important? - San Jose Mercury News (http://www.mercurynews.com/raiders/ci_25695466/nfl-draft-is-40-yard-dash-really-that)

Vontaze Burfict aka Captain Insano ran a 5.07 as well, led the league in tackles this season.

40 times are so overrated.

Skov was also dealing with a hamstring at his pro day. He plays fast though, so I wouldnt mind seeing him come here. He will probably be there in the 5th or 6th.
