yep...our only shot at Luck is for Carolina to suck. The way Newton is playing that is probably the only scenario where the #1 pick would be open for buisness. That's how I am looking at it. The skins were never going to finish last in the league...the key is someone who doesn't need Luck finishing last.

Carolina won't be the worst in the league. The Luck sweepstakes will be decided in the Luck Bowl, Week 5, KC vs. Indy @ Indy. Other than this game, I only see 1 other game for either team to even have a 50/50 chance to win.

MAN...that's crazy....even for a Skins board

[Ruhskins]

Honestly I think it is silly to try to predict the performance of any team given that we are not going to have an offseason for teams to prepare.

"Griffin, who enrolled at Baylor in January of 2008 and redshirted in 2009 after a knee injury, will earn his master’s degree this spring in corporate communications. He will petition the NCAA to allow him to go to law school while he plays his senior season and trains to get onto the 2012 Olympics team to compete in the 400-meter hurdles.

The NFL—where he’ll likely be a top 10 pick—can wait.

“You gotta have a plan, but realize that plans don’t always work out. Plan B is the NFL,” Griffin says. “Whenever you ask me what are my plans, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is not to be an NFL player. I want to go to law school, I want to be a lawyer, maybe a sports agent. That’s the plan. All of that other stuff doesn’t matter until I’m done here at Baylor.”

And for every underdog put in every situation that was seemingly too immense."

He's not coming out to play. He want's to be a lawyer. NFL money is Plan B for this kid. Got to give him credit. That takes a man right there to say that.

The question is when did he make that statement? Since he won the Heisman he hasn't said weather he's going to stay or enter the draft. More than likely he made that statement months ago. I think it's 90% chance he's going to come out.

Draft talk already? lil early

Ok Moore is also really small so that knocks his draft stock but reminds me of Schaub and his accuracy. Barkley won't come out... almost positive i agree 50/50 with Jones

I still can't get a read on where Moore is going to get drafted. If I was to play it safe though I would say he seems similar to Andy Dalton in terms of draft stock, but then again Andy Dalton's success in Cincy might convince scouts to bump those second tier prospects to the late first round. Maybe even the mid first round.

But, when discussing his potential in the NFL, in my mind it’s tough to give a high grade to a guy who is 5115 (5-feet and 11.5-inches) and doesn’t have the arm strength needed to make all the throws and drive the football down the field. Now to his credit he does do a nice job anticipating routes, staying in proper rhythm in the pass game and has a natural feel when the football needs to come out. Plus, his pocket awareness is very good as he’s subtle with his movements buying time in the pocket, maintains balance and transfers his weight well through the throw when he has time.

It's time to add Kirk Cousins to the group of first round quarterbacks as well.

It's hard to say if Barkley or Jones will come out (more confident that Jones will than Barkley), but this is such a loaded class of QBs. It's been a long time since we've seen five legit first rounders in a class.

Plus there is some intriguing depth at the position. Guys like Tannehill and Cousins are making cases.

After this weekend of teams just looking terrible, we're somehow pretty secure in being in the top half of the 32. At this point it seems the best that we are going to be able to pick is Te'o (not that that is a bad thing in anyway).

Guess that means Barkley is coming out as well because he's been parroting they were a package deal. (which I do not believe)
