Miami clearly think they have a player in Armon Binns. He's not going anywhere in the offseason and his numbers are eerily similar to those of Jordy Nelson and James Jones. I'll be amazed if they don't re-sign Hartline. He works hard, is a good guy, a solid number two and most importantly he has the trust of Tannehill. I think Bess might be at risk of being dealt but he's so reliable and likely to be much better when he's used in the manner with which he's built when Miami have better receivers around him. They also like Rishard Matthews. Marlon Moore is finished. I think they will draft one in the first three picks and then maybe bring someone in late on, along with a free agent. If they don't get Jennings, Wallace or Bowe then I think they might double up with two of the first five.
Two potential WR choices take the field today in Tavon Austin & Stedman Bailey. But keep an eye on Shamarko Thomas the safety. Been one of my favorites a while and he could be a safety pick for us.
Bengals doubled up on receivers the last three years They may finally have it right though with Green and Sanu.

I agree with this assessment in terms of what we have and what we may do except that I don't think this WR class warrants doubling up in the first five (unless it's Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey). I think it's more likely that if we double up at WR it would be with one in the first five (probably second round) and one later like a Swopes.
If we don't come out of this draft without one of Stedman Bailey, Justin Hunter, Keenan Allen, Terrance Willians, Tavon Austin, Dandre Hopkins, or Cordarrelle Patterson I'm going to be pissed.
Damn, it's killing Clemson to be without Sammy Watkins all game, especially with the talented Martavis Bryant (30 ypc) already ineligible.
IDK if he is worth the first. But I dont think he'll be around by the time we get to our second pick.
He's got to declare before worryig about that. And I don't know that it's unrealistic for him to make it to pick 47 or so. Rueben Randle was viewed as a late 1st last year and fell to last pick of rd 2. Stephen hill in rd 2 as well when some thought he'd go in 1 after the combine.
Hopkins is straight up BEASTING this game. Can't guard him. I think he might have worked himself in round 1.
I wonder if this game keeps Boyd and Hopkins in Clemson. The announcers kept talking about how LSU was good enough to be in the national championship and they just beat them. I think Clemson just took the next step and Boyd and Hopkins might see it out.
I want DeAndre Hopkins after that game. Even more than Keenan Allen now. I have a feeling this kid could be a superstar in the NFL. We can not miss out on him. Draft him. Please.
It's possible for Tajh to have the itch to return for a shot at a Nat'l Champ opportunity.... or it's also possible that this is a great time to head for the NFL after the type of surreal but typical performance he had tonight, especially doing it w/o Watkins or Bryant and despite being pressured & knocked around from start to finish. I'd be hard pressed to not call him the best QB this draft, so it could behoove him to come out with this year's weak class.
Tajh Boyd is going round 1 after that. He's been building momentum all season. He's a Chip Kelly kid. Cleveland are going hard for Kelly. I could see them dealing Weeden if Kelly was gunning for Boyd.
Initially thought it might've become another WVU embarrassment after the 2nd play and losing Sammy. Phew. lol
Good point about Kelly. I'd build an NFL offense around Tajh, definitely. Start with him and then do the obvious- grab Nuke atop round 2.
My favorite 7th round/FA prospect, Rodrick Rumble. Now this is how you attack the ball downfield. Seeing stuff like this from a small school player makes me chuckle when fans claim Hartline is good at playing the ball in the air. Kid has an impressive 6'2 210 build, too.
