I thought he was the best in the NCAA last year, and I'd put him up against anybody coming out next year too. However, he's certainly not fail-safe. The offense he played in makes it hard to project how good he can be in a Pro-Style offense. This is where Tate closes the gap. If I were GM, I'd really need to sit down and watch tape with him and work him out before I felt comfortable spending a high pick on him.
6) As for binkies, Andre Roberts and Taylor Price look to be great value on Day 3. I love Gilyard on his return abilities alone, and from a purely on-field assessment, Mike Williams is a top 3 WR in this class. I would take a flyer on him somewhere around round 5 and see if we can't get a steal. If his immaturity flares up, minimal investment lost, but if his attitude problems can be corrected, the bang-for-buck is off the charts.
Wow. You think Benn is better than Green, Jones, Floyd, Baldwin, etc? That's quite the statement. If you're right, then we have to take him in the 2nd, where he's currently projected, because in that case he's a top-ten talent and a serious steal.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock reports that Georgia Tech WR Demaryius Thomas broke his foot on Monday while training for next week's Scouting Combine and is out 4-6 weeks.
Thomas' agent claims the break was "clean," and his client will be ready for OTAs. The injury is fluky, as Thomas missed just one game in his college career (due to a concussion as a sophomore). A likely top-32 pick, Thomas' stock will take a hit because he may not run for scouts at all before the draft. Like for all big wideouts, there are questions about his long speed.
Yeah that really sucks, here's a bit more to add..
Confirmed: Demaryius Thomas Breaks FootAccording to TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline, Demaryius Thomas was running forties in the 4.3 range prior to breaking his foot this week.
Thomas' agent confirmed the injury to Pauline while adding that a pin may need to be inserted into Thomas' foot to quicken his healing. The agent also said Thomas ran a 4.38 at 227 lbs. last week, which would've skyrocketed his stock had Thomas repeated the time in Indianapolis. Thomas' camp videotaped the workout and plans to send the footage to all 32 teams.
