I'd like to see who the new regime is before I decide who I want.
IMO you can't go wrong with the players I listed before. Peat....if he declares, or Parker in the first round would give any team a potential franchise type player that could thrive in any offense.
It sucks that QB is yet again our Achilles heel and that's why I'm OK with one of the QB's.
I'd be OK with Parker - despite the new GM or HC - but I want no part of Mariota or Winston. I'd rather sign a Bradford and wait for Connor Cook.

I constantly bitch here about drafting playmakers and that will never stop until we are respectable on offense. Parker has a much greater upside than Cooper with nary a red flag that I can see and I agree about your worries with this QB class.
But take a look at Peat. He has yet too declare but 4-5 years from now he will be considered the best LT in the league.
He's a 6'7" baby that weighs 320 lbs and moves like a TE. If there is one offensive lineman I have no problem drafting top 6, it is Peat.

I'd like to know the deadline to declare for the NFL draft. I thought Vic Beasely was coming out last year and he decided to come back at the last minute. In fact, there was a student at Clemson on JI who said "I saw him in class today. He's staying". I stuck to my original source and obviously was mistaken.

Shawn Oakman and Duke WIlliams to return to school in 2015. Really surprised that Oakman is not coming out this year.
CBS Sports CFB @cbssportscfb 6m6 minutes ago Baylor DE Shawn Oakman said Monday he will return for his senior season cbsprt.co/1xce230 (USATSI)
The Auburn Plainsman @theauplainsman 2m2 minutes ago Gus Malzahn has announced that Duke Williams will not play in the Outback Bowl, but plans to return to Auburn next season.
Looks like the Jets may have pulled the trigger on a Louisville Safety one year too soon.
Holliman has a bunch of INTs, but the rest of his game is garbage. If you could combine Holliman and Pryor into one guy you would have a really good safety. Plus, I'm a bit skeptical about his listed height of 6'2". Last year Pryor was listed at 6'2" as well, and he actually was only 5'11".
He just got burned for a long TD against Georgia -- let the receiver get behind him for an easy TD. Reminded me a bit of Pryor on the play.

I had the same thought watching the Louisville-Georgia Bowl game last week. I thought Holliman was the 3rd best Safety on the field behind Sample and UGA freshman Dominick Sanders. I would not touch Holliman anywhere near the top of the draft. He is a big play guy, but he makes them for both teams.

Agreed
A lot of his picks stemmed from him simply being in the right place at the right time.
I wouldn't mind taking him, say, in the 5th round to use as an extra deep safety in obvious 3rd and long passing situations but I have no clue why some have him graded as a high 2nd rounder.
I noticed that safety Karl Joseph from WVU decided to stay for one more year. A little surprising.
That is surprising since this is a weak safety class. He most likely would have been the second or third safety taken this year. I like this though, because we have a better chance at drafting him next year than we do this year haha.
