Took me a little while to get to this conclusion, but I don't see a QB going top 3 in this draft. If either of these guys gave me the impression that they were can't miss then I could see it, but after three months neither has proven to me that this is the case. I definitely don't see Gabbert going top 3 and I think that Carolina and Buffalo will see more value elsewhere and both pass on Cam.
Here's how I see it playing out:
1. Carolina - Dareus. I think Rivera will build from the lines out, figuring that he can give Claussen and Pike a year to see if they're worth anything before worrying about the QB position.
2. Denver - Peterson. To be honest, I'd like to say A.J. Green here since I think he is the best player in the draft, but Peterson is a close second and seems to have the impression by many of being #1. Could go either way.
3. Buffalo - Miller. I honestly don't think this is the way to go, especially with a bunch of paid bodies already playing OLB (even if they are mediocre), but I'm not sure who else warrants the pick besides a QB, and I don't think OBD wants one of those guys this high.... maybe at #10, but not at #3.
So that would leave Cincy with their choice between the two, should they want one. I honestly could conceivably see them passing on both QBs and going with whoever Denver passed on, but in the end I think they take Palmer seriously on his threat and draft his replacement.
I've been open to anything up until now, but at this point I'm pretty confident this is the way things will shake out. We'll see in 5 days...
