QB Tajh Boyd, Clemson -- Though the headlines are all about Manziel, there is probably no more perplexing QB prospect this year than Tajh Boyd. Last year, so many fans (myself included) were looking forward to the 2014 Draft's great QB class, of which Boyd would definitely be a part. Boyd was, after all, a tremendous QB with Russell Wilson qualities his sophomore and junior year, with a great arm, unshakeable confidence, awesome leadership skills, and "plus" athleticism. His senior season, however, combined with his ass-ugly weeklong suckfest at the Senior Bowl, has left him reeling and too many people are projecting him now to be a 3rd day pick. But in this terrible QB class, I can't help but think a team will gamble on Boyd in the 3rd. His inaccuracy, lack of vision, and footwork are all coachable things, even if his stature is short (6'1", 225 lbs). I'd definitely take a shot with him over guys like Jimmy Garopollo or David Fales, but mostly I'd prefer not to have to take that shot at all.
