Pressing questions heading into drafts final day
Drew Hutchison Jersey By the end of the third round, we're normally able to tell which directions teams are going in. The table is set and most -- if not all -- of the more recognizable names are off the board. But this year's draft has been bizarre from beginning to end. The front-loaded talent was expected to lend itself to more trades early on, not deep in the draft like we saw on Friday.The quarterback cla s is also normally easier to decipher, yet we have some of the premiere names continuing to slide.All of this is contributing to a final round that may lack some of the star power, but not the intrigue. That leads us to a few burning questions heading into the final day:1. Will La'el Collins get drafted by a team on Saturday? His representatives have made one thing clear: If he wasn't picked in the second or third round, he would not Phil Rizzuto Jersey sign a deal. The second and third rounds have pa sed and Collins is still scheduled to meet with police in connection with the shooting death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend. Collins is not a suspect, but concerned teams want to wait for the investigation to play out before spending a pick on him. He is without question one of the best offensive line prospects in the draft and clearly thinks he is more deserving of a higher pick. Chances are, the stalemate lingers until we're provided with more information. Then again, enterprising teams might try and get creative.2. Where will the rest of the quarterbacks land?

Petty and Hundley looked to be the leaders of the next tier after Winston and Mariota but it's clear many big boards saw it differently.

Cleveland got a lot tougher in this draft but has done little to aid the tandem of and . Some potential stars in , , and Masahiro Tanaka Jersey all came and went without much of a thought by general manager Ray Farmer. Last year amid one of the greatest wideout cla ses in recent NFL history, Farmer stayed put despite the fact that he was in the proce s of losing . Is he comfortable doing this again?4. Will the select a running back? It seemed like one of the more elementary connections we could make heading into this draft. is gone, now someone else needs to fill the void. That hasn't happened yet.5. What will happen first: Chip Kelly will take an Oregon player ( on Gil Brandt's best available players list) or Bill Belichick nabs a prospect out of Rutgers? It's bound to happen. Come on.6. Where will Zack Hodges, , land? The might be a good fit for the Ivy Leaguer among several other teams looking for a speedy situational pa s-rusher. Hodges should make a quick transition to a 3-4 scheme as an outside linebacker.7. Will the running back trend continue? Jay Ajayi out of Boise State is still available, as is Jeremy Langford out of Michigan State and David Cobb, a supremely talented running back out of Minnesota. As we noted. Don't be surprised if this remains a trend heading into Rounds 4 through 7.8. Will Ickey Woods? He didn't deserve the Oscar-music treatment. Let the man Sonny Gray Jersey dance!The latest Podcast .
