58 59 | Over / Under falls from 59 to 58 for Super Bowl 51
The over / under began at 59, the 17th prime; it has now fallen to '58'.
Freemasonry = 58/139
Atlanta Falcons = 40/49/139
This will be the Falcons second Super Bowl appearance, and Matt Ryan wears #2.
Two = 58
It has been 58-years since 'The Greatest Game Ever Played'.
If the Patriots win, they'll be 5-4 in Super Bowls, or (5 out of 9).

Thank you Zoë Kravitz, you just gave us another jewel obsession with this huge choker magic! The birthday girl, who turned 26 this week, posted this amazing Instagram pic. Sweet! And even if we are totally in love with her earrings and septum ring, we couldn't help but fall for her so chic choker, too. Edgier and way more glam than the typical 90s version, this necklace is going to make our sequined party dress just that little bit more sparkly.

Very insightful class about understanding what makes or breaks viewership trends on a YouTube channel/video
Shaun Margolis
Providing Smart digital solutions online since 2001. I am considered a true web technology expert. Having professional experience in a wide range of digital areas. Everything from Search Marketing, Video Marketing, Content creation, User Experience, application architecture, and web programming.
Understanding how users flow through the web and learning what drives users to interact online has been the cornerstone of what I do. The more seamless the process the better the user experience and the more likely they are to interact again and share their experiences.
After launching my first websites I quickly realized that to get traffic on your site you need to be able to market online. Research and using personal experimentation as to what are the most successful ways to effectively drive traffic to my websites, I was able to successfully build multiple success eCommerce sites. I used my expertise to provide Search Engine Marketing Services SEO to 100's of clients.
In the advent of Social Media in 2006, I had identified it as an excellent opportunity to drive traffic and connect with users. I created many successful sites that integrated with Myspace and then later into Facebook. I was able to monitize the traffic on several platforms, driving in some cases 10K+ clicks daily to the various platforms. I continued to perfect the art of Internet marketing and adapt to new technology and changes.
In 2008 I created my first YouTube video, and channel. Realizing that there was another great opportunity with video I have been experimenting with video marketing and video monization. Youtube being the second largest search engine has a very bright future. As technology progresses the trend has always been quicker, easier means of delivering content always wins out. Images beat out text as they are easier and quicker for us to process, videos beat out images being the most efficient means of getting content to users. As bandwidth increases, and more platforms that can even easier deliver videos become available videos will be the trend for the future.
Understanding technology provides a means to better connect with users.
Applications I've created have entertained, informed and engaged tens of millions of people. I have over billions of page views on various platforms, and have sent millions of click through visitors.
I have developed hundreds of web applications, from micro sites to enterprise level platforms.

So there's this guy in one of my classes that is undeniably hot. He has a godlike body and a super attractive face and he is super well dressed and seems like he comes from a loaded family. When he walked in on the first day of class most of the girls stopped to stare and he seemed flawless and too good to be true. Until he opened his mouth that is. He just says and does some really weird things once in a while. It's not all the time and he will crack jokes that make the whole class laugh sometimes but it's often enough to make him socially awkward.
Don't get me wrong I still think he is super gorgeous but when I talked to him one on one after class one day he got really nervous and started acting awkward again to the point where I said I had to go just because he couldn't even carry a conversation with me. It's just so weird because he is seriously so hot that you would think that he has been with so many women but after talking with him I can tell he doesn't have much experience with girls.
If he wasn't so attractive I would have just blown him off and never talked to him again but I can forgive his awkwardness just because of how hot he is. I don't mean to sound shallow but he is also a nice guy so if I can get him out of his shell he has so much potential to make a good boyfriend.
Do you think it's possible to date a guy who has very little social skills and experience with women. He is 22 and says he's only hooked up with girls but has never actually been in a relationship. Can I make it work or is it too good to be true?
Most Helpful Guy
im sure you can make it work but be careful. once he realizes his potential his opinion/perspective/attitude may all change.00|00|0
I'm pretty sure he already knows his potential and I wouldn't mind just hooking up with him anyway lol
- Show AllShow Less
Make the moves. Some guys like to be chased and made to submit. This is probably one of those guys.
When I was around age 19-25 I was considered a "hot buy awkward" guy. I had a few girls push me against the wall aggressively. That was such a major turn on.
Some guys like a girl to make a first move and be aggressive about it. This guy sounds like he's dropping all the hints that he wants you to do this.
its high risk but high reward. what do you have to lose? :)

I've spent way too much money on prom (which is tomorrow) and I don't want my parents to have to pay even more money just for me to have my makeup done. So I was going to go ahead and pay for it, but I figure that if I'm already buying $60 worth of makeup, I should just do it myself. If I mess up, I can re-do it, but I am not very good at it by any means, and I have a hair appointment at 3 and would have to do it after that. So I have the option of buying makeup to do myself (returning it after because I refuse to keep an eyeshadow palette that is $54 when I don't wear it every single day) and run the risk of it creasing/flaking/making me too pale, etc. Or spending the same amount of money that I won't get back and have someone else do it - when I might not like it.
Should I do my makeup myself for prom or have it done by my hairdresser?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Do you have any friends that would apply it on you and could maybe borrow the one thing you never use?00|00|0
All of my friends are gettin their makeup done, and I don't want any of the girls I'm going with to have to wait on me to do all of my makeup, probably two times over (because I know the first time won't come out right). That was a very good idea though!
Or your Mom maybe could but yeah I guess your friends won't have the time either

Senate panel passes guns-on-campus bill on straight party-line vote
The Senate State Affairs Committee has voted 7-2 along party lines, with only the panel's two Democrats objecting, to approve SB 1254, the guns-on-campus bill, and recommend to the full Senate that it pass. Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, said only about a third of those who signed up to testify on the guns on campus bill got to do so. "We're pushing up against a hard deadline because we have the Lincoln Day presentation," he said. Sen. Elliot Werk, D-Boise, asked that the vote be held off to allow more of those who wanted to testify to do so, including students, law enforcement officials and university officials, but was voted down. Thirteen people testified this morning, six in favor of the bill and seven against. Among all those who signed up to testify, according to sign-in sheets released by the committee, 30 were against, 22 in favor, and six didn't indicate either way.
"This could probably go on for some time," said Sen. Russ Fulcher, R-Meridian. "And I too have learned a lot today. So to that end, I'd like to thank those who came to testify today." He said he'd still like to hear from people on the issue. "But Mr. Chairman, as I hear the testimony and try to process what we're contemplating here, the overwhelming issue for me is that the non-law abiding citizens really just don't care. The restraints that we have only impact those who are a law-abiding citizen. … I don't know that this bill or any other bill is perfect. But I think we're better off with it, if it were in place, than the way it is." So Fulcher moved to pass the bill, and Sen. Jeff Siddoway, R-Terreton, seconded his motion.
Sen. Patti Anne Lodge, R-Huston, said she needed more information about the cost concerns that college and university officials brought up, including her local one, CWI President Bert Glandon, who noted that his college has classes being taught in a variety of locations, including leased buildings and high schools. But when the vote was called, she voted in favor.
Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, said, "This isn't an easy vote for me. I know for most people in this room, this is what my grandkids call a no-brainer, whichever side you're on. If it really were a no-brainer, we wouldn't have so many good people here on opposite sides of the issue. I'm not convinced this bill will always make it safer on our campuses. It depends on the situation." Hill said based on today's testimony, the bill would "sacrifice the safety of some for the safety of others," and said, "If we don't recognize those things, then we haven't been listening to one another." He said the "tie-breaker for me" is his oath of office to support the Constitution. "I love the 2nd Amendment," he said.
The bill now moves to the full Senate; to become law, it needs passage both there and in the House and the governor's signature.

Tickton is a lively village in East Yorkshire situated some two miles from the historic town of Beverley, the county town. It has a school, a village hall, 2 pubs and a hotel. Together with the smaller settlements of Hull Bridge, Weel, Eske and Routh it comprises some 750 homes.
In 1994 the two village churches – Methodist and Anglican – came together in a Local Ecumenical Partnership and became known as 'The Church in Tickton'. There is a service of worship on Sundays at 10.30 am and this follows a regular pattern with leadership drawn from both denominations. For the current plan of services, go to the 'Downloads' tab. Also on this tab is the latest weekly Notice Sheet, and recent Tickton Diaries.
The Church in Tickton maintains two buildings – St Paul's Church, and Tickton Methodist Church – and uses both for worship. The Methodist building has a kitchen, small meeting room and toilets in addition to the main hall. This hall has flexible seating and is used by community groups as well as by the church and its own groups.

I would like to get some advice on how best for a client to manage their emails. They currently run Outlook 2007 through Exchange 2003. This is just for the individual person to better manage emails from clients, and to keep track of projects that he has going with those clients. At this point he is not interested in tagging the office documents associated with those clients, but possibly could be at a later date. My thoughts were the following:
Journaling through Outlook
Business Contact Manager
Simply creating folders within his Outlook mailbox structure
Integrating MS Search/Google Desktop Search
Please let me know any thoughts that you may have on this. Since I have never implemented any of the above mentioned programs I do not know how they would work for this solution. If you have used these or other methods, please let me know. Thanks.
Mar 8, 2010 at 10:24 UTC
All of what you presented are viable solutions. If I were in your situation I would be having discussions of the user on how they like to work and show them options. Folders in Outlook may be the simplest method.

Mar 8, 2010 at 11:05 UTC
I think it would be overkill to implement in your case, but in my enviroment we use Barracuda's email archiver. The search function that integrates with Outlook removes the need to keep emails in your inbox or folders to be useful. You can search for all email from a contact or to a contact or both. This way you can monitor your communications without a terminally bloated pst file or overfull Exchange mailbox.
Mar 9, 2010 at 12:50 UTC
I tend to agree with Justin. Review the options and let the user decide for the most part (with your professional opinion in there as well of course). If it's just one user I'd probably suggest an Outlook folder structure. That is, of course, unless we are talking about hundreds or thousands of emails. In that case, a simple folder structure could get crazy. In that instance I'd go with a program that indexes the emails, so they can be searched.
Mar 14, 2010 at 7:46 UTC
While this suggestion is slightly out of left field, have you considered moving from Exchange/Outlook to another mail system?
The two that come to mind are GoogleApps (paid) and Zimbra.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

Each day I acquire several e-mails wondering how to make money on the net securely. Is there a method to make investments your time and effort with this business and make lots of money following the month?
The solution to this is certainly indeed providing you adhere to the in depth listed below.
First, step to making money on the internet safely is to find platforms that pay for your work. But not all pay even you working, i write this because there are thousands of platform around the world that offer this kind of service. Before choosing the systems to ask for affiliation you need to research with some other customers who make use of this identical sort of services.
The second move is to opt for medium value items but pay out a great commission payment. Merchandise with very high worth be determined by relationship to offer. Those of lower value will not make up for the payment. Then choose a item involving $ 100 to 300 reais that spend no less than 50Per cent percentage.
The next task is to figure out how to market online. It's no use coming into this market by studying Vimeo video tutorials. You will need to get a program and do it. Review to learn how to framework your business. If you want to discover ways to do this click here.
Your fourth move is to generate a mini website. The small internet sites are really quickly for you to produce and placement. I become now to set a little internet site from the oxygen in just a few minutes. The small website is a staff member who matches your needs for only 30 reais per year. That's appropriate. You submit the little internet site and yes it keeps there getting funds for your needs round the clock.
The past phase is to take care of your electronic digital organization each day. In the same way you might have your normal work, you should think of finding the time to deal with your electronic digital business at the same time. You will require someone to three hrs every day to take care of your organization.
Adopt these measures and you will probably be a champ on the net. Rise up and acquire.

I need to hand cut 50 cookies. What is the best tool for that?
I did some before and used a knife but the edges were a bit ragged. Is there a trick to this or is it better to use something other than a knife?
I use a really sharp knife when I hand cut. I try to cut in long stokes along the template I am using. If you have any rough edges, just smooth them with your finger.
Could you take a larger, inexpensive metal cutter and reshape it for your design? Bakinccc does this and I think it is a great idea!
Yep - I'd reshape a cutter anyday before I'd handcut 50 cookies. I did 3 once and that was enough!!! What shape are you doing? I thought I read once on here that someone was using an exacto knife. Maybe someone else can confirm that. Good luck!
I may not understand the question correctly. However, would a sharp pizza cutter work? Mine makes really smooth cut lines.
Oh, yes! I use an exacto! The fine tip, to be exact (or exacto! ) Alright, enough at my sorry attempt at humor!
I used to use a fine tip paring knife, but find the exacto to be more precise. I really, really second what yankeegal and bakinccc said and think about making a cutter. KHalstead has an excellent tutorial here on CC. Here is the link:
Suppliers have changed since she first bought her aluminum flashing, so note that she warns to make sure that yours is food safe. I had no luck with the kind at Home Depot and Lowe's and would recommend bakinccc's great trick to reform other cutters.
If you are going to try to hand cut, here are a few suggestions:
1) Reconsider making a cutter (Okay, I tried!)
2) Iif you are going to cut, make sure your dough is well chilled. That will help a lot. If you do get ragged edges, smooth with your finger as yankeegal suggested. She is right on and it works well.
3) The template material I like best is to use the plastic template sheet from Joann's. It is in the quilting section. I use the lighter of the two weights personally. I trace my design with a sharpe, cut around the line (leaving some so you can see easier) and am good to go. It also washes well for future use and stores easily.
4) If you find your template is sticking, just wipe it off or go over it with a very, very light brushing of flour.
I wish you the best with this project! With 50, yes, it will take a little while to make a cutter, but in the long run you will save time by not having to cut all of those out. Just my two cents!
Thank you all for your suggestions!
I just can't get a cutter here in time and I need to take this order. I don't think I can make a cutter for it. The shape is a shoe with wings, you know the symbol for the sport of running track.
With the wings I don't think I can get the shape of it especially since I have never done this before and I need the cookies for Friday! I thought about it but I am not too adept at these things.
I will get a new blade for my exacto knife and try that. My dough was not chilled last time so that may be a factor too.
Thanks again and if there are more ideas I would love to hear them!
Yep - I'd reshape a cutter anyday before I'd handcut 50 cookies.
This may be a dumb question..but i have to ask How do you reshape a cutter??

Each year, ETS moves some service from under-used routes/times to better serve high demand routes/times. Typically, this is about 10,000 hours out of about two-million hours that ETS operates or about 0.5%. The changes take place in September.
This year, ETS is moving around 50,000 hours in order help buses run on time and address overcrowding by adding more buses to the high-demand routes/times. By improving services on higher-use corridors and routes, ETS expects to attract more riders.

I haven't had too many Roussanne wines so I was eager to try this one. I loved it! Can't say I care for the label. From the producer website: 100% Roussanne picked when golden-brown in late November. Fermented in 100% New French 500L Puncheons and aged in New Oak for 15 months.

Creamy, buttery, smooth, rich. Had it with lobster - it didn't work well. Interesting, flavourful wine, but too buttery for my taste. It's made without finings or filtration so it looks a bit cloudy.

Home › Forums › Creations › 18+ Content › Lewd Luden – Skyrim Short Stories
January 1, 2017 at 9:21 pmPost count: 28#20012 |
- Moderator
Hello all! So I've been playing Special Edition and I decided to try something different and play as a male character. His name is Luden and he's literally the definition of a man-whore. There's been a lot going on in his life and in game and some things are too funny not to write down as little short stories so I figured I'd share with the community Luden's little adventures.
Hopefully you guys like them. 🙂
P.S. He's a man-whore so there will be a lot of sexual themes when he's not out fighting things. Hey, the man has an insatiable appetite, what can I say?
The Ultimate Boner Kill
"Charmed." Luden answered with a smile that the devil himself could not compete with. He almost had his night's catch in the bag when something stirred inside him; faint, but growing. The Argonian servant was blushing with a toothy grin as she looked at the ground as if she were shy to meet his gaze. Luden's smirk slowly diminished as he cast a hesitant gaze toward the Skyrim sky and caught a glimpse of Masser in all its beauty. Shit, he thought as the stirring inside him began to increase. His heart began to pound and his vision blurred to a rosy shade.
"I gotta go." He gritted his teeth at his short response, turning without another word and sprinting the length of the Solitude docks toward the only salvation he had: water. The pounding sped up and his vision was now pure crimson. It was like everything else was blocked out and his mind tunneled toward one thing. Get in the water.
It was to his luck (debatable) that it was late and the docks had been empty save for his horny Skooma addict of an Argonian who was wandering alone for Talos knows what reason. It made it easier for his sudden burst in inhuman speed to go unnoticed despite the length of the docks being easily able to accommodate two large ships. When Luden reached the edge he wasted no time in diving head first into the black abyss beneath him. The water did little to ease his skin from the burning sensation that flowed through his blood; it was nearly time.
His arm shot forward to part the water, swinging back to give way for his body which pushed forward from the strong kicks of his legs. All of a sudden he fell beneath the surface, releasing a short yelp as he attempted to catch his breath before being devoured by the liquid. Seconds past and the plane was broken again, this time by the massive head of an alabaster wolf with patches of tawny brown scattered about in the fur. The beast crawled onto the bank on the opposite shore, panting and soaked from effort. It looked back at the docks, observing the Argonian female look around in complete confusion only to give up after several moments and ascend toward the farmhouse above. The beast let out a long sigh that ended in a frustrated growl then whipped around and disappeared into the darkness of the marsh. A night of hunting had begun.DovaBunnyParticipantJanuary 4, 2017 at 4:31 pmPost count: 75

LOL. D'aww thanks guys. I wrote another one the same day I guess I'll post it. 🙂
This happened not long after he returned from his hunt (and lack of getting some action).
Luden grunted and pushed open the door to Proudspire Manor, angrily kicking it closed behind him as he stepped into the house. The stale scent of musk and old hay clung to the cobblestone walls and gave him a very unpleasant slap in the face upon him entering.
"Son of a bitch." The Nord grumbled, flaring his nostrils as his anger began to spike. Then he got the whiff of an intruder: female, Nord, middle-aged. His brain processed all the attributes and a second later he heard a timid voice call out from behind the center wall of the living area.
"Is that you, Thane?" A tall Nord female with steel armor and long goldilocks that came to her breasts stepped out cautiously from behind the barrier.
"Who are you?" Luden was born with the gift of smooth talking, his words like honey and soft as a feather to anyone who was blessed with hearing his voice. Despite his authoritative tone, his face was calm and quite intrigued as his eyes hungrily feasted over the very noticeable curves she had.
"My name is Jordis. The Jarl has assigned me to be your housecarl." She lifted her chin a bit as she realized that she didn't want to appear weak to this man who was gazing at her like she was prey.
"Housecarl, eh? That's right, I forgot I get one of you." Luden flashed his canines in a brief, boyish smile before stepping toward her and circling her just a bit. "So you are to do my bidding as I see fit, yes?"
Jordis nodded slowly, following his circle with her head. "I am here to serve you, my Thane."
Luden tsked, lifting up his index finger to wag back and forth in a disciplinary manner as his head shook to match the beat of his mouth. "Shouldn't have said that, my dear."
He finally looked up from his observation to catch her eye, deep yellow eyes burning with hunger. Jordis flinched slightly, taken aback at the strength in his gaze. It was as if he were undressing her with his eyes, and quite skillfully at that. She swallowed slowly and inched forward again to meet him, determined not to back down from her oath she had sworn on her life.
He took a step forward and grabbed the side of her breastplate, gentle pulling at the strings until they were loosened. His eyes looked down at the armor with great interest, a hooded expression causing the full length of his lashes to just touch his well defined cheekbone. Once the breastplate had loosened it fell to the floor with a loud clank, revealing the most beautiful pair of strawberry rose nipples. Luden's canine peeked out past his lip as he looked up to meet her eyes. She returned his look, cheeks red but determination flowering within her own eyes. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close to his hips so he could lean in to touch his lips to her ear.
"Would you be so kind as to pleasure me with your mouth?" He whispered, the sound of her gasp causing his grin to broaden.HelenaParticipantJanuary 5, 2017 at 1:49 amPost count: 141

We report on the fabrication of arsenic tri-sulfide chalcogenide strip waveguides on a sapphire substrate, suitable for guiding 0.55–5 μm wavelengths. Propagation losses measured using the Fabry–Perot resonator technique are . The chalcogenide layer refractive index dispersion is evaluated by measuring the transmission as a function of wavelength prior to waveguide fabrication. Numerical simulations are used to compare between silica and sapphire substrates for mid-IR transmittance and to calculate the waveguide's effective refractive index in a suggested design. The use of a low-loss sapphire substrate redefines the mid-IR boundaries of chalcogenide waveguides for linear and nonlinear applications.

MEXICO CITY, March 26 (Reuters) - Mexico's energy ministry aims to find a middle ground between strengthening state-run oil company Pemex and ensuring major opportunities for new private producers under a landmark energy overhaul, a top government official said on Wednesday.
Under the overhaul, which aims to boost Mexico's oil and gas sector, the ministry must determine which fields Pemex will keep via a so-called "Round Zero" allocation.
Pemex submitted its wish list last week, and now the ministry has until mid-September to decide.
"We have to strike this balance between what Pemex keeps and what the nation keeps to tender to new participants," Lourdes Melgar, deputy minister for hydrocarbons, told reporters.
"We want a strong Pemex," said Melgar, who along with the country's energy minister, sits on Pemex's board of directors. "A vision that aims to shrink Pemex would be very negative and is not an option."
Once Round Zero is complete, Mexico will launch an international bid round for oil and gas development rights each year through 2019, each one covering about 20,000 sq km, she said.
Details of Pemex's list have not been made public, but the oil ministry said Pemex seeks 83 percent of its proven and probable oil reserves and 31 percent of its less-certain prospective resources, which includes its shale and deep-water potential.
Mexico is believed to have 26.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in its territorial deep waters, and Melgar said Pemex is looking to keep 29 percent, or about 8.1 billion boe.
The Perdido Fold Belt, a major deep-water oil deposit that straddles the two nations' maritime border in the Gulf of Mexico, will test the balance, Melgar said.
While hundreds of wells produce more than 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) on the U.S. side of the Gulf, Pemex has no commercial production despite several successful test wells.
Melgar anticipates "great interest" when Mexico launches future bid rounds to auction off rights to Perdido blocks, given existing pipeline and other processing infrastructure in nearby U.S. waters.
She emphasized that seismic studies conducted there by Pemex does not demonstrate sufficient capacity to award Pemex all the Perdido acreage it wants.
Melgar said it is "most likely" that the ministry will approve Pemex's request to keep its shallow water acreage, where the company has shown results over decades of development.
"We're thinking Pemex will keep some of Chicontepec, but we will have to see if it keeps everything it's requesting," she said. The Chicontepec basin is located in the eastern states of Veracruz and Puebla and is home to about 40 percent of Mexico's certified reserves.
Melgar said Pemex's request to keep 15 percent of Mexico's estimated shale resources, or about 8.9 billion boe was reasonable. She stressed, though, that the company had yet to show results in that area.
To date, Mexico has drilled 175 shale test wells, which compares with more than 13,000 permits issued for shale wells in the Eagle Ford formation just across the country's northern border in southern Texas.

For its place in history the 2014
It is a buyer-beware draft, however. A disproportionate number (35) of the top 64 top prospects available are underclassmen, evidence that the 2014 draft, might bring gifted talent yet lack the maturity to live up to expectations. This class is ripe with great expectations and reason for alarm -- all of which makes for the most provocative draft in years. (* denotes underclassmen)
1. South Carolina DE Jadeveon Clowney* (6-5, 266, 4.53): There is no question Clowney failed to live up to expectations in 2013 from a statistical standpoint but as he demonstrated at the combine and again April 2 at his pro day, the South Carolina star possesses a once-in-a-generation combination of size and explosiveness. Whether at defensive end or outside linebacker in a 3-4 alignment, he'll make an immediate impact in the NFL -- precisely why he has been my top-rated prospect since last spring.
2. Auburn OT Greg Robinson* (6-5, 332, 4.92): Physical and tenacious, Robinson is a grizzly bear in the running game, mauling opponents with a blend of size, strength and athleticism. Auburn's reliance on the running game, however, provided Robinson few opportunities in pass protection. With some polish, he could prove to be an Orlando Pace-like NFL presence.
3. Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack (6-3, 251, 4.65): With an FBS-record 16 career forced fumbles and record-tying 75 career tackles for loss, Mack's statistics jump off the page. Against the most gifted opponents he faced last year (Ohio State, Baylor, Connecticut), it was his game that jumped off the screen. He shaved more than a tenth of a second off of his 40-yard dash time during his pro day, demonstrating the athleticism to intrigue scouts from 3-4 and 4-3 teams. That versatility almost certainly will land him a spot in the top six. As I've been reporting since January, some even view him as a dark horse candidate for the Texans at No. 1 overall.
4. Texas A&M OT Jake Matthews (6-5, 308, 5.07): The son of Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews, Jake proves the cliche -- the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He played well at left tackle last season after starring at right tackle for three years and like his father, projects well to any position along the offensive line. While perhaps not an elite athlete, Matthews is a terrific football player, demonstrating impressive technique, strength and consistency.
5. Clemson WR Sammy Watkins* (6-1, 211, 4.43): Watkins lacks the elite size that helped WRs A.J. Green, Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson earn top six selections since 2007, but possesses virtually everything else, including instant acceleration, impressive body control and natural hands to pluck the ball outside his frame. Watkins could go as high as No. 2 to the St. Louis Rams.
6. Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater* (6-2, 214, 4.67): Bridgewater was disappointing during his March 17 pro day, showing less zip and accuracy than in any game I've seen over his three seasons as a college starter. Rather than sling the ball with confidence, he threw tentatively, pushing the ball toward targets and forcing receivers to adjust too often. A case of nerves with an estimated 100 scouts in attendance isn't enough to drop him from my top spot among quarterbacks, especially since Bridgewater previously impressed with his poise and accuracy during big games. With his accuracy and success in a pro-style scheme -- coming to the line of scrimmage with multiple plays and picking the correct one based on the defense -- I believe Bridgewater is the most pro-ready quarterback of the class.
7. UCLA OLB Anthony Barr (6-5, 255, 4.66): Barr's emergence as one of the nation's elite NFL prospects after languishing as a running back early in his career is well-documented. Barr exploded in 2012 in his first season on the defensive side of the ball and backed it up with another spectacular campaign in 2013, including 65 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and five forced fumbles, earning him the Lott IMPACT Trophy. His burst and bend around the corner make him an immediate threat as 3-4 rush linebacker. He shaved nearly a quarter second off of his combine 40-yard dash time at UCLA's pro day, clocking in at 4.44 seconds and improved his numbers in the bench press from 14 to 19.
8. Central Florida QB Blake Bortles* (6-5, 232, 4.93): A prototypically-built pocket passer with good awareness, athleticism and arm talent, Bortles looks the part of an NFL star quarterback. He also played well against top talent (including South Carolina, Penn State and Baylor) and impressed me with his willingness to compete at the combine. He was good -- not great -- during his workout in Indianapolis and his March 19 pro day, demonstrating plenty of velocity but inconsistent accuracy, especially on the deep ball. Bortles did show improved footwork at his pro day, evidence that he may only be scratching the surface of his potential.
9. Michigan State CB Darqueze Dennard (5-11, 199, 4.52): Quick feet, loose hips and a fluid turning motion make Dennard a classic cover corner capable of shutting down half the field. Dennard allowed only three completions in 31 passes of 15-plus yards targeted against him last season, and was recognized with the Thorpe Award as the nation's elite defensive back. A solid workout in Indianapolis eased concerns about his straight-line speed. Critics of his overall athleticism were rebuked with Dennard posting an 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump -- which would have tied Baylor running Lache Seastrunk for the longest recorded from any player tested at the 2014 combine.
10. Oklahoma State CB Justin Gilbert (6-0, 202, 4.37): With the NFL increasingly favoring offenses, the value of playmakers on either side of the ball never has been higher. Gilbert led the Big 12 with seven interceptions in 2013 and returned six kickoffs for touchdowns during his career. There are other defensive backs in this class who offer a more well-rounded game, but in terms of size, agility and speed, no cornerback offers a more intriguing skill-set than the Cowboys star.
11. Alabama OLB C.J. Mosley (6-2, 234, 4.65): While a bit undersized, Mosley might be the country's best pound-for-pound player. Athletic and instinctive, he is a true three-down linebacker capable of making plays against the run and pass. Mosley lacks the bulk scouts want in a pass rusher but his awareness in coverage is special. While the tape is phenomenal, Mosley has undergone multiple surgeries (knee, shoulder) over his career and could be the latest Alabama player to receive medical red flags from some evaluators.
12. Texas A&M WR Mike Evans* (6-5, 231, 4.53): In dominating SEC competition the past two seasons, Evans has earned comparisons to Tampa Bay Bucs star Vincent Jackson, exhibiting a surprising combination of size, strength and speed. He is a nightmare to defend in jump-ball situations, a trait teams are finding increasingly valuable with the size of cornerbacks growing throughout the NFL. Evans sat on his numbers after a strong combine workout, but looked sharp in his cuts and displayed soft hands catching the ball from Manziel at their pro day.
13. Notre Dame OL Zack Martin (6-4, 308, 5.22): The vast majority of Martin's school record 52 career starts came at left tackle but his squareish frame and 32 1/4-inch arms will earn him a projection inside to guard for many. Regardless of where he lines up, Martin plays with the controlled aggression I love along the offensive line, latching on and controlling opponents with excellent strength. Martin was the best player on the field in Mobile.
14. Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald (6-1, 285, 4.68): Given the way he dominated competition in the ACC and at the Senior Bowl and combine, no player has enjoyed a more steady rise up draft boards than Donald. His size likely limits him to a three-technique role in the 4-3 alignment but given the NFL's increasing reliance on the pass, he is entering the league at the perfect time to star in just this capacity.
15. Ohio State OLB Ryan Shazier* (6-1, 237, 4.58): Shazier may lack elite size but his instincts, speed and bone-jarring hits make him a fearful defender that offenses must account for on every snap. Statistics don't always tell the story, but they do with Shazier, whose 143 tackles, including an eye-popping 22.5 tackles for loss, not only led the Big Ten last season, they combined to rank among the best seasons from any Buckeye defender over the past quarter century. Shazier's unique explosiveness also came through in tests. His 42-inch vertical jump led all participants at the 2014 combine and his 10-foot, 10-inch broad jump ranked fourth. Shazier also was unofficially clocked at a staggering 4.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash at his March 7 pro day.
16. Michigan OT Taylor Lewan (6-7, 309, 4.87): Massive, durable and ridiculously athletic for the position, Lewan's talent is obvious. The former defensive lineman plays with the tenacity and physicality you'd expect but remains overly reliant on his natural tools. Further, he sometimes allows his emotions to get the better of him, too often drawing silly penalties throughout his career. His reputation as an instigator wasn't helped with news that he's facing three misdemeanor assault charges based on an incident outside of a bar in Ann Arbor hours after his beloved Wolverines lost to Ohio State last season. Lewan has top 10 talent but in order to maximize his potential, he'll need to show improved maturity in the NFL.
17. Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel* (6-0, 207, 4.68): Manziel's vision, elusiveness and accuracy while on the move make him a magician in the improvisational game. Red flags were raised with mediocre performances against LSU and Missouri to end the regular season, however, as each team was able to contain his backyard-style of play by penning him in the pocket. Unable to create passing lanes with his feet, Manziel struggled with anticipation and accuracy. While there were no defenders at his March 27 pro day, Manziel did throw very well during a scripted 65-pass throwing regimen -- all while taking snaps from under center.
18. Missouri DE Kony Ealy* (6-4, 273, 4.92): While teammate Michael Sam generates more media attention, scouts are increasingly intrigued by Ealy because of his impressive combination of size and athleticism. He led all defensive linemen at the combine with a 6.83-second time in the 3-cone drill -- a test designed to show change-of-direction ability, and shaved more than a fifth of a second off of his combine 40-yard dash time (4.92) at his pro day (4.70). He remains a bit rough around the edges, but Ealy is a highly versatile defender who projects well to the 4-3 and 3-4 alike.
19. Louisville FS Calvin Pryor* (5-11, 207, 4.58): Pryor was overshadowed a bit by Bridgewater in college, but his stock will climb once scouts turn their attention to the instinctive and hard-hitting defender. He measured in smaller (listed at 6-2, 208 by Louisville's official website) and slower than scouts would have liked at the combine but certainly plays big and fast.
20. Notre Dame DT Louis Nix III* (6-2, 331, 5.42): Though neither his combine nor pro day workout necessarily drew oohs and ahhs from scouts for aesthetic (or athletic) qualities, the portly nose guard proved during drills that he is fully recovered from the knee injury which prematurely ended his collegiate career. Stout, strong and surprisingly quick, Nix is the best nose guard of the 2014 draft -- a designation which could earn him a spot in the top 20.
21. North Carolina TE Eric Ebron* (6-4, 250, 4.60): Ebron possesses size a1nd athleticism that has earned comparisons to 49ers star Vernon Davis. Like Davis, however, Ebron struggles with consistency, relying too much on his athleticism rather than dedicating himself to learning the finer techniques of the position. Some team may very well gamble earlier on Ebron's incredible upside than my ranking indicates, but he drops too many easy passes for a spot in the top 15 for me.
22. Oregon State WR Brandin Cooks (5-10, 189, 4.33): Cooks has enjoyed quite the past six months, first winning the Biletnikoff as the nation's top receiver and then $100,000 at the combine from adidas for running the fastest 40-yard dash time for anyone wearing a pair of the company's cleats. The real winner, however, could be the NFL team that takes the dynamic athlete in the first round.
23. Alabama FS Hasean Clinton-Dix* (6-1, 208, 4.58): While Pryor ranks as my top all-around player at the position, Clinton-Dix possesses the fluidity, instincts and ball skills (seven interceptions in 19 career starts) to earn the title of the draft's best coverage safety. Clinton-Dix isn't without red-flags, however. He flashes rather than dominates and wasn't as athletic during combine drills as expected. It is also worth noting how few of Alabama's highly-regarded defensive backs have lived up to their draft status after leaving Nick Saban's tutelage.
24. Auburn DE/OLB Dee Ford (6-2, 252, 4.67): Ford dominated the Senior Bowl with his burst off the edge and surprising power. He has also shown intriguing agility when asked to drop into coverage, making him a candidate for virtually every NFL team. Medical red flags were raised at the combine because of an old back injury, but he worked out quite well at his March 4 pro day. If teams are satisfied with his medical report, Ford is a cinch for the first round.
25. LSU WR Odell Beckham* (5-11, 198, 4.43): Given the competition he faced in the SEC, it is a testament to Beckham's athleticism that he stood out as a big-play threat throughout his career. It is the overall improved concentration and consistency he demonstrated in his first season in Cam Cameron's pro-style offense, however, that makes him such an easy projection to the NFL. Beckham's well-built frame and explosiveness make him potentially dynamic as a receiver and returner.
26. Florida State DT Timmy Jernigan* (6-2, 299, 5.06): Jernigan played a critical role in the Seminoles' run to the BCS title, showing a unique burst to penetrate gaps as well as the leverage and strength to hold up against the run. He possesses a powerful frame that makes him well-suited to handling interior duties in the 4-3 or 3-4 alignment and possesses exciting upside. Only one full season as a starter makes him a gamble in the first round.
27. Southern California WR Marqise Lee* (6-0, 192, 4.52): Lee looked like a future Pro Bowler during his first two seasons at Southern Cal but a nagging left knee injury hampered him for much of the 2013 season, robbing the 2012 Biletnikoff Award winner of his trademark elusiveness and acceleration, and his production plummeted. When healthy, he's proven himself to be a dynamic weapon but in a draft as blessed with receiver talent as this one, Lee's stock is very much on the bubble.
28. TCU CB Jason Verrett (5-9, 189, 4.38): Verrett lacks the size en vogue in today's NFL, but agility and ball skills never go out of style for cornerbacks. While light, Verrett is scrappy and tenacious, making him an ideal nickel corner with the tackling ability to threaten on an occasional blitz. He wowed at the combine with his speed but also raised concerns, announcing that he will undergo surgery after his pro day to repair a torn labrum.
29. UCLA OG Xavier Su'a-Filo* (6-4, 307, 5.04): Despite playing out of position at left tackle because of injuries, Su'a-Filo was voted the top offensive lineman in the Pac-12 by those who'd know -- the conference's defensive linemen. Quick, powerful and balanced, he's equally effective driving defenders off the ball in the running game or settling in pass protection.
30. Fresno State QB Derek Carr (6-2, 214, 4.69): Carr's staggering production (68.2 completion percentage, 50 TDs, 8 INTs) certainly was inflated by coach Tim DeRuyter's QB-friendly spread attack and legitimately talented receiving corps, but any questions about his talent were put to rest with a stellar Senior Bowl week and an eye-popping pro day workout. In short, there is no doubt that Carr is the most gifted thrower in this year's class. But there are questions about his poise, in part because he was 0-2 in bowl games with the Bulldogs.
31. Boise State DE/OLB Demarcus Lawrence* (6-3, 251, 4.80): A gifted pass rusher with enough athleticism to occasionally slip inside or drop back into coverage, Lawrence is eerily reminiscent of Bruce Irvin, the Seattle Seahawks "surprise" first-round pick in the 2012 draft. His length and varied pass-rush skills are enough to intrigue 4-3 and 3-4 teams.
32. Notre Dame DL Stephon Tuitt* (6-5, 304, 4.92): There is no questioning Tuitt's talent. He has shown a combination of size, strength and athleticism to earn comparisons to Richard Seymour from some scouts. However, there are plenty of red-flags with the talented defender, not the least of which was his decision to turn pro a year early despite a disappointing junior campaign that began with him clearly playing his way into shape. Tuitt was then sidelined for the Combine and Notre Dame's Pro Day due to a Jones fracture in his foot. I have some reservations about whether Tuitt will ever realize his potential, which is why he's slipped since the end of the season.
