RSP contributor Eric Stoner joins Bloom On the Couch 10 days before the draft for a great discussion from the trenches and off-ball linebackers:

• Who was part of the Draft Mehcca crew?
• The two archetypes of quarterbacks
  • High-variance and efficient
  • Examples of both
  • Why Mariota compares to Matt Ryan
• On Leonard Williams’ prospects
  • Why he’s already at his peak.
  • What combine drill correlates to interior pass rushing?
• Andrus Peat: Stoner’s top tackle prospect in this draft and how he got “John Martin-ed.”
• On OT D.J. Humphries.
• OT La’el Collins and why “big draft” is somewhat down on him.
• OT Ereck Flowers and what makes him a one-dimensional prospect and how he struggles as a pass protector.
• OT Jake Fisher and why his fit to scheme is narrow.
• OT T.J. Clemmings and what a team is getting and why he’s considered a top-50 pick.
• Why Stoner values a nasty demeanor in linemen.
• Off-ball linebackers and why its like the 2013 RB class and clustered in talent.
• LB Paul Dawson and why he disagrees with Greg Cosell on Dawson’s skill to read the field and shoots down the Chris Borland comparisons.
• Hot Fantasy Tip on the Jacksonville Jaguars: Allen Robinson will get insane volume of targets in 2015.
• Eric Stoner on RB Denard Robinson now versus his pre-draft thoughts.
• On San Diego trading away Philip Rivers and why a team is selling big media on Mariota as a great draft prospect.
