I didn't do a mock "offseason with free agency" like chuck did so every is based off current needs and projections without free agency.

All draft projections are based off cbs sports prospect rankings due to the fact that I don't have enough time to do my own.

If you don't like what round someone is picked then do your own draft and put them elsewhere.

I have us picking in the 20-25 reach

1st round- Spencer Drango 6-5 315 OT Baylor- Obvious need and obvious fit for a team with WAY too little tackle depth. He may be picked before this but a man can dream.

Prospect rank: 19

2nd round-Mario Edwards Junior 6-3 294 DE Florida State- With Greg gone and Charles dealing with injuries on and off we could go ahead and have another DE duo in the making with Ealy and Edwards. Plus gettleman loves his defensive ends and who knows if Frank will be back next year.

Prospect rank: 59

3rd round: Cody Prewitt 6-2 212 FS Mississippi- I'm not a Decoud hater but the secondary slowly but surely needs upgrades. Prewitt plays on a very good ole miss team and could have potential. Who knows maybe he and Tre Boston could be the future at safety for us.

Prospect rank: 81

4th round- Ramik Wilson 6-2 232 OLBS Georgia- I know the Georgia defense isn't great but their linebackers are all very solid. The reason I went outside linebacker here is because Chase Blackburn is older and slow and AJ Klein is not the best athlete. Wilson is an athlete who's only major struggle is that he doesn't get off blocks well, which ironically was the same criticism of luuuuuke.

Prospect rank: 115

5th round- Josh Shaw 6-1 200 CB USC- I'm not sure how good or bad this guy really is but based on his measurables we could take a shot. Gettleman likes late round corners and he also likes bigger corners so maybe this guy could be it.

Prospect rank: 127

6th round Michael Dyer 5-9 215 RB Louisville- this guy has loads of talent but has had a troubled/ injury riddled college career. If he gets healthy his last year he could be a steal in the late rounds.

Prospect rank: 180

7th round Leon Brown 6-6 328 OG Alabama- Alabama offensive lineman definitely know how to run block which is something we desperately need. I'm not sold on amini at all and would like to see a completely revamped offensive line.

Prospect rank: 253

Hope you all enjoy let me know what is good, bad and what should be changed.

Pretty decent draft.  I like Prewitt a lot, and see him at strong safety.  I don't know about Shaw.  He's definitely going to be there in the late rounds, but I think we had our share of problem players.  They say lying is one of the worst offenses you can do in this league, and even now we don't know the full story behind his injuries to his feet/ankles.

Drango is def a favorite.

I'm just a little afraid of taking a Baylor OL due to the bust of Danny Watkins and looking like future bust: Cyril Richardson.

makes sense he was just the highest rated and we need a tackle I wouldn't mind if we waited till the second round for a tackle and got a safety or corner in the first.

I forgot he had those issues I tried to stay away from problem players so the next one I do he won't be in. Thanks for the heads up!

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
