Bored, so Here's my Mock


Recommended Posts

Last years draft above

 

Well folks, the season is over and we need to clean house. This whole season has been terrible, and Ron will go from COTY to unemployed in less than a year. Quiet crazy. Anyway, to deal with this, I'm throwing up a mock draft in november

 

1. Amari Cooper - WR

Amari Cooper is our first pick. I believe that Brandon Scherff will be gone by the time we pick and I don't think we'll reach for Andrus Peat. Any other O-lineman really shouldn't be on the radar with a top 10 pick. Cooper really has it all, great speed, route running, and hands. Cooper is essentially a better Odell Beckham from last years draft and he went top 15. He is not going to be as elite as Randy Moss was, sorry Cris Carter, but he should be a good pro. Let's be real here, Kelvin is a GREAT option but he in no way should be the number 1 receiver with the drops he has and lack of separating skills (something that goes way back with him). Pairing Cooper up with Kelvin, Olsen, and whoever the fug we keep between Cotchery and Avant (I'd prefer Avant) should make a good receiving combo for our (hopefully) new OC that embraces 21st century football.

Other Options- Brandon Scherff (If he's still there he's the pick), Ifo Olomu, Landon Collins, Todd Gurley

 

2. Ereck Flowers - OT

Good God someone save this o-line. Flowers has first round talent but has been injured this year and has missed some games. We can't wait any longer to pull the trigger on an o-lineman. Ereck is a 6'6" 324 pound beast who would immediately be better than what we have at OT. Bell could become twice as good as he is now and Ereck could sit on his couch all offseason, and Ereck Flowers would still be the better option.

 

Other Options- Kurtis Dummond, Cameron Erving, Jake Fisher

 

3. Karl Joseph - SS

 

Karl+Joseph+Baylor+v+West+Virginia+nG9gT

 

Joseph is a pretty good SS who should be gone in round 3. Tough and very physical, he's started all the games in his college career. Very versatile athlete who can rush the QB and put on pressure, as well as cover the slot receiver (which he has done well, albeit against not the toughest of competition). We can finally send Roman Harper to the retirement home with this pick.

 

Other Options- Sean Hickey, Mike Davis

 

4. Duke Johnson - RB

 

Duke is a good option at RB. He has been second team all ACC in 2012 and 2013, and is currently having his best season yet. So far he's rushed for over 1200 yards and 9 tds with the Hurricanes. We probably will finally cut D-will in the offseason, and when Stewart gets hurt again we can have Duke be serviceable.

 

5. Cody Riggs - CB

 

A good CB from university of notre dame. Transfer from Florida to Notre Dame and immediately became captain of a good Fighting Irish defense. Good size and speed. As norman and  benwikiware move outside, this guy could be our next slot man

 

6. Jemaria Rascou - DE

 

The 6'3" 247 pound LSU tiger could be a great addition to our DE rotation. Currently has 4 sacks on the year.

 

7. Rob Havenstein - OT

 

Depth at OT where we desperately need it. Wisconsin linemen turn out to be pretty good so why the hell not? Certainly better than having a DT playing RT. Though I fully expect Gettleman to sign a FA RT as starter.

 

So there you have it. As mentioned above, I expect some moves in FA for an OT this year with Hardy off the books, and we'll draft accordingly.

Love the first two picks.  I don't think Peat would be a reach, but it's hard to pass up on a guy like Amari Cooper.  From my perspective, he falls into the "once every 10 years" category of NFL prospects.  Duke Johnson will probably be gone by the early 2nd round.  A lot of good running back talent in this draft.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
