Day Two Mock in reaction to Day One

Figured I'd throw my thoughts up here for day two now that we took Shaq in the first.

 

2nd pick thoughts:  Hoping that Fisher or Clemmings fall to us at #57 is a pipedream and Gettleman apparently said we won't trade up.  So the absolute best case scenario for us is taking Donovan Smith here if he's available.  I think Smith has potential but I couldn't find enough videos on him to formulate a strong opinion.  My previous favorite 2nd round prospect was Preston Smith but there's no way in hell Gettleman can go defense in the 1st AND 2nd considering the state of our team...can he?  Please say no.

 

3rd pick thoughts:  If we go OT in the 2nd, I think the 3rd will be BPA among WRs and RBs.  This pick doesn't change from before the draft started.  Best case scenario for us here is Justin Hardy.  Maybe if Ameer Abdullah or some other RB they like is available and Hardy is gone a RB would be a good pick.  Or maybe there's another OT here and we double dip.  I wouldn't be mad at that.

 

Best case scenario for Day Two:

 

2nd.  Donovan Smith, OT

3rd.  Justin Hardy, WR

Follow up. Apparently I got bad Intel about Gettleman saying he won't trade up. If we use our 4th to move up we could probably go around 10 spots higher (totally made that number up, sounds right to me). Halfway in the second I could reasonably hope one of these players is available: Fisher (doubt it), Clemmings (more likely), Devin Smith (possible), and maybe luck strikes us and it is announced right before our pick that Lael Collins is completely cleared of any suspicion and we get him. This is now what I'm hoping for.

Our #57 pick is value at 330.

Our #89 is 145

Our #124 is 48

The tradable 5th rounder is #161 worth 27.

 

Suppose we traded both #161 and #124 plus #57 that would give us 405 value points putting us in range to trade to #49(410) or #50(400).

 

I don't think that is worth it considering our success in drafting recently.

 

I do however think if you can trade number 57 and 89 to the 41st pick to get a guy like Devin Smith you do it, but I am thinking more about the roster not being able to add very many rookies more than anything.

 

On my personal board I see 6 players I had with first round grades and about 15 more that I would like to have before #57.  Obviously, that would leave us short by about 4 players.  That in my opinion is the worst case scenario, and we have to reach on a guy that might have gotten to us in the 3rd.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
