Early Mock

[ncfan]

1. Titans: Laremy Tunsil-Mariota took a beating last year.  Not going to let this continue to happen to the guy they are trying to build the franchise around

2. Browns: (TRADE SF)-  Browns are a dumpster fire right now.  They need a QB (expect Johnny boy to be shipped to Jerry World this year) but need a Ton of other things too.  SF new coach will want his new QB (unless Kelly arrives, this trade won't happen as Kelly will love Kaep)  

SF: Jared Goff- SF would love no other than to start the rebuild around the hometown kid in Goff.

3. Chargers: Joey Bosa- Need some help on D so will go with Bosa who many felt was the top player overall

4. (TRADE) Ravens: Jalen Ramsey-  Baltimore is still looking for that replacement for Ed Reed.  They need help at DB, especially considering they face Brown and Green twice each.  Jags need DB's bad too but the Ravens need them worse.  Swapping with the Cowboys here to secure Ramsey

5. Jaguars: Mackensie Alexander- Alexander is shooting the boards.  With Ramsey gone and Jags needing help at CB, Alexander is the choice here.

6. Cowboys:  Robert Nkemdiche- Picking up Johnny Football from the browns will eliminate them from considering Lynch.  Jerry does not care about off the field issues.  He needs some help on D so of course he goes with the guy who some had as one of the most talented prospects in this class Nkemdiche.

7. Browns:  Laquon Treadwell- Lynch still on the board.  Browns feel they can get better value with the option of getting a guy in the 2nd like the Raiders and Vikings did with Carr and Bridgewater.  Treadwell is a Solid replacement for Gordon and will give the new QB a top goto to grow with.

8.  Dolphins: Myles Jack-  The Phins need to protect their QB, the guy is taking a beating.  They have invested a good amount in the OL even as bad as they've been.  They need help at many spots on D too.  They go with Jack here fill a big hole.

9. Bucs:  Ronnie Stanley-  They could go DL here, but investing on protecting their franchise player is the most important thing.  The kid they drafted in the 2nd last year will be better at RT and is not suited for LT.  Stanley would be a Real good pickup for Winston and the Bucs, giving him 2 young talented guys protecting both sides for him.

10. Giants:  Emmanuel Ogbah-  New coach but think the GM will hire within and stick with giants style football.  Buckner will be higher on some boards but Ogbah will fit them much better.

11. Bears:  DeForest Buckner- perfect 3-4 DE.  Bears need help on D and will jump up and Grab him.  

12. Saints: A'Shawn Robinson-  Need major help on D and will start up front.

13. Eagles:  Paxton Lynch- Again, new Coach wants his new QB.

14. Raiders: Vernon Hargreaves

15. Rams:  Michael Thomas

16. Lions: Reggie Ragland-  Need help on D, and gets it.

17.  Falcons: Jayron Kearse

18. Colts: Taylor Decker-  Have too keep their face of the franchise upright and healthy.  Took a beating this year before ending with a Lacerated Kidney

19. Bills: Shaq Lawson

20. Jets: Connor Cook

21. Redskins: Kendall Fuller

22. Texans: Ezekial Elliot

23. Steelers: Su'a Crevais

24. Seahawks: Jack Conklin

25. Packers: Jarran Reed

26. Chiefs: Jonathon Allen

27. Vikings: Vadal Alexander

28. Bengals: Corey Coleman

29. Cardinals: Jaylon Smith

30. Broncos: Shonen Coleman

31. Panthers: (TRADE)  Texans:  Christian Hackenberg-  O'brian wants his QB real bad, and know the Browns will jump on him.  Panthers have most everyone under contract next year,  though not all will be retained.  Will go ahead and stack up for when we do start having key players cantracts expiring.  Panthers pick up 2016 2nd and 3rd plus 2017 1st.

 

2nd round

 

1. Titans: Derrick Henry

2. Browns: Jonathon Bullard- Houston jumped up and grabbed the last top tier QB.  Browns still have a ton of holes.  Browns run a 3-4 (for now pending new coach) Bullard is a real good potential DE in the 3-4.

3. Dallas: Andrew Billings- Athletic Freak from up the road.  Sets them up with a Real strong front 4 of Gregory, Billings,Nkemdiche, Hardy

4. LA Chargers: Kenny Clark- Bolts find their new Nose tackle in their new backyard.

5. Baltimore: Leonard Floyd- looking for that new pass rusher

6. Browns (via SF): Trade:  Carolina: Carl Nassib- with the acquired pick from Houston, Gettleman sees one of the last top tier DE's sitting and knows he won't make it past Tampa.

7. Miami: Cody Whitehair

8. Jacksonville: Tre'devious White

9. Giants: Jason Springs

10. Chicago: Eli Apple

11.  Tampa: Shaq Calhoun

12. Rams: Ryan Kelly

13. Raiders: Germain Ifedei

14. Rams: Josh Doctson 

15. Detroit: Austin Johnson

16. Saints: William Jackson

17. Colts: Landon Turner

18. Bills: Jeremy Cash

19. Falcons: Shawn Oakman 

20. Jets: Noah Spence

21. Browns: Joshua Perry- Mingo has pretty much ended up a bust.  Perry a local kid and good locker room guy is a Good prospect for 3-4 OL

22. Redskins: Tyler Boyd

23. Seattle: Adolphus  Washington 

24. Greenbay: Jerald Hawkins- Rogers took a beating this year 

25. Steelers: Spencer Drago

26. Vikings: William Fuller

27. KC: Kentrell Brothers 

28. NE: Will Redmond

29. Bengals: Jordan Jenkins 

30. Cardinals:  Aziz Shittu 

31. Broncos: Joshua Garnett 

32. Carolina: Hunter Henry

I am and have always been for trading back.  Love the idea, especially at the end of the first of doing so.

But, I think if a few scenarios where we might sit tight and even move up.

If the right DE or Cb is there, I could see up jumping up a few spots.  Outside chance that we could even take RB Henry there at 31 once we send Stewart off to FA.

REALLY need an impact DE and CB however.  Looking back at the "Giants" history over the 12 years DG was there, they used first rounders a lot on DLineman, secondary and even RB's.  So, I guess it could break either way

[Swaggasaurus]

A dime or two nickels? I still think Gettleman wants the dime. If it were to shake out like this, give me Bronson Kaufusi at DE with our pick and go home with an impact pass rusher

[stirs]

Yes, but at the end of the first round, you are probably looking at 7 cents, not a dime

[stirs]

I don't think Nassib is gonna play at a 43, but a 34 DE.

I don't think he is scheme nuetral, not good enough for that.

CB's, DT's and WR's are deep.  DE, our biggest need, is not that deep.

Gman will earn his money to get us a DE that can apply pressure.

[*FreeFua*]

My Jaelen Strong of this years draft is Michael Thomas. Just doesn't do anything for me. I think he falls into the mid 2nd round. 

[stirs]

Possibly DE Dodd from Clemson would be there at the end of the 2nd?  CB like Eli Apple in the first?  Here's to hoping we have another 3 games to play before diving in deep to the draft

[Soul Rebel]

I think Dodd turned heads against Alabama. If he continues to trend upward at combine and pro-day, he might be out of reach for us in the 1st. I'd love him at 31, but have a feeling his skills have been overshadowed by Lawson all year, and will go just ahead of us in the mid-twenties.
