NCFAN's final pre-draft Mock (post Norman update)


ncfan

Recommended Posts

1st: William Jackson-   I look at this kid and I see Norman.  With DL being so deep CB's will fall.  Jackson is big fast Athletic and a puzzle piece fit for a zone scheme.  Fits what Gettleman wants BPA and big.  Gettleman likes his big guys, reminds me of KB at CB. Won't be Norman right away but will certainly help vs Julio and Mike Evans twice a year

2nd: Sterling Shepard-Solid WR. Explosive, good route runner with great hands.  After back to back top heavy WR classes, the WR's will slide down the board.  Shepard moves right into Cotchery spot in the slot and becomes a Randall Cobb type player real quick for Cam.

3rd:  Carl Nassib- grabbing a corner at the top we have our sights on a potential good future DE to groom under CJ.  Trading away our 4th 7th and a future 5th or 6th (will be easy to let go since we should get a 3rd for Norman next year).  We slide up to the top of the 3rd and Grab Nassib who fell out of the 2nd.  Big Athletic with a top notch work ethic, has Gettleman drooling at the thought of tossing get him in our locker room among some of our stud DL

5th: Max Tuerk-  needs some bulking and work in the weight room.  Let Kalil mentor him until he is ready to retire to make a nice easy transition

I could def. see it happening. I think as far as WR's in round 2 goes it is more likely for Boyd, Michael Thomas, and Cooper being the best guys on the board. My  brain tells me Shepherd, Doctson, and Coleman go very early 2nd. 

Doctson and Coleman will go pretty early in the 2nd.  After that Michael Thomas because his size , some had him slotted the #2 WR prior to the combine, he fits what some teams want as a #1 or true #2.

Then you have Braxton which several teams are Extremely high on.  Have seen his name broker like everyone 1st if not in the 1st in several mocks.

Then you have will Fuller.  His combine caused him to shoot up.  Every year there's that guy that runs a 4.3 and goes from a round 3-5 guy to 1st-2nd guy (see Perryman and Dorsett last year, and Dorsett had Fuller hands)

Then you have the Shepard and Boyd's. I don't see more than 4 WR's going ahead of us in the 2nd especially with the amount of WR's taken round s 1-2 the last 2 drafts and the stacked DL class.

I'd be good with that too.  I like William Jackson's value at our spot, love Shephard, and think Nassib has a lot of potential.  Needs work though.  Would almost certainly be one of those guys that needs three years to develop into something serviceable.

    • They're sneaky good.  Very good.  And they had the personnel to match perfectly against us.   Seattle played really straight forward cover-2 and cover-3 pretty much all day.  They had some nice simulated pressures in cover-3 that baited us to move more quickly than we needed to.  They just totally cooked us.  It was a full Macdonald checkmate against Canales & the offense.       The recipe: Contain the run game enough (check) and have the LB & secondary athleticism to shut us down in the air (check)      For any team that can match our OL's run blocking, just run a cover 2/cover 3 all-day.  Similar to what the Saints did.  Pepper in some simulated pressures to bait Bryce while you're at it.  Bryce doesn't play the best against zone.  Huge weakness, averages like -.09 EPA/P in his career.  How that actualizes - from my eye test as a silly fan, he just doesn't have the velocity for the shorter/intermediates from in the pocket to the outside to get guys the ball in space vs zone.  His best games (Rams, Falcons) was when they had a blitz we caught, went man, or it was a critical down with a misdirect/PA and he had the space to throw a nice ball, sometimes with anticipation.  23rd rated QB against zone.  24th completion percentage against zone.  42nd against zone ANY/A with a clean pocket.  ANY/A being one of the more consistent correlations to wins you can find out of the EPA stuff you'll see nowadays.  He doesn't even crack the top 32 for eligible QBs.    
    • well, I have always said Sam Darnold is Sam Darnold.  Which he always proves to be.  NYJ Sam was at BOA Sunday.   I think Bryce criticism is a one of one.  Because he is unicorn. 
    • JT's Stats for the 2025 season. REC: 29 / YARDS: 190/ TD: 1/ Yards per catch: 6.6 The data seems to indicate that JT is not a huge component of our offense. His presence (or lack of it) is not what cost us that game yesterday. Sanders is a big guy but he seems to go down as soon as contact is made. He hasn't produced any "wow moments" in during his 2 years with the team. So far he's proven to be a JAG. I'd rather see Tremble and Evan on the field as our # 1 and #2 TE's.
