Tony Pauline's mock draft (worst possible scenario for us)


TheSpecialJuan

Recommended Posts

#1

Cleveland Browns

Myles Garrett

DE

Texas A&M

Analysis: The Browns did a good job last April making trades and collecting extra selections. The problem started when they used those picks. The Browns must start collecting great football players and Myles Garrett gets them headed in the right direction.  

 

#2

San Francisco 49ers

Solomon Thomas

DE

Stanford

Analysis: On one hand Thomas doesn’t make sense when you consider the 49ers took defensive linemen in the first round the past two drafts. But like Cleveland, the 49ers must take best player available and start collecting potentially great players. Thomas is loved in many areas of the scouting world and makes sense as BPA.

 

#3

Chicago Bears

Jonathan Allen

DL

Alabama

Analysis: Defensive line is a legitimate need, and despite a poor combine performance Allen is a terrific player on film who will flourish in the Bears system.

 

#4

Jacksonville Jaguars

Leonard Fournette

RB

LSU

Analysis: The Jaguars have drafted for need for years and it has cost them dearly. Fournette is BPA and immediately upgrades the running game.

 

#5

Tennessee Titans (via Los Angeles Rams)

O.J. Howard

TE

Alabama

Analysis: I’d prefer to put a receiver or cornerback here, but Howard rates higher than any player at those positions on my board and tight end is a need for the Titans. He also offers Marcus Mariota a big-time target and will help as a blocker.

 

#6

New York Jets

Malik Hooker

S

Ohio State

Analysis: Jamal Adams may be a better fit for the Jets system but he’s too much like Calvin Pryor -- best up the field and in the box. Hooker is like having a cornerback who stuffs the run in the middle of the field. In the end I believe the Jets will trade out of this spot.

 

#7

Los Angeles Chargers

Jamal Adams

S

LSU

Analysis: Adams is not the true free safety the Chargers would prefer but improves the position the day the team selects him.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
