McGinn's final draft. The only one that matters. Trubs at 1, Panthers get Fournette

This is the guy that talks to all the scouts about individual players.

1. CLEVELAND BROWNS: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Owner Jimmy Haslam intercedes at the 11th hour, deciding that a future with Cody Kessler and Brock Osweiler is like none at all. He made a comparable move with Johnny Manziel (No. 22) in 2014.

8. CAROLINA PANTHERS: Leonard Fournette, RB, Louisiana State

The Panthers got a lot of mileage from Jonathan Stewart (13th pick, 2008) but he’s 30, entering his 10th year and nearing the end. Fournette gives GM Dave Gettleman all the speed he has been seeking.

We'd be very fortunate to stay at 8 and grab Fournette. After all the dust has settled Jacksonville remains our primary threat to him falling, but 1 QB could easily make a defensive player their pick.

I think its crazy he has Corey Davis lasting until 27. If the draft somehow played out like this to where we got Fournette at 8, I'd be all in on trading 40 and 64 to move up to get him. 

Landing 2 of the best offensive weapons in the draft would go a long way towards "evolving" our offense.

There's a late forming *consensus* now that Trubisky will be the #1 pick to Cleveland. Incredible. If the Panthers were in that spot and chose Trubisky over Garrett (even with nothing in the QB cupboard), I would abandon the team until they got a new owner. That poo is ridiculous.

Most likely 2-3 QBs taken at top 15 with 1 WR going in top 10 !

Fournette drops to 8, Panthers move back up again and pick up OJ Howard or McCaffrey.

What have some of his looked like the last few years?

He was ranked the most accurate/second most accurate through 2016. I don't have the source anymore cuz it leads to a 404, but if you search "Jason Boris Mock Draft" youll see multiple reports where the is accredited with being one of the most accurate.

they don't matter, but they definitely kill time. 

For sure, if you don't have much going on, it's easy stimulation/taking point.

People who lose there poo about mocks however, need to find other hobbies.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
