Todd McShay thinks Orlando Brown will fall to us in his first Mock.

[Pantha-kun]

Here's some recent mock draft R1 picks for us :

CBS Sports: Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma

Sandiego Tribune : Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson

Bleacher Report : Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson

Walterfootball : Austin Byant, DE, Clemson

SB Nation : Clelin Ferrell , DE, Clemson

Draftteck: Dorance Armstrong , DE, Kansas

NBC Sports : James Washington , WR, OK State

Draftsite : Harold Landry, DE, Boston College

 

So most places have us getting a DE. If I remember correctly around this time last year, a bunch of places were having us draft another cornerback lol, with the same tripe about us losing norman and needing a corner. This year its the same regurgitated statements about our DEs being old and they assume we'll just reach for whatever DE happens to be on the board when we draft.

Then it gravitated after the season was over to us getting fournette, and THEN almost all of them for a month prior to the draft correctly guessed we were getting mccaffrey. So looking into these mocks is usually a waste of time until the combine is over and people get inside information from teams.

Walter Football has Ronnie Harrison at 32 this week.  He was our pick last week on their site.  That’s target numero uno.

20+ teams aren’t passing on a surefire day 1 impact DE or OT, but may very well a SS.

stoopid 

[Pantha-kun]

almost all the mock draft sims ive done over the past month have had quarterbacks,  pass rushers, safteys , cornerbacks, and oline picks front loading the draft and almost all the WRs being pushed near the bottom . Must not be a great draft for WRs . Just skimming through them there doesnt seem to be any dominant ones, just good or very good. James Washington probably fits us the best , Christian Kirk looks like a slot WR,  Sutton looks like a possession guy, St. Brown looks decent but probably wont have break away speed in the NFL . Not sure any of them are worth 1st rounders

Yeah, the WR's in this Draft are very underwhelming.  We're better off going in FA than looking for one in this Draft.  Unless we want Mark Andrews.

If there is an OT good enough to be picked #24 overall, he won't be available at #24 overall. So I'll have to read more about this guy

thats not great logic. Ramzcyk was the 2nd OT taken last draft and he's starting for probably the leagues best run blocking oline on the Saints. And Bolles was taken around pick 20 for Denver, he was the first OT off the board. And then Cam Robinson was taken high in the 2nd round by the Jags.

Ive got in my mock

1st: (SS)  Ronnie Harrison

2nd: (FS) Armani Watts

3rd a: (DE) Josh Sweat

3rd b:  (WR) Dante Pettis

Decent but certainly not flawless so far on the field, Ramzcyk’s injury history and dedication to football, and Cam’s major off the field incident couldn’t be overlooked either, and may rear their ugly head at some point.  Barnett also abused Bolles in the Eagles/Broncos game.

You Don't Want McGlinchey. Just No. If you think Kalil can't handle speed rushes, McGlinchey has him beat. You should want Quenton Nelson his partner at LG. I feel there's a possibility of losing Andrew Norwell to free agency. If he leaves a guard is needed. I feel Moton is being groomed for college position at RT and may eventually replace Williams.

Another guard who's realistic if we are at high 20's is Will Hernandez another guard from UTEP. Those two have guaranteed starter and pro bowl/all-pro upside.

DE is probably the biggest need long/short-term, but I'm just not excited for any prospects within the 20s range.

[DamnItJake!]

I laugh at these early so called drafts.. smokescreen Mayfield is the #1 QB..sorry!!

I don't watch college football much. What would you guys say are the strongest positions coming into the draft this next year?

QB is really good this year, and that's actually a good thing for us. Provided some Juniors come our, there's a real possibility there could be 5-6 QBs in the first round (even if I don't think some of them should go in the first) which could have some really good players fall through the cracks

Other than that, this is a really good defensive draft. Really good S throughout the first two rounds, solid CB throughout the draft, and DEs are looking a lot better than I thought after Chubb and Key.

OT is okay from what heard, WR is pbbt after the first three, though there's some guys I like in 2nd-3rd that can be a solid #2 WR 

[ECUPantherFan]

People... people... we all know who is going to be our 1st round pick.

Alex Cappa: OT - 6'7" 305lbs - Humboldt State University (D2)
