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

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.

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.

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.

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

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
