Mock April 4th

Hurney has stated he wants to set up to be able to go BPA.  And I honestly think he will go BPA at the top

That being said

 

1st: Calvin Ridley- How Ridley falls blows most peoples minds.  DJ Moore is the hot new flavor of the week after the combine and workouts, he's shooting to the top of many WR boards.  Sutton is up up there among them too.  With 5 QBs going in the 1st, 2 WRs going off before him.  Ridley gets pushed down.  Hurney and Norv Turner cant help themselves but sprint up and pick him

 

2nd: Justin Reid (via trade)- I just dont see Reid going in the 1st unless we pick him.  And had Ridley not been there he may have been the pick.  Reid falls to the 2nd and Hurney cant just stay put.  He trades up using our second 3rd rounder.    Valued at 150, the pick wouod move us to #40, but we may be able to get a few spots before.  We have seen Hurney jump when he sees a guy he likes (Otah, Brown, etc)  giving up that 3rd sucks for those who hoped we could get 4 guys who can make a impact.  But the likelyhood of getting someone with that other pick would nowhere close outweigh the option of getting Reid.

3rd: Rashaad Penny-  its going to be one of the big backs.  I think Chubb and Freeman go ahead of him.  With a deep RB class, its going to push guys down.  Barkley, Guice, Michel, Ronald Jones, Kerryon Johnson etc all going in the 1st 2 rounds.  The bigger more 1 dimensional guys like Chubb, Freeman, and Penny fall to the 3rd.

5th: Dalton Schultz- much like Kittle last year, Schultz falls.  He is a Y TE or TE2.  Hardly used at all in the passing game at Stanford.  He was a bigtime blocker and a major key in the Run game for CMC and Love.  His coaches claim he has all the tools to be a big factor in the passing game.  He wasnt the Freak athlete Kittle was last year, which is another reason he falls.  Current WR coach got a birds eye view on this kid as he was the RB coach at Stanford.  Schultz can come right in and fill the hole Dickson left 

6th: QB

7th: BPA

I like the way you think. I just started getting heavy into researching specific players by watching condensed full snaps of theirs on youtube. I am very underwhelmed by Reid. I watched a good bit of Penny too and feel like he should make it to the third and probably a good pick for us their. I do prefer Ronald Jones but seems unlikley he'd fall that far. 

I think we are going to part with a third to grab a coveted player, then it should be Ridley in the first, as it seems highly improbable he makes it all the way to us at 24.

won't be upset but I honestly would rather us get MORE picks instead of less. We just have too many needs still and desperately need young talented depth at multiple positions 

 

I should have said "if".    I get that but how many times have we been able to fill needs in rounds 4-7?

I was more referring to picking up extra second and third rounders but your point stands

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
