Morgri's Mock (only Mock)

[Jaxel]

I do one Mock each year... Seem's to be about that time.

While Safety is important, I don't think Ron Rivera and his staff value it enough to pick on in the first round. Cornerback, however, has been a thorn in their side for years, and they have, contrary to popular thought put a lot of assets into the corner position. Hurney also draft Gamble in the first round many years ago, so he isn't afraid to take a shot at a first round corner.

1. Mike Hughes - Offers solid corner skills as well as strong return skills, allowing us to keep CMC, who is a great returner, off special teams and in a primary roll as a RB.

2. Rashaad Penny - No one values the run attack more than Rivera and Hurney. Our offense has been run first since 1995 and that not changing. As good as CAP can be, the staff does not trust him in games and I don't see that changing. Penny is as solid in between tackler as you can find in this draft, and may not even be here at this pick.

3. Jessie Bates - Now Rivera and Hurney invest in the safety. A good enough player to start, but will probably rotate with the veteran Searcy as the starter and be groomed for the long term starter role.

3-2. Desean Hamilton - A great route runner that offers insurance should Samuels not be ready for the season. Can play inside and out and offers a great option on third downs. Knows how to get open in zone coverage, which leads to high percentage of first downs on his catches.

5. DE

6. LB

7. TE

Thanks for taking a read.

My only argument is drafting people based on "return skills" value is becoming irrelevant, as the NFL is phasing out returns because of the danger with concussions.

which sucks and almost makes special teams useless. the 2005 bears would be ashamed.

No way we wait until 7th for a TE. It will be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

Honest question . do we really need a TE that bad?

[ericr0319]

i wouldnt come out hating that drafting. like Hughes a lot. 

[ColumbusCounty]

If Penny gets drafted here... based off his highlights I'd say he's probably our new returner.

I like it maybe rd 2 grab the bpa at te or g/c but if penny is the pick still an overall good draft

Yes. 

 

If Olsen goes down again we are dunzo. 

[mc52beast]

Not so sure Turner would agree that TE is that far down the list of priorities... 2-3rd round
