Morgri's Mock (only Mock)

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.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
