Jeremiah's final mock: Mock Draft 4.0

Baker Mayfield at #1

Saquon Barkley at #2

Jets take Sam Darnold at #3

Bills trade up and take Josh Allen at #4

Bucs get Derwin James (@%$#)

Local kid Jaire Alexander goes to the Packers at 14.

Two TEs go in short order as the Ravens take Dallas Goedert and the Cowboys take Hayden Hurst.

Frank Ragnow goes to the Bengals.

Patriots take Lamar Jackson at the pick just in front of the Panthers.

And at 24, the Panthers take...Isaiah Oliver.

Still available at the Panthers pick: Harold Landry, Mike Hughes, Mike Gesicki, Isaiah Wynn and DJ Moore, who Jeremiah has falling out of the first. Local kid Mason Rudolph also doesn't make it to the first either (many have projected he could).

I like Oliver and I wouldn’t be upset if we take him at #24, but in that scenario I’d rather have Moore or Landry. Norv seems to love Moore and lord knows we’ve needed help at WR seemingly forever. But, I think Landry is our blue goose this year. I think he’s the best pure pass rusher in this draft and you don’t often get a crack at a guy like that in the 20s. I think he needs to add some strength and weight to hold up against the run as a 4-3 DE but we would have the luxury of being able to use him in a rotational designated pass rushing role this year with Peppers and Addison as starters.

Here's Mayock's final mock for comparison.

NFL.com

Darnold is #1 here.  Both guys have Derwin James to the Bucs, Jaire Alexander to the Packers and Frank Ragnow to the Bengals. Mayock has Lamar Jackson being taken by the Ravens.

Panthers take Calvin Ridley over D J Moore (who goes to the Saints) and Hatden Hurst (Jags).

Uh oh...

Offensive tweets made by Josh Allen in high school unearthed

Quote

The tweets, all of which have since been deleted, were published by Yahoo Sports. Some contain some racially insensitive, and well, just stupid messages. The kind of things dumb high school kids say, if those high school kids grow up without realizing there are certain words they don’t get to say, even if they use the casual version that ends with an “-a” (though there were a few that include the full “N” word).

Rumors floating around that Payton likes Lamar Jackson from Louisville. Wouldn’t be surprised if the kid goes in the early teens.

Im trying not to remember that we have Hurney running this draft. Hopefully Turner has his ears and he is listening.

From the story...

Quote

Although the NFL said it hoped Garcia would come to the event regardless of whether or not the Bucs actually had a pick for him to announce, Garcia wrote on Twitter that he sees no point.

“I took myself out,” Garcia wrote. “There’s not a pick & there’s not time for me to just hang out, Dad first. Proud of my time as a Buc, love the fans. I left everything on the field for that team, broken nose, broken back, a NFC South Div Title. No regrets. Hope that they have a great draft.”

Garcia also seemed to think that media coverage of his “could care less” remark painted him unfairly, writing, “the media grabs only what they see as controversial and exploits it without any repercussions.”

So...yeah.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
