Bucky Brooks Mock Draft 1.0

6"6" 245 lbs? That's not Peppers replacement but Addison's. Not trying to hate on the guy, but show me a successful sub 250 lbs strong side 4-3 DE and I'll start looking at this guy as a possibility to replace Peppers. I would think 270 lbs for the strong side would be a minimum playing weight. Again, not saying he is not a good player, just not a NFL strong side DE. Anyone have any facts to disprove this?

It's not uncommon for DEs to enter the league under weight. NFL strength and conditioning coaches are good at getting guys to the right weight

Not sure if youve kept up eith Seniorbowl week

Kid came in at 6'6 252 (which is the exact same size as Daniel Hunter for the vikings and only 7 pounds lighter than Derek Barnett), and didnt appear to lose speed.   

He's every bit of 6'6.  I just met him down here and im a little over 6'2.  He towered over me with Arms for days

 

Oh and he's powerful 

 

Thats a 311 pound OT

I doubt it

This draft is extremely deep at DE

Only way he jumps in the top is if he jumps top IMO is if ye jumps one of Ferrell, Gary, Allen, or Bosa.

You not going to have 5 edge rusher go in the top with

2-4 DTs as highly thought of

at least 1 OT in Jonah Williams, at least 2 QBs.  Miami, Denver, Jax, and possibly are QB shopping ahead of us.  And Gettleman feeling the Heat to draft a QB

At least 1 CB, 1LB, 1 WR, the list goes on

yeah, it seems like these "mock drafts" always underestimate teams trading up to draft qb's.  He may be around, he may not.

Yeh,.. supply and demand,..

the shortage of positions will go first and the overstock will drop.

its just what happens.

our team without hurneys BPA thing could end up taking another receiver, corner, or something none of us saw just for the same reasons.

I really hope some of these QBs play really well at the senior bowl or show out at the combine.  I think 2 go before us but would be nice if 3 did but I do agree there is a good chance an quality edge is there at 16.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
