Reading tea leaves mock

[TheSpecialJuan]

tremendous work 

[Black&BlueBubba]

Nice write up.  Just a couple thoughts. 

I really hate the idea of trading up. We are not one player away and have holes everywhere including depth.  While I’m not a fan of Dillard over Sweat or Burns I would rather have Dillard and keep the 3rd in this deep draft pick. I also would not be surprised to trade down and get Murphy late first.   He is by far the best zone corner in the draft and would be a true #1  

2nd rd.  If we go OL/DL in the first I think we will look at the highest ranked players either st S or CB.  The CB’s you mentioned I do think will be there in the 3rd   Of the CB’s we visited I think only Joejuan Williams and Jamel dean will be there in the 3rd.  My pick in the second would be either Lonnie Johnson or Savage  

in the 3rd I like one of the tackles though again I think Tytus Howard May be gone. That dude has visited 24 damn teams. Someone will jump on him in the 2nd. Also think McGary is gone before third.   I like Bobby Evans in the 3rd or Scharping. in the 4th  

i get the feeling they will try to get a QB depending on round and value.  

Hopefully I am wrong and some of the guys I think will be gone are still available. But for the god sake please don’t trade up

In prior years, it seemed like we only took a player we met with in the first... I recall a lot of folks that we met with might come thru when they were an FA (Ie: Dorian Johnson).

Might have been a GM thing. I haven't gone back to see Hurney's history.

Reading tea leaves is looking at random things and telling someone's fortune. Looking at indicators and evidence is making an educated guess.

Just saying

I think you nailed it. I like the picks

With Gettleman I think we always met with our 1st rounders at least. I don't think that was always the case with Hurney

Where you attempting to actually add anything to the discussion or are you just trying to be "that guy"?

2nd: FS- this is a Strong Safety class.  Also the way the leagues works (you use FA to help set up the draft), this Strong FA crop combined with this overall draft class is going to push them down.  1-2 Tops Safeties will go round 1, with a possibility of 1 more going before our pick.  I think Gardner Johnson will be the first one off the board like you see many of these writers put in their latest mocks. 

We have met we with Adderley, Thorhill, Savage, Rapp, and Abrahm.  All guys who have been mentioned boarderline 1st round guys.  

Adderley, Thornhill, or Savage will be the pick.  All 3 will not be gone by the time we go up for our 2nd pick

To your point: Per Lance Zierlein, check out these 8 safeties with pretty much the same grade. 

This is the reason Marty Hurney didn't sign a safety in free agency. He knows we're going to have our choice of guy in the 2nd/3rd round.

I wondered what the term really meant since it gets used here every year. Seems it doesn't fit the situation at all. 

Y'all can get back to saying the same things over and over In every thread. Sorry to distract from saying the same names.

So, if you look at nfl.com prospect rankings, Burns is ranked #32 overall.

for the BPA crowd, is that considered a reach?

[pantherclaw]

No qb? Must not be reading the tea leaves. 

[Reebis21]

With this being a deep safety class, who in your opinion are the top Free Safeties? Just asking since Reid is more of a SS.

Yea I remember the last few we seemed to meet with our 1st rounder, but then we would never pick any of the other visits (maybe a cpl of exceptions?). But Johnson and a few others would come thru as a camp body it seemed later down the line. 

Would be interesting to go back and see if we have the data points available from Hurney's previous tenure to see any patterns he might have in regards to player visits (including 2018)
