One NFL GM's Top Ten Predictions


Mr. Scot
 Share

Recommended Posts

Via Mike Sando in the Athletic...

1. Jaguars: Evan Neal

2. Lions: Aidan Hutchinson

3. Texans: Kayvon Thibodeaux

4. Jets: Kyle Hamilton

5. Giants: Ikem Ekwonu

6. Panthers: Trevor Penning 

7. Giants: Devin Lloyd

8. Falcons: Garrett Wilson

9. Broncos: Jermaine Johnson

10. Jets: Chris Olave

Regarding the Panthers pick...

Penning does not appear in the top 10 of most mock drafts, but the GM thought the 6-foot-7 prospect deserved consideration even higher than this.

“Penning won’t get past Carolina,” the GM predicted.

The GM said he thought there would be sufficient tackle options at No. 6, including Mississippi State’s Charles Cross, for Carolina to stay in this slot and land one.

But the Giants don't need an OT... or so I've been told by some here.  Even though countless mocks have them doing so.  Yes, Cross is our best option unless the Jets go defense...which I've stated a few times now.  The Giants may pass on Cross if Ekwonu/Neal are gone because he's a pure tackle without the guard flexibility.

Yeah, that stung me too.

I literally yelled at my TV when Detroit took Sewell.  Did Detroit necessarily need a tackle?  No, but again teams stack their board and he was likely the top guy remaining when they were on the clock.  Last draft stung me twice early by having both Lance and Sewell...my #1a and #1b guys snatched up before we had a chance to draft them.

It stung we thrice when we passed on Slater. That was my dude.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
