Todd McShay 2 round mock

[Growl]

both Person and Szoke have said CB at 39 in their best guesses. It’s also where the talent is.

id say that’s the favorite, WR or front 7 type still possible based on grade.

possible.  Remember we just hired our first offensive minded coach, and he's already stated we have a good defense, and he wants a good offense.  He's gonna get a QB at one, and he may be thinking we need to protect him, and he's right.

If there are no WRs left, and with two of our IOL recovering from serious injures, he might choose to solidify the line. Worked for the Saints with Brees...you get your QB, you protect him.  Saints spent an incredible amount of draft capitol plus big contracts to protect their QB.

  I'd love a CB or edge, but understand if it's OL.  A prior poster suggested that a guard wouldn't play a snap his rookie year.  We started Icky last year as a rookie....he was a top 10 pick but he also played a much harder position at LT.  We wouldn't even play Gross at LT his rookie season, instead playing him at RT or guard, can't remember.

We'll all have to adjust our thinking to an offensive minded coach.

Which honestly  makes me wonder also about a possible tight end there. It's a chance that Kincaid  and Washington  are there and I'm sure they will have high grades. Washington  also checks off weapon and protection.  There will be a good/possible starter at 39.

You take best player available that’s what the drafts for never draft for need 

We really don't NEED a WR or TE at 39.  Whoaa cam has a fixation on skill positions. Hurst,Thielen, Chark and TMJ will be fine.

I thought Todd McShay said he had a source that has never been wrong that claimed Young was the pick?  Am I confusing him with another person?

McShay said his source has now switched to Stroud and he followed suit.

Kind of tells you, no one knows, maybe not even us yet.

Agree with this. But I can’t help but think need factors into final selections.  Not sure how the sausage gets made but I think if 2-3 players are close you go with the one that fills the ”need”.  Certainly don’t think it’s wise to reach tho.

I always pick QBs wrong. I love Stroud. People bashing Ohio State QBs ranks right up there with the Lawn guy is always wrong, take Young!

Better options at 39: DJ Turner, Keanu Benton, Darnell Washington, Cam Smith, Josh Downs.
 

We’ve got a great offensive line coach and just brought back every starter. We can add depth on the line later in the draft.

I think Turner and Downs are legit. I get the upside on Washington but man, reminds me of another potential TE on our squad. Thought Tremble was a bad pick, one more year to prove me wrong.

Not to get off topic but I noticed disdain on Fitts face while Rhule wanted Tremble ad Chubba, rewatch it , Rhule, so Chubba? Fitts looks like he got farted on.

I think they’re pretty different prospects Tremble has pretty normal tight end traits. Washington’s physical advantages are going to give him a reason to be on the field from day one. He just has a much higher floor than most tight end at draft time.

I agree. Not the same specimens of course but still a projection.
