Ruff's Penultimate Mock!


Ruff

Recommended Posts

I know I said that I did my last mock, but, it's just too damn fun to stop. This is my penultimate mock, meaning, I think this is going to be what closely resembles what happens the day of the Draft. There is no fake trades, no dream scenarios. I didn't pick people in a dream-scenario place.

1st Round, Pick #9 –Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State

I like the Punter pick. I feel like with all the hype about Joe Adams someone is going to take him in the 3rd.

Darron Thomas doesn't make sense. The only thing he has remotely in common with Cam is his skin color. He's tiny and doesn't run the ball well. He played in a spread but it wasn't really an option spread like cam. His arm is weak. I think the reality is Cam is one of a kind. You're not going to get anyone remotely close to him. You might as well develop the guys already on the roster. Jimmy is way better than Darron Thomas, it's not even close.

I'm skeptical of Tru. Nothing against him but Rashard Anderson ruined small school DBs for me.

I would like to see us pick up a late round safety. It won't happen because we just signed two but I'd love to send Sherrod Martin packing.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
