Mock Draft

Recommended Posts

Firstly, I will have two scenario's. One in which we address Dline first, and the second where we go in another direction. I will only cover the first two picks, because the rest are so up for grabs, and honestly, I have no been looking at every player in the nation to know who to choose in the later rounds.

Here is scenario one:

Round 1- Fletcher Cox DT Mississippi State

This guy is a beast, and has freak athleticism, he may not be a stud against the run just yet, but he will get penetration, and will most definitely get sacks.

Round 2

Jayron Hosley CB/PR Virginia Tech

This guy has great speed, and has great ball skills. He seems like the biggest baller in the cornerback class, he has swag and he likes to get to the ball. He is a straight playmaker. Worse comes to worst, he would be a great free safety for us.

Scenario two:

Round 1

Stephon Gilmore CB South Carolina

Yes, I can feel the hatred. However, this guy has decent tape, and great measurables. The upside for this guy is so high. Yes, I know you can pull up some tape showing him having a bad time, but he simply has the measurables, and is only getting better

Round 2

Nick Perry DE, USC

This guy would provide immediate help on the opposing side of Charles Johnson to wreak havoc. I feel like this guy is one of the safer picks you could make in this draft, and it is a great value pick here, while also filling a need.

These are my two scenarios, in which two needs are filled, and with premium talent.

Like bothe scenarios. I just don't want a cb in round 2. I feel like we don't need sub par talent at that position. Kinda the same way with DTs. Unless u get them early I don't want them. I know it's round 2 but I just dont like any of the corners in round 2 unless its Jenkins

I agree. Not a talent scout or anything but to me the drop off in DL from 1st to 2nd is not that bad. CB seems to have a much greater dropoff. That said I lean towards CB in the 1st

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
