Fox Sports 1st mock draft

[unicar15]

If he turns out then he could be the NT we've been looking for since Jenks left. I do think we need OL help more than DL help at this point though...and honestly the bust rate for DTs just seems like it is really high compared to other positions. If he's not a Ngata type player (which it doesn't sound like he is) then it could end up being an epically bad pick. Especially if it means passing on talents like Kenan Allen, Jake Matthews (who could actually be better than Joekel), Jonathan Banks. At this point I think that our 1st round pick should be dictated by who we could get at certain positions in the rounds that come later...

_{I am in the BPA (outside of RB, QB, DE, LB).}

_{I would be fine with the best OL, DB, WR when we pick.}

Even if we pick at 15 I can definately see Hankins being there. You have to realize that QBs will go before we pick, Manti Teo will go before we pick, we didnt have a shot at Joeckel or Star to begin with. Guys like Jarvis Jones and Bjoern Werner will go before we pick. Hankins being there is very reasonable

[Ken]

The next DT we pick has to be a hit. We really need to solidify this position. Not sure if Hankins is that guy, but he has the ability to be.

[Catalyst]

Hankins scares me. He's got injury and consistency issues. Seems like a classic boom/bust player. I'd much rather trade up for Star, even if it means our 2nd rounder. He's going to be well worth it. Adding a Ngata-esque presence to our DL will make Hardy/Johnson even better.

got to many holes to be trading picks away. with beast drafting ans scouting we can shore up / improve multiple positions in this draft.

I do love the combine, but the more we see combine guys "come from nowhere", the we realize that they can do great things in shorts, but the game tape will be king.

Keek is a great example. Tackling machine at BC, but kinda middle of the road at combine.

I hope whichever guy we pick has been a standout on the field.

[CPF4LIFE]

Keek was not middle of the road at the combine. The combine actually improved his stock. He was one of the best performers. Company that with his great game tape and you had a safe pick. I hoping to see that same routine again this year with whoever we pick, its the best way to go.
