Forgot to add my mock draft to this:


1.) Oakland - Andrus Peat - OT, Stanford
- If Carr struggles to end the year, they could and SHOULD go with Mariota here. But if they stick with Carr, they need to get a LT to protect him.

2.) New York Jets - Marcus Mariota - QB, Oregon
- It's a wrap for Geno. They gonna have a new coaching staff next year, and that new coaching staff is gonna want their own franchise QB.

3.) Jacksonville – Leonard Williams – DE/DT, USC
- They get the best player in the draft at No. 3. Hard to beat that.

4.) Tampa Bay - Jameis Winston - QB, FSU
- I think he will undergo a lot of scrutiny in the offseason and fall on some boards, but Tampa cannot afford to pass up the guy from their home state. They would have to fold that franchise if they pass on him and he goes on to be a franchise player.

5.) Atlanta - Randy Gregory - DE, Nebraska
- I doubt Atlanta ends up picking this high, but this is where they are for now. They need defense badly.

6.) Tennessee - Connor Cook - QB, Michigan State
- Tennessee will have a new coach and they have to cut bait on Locker. Cook will shoot up draft boards like Bortles did.

7. Washington - Dante Fowler - DE, Florida
- Their whole team looking but they need a pass rush badly.

8.) St. Louis - La'ell Collins - OT, LSU
- This is a good trade-down candidate.. man, that run on QB's gonna be crazy If Rams miss out on the top 3 QB's or decide to keep Austin Davis, they need to protect him, especially with another ACL injury for Jake Long.

9.) Minnesota - Marcus Peters - CB, Washington
- I'm tempted to say Todd Gurley, but Jerick McKinnon is looking real good no homo, so I think they go with a potential shutdown corner here.

10.) New Orleans - Trae Waynes - CB, Michigan State
- They won't pick this high, but if they do.. that D is

11.) Chicago - Landon Collins - S, Alabama
- They could use a lot of help on D. Doubt they are this high either, but Collins would be a great pick for them.

12.) New York Giants - Vic Beasley - DE/OLB, Clemson
- They need to get after the QB. That D-line is atrocious.

13.) Carolina - Brandon Scherff - OT, Iowa
- They need a lot of help, but one of the biggest is their O-Line can't protect Cam.

14.) Houston - Ifo Ekpre-Olomu - CB, Oregon
- They'll be salty they missed out on the top QB's, but O'Brien strikes me as the kind of coach who will try to mold a middle-round QB. They need some help at DB.

15.) Cleveland - Shane Ray - DE/OLB, Missouri
- They could go WR here, since Gordon is so unreliable, but I think they will stack their front 7 some more and grab a WR in the second. Ray may be a top 10 pick when it's all said and done.

16.) Miami - Todd Gurley - RB, Georgia
- Yes, he will fall to 15, and yes Miami will not be able to pass on him. They ain't giving up on the Tannchise yet, and so they're gonna pair him up with a stud RB.

17.) Kansas City - Kevin White - WR, West Virginia
- KC offense badly needs a big-time threat in the passing game.

18.) Cleveland (from Buffalo) - Amari Cooper - WR, Alabama
- They get their WR here to pair up next to Gordon.

19.) Pittsburgh - PJ Williams - CB, FSU
- 4 CBs in the first 18? I see it. NFL teams can't stop the pass and Pitt could use the DB help.

20.) San Francisco - Shawn Oakman - DE, Baylor
21.) Seattle - Devin Funchess - TE, Michigan
22.) Baltimore - Melvin Gordon - RB, Wisconsin
23.) Cincinnati - Shilique Calhoun - DE, Michigan State
24.) Green Bay - Erik Kendricks - LB, UCLA
25.) San Diego - Jaelen Strong - WR, Arizona State
26.) Indianapolis - KeiVarae Russell, CB, Notre Dame
27.) Philadelphia - Ty Montgomery - WR, Stanford
28.) Detroit - Cedric Ogbuhei - OT, Texas A&M
29.) Arizona - Shaq Thompson - OLB, Washington
30.) New England - Eddie Goldman - DT, FSU
31.) Denver - Denzel Perryman - LB, Miami
32.) Swagboyz - Cody Prewitt - S, Ole Miss

After the past few drafts I aint taking no LT with the #1 pick


They aint living up to that

Dolphins run game is fine why would we take Gurley in the first round

 

[Trip]

Is Mariota the truth or what...I've barely seen him. God help us if the Jets draft another shyt QB.

It makes sense if OAK is riding with Carr. Gotta put an O-Line in front of him and it will help the run game too. They could take Leonard Williams though.

Gurley is BPA. He's a franchise back, and if he's there at 16, is the fact that you have Lamar Miller on your team really gonna stop you? Miami could use a DB but I don't think they should reach for one at that spot.

Yes.. he's got raw talent and is nowhere close to being refined. When a good NFL coach gets their hands on him he will be elite in today's NFL. He's a much more accurate Kaep.

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

oh yea no way Cooper fallling out of the top ten

 

[BigE214]

AJ Stamps

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

oh yea no way Cooper fallling out of the top ten

People overrating Cooper. He is gonna measure in around 5-11/6-0 and run somewhere around a 4.5 40. No way in hell is he a top 10 pick.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Bet Oakland trades that first for a kings ransom

I could very well see that happening

 

[WaddupDoe!]

At least bless my Eagles with Jaelen Strong or Pj Williams.

But i agree with most of your rankings. ILB i would switch 2 with 1. Also you seem Shaq & Kendricks has OLBs? I see both as ILBs, Kendricks has no pass rush ability. Maybe blitzing but not pass rushing.

But nonetheless nice work bruh. Much respect.

Hopefully to my Eagles so we can get Da Gawd Mariota.

I am a little higher on Kendricks as a pass rusher than you are but you right.. I actually have him going to GB to play ILB.


Philly would be fine getting Montgomery. Honestly I like him as much as Strong. You gotta factor in the trash offense and QB play at Stanford compared to what Strong working with at ASU. Montgomery is really good.

What crazy is Eric's brother was Myckal was a OLB in college but is a ILB now. They just dont have the size or pass rush skills to play OLB. On stop of that the ability to set the edge in the run game. I do think Eric as a ILB could be a stud, dude is a tackling machine.

Ive liked Montgomery have been a fan since i first say him play Lucks last year at Stanford. But i dont just something about Montgomery makes me think he wont be special at WR. Now as a KR/PR he can be special. Jaelen Strong on the other hand i think can be Andre Johnson. I would be fine with either one but Strong is the one i would bang the table for.

I think he Could be an OLB in a 4-3, or a Tampa 2. But yeah he's not an edge rusher.

Strong vs. Montgomery.. I think part of the problem goes back to the offenses, like I said. ASU is a spread, hurry up, throw the ball while Stanford is slow, plodding, run first. I like Montgomery a lot and I think he will rise big at the combine. He's a better athlete than any of the top WR's in this draft. He's just not as refined with his technique, despite the fact that he plays in a pro style offense, he hasn't really gotten pro style coaching, but I think scouts will fall in love with his speed and athleticism.
