2017 NFL Draft

Bears taking a safety 3rd. Hmmmmmm. Here's a list of all safeties taken in top 10 since 1991:

Sounds like a home run to me.....

zelezo vlk · Mar 22, 2017

That list is missing Eric Berry

Nice catch: The article I grabbed it from was actually debating whether or not Berry should be a top 5 pick before that particular draft.

zelezo vlk · Mar 22, 2017

Also, I think Mark Barron was as well back in 2012. Adams is as good of a safety prospect in years though, since probably Berry.

Correct. IIRC, Barron was top 7 ish and Tampa took him.

Cook at 29 to GB would be unbelievable value

Mahomes or Kizer first in the 2nd round?

I hope Kizer to the Bears 2nd round.

The Ringer has posted their Mock Draft 2.0, and it has some significant changes.

https://theringer.com/ringer-nfl-mock-draft-version-2-6917921551d6

Of note - no running backs in round 1, and a run on offensive lineman and QBs as they argue desperation in a thin class will push decision making rather than "best available".

1. CLE - Garrett
2. SF - Soloman Thomas (this has become a common pick now, I'm on board)
12. CLE - Malik Hooker
25 HOU - Kizer (ROARSOME)
"The Texans offloaded Brock Osweiler and his terrible contract earlier this month, so now they can start planning for the future with a relatively blank slate. Houston’s moves in the draft last year, especially the selection of speedy wideout Will Fuller in the first round, betrayed Bill O’Brien’s desire to open up the passing game downfield and stress defenses vertically. Kizer has all the arm Houston’s coach needs to execute that style of attack. Plus, he would be taking snaps from his former teammate Nick Martin and throwing deep bombs to his former favorite target at Notre Dame in Fuller. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt that he’d also have DeAndre Hopkins out there, too."

14. Philadelphia Eagles: LB Reuben Foster, Alabama
The Eagles don’t have a pressing need at middle linebacker — Mychal Kendricks is an ascending star at that spot ...

lol this couldn't be more wrong

Reuter 5-round mock draft: Surprise QB lands in Round 1 - NFL.com

Not the biggest fan of these projections, so it's prob dead on to what will actually happen.

Armyirish47 · Apr 5, 2017

In honor of our own IE Mock Draft, ESPN Insider has released a 2 round dueling mock between Mel Kiper Jr. and his love child Todd McShay. Below are a few notes.

Mel Kiper and Todd McShay's dueling two-round 2017 NFL mock draft

1. CLE -Consensus is Garrett
2. SF - Soloman Thomas come on down!
12. CLE - Watson OR O.J. Howard
27. KC - Deshone Kizer (by Kiper): Long term play for the post Alex Smith era
33. CLE - Kizer or Joe Mixon....oof
34. SF - Consensus on Obi Melifonwu: LOVE THIS PICK
52. CLE - Marcus Maye (S from Flo-Rida by Kiper) or JuJu from USC (yuck)

ACamp1900 · Apr 5, 2017

Garrett, Howard, Mixon and Maye???

In the base situation given, I'd take that I guess though I'd rather get a safety at 33 and then maybe take JuJu at 52??

GATTACA! · Apr 5, 2017

Garrett

Howard

Kizer

Juju

Would be fantastic.

ACamp1900 · Apr 5, 2017

I've seen a lot of mocks with JuJu to the Browns... mid draft... makes me wonder if they all just kind of copy each other...

Happy to.

3. Kiper - Hooker (took him over Adams)
McShay - Allen (ignore the bad combine, dude is a monster)

36. Kiper - Chidobe Awuzie: CB from Colorado; (acknowledges shopping spree on secondary, but this is good boost at this spot)
McShay - Quincy Wilson: CB from Florida (samesies, just prefers Wilson for Bears)

Hooker and Awuzie would be a great haul for the def. backfield. Concern on Allen is arthritic shoulders. Daniel Jeremiah in his mock today had them taking Marshon Lattimore in round one.

I am glad it isnt Adams. Kid could end up being a stud, and he did improve his 40 quite a bit today. I just like the other safeties and corners a lil better.

Malcolm Butler, CB with the Patriots signed his tender today and can be traded. He has only visited New Orleans, who looks like the trading partner. Saints and Patriots recently made a deal with Brandon Cooks for NE's 1st round pick (32nd). Will NE get that back? Or do the Saints offer less (their second rounder, 42nd)?

Saints should pay for Malcolm Butler, try to win while they have Drew Brees

I could live with that, though I'd much rather Reuben Foster make it to no.9

Potential Trades

Potential Trades

6 teams that could make a trade during the 2017 NFL Draft

San Francisco - 1(2) - 10 picks. One in each of first three rounds.
NY Jets - 1(6) - 7 picks. One in each of first two. Two picks in third.
Buffalo - 1(10) - 6 picks. One in each of first three rounds.

Trade up candidates
KC Chiefs - 10 picks. Two picks in the third round. One in each of the first two
Cincinnati Bengals - 11 picks. One pick in each of first three rounds.

Saints have seven picks - two in the first, two in the third with one in the second round.

ACamp1900 · Apr 20, 2017

I love the Browns moving up from 12... absolutely loathe it if it's for a QB tho.....
