My Cowboys have plenty of holes to fill in the secondary. I believe the D- line makes everybody's job a little easier. Charles Harris is a 2nd team all SEC standout with the speed off the edge we definitely need. Missouri has produced some quality pass rushers in last few years. This draft is deep on defensive talent and my boys are going to remake this defense. Expecting big things from Sean Lee and Jaylon Smith in 2017. COWBOY NATION!! On to the 2nd round.

Does anyone else wonder what this draft would look like if none of you had read a mock draft?

That's kind of like asking what the real NFL draft would be like if GMs didn't do any research.

Or scouts not going to games, practices, the combine, etc to scout players.

Sherm if you want to make the pick go ahead. Need to keep this moving.

Do it. I can't handle the pressure.

Probably pretty similar, as long as everyone is using realistic player rankings and drafting for need.

You know, which most mock drafts do.

Sorry had no idea I was supposed to be picking for the Jets.

If true, keep your eyes on the Obit page for a guy w 1st initial A last name starting with Camp

Report: Browns split between Myles Garrett, Mitch Trubisky at No. 1

Soooo, with a recent real-life trade for a pass-rush specialist and some news coming out of Cincy about what they might do, I would re-do my first-round choice, grabbing on offensive playmaker (despite the huge value of Allen at pick no. 9) and rely on grabbing difference makers on defense in rounds 2 and 3, considering the depth of the DE/DL positions in the draft.

Dalvin Cook, Fournette, Corey Davis, who ya thinking?

Dalvin Cook, Fournette, Corey Davis, who ya thinking?

Bengals beat writers are picking WR's in the top-10 a lot lately when they mock things, so chances are someone in the front office is saying "we can wait until rounds 2 and 3 for edge rushers."

I'd probably go with Corey Davis on a re-draft. I don't like using a 9th pick on him since he lasted until 18 in this one, but it's a crap-shoot as to where teams will grab WR's in this draft (since the position in general is a crap-shoot after the top 3 guys), so I would suck it up and reach for Davis at 9 probably.

Davis and AJ Green opposite one another would be so nice.

The organization seems to still believe in Hill/Bernard as the 1-2 punch, despite Hill's inconsistency and Bernard's ACL. But I would also look hard at Cook or McCaffrey. Fournette might fit the AFC North style of running back, but he's got some mileage on him and is showing more wear-and-tear than Cook right now, and McCaffrey brings more versatility to backing up Hill. The Bengals could trade Gio in that instance, and have a better version already on the roster.

hard saying how the draft goes but names like Curtis Samuel, and JuJu Smith-Schuster could still be there in the second round and those are still some solid weapons to add. Hell maybe even Mike Williams is there for them to take with their first.

If OJ Howard is there when they pick would they take him? Eifert has been hit with injury bug.

Eifert, OJ and AJ Green would be deadly.

I actually think the Bengals like Corey Davis more than Mike Williams right now. Davis is an inch shorter, but he's got more top-end speed. Can't go wrong either way, though, since AJ Green is on the other side of whoever they grab.

And I think that the current mocks are a sign that the Bengals don't trust the round 2 WR's as much as the round 2 EDGE guys. If they're going to go WR early, there's more value to reach at 9 than to hope that a guy like Samuel can learn to be a pure WR, or that a guy like JuJu can be consistent, if that makes sense.

I don't think they'd take Howard in the top-10, though his name is getting thrown around a bit, which is why I briefly considered him in this mock. I think they're still hoping that Eifert has just been unlucky, and they also have two guys behind him that are serviceable.

There's actually a good chance that they trade the no. 9 to someone who wants a QB and move back to the 20's, like they did a few years ago when they traded back and got Kevin Zeitler. That would take the pressure off and make it a true best-available pick. If one of the WR's is still there, you grab them.

I thought Sherm was taking this one, but I'll go ahead and knock it out using his list.

With the 34th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft the San Francisco 49ers select......

John Ross, WR - University of Washington

The Niner's illustrious history of game breaking receivers has fallen on hard times, but with a new system and staff, better days are ahead. Sure handed and explosive, Ross gives the Niners a unique weapon that Shanahan can deploy all over the field. He lacks the size of a prototypical # 1 receiver, but with the unique looks this offense will bring (once Cousins arrives next year) he can still post top end numbers. His first year will be about fundamentals as he works to blow the top off of defenses and learn how to be a professional receiver. Next year he will make the leap to Pro-Bowl caliber game changer.

Great pick, from those of us that had him high up on their boards....

BTW I have the 'Aints again. Who has Jax?

 

[Legacy]

I don't see anyone for Jax in the second round. So, if anyone doesn't object, I'll make the pick. The Jaguars need to protect Blake Bortles. The pick is:

Taylor Moton to the Jacksonville Jaguars (reasons linked)

1st Round Pick - 1(4) Leonard Fournette, RB

Time for Wooly to shine?

Who's got the LAs? Sherm for the Chargers?

 

[IrishLion]

I'll pick for the Rams if there are no objections

Rams are on the clock for anyone that wants to draft for them.

On it. One moment.
