mock draft thread

JAFBF-I could live with any but Scherff @12, Williams as a 1st rounder or Mariota in a give away the bank trade up.

I'm watching Armstead right now in the Rose Bowl (thank baby Jesus for a day off finally).
He might be the most inconsistent player I've seen so far. It's maddening and hard to get a read on. There are times he has a good first step, translates that to power, violent hands and gets good leverage on his man to drive him back.
Other times he just gets mauled.... Bad. When I think of a 5 tech player, the gold standard is obviously JJ Watt. The big things noticably lacking with Armstead are the elite first step, and that ability to threaten the outside shoulder to get around the edge. He consistently tries to win inside and flat out can't get it done. Florida states guards picked up on that after their first series or so. I just don't see the elite, 1st round burst.
Side note. One thing I so appreciate about Mariota over Manziel from this time last year - Marcus makes quick decisions. If he see's it, he doesn't hesitate.

Here's one just for shiggles where I basically just kept trading unless the BPA was a position of need.
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 14 (MIA): Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama (A)
Round 1 Pick 20 (PHI): A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina (C+)
Round 2 Pick 11: Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 12 (N.O.): Michael Bennett, DT, Ohio State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 15 (MIA): Eric Kendricks, ILB/OLB, UCLA (B+)
Round 2 Pick 20 (PHI): Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF (C+)
Round 3 Pick 14 (MIA): Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State (B+)
Round 3 Pick 15 (S.F.): Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Round 4 Pick 11 (MINN): Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke (A)
Round 4 Pick 12: Joey Mbu, DT, Houston (B-)
Round 4 Pick 13 (N.O.): Byron Jones, CB, Connecticut (B-)
Round 4 Pick 16: Ladarius Gunter, CB, Miami (Fla.) (C+)
Round 5 Pick 11: Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State (B+)
Round 6 Pick 13: Clayton Geathers, SS, UCF (A)
Round 6 Pick 26: Conner Neighbors, FB, LSU (C+)
Round 7 Pick 12: Justin Manton, K, Louisiana-Monroe (A)
Honestly, I would be happy if we could land Petty in the third. He has all of the tools to be a franchise QB, plus he's a fantastic leader. Give him a solid two years of development and he may be a steal. Unfortunately, we'd have to find someone else to QB for the next two years.
Resign Hoyer, draft Petty, add an offensive guard and a tall receiving red zone threat.
OR
Find a way to get Mariota and hitch your wagon to him. If he fails, this FO fails.

Outside of the top two QBs, I like Petty as well.
As I wrote earlier, seeing Bryce work on his drop it seems to tighten up his feet and overall mechanics. His feet were prone to being very erratic in the shotgun.

Tim-Jones will not be there by rd 4 and he would certainly be rated an A+ in that spot. He had too big a combine. They need to update their system to reflect combine results.
PS-would anyone be tempted by Melvin Gordon if he is still there round 2?

Do his eyes bother you like they do me? He really struggles to come off his first read from all I've watched.

I think it's even less realistic that we'd have 8 picks in the first three rounds.

Actually I remarked that I saw him making reads in the tape I watched. But he also made his share of WTF throws. Many of the latter came out of the gun with his feet anywhere, but where they should have been.

The WTF throws I saw, especially early on against TCU. Hmm. Might be worth going back and taking a second look at him.

Try at least a half of each of these...

See if you see the same improvement in his feet when he has to back-peddle at all like from the pistol after a play fake.

I don't like this one.
Passing on a rare NT is a bad idea, but maybe Farmer has been blowing smoke about a WR in one.

Ugh....not only did he pass on shelton for a WR, but he also picked Armstead...who will be a massive bust(heck, wasn't even good in college).....
here's the first paragraph from that Mock, which should have been the clue that this mock was clue(less).....
"""I have never put together a mock draft for anything before in my entire life, but as usually happens, curiosity finally got the best of me. So, after reading multiple other mock drafts and realizing I probably can't possibly sound too much less educated than everybody else on this subject, let's give this a whirl."""

Not to mention a "project" @ #19...

Project is being kind. It's a word that implies Armstead has at least flashed dominant ability.

Mayock listed Armstead as his #2 interior dline prospect.
.......and that's about the last time I listen to that guy.
