Mock Draft Central... The Pro's

Where do you value Trubisky?
I don't know about where the person you are addressing values him, but here is an article about Mel Kiper's latest mock draft. It has the Browns taking both Garrett and Trubisky at 1 and 12.
(I am still not of the opinion that he will be there at 12....Kiper's prior mock had him going #2....but he says the signing of Hoyer and Barkley by the Niners negates them taking a QB at #2. I am not sure I buy that completely)

This
I've said before that MT will not be there after the Jets pick...and maybe not even then.
If someone wants him they will need to trade up to #5 (Tennessee).
...Now, if ALL the stars lined up and the Jets didn't pick him then Buffalo would probably pull the trigger. In which case Hue would have to trade with his old team.
I personally feel that some of what the 'Harvard Committee' does will be based upon the thickness of the ice they think they're standing on. I mean, let's face it, they took over a bad team and managed to make them horrendous......with a trigger fingered owner.

Couple more "pro" mocks...
BLEACHER REPORT: Brent Sobleski
(Posted March 21)
1.01 Garrett
1.12 Patrick Mahomes
2.01 Obi Melifonwu, UConn (33),
2.20 DT Montravius Adams. Auburn (52),
3.01 TE Bucky Hodges, Virginia Tech (65),
4.01 CB Howard Wilson, Houston (108),
5.01 S Rudy Ford, Auburn (145),
5.32 DT Tanzel Smart, Tulane (175),
5.38 WR Trent Taylor, Louisiana Tech (181),
6.01 LB Calvin Munson, San Diego State (185) and
6.04 QB Josh Dobbs, Tennessee (188).
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: Chris Burke
(Posted March 22)
On March 15, Burke's mock draft 7.0 had the Browns taking Garrett No. 1 and Trubisky No. 12. His version 8.0 has Garrett and Trubisky again going to the Browns, but a trade with the Jaguars for the fourth pick is required to get their quarterback.
Burke's deal has the Browns trading No. 12, No. 33 (second round) and No. 175 (fifth round) for the Jaguars' No. 4 and No. 187 (sixth round). He has the Jaguars landing Allen at No. 12.
(Posted March 27)
Zierlein has projected a few trades in his latest mock draft. They include the 49ers (No. 2) and Panthers (No.
swapping picks, and the Panthers taking DE Solomon Thomas at No. 2. But perhaps the real surprise is his pick at No. 12 for the Browns: Alabama DE Jonathan Allen. It's as far as we've seen Allen fall in mock drafts, although a pairing of Garrett and Allen would certainly change the look of the Browns' defensive line.(Posted March 27)
Just like last week, Rang has the Browns getting the Garrett-Trubisky combo in the first round.

i have a feeling Allen is going to slide purely based on his medical. Look what happened to Myles Jack last year. He fell all the way to the second round. Similar to Daquan Bowers from a few years ago as well. Also, IMOP Allen kind of has that Aaron Donald feel to him where everyone knows he is a great player, but for some reason he slid down the board. Finally, I don't think a qb is going in the top 10. SF, CHI, and the Jets are all going to wait because they have bigger needs. I think the Jets are pulling a Cleveland and are going to try and tank this year to set themselves up for next year. Not a chance the Bills take a qb after re-signing TT. Basically, that leaves NO, whom I think would take one of the qb's there before CLE picks. However, if Allen or Thomas are still on the board and there, I think you have to take them over the qb. That is a defensive nightmare for opposing teams. I would then try to trade back up into the first to grab either MT, DW or PM whomever is left. After CLE drafts at 12, ARZ is a threat to take a qb and then no one else really until HOU at 25. I just feel all these qb's are bunched together with not much separating them in order to justify taking someone so high.

Problem sometimes with a guy like Casserly is that they make mock drafts based on what they WANT to happen, not based on what decisions they think teams will make.
Neither Hooker nor MT last as long as he says. He just put them there because he wants to.
-
... or because he doesn't think they are worth taking earlier. Something with which I agree.

I'd take Garrett + Allen over Garrett + Trubisky any day

I am with you there. That would be a pretty nice combo to get in the first round.

That is what I said. He is doing a mock based on HIS opinion....which ain't better than yours. Like I said, he is NOT doing a mock based on what he thinks the teams will do...which, in my opinion is what I think a mock draft should be.
I already have a bet with Stan for a pitcher of Margarita's that MT will go in the Top 12 (or was it 10...I would have to check).
You wanna enter the fray?

I could live with S.I.'s latest through 3rd Rd, although I would have taken RB Foreman @ 65 who they have going to Philly @ 72.
1. DE Garrett
12. QB Trubisky
33. DT Brantley
52. CB Jackson
65. RB Kamara

Bear in mind that I have not watched a ton of film on Kamara but he never blew me away in any of the games I watched Tenn play. Was anyone else glued to SEC football who could give some insight?
-
Brantley has visited with the Browns
-
I love Kamara. Looks and plays like a savage.
-
-
Talmbout.
Looks liked Edgerrin James with the braids and gold fronts.
Did he beat out Jalen Hurd or did Hurd just fold up his tent during the season?
-
-
A little of both.
Watched some cutups of Kamara. I would be completely alright with the Browns drafting him.
