I'd be very tempted to take Joe Tryon there as Edge to compliment MG.

I think I’m set.

Major Trade up give me Pitts.  Think Julio Jones type deal we made 10 years ago.

Slight Trade up give me Jaycee Horn.  I think he’s going to be stud.

Stay put: Greg Rousseau or Jamin Davis.  The forum has swayed me on Jamin.  He looks fast and very instinctive (two qualities we lack at LB).

I took my ? and went home ? last night..

I played every known mock football game known to the internet last night... No* Team would trade down to pick #26 .. Horn/Paye/Phillips/R-seau/Farley all start coming off boards around Dallas pick #10.. by pick #26, I opted out of many, trying to trade up from pick #8 thru 24.. and ended up looking at guys like.... Asante Samuel/Oweh/Olujari ... at pick 26..I took Boogie Basham ?

This may take a trading team needing a TE like Njoku? I'm looking at you ? Dallas/Eagles, Jets & Giants ! !

I think we will have a defensive guy or two tumble.  Too many intriguing QBs, WRs, Tackle prospects this year and loads of teams with those specific needs.

But there are teams just ahead of us 17-25 that appear to have defensive needs like ours.  If we trade (if we can even trade) maybe we jump right ahead of that pack. 
 

I don’t know what Njoku fetches but we are going needs picks and other reinforcements

Slight trade down with this mock but I think this covers all of our bases and gives up major Front 7 help.  Dline competition at training camp will be fierce.  No Safety though.

I took two of my sleepers. Davis Mills QB and Jaylen Twyman DT.  Took a corner over 6 foot.  

We bring in a kicker too.

Interesting mock V4.0 from si.com...

• R1: Ossai (Edge) Texas... gifted athlete, raw, very young... will be 21 at time of draft
• R2: Trade up for Melifonu (CB) 'Cuse ... trade our 2nd (#59), a 3rd (#91) and a 4th (#132) to move into the 40's... more than enough
• R3: Wallace (WR) OSU... meh
• R4: Tuipulotu (DT) USC... sleeper
• R5: Hall (CB) SDSU...
• R6: Forrest (S) UC... meh #2
• R7: Johnson (LB) TAMU... S/T thumper with decent speed and great motor

Except for the mehs I could live with this one.

Since the beginning of the Sim's game Mocking season.. LB Buddy Johnson of A&M has been Mocked a 7th rounder..

I don't see that ? Buddy Johnson should fall off the board right behind tBucks Justin Hilliard in the 4th or 5th...stay tuned..

Buddy's player grade is a 6.10.. That's the same as Bucks LB Pete Werner

agree on Johnson and Hilliard.  And If Hilliard stays healthy he’s going to be a steal. 
Pete Werner will be a third down specialist at the next level- cover backs out of the backfield and those TE flat and curl routes.  I’ve seen 2nd and 3rd round on him.  I think you need more than that to be drafted in those areas.

Could he be another Danielle Hunter? 
 

Very raw but off the charts athletically

Dunno, but Ossai is not projected to be a hand-in-the-dirt, 4-3 Edge... more as a standup, OLB/Edge in a 3-4. I think he'd be our Will unless/until he grew into a DE.

But whenever I try to project DEs "growing" I get a Mingo flashback.

[The Gipper]

I recorded the  picks of  numerous  mock drafts  (like  35),  and these were their picks.....though these were pretty much pre-Clowney...so who knows how that may change  the thinking.:

Gregory Rousseau   6 votes

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah  3 votes

Jaelen  Phillips   3

Zaven Collins 3

Jamin Davis   3

Azeez  Ojulari  3

Jayson Oweh  2

Kwity Paye  2

Christian Barmore  2

Joe Tryon  1

Rashod Bateman  1

Asante Samuel Jr.   1

Greg Newsome  1

JOseph Ossai  1

Caleb Farley  1

Levi Onwuzurike  1

Most of these are "edge" guys....but with Clowney, perhaps it is more likely that the  DT  Barmore  or the DBs  Samuel or Newsome could be the pick,  (most mocks had Farley long gone by 26) 

Fair to say?

 whats real ? ? ?  

1. Caleb Farley ?, Virginia Tech 
2. Jaelan Phillips, Miami
3. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Notre Dame
4. ------------------------------------------------above still seems to be likely goners too.. Paye/Parsons/Surtain or JC Horn fall under a trade up 
5. Gregory Rousseau, Miami
6. Christian Barmore, Alabama
7. Zaven Collins, Tulsa
8. Rashod Bateman, Minnesota
9. Greg Newsome II, Northwestern
10. Azeez Olujari, Georgia
11. Trevon Moehrig, TCU 
12. ------------------------------------------------ with any Luck? some of these lucky 7 ? might be left around ? ^^^
13. Elijah Moore, Old Miss
14. Kadarius Toney, Florida
15. Asante Samuel Jr., Florida State
16. Terrace Marshall Jr., LSU
17. Jamin Davis, Kentucky 
18. Rondale Moore, Purdue

in no particular order ...... who's out? -- Or-- who'd you like to move up or down the board?

feels to me ?... moving up to the teens, is the sweet spot, but might come with a higher extreme cost this draft season than most? I'd favor a 2nd or 3rd round slide up..

I'm still in the boat of adding a DE/CB & now DT... but, I can't toss out a coverage LB if JOK or Collins is still there..... and nobody has a clue... if Landry's or OBJ's replacement is taken early in this draft ? 

11 days until draft night in Cleveland?... do what & whom ya thinking ? ( Andrew Berry sure ain't login in )

Edit-- BTW..give this mock draft sims a try.. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/mock-draft-simulator  seems legit & trading is fair game..login is pass-able

I'll take this 3-round mock draft all day long and twice on Sundays.  They're crazy to project Paye to last.. but you take him in a heartbeat. Wish they'd add more DB depth because TE isn't an option.

Jamin Davis is so good he was taken at #87 by the Steelers, and then two spots later by the Browns.
