NFL Draft: Mock Draft Discussion Thread

[Gene Parmesan]

Jihad Ward is a really good value pick.

 

[Hasbro]

Oh shoot someone got Peake from Clemson? Great pick in the 4th. He's a classic H/W/S prospect, but what I like about him is he actually has ability as a WR. He has small nuances (feints, head fakes etc.) of being a WR down. He's also a solid route runner and a hand catcher. He doesn't really have a glaring weakness apart from staying healthy and production. The latter of which was heavily affected playing behind guys like Hopkins, Bryant etc etc.

A really good pick in the 4th. I'd consider taking him in the 2nd-3rd.

GENE! I NEED MAH GRADE!l!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Quick look I'll say B+.

Loved the Elliott and Jackson III picks. Liked the Ward pick. I'm not a Clark fan. Short arms, not overly explosive and limited upside as an interior pass rusher. He might be a two down run plugger but a 3rd is a bit high for that type of player.

Hey it'd be a great draft. Just not crazy about Clark. I would've looked at an edge rusher or interior o-lineman.

Was thinking of going oline, but the Bears added a lot of depth there.

Came down to Kaufusi and another prospect. Went with Kaufusi because he's one of my favorites.

He's an older prospect (25), but the guy has a lot of intriguing tools. 6'6 285 lbs and 34' arms. A SPARQ score that was 6th best at the combine and in the 82nd percentile of NFL D-linemen. Sackseer has him as one of the best 8 passrushers from this class.

He also isn't completely raw, has a decent spin and swim move. I thought there was enough intriguing tools to take him in the 4th. If he can give me 6-8 sacks/yr as a rotation piece, I'll consider that a win. Especially when that got Oliver Vernon 17M/yr.

I have two guys that I want with my next pick. If anyone has 2 picks later this round, I'll be glad to trade down.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Kafusi doesn't play with the power or strength his frame would suggest plus he's 25. No thanks.

Keep in mind comp picks are untradable.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Now I have to decide?

 

[Hasbro]

Now I have to decide?

Talk to someone with an early 5th and we'll see if we get there.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Nah, that's ok. I just have to decide between picking for need or picking a guy with a high ceiling at another position.

I think you're allowed to trade them this year

 

[Hasbro]

Starts next year.

Panthers have been done:

2. DE Kevin Dodd
2. LB/S Su'a Cravens
3. CB Harlan Miller
4. OT Shon Coleman

I actually really liked every one of these guys when I picked, but in retrospect, I'm just not sure. It's not bad, but it's not that great either.

I think you're pretty close to being right on target with the Panthers. Miller provides depth if Norman bolts and a DE was a glaring need in the SB. I may have switched the OL for the LB in the 2nd round. I think Carolina's OL isn't great but not quite positive on that.

I like that draft. Mack needs help desperately. Woodson leaving puts a huge hole in that secondary to fill. Only question I had was RB, but next year's draft is far superior to this one at that position.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Not a Ragland fan. Not athletic enough for that scheme. 2 down linebackers aren't 1st round picks.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

how did the Jaguars do Gene?

Yeah I really wanted to address OL earlier than I did but I think I kept missing out on tiers and didn't want to reach too much for a need. Most of the guys in that spot seemed like they were tracking towards OG, and the Panthers are set there for awhile (like DT).
