NFL Draft: Mock Draft Discussion Thread

[What the Faulk]

I'm pretty happy about trading down and still getting one of my top 2 targets (and it was a close call). Dodd may be pretty green, but with Ealy/CJ both under 30, there's time to work him along at the proper speed (and Gettleman loves him some "hog mollies"). Like with Clemson, he doesn't have to be a star, just fit in on a stacked unit.

Kevin Dodd has huge potential. A bit of a one year wonder but physical traits are there.

Good pick, had him all lined up for 35 Oh well quite happy with Butler!

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Love the Butler pick.

Came down to Doctson and another WR for me at 23. The tiebreaker was size, as that's something the Vikings lack at WR. Diggs is 6'0, Wright is 5'11. Patterson and Charles Johnson are 6'2 but Johnson disappeared after getting Wally Pipp'd by Diggs last year and Patterson can't figure out how to learn a route tree and is purely a KR at this point.

I like it. He's the type of WR the Vikings could use. One thing that concerns me is the age but I'd be fine with it if they took him 23rd.

The WR I probably would have taken at that spot still hasn't been picked, which is a bit surprising to me.

I feel like I got a steal with my pick.

That's who I was talking about in my post. I'm surprised Coleman lasted this long.

The Ravens have nothing at wide receiver. Steve Smith Sr. is going to retire after this year, Perriman is an unknown, and Mike Wallace is toast. I had to pull the trigger on Coleman.

and now he's gone. i thought about him but felt improving the Dline was more important. would've taken him if i hadn't traded up.

edit. too late.

Thanks. Yeah I was surprised at a few of the DEs to go before him. But as Gene said, he's probably too much of a boom or bust guy for most teams.

I like the Coleman pick too. I don't want the Panthers to take a WR but if they do he's the guy.

 

[canucks10]

Yeah I agree! If the Chargers defence wasn't such a tire fire I certainly would've been tempted to grab Coleman

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Coleman in the 2nd would be a steal. I went with Kamalei Correa. Twitched up pass rusher with speed and effort. I was hoping Jackson or Butler would be there but no dice.

Coleman was the other guy I was talking about but went with Doctson because the Vikings need size.

would like to just point out that the jaguars never received a pm from the 49ers that they were on the clock...

I had no idea you were on the clock. I messaged the wrong guy.

You can pick someone who hasn't been picked yet.

There are plenty of punters available.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

yea, if he didn't get an email, he should be able to grab someone else

 

[Hasbro]

Now that we have that mess cleared up!

The lesson is don't count on Gene!

 

[What the Faulk]

Ogbah is the other guy I considered at my pick, but I decided to go with Dodd because even if it's riskier, he has the higher ceiling.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Titans feel they are making tremendous progress in draft thus far improving offense

Tunsil should anchor OL while Boyd should be solid threat at WR

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Ogbah is frustrating.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I saw a mock that had Ogbah going to ATL at #17. Too high.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Ogbah is frustrating.

It's like the guy hasn't heard of a ****ing countermove in his entire life. I love the tools but the guy makes me want to rip my hair out.

Ryan Kelly is a plug-and-play C prospect for the next 4-5 years easily. Nice pick CI.

6'4" 270 With crazy raw athletic tools but all he can do is bullrush or outside rip. Inconsistent hand usage. He needs coaching and patience.

This was my thinking as well. There has been some talk of moving Brandon Linder to C, but I'd rather just snag the best one in the draft and let Linder stay at RG where he was arguably our best Offensive Lineman last year.

Beachum//Cann//Kelly//Linder//Parnell

Is a pretty solid line imo.

And we'd still have decent depth with, among others, Joeckel and Bowanko.
