Predict Your Surprise of the Draft - Hammerstripes - 03-28-2017
I've got a couple that seem to be intriguing to me:
1. Jags go OT at #4
2. Carolina goes WR at #9
3. Delvin Cook slides out of the first round

McDowell falls to the 2nd round, possibly farther.
There will be 5 safeties taken in the 1st round.

Very interesting. I could see that happening.

Name them, please. Is Obi one of them?

If I'm guessing:
Adams, Hooker, Peppers, Baker, Maye.

Hooker.
Adams.
Peppers.
Baker.
Obi.
Obi has been doing a lot of visits. The site I work for saw that he has 10 team visits coming up.
Baker and Peppers are on the bubble, but this is a very good safety class.

Maye is someone I REALLY like. Just not sure someone takes him in the 1st. See him going in the 2nd-3rd round. But that's as far as I see him falling.

Based on probably nothing, I just have the feeling Obi will be something never seen before. He can pretty much play four positions.

Some have talked to him about playing CB as well. Not sure which teams, I'd have to look into that. But he has been asked if he could play that position.

Wouldn't it be nice seeing this guy take TE's right out of the equation after all these years?
FS, SS, CB, LB, Nickel Backer. I will say again how much I would like to see him on a Safety or Corner blitz. He could actually tackle Piggy when he gets to him and what QB is gonna run away from him?

Mixon goes in the top 20
4 possibly 5 running backs go in the first
The first offensive lineman is taken in the 20's

I'll go opposite, for all the HB hype, the first HB doesn't go until the early 20's. I will also say a lineman goes in the top 15.

I remember thinking Taylor Mays was this kind of player and in the end, he couldn't really play any. Obi's tape is a mish-mosh of good and bad. I think he will absolutely get overdrafted because of his incredible athleticism.
Some scouts knock his ability to flip his hips when turning to run. That wasn't what I saw at the combine at all. Smooth and very, very fast.

George Kittle gets drafted pretty high. 3rd or 4th round.
RE: Predict Your Surprise of the Draft - Beaker - 03-29-2017
Bengals go CB at #9.

- Bengals snag Cam Robinson in the second round.
- Bengals package draft picks and move up the draft during early rounds.
- Bengals trade AJ McCarron to the Browns for second round pick.
- And the biggest surprise of the draft...some fans of this forum change their attitude and become excited once again to be a Bengal fan after a "stellar" draft (which in hindsight was an average draft).
RE: Predict Your Surprise of the Draft - JungleRock85 - 03-30-2017
1. More RB's than WR's will be drafted in the first round. I had this is my year out mock draft last year and was destroyed for it but now it is looking more and more possible.
2. Jonathan Allen will fall out of the top 10 due to injury concerns.
3. Corey Davis will slide out of the top 20, no workouts (40 yd. dash, etc) prior to the draft seems like a good way to slip in the draft.

Fortunately, there won't be one available worthy of the 9th pick. Otherwise, I might agree.

Obi was my sleeper pick back in Dec/Jan when he wasn't even on the radar. His stats were crazy. He wasn't even ranked in the top 10 safeties, but scouts said his stock will rise after the combine causing a team to over draft him. Well guess they were right. It's crazy to think he may go in the first. So much for being a sleeper. I think him and Reddick are the biggest risers in this draft. They are my biggest boom or bust players.
