The Night Before - bengalsdude - 04-27-2017
Don't mock me. Debate is welcome. This is a blend of what I would do and what I think happens. I realize there is no center.
1. John Ross (WR, UW) - would he be my pick? No. that said, if his medical are clean he would be my number one WR. Instantly elevates our offense. Lifts safeties, great at tracking the ball and best deep threat prospect in years. Is he complete? No, but he is more than just a deep threat like will fuller was last year (more natural and aggressive too)
2. Joe Mixon ( RB, OU) - ideally a linemen falls, but mixon is an excellent consolation prize. Baggage is known but size (nearly 230), speed (4.4) and recieving ability make Joe a 15+ touch a game dynamo right away. Sorry, ladies.
3. Derek Rivers (DE, YSU) - run defense is a question mark given size (<250) but he showed at combine he belong athletically and showed at the senior bowl he belong competitively. I don't think he makes it here personally, but he got here on our board mock.
4. Taylor Moton (G/RT WMU) Physical at point of attack. Could compete for right gaurd job or ultimately play RT if fisher struggles. We need some nasty guys up front and he is big like we like our linemen.
4B. Eddie Jackson (S, Bama) - I'll keep this short. He's not a fourth rounder. We don't need a safety but in this deep class gotta take advantage of the depth. I think in a typical safety class he is round 2 at worst. He's my guy this year.
5.Jon Toth (C, UK) wouldn't be a mock without a center.
5B Zane Gonzalez (K, ASU) - until they ban kickers, we gotta get better there.
6. Vince Biegel (UW, OLB) - what he does as a pash rusher translates to league I believe.
6B. Robert Davis (Georgia State, WR) - small school height/weight speed guy. I believe the #1 SPARQ WR
7A. Grover Stewart (DT, Albany St) - developmental run stuffer. Billings insurance.
7B. Jerod Evans (QB, Vtech) - always draft a qb.
