I went with 4 players on D and 3 on O.  I don't like taking only 1 OLineman, but I hope we can trade Dalton, Glenn, and  Dre K for some extra picks.




1:  EDGE CHASE YOUNG OHIO STATE – Possibly the best player in the draft, or so they say. If he can impact our D like the Bosas have, he's worth the #1 overall.

2: LB KENNETH MURRAY OKLAHOMA – We can't pretend that LB isn't a need. This guy looks ferocious, and he's fast. Adding him and Young would give us two impact playmakers on the D side of the ball. Could free us up to trade Carlos if we decide that we're not going with a QB at #1.

3: OT PRINCE TEGA WANOGHO AUBURN – Best Olineman available at this point in the draft. Trade Cordy Glenn for a 3rd or 4th rounder. Hopefully, this kid can start.

4: WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON LSU – I might take Burrow in a later draft, for now JJ is one of his better WRs. He'd be a great addition to go along with Boyd and AJ.

5: CB JEFF GLADNEY TCU – Watched some film on this guy, and he can play. Trade Dre K for some more picks.

6: LB DONTAVIOUS JACKSON FLORIDA STATE – Risky pick maybe, but he's another ferocious linebacker. Shows some skills and instincts.

7: TE MITCHELL WILCOX SOUTH FLORIDA – Nice pass catching TE. Didn't evaluate his blocking, but he can catch the ball and has alot of athleticism.

Pick 2....Jabari Zuniga Edge Florida...Freaky high ceiling, raw

Pick 3.....Solomon Kindley G Georgia....335 wide body mauler

Pick 4....Josh Jones T Houston....6'6 330 bad and nasty

Pick 5....Larrell Murchison DT NC State...adds some inside rush

Pick 6...KJ Hill WR Ohio State....good routes, good speed

Pick 7...Zach Baun LB Wisconsin...versatile and pesky

I also took my time and researched players I wasn't familiar with to get an idea of some of their strengths/weaknesses instead of just blindly making picks. In the end, no idea how good this mock is but I definitely had fun.

R1P1 - DE Chase Young: No explanation needed here, really. The man is a flat out monster and provides an immediate pass rushing threat to a defense that badly needs it. If he lives up to his billing, he could certainly make things easier for Dunlap and Atkins who are beginning to slow down.

R2P1 - LB Isaiah Simmons: Wonderful value. I was originally thinking of addressing QB here but all five QBs went in the first round. Simmons is a S/OLB hybrid with elite speed, great run defense and solid coverage skills. Realistically, he is likely going to go in the Top 20 come May but here, this is fantastic value.

R3P1 - LB Kenneth Murray: I really ended up going in on the LBers once I saw Murray here. Another linebacker with great sideline to sideline speed while being bigger than Simmons. Good run defender, solid coverage skills. Realistically, he is probably going to go in the late first or early second come May. With Simmons and Murray, I would feel much more comfortable with our LB corps.

R4P1 - G Shane Lemieux: Strong, technical guard who is good at both pass blocking and run blocking. Three year starter, PFF had him the highest rated guard in the PAC-12 and the 3rd rated guard in the nation at the end of 2018. Having another solid year, would have the potential to compete/start on the line day one.

R5P1 - OT Yasir Durant: Projected a RT in the NFL, he has FANTASTIC size at 6'7 and 330 pounds. He has struggled with some weight issues and there have been concerns about his work ethic but he is a strong, capable blocker.

R6P1 - CB Thomas Graham Jr.: A late round corner from Oregon. A bit of a reach as he is likely a 7th round prospect but he has good size and has held up well in coverage while not being afraid to come up and make a tackle. Likely PS guy.

R7P1 - LB Dejon Harris: Big, physical linebacker from Arkansas. Solid run defender but struggles in pass coverage. Likely PS guy.

1: R1P1 - QB TUA TAGOVAILOA, ALABAMA - My top QB. Tua is a throw-first QB who has proven he can extend plays with his legs. He's extremely accurate and can make all the throws. I get the nervousness about his ankle, but he's not had a critical injury that would make me question his long-term durability or effectiveness.

33: R2P1 - OT TREY ADAMS, WASHINGTON - Adams would have been a surefire 1st rounder if he didn't have season-ending injuries the past two years. But he's looking good again this year and has been healthy. I think Adams would pair well with Williams, and both he and Williams can play both OT spots. That's something that's not common in OT prospects.

65: R3P1 - LB KENNETH MURRAY, OKLAHOMA - Murray is a 3-down LB in my eyes. If the team went out and got a good FA, I think Murray and Pratt would make a good LB trio for years to come.

107: R4P1 - DL JUSTIN MADUBUIKE, TEXAS A&M - Did some research on this guy, and he puts the pressure on QBs. He can also play across the DL. I see him as a great option to play nickel DT next to Atkins and take over for him once Atkins is gone.

145: R5P1 - WR TYLER JOHNSON, MINNESOTA - Johnson is a very solid, well-rounded receiver who only chose Minnesota because it's his hometown state and he always wanted to play there.

179: R6P1 - S JOSH METELLUS, MICHIGAN - Solid DB prospect who can defend the run and also cover.

214: R7P1 - G LOGAN STENBERG, KENTUCKY - I must be (much) higher on Stenberg than Fanspeak because I have this guy pegged as a 3rd-4th rounder. Getting him in the 7th is a steal in my eyes. He gets push at the LOS and can help establish the run very well.
