Final Mock

From there, Benson is my RB1 in this class, and a true 3 down back with home run speed and arguably the best pass pro skills among RB's in this class.  Beebe at #80 was a shocker, but I gladly snapped him up as a G/emergency T. Abrams-Draine is a high football IQ CB with ball skills that can play in a variety of coverages, perfect for Lou 's scheme.

Day 3, Johnson has the upside to potentially end the TE carousel.  I took McKinley Jackson in the 5th(around where he honestly should go9, so don't @ me about a NT.  Limmer probably pushes Hill to the PS and hopefully develops into a solid backup C.  Jacobs and Davis provide some back end of the roster depth at LB and RB.  Manu is a late round flyer on a T with immense upside.

I think its a C+ Draft for me only because I have BTJ as a late first and Guyton as my 15th best offensive lineman in this class and 3rd round grade, so giving any future capital for that guy...
