This is similar to my thoughts on what we should/could do. I can't start new threads yet, but this is what I came up with:
I did some comparisons of combine/pro day speeds and measurements of WRs currently on our roster and the top guys in the draft, and frankly none of them seemed good enough to warrant a first round pick to me. Brandon LaFell was better than most of them, and he has experience. I think he could be the #2 to Green, and Burkhead honestly could probably fulfill the slot role. I want to replace Marvin Jones and Sanu, but I don’t see that huge of a drop-off between the top WRs people talk about and guys we could get in the second round.
Round 1 – Best CB available.
My dream would be Hargreaves or Ramsey, but Eli Apple or William Jackson are more likely to be there. Our CBs are either old or relatively unproven, and you need at least 3 good ones nowadays.
Round 2 – Braxton Miller – WR or Ryan Kelly - C
Braxton is quicker and faster than Jones was, and almost as tall. He could also provide the trick-play QB duties lost with Sanu. I think Center is self-explanatory.
Round 3 – Best DT available – Probably someone like Javon Hargrave
No reasoning beyond Peko’s just getting older
Rounds 4+ I don’t really care. Charone Peake (WR) could be one to look at in round 4 or 5. Really I’m fine with just taking “most athletic” from here on out and hope to coach them up.
(Never done a mock before, but thinking of it was fun)
