Shanebo - November
I'm always game for a mock draft, but I think Fanspeak and I must have different valuations on a lot of these players -- everyone from 3 on seems like a steal to me ... This mock gives us a QB, two big-time playmakers to help fix our D, and 3 potential starters on the O-line. Can't ask for much more than that.
1: R1P1 EDGE CHASE YOUNG OHIO STATE - Arguably the best player in the draft and a position of need (pass rush/edge); defensive playmaker that teams will have to plan for. Since I couldn't trade back, I had to grab him here.
33: R2P1 QB JACOB EASON WASHINGTON - This one could be a reach, but Eason is my third favorite QB of this class after Tua and JB (even after that stinker of a game vs Utah). I thought he looked better than Herbert vs Oregon. Big arm, increased accuracy; just needs to work on instincts and decision-making, which should come with experience.
65: R3P1 LB KENNETH MURRAY OKLAHOMA - Absolute steal here. 3 down playmaker who can play any LB position and best ILB in the class. No way he lasts to 3, IMO.
107: R4P1 G SHANE LEMIEUX OREGON - Our new starting LG; good size and speed. Solid player.
145: R5P1 OT YASIR DURANT MISSOURI - I liked this guy last year, but he pulled out of the draft. Enormous man, strong, good run blocker; would play RT for us and likely is already better than Hart (which isn't saying much). Should compete to start as a rookie. A few red flags (lazy/fat), but I don't think he lasts this long.
179: R6P1 C JAKE HANSON OREGON - Can't believe this guy was still here. After watching him (largely) control Derrick Brown in week one, I figured he'd be the first or second C off the board. Should go before this, but I'll gladly take him here. Could be a starter if Hopkins leaves, or challenge for a G spot. I actually like him better than Lemieux, who I took 2 rounds earlier.
214: R7P1 WR K.J. HILL OHIO STATE - Again, I think he's gone long before 7, but have to grab him here. Gives us some insurance if AJ leaves.
