Daniel Jeremiah's Pre-Senior Bowl Mock

[*Synric*]

Daniel Jeremiah's mocks are always fun because he is really good at predicting which players go a little higher than people are expecting.


A list of a few surprises:
#10 G Tyler Booker (Bears)
#11 OL Armound Membou (49ers)
#14 CB Jahdae Barron (Colts)
#27 CB Azareye'h Thomas (Ravens)
#32 James Pearce Jr (Chiefs)



Bengals select DT Walter Nolen at #17.

Quote:Nolen is a dynamic interior disruptor. He would be a key part of a turnaround under new Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden.

Here's a film review of Nolen by Joe Goodberry.

I’m a little disappointed in the lack of anger & outrage to this first mock of the year. You guys are getting soft. https://t.co/OHcY0xSG7N

Most Bengals fans probably haven't heard the interview thing about Nolen and started complaining why we always get a character risk mocked to us.

I can't remember who affiliated with or covering the Bengals at the time said it, but this is what was said to prioritize position-wise when it comes to having talent in a 4-3 defense:
Tier 1: DE1, CB1, 3T, WLB
Tier 2: FS, CB2, DE2
Tier 3: NT, MLB
Tier 4: SLB/SCB

NT one could argue goes higher if you can find a NT who is enough of a difference maker from the typical NT, but at the time I heard that, the NT (Peko) was being used just a 2-down run stopper and subbed out in nickel.

Mike Renner just put Walter Nolen at #8 in his new top 50 big board.
