My draft assumes we sign Kirk Cousins or Alex Smith in FA. We have too many rooks as it is so my goal was to gain quality over quantity. Mason sits and learns. We now have the best HB and the best WR corps in the league. We get a great CB and a C who is a monster unblocker for Saquon Barkley. You wanted an offense ... well now you got one!

I made this one assuming we signed Cousins.

Round 4 Pick 23: Holton Hill, CB, Texas (A+)
Round 5 Pick 1: Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama (A+)
Round 6 Pick 1: JaVon Rolland-Jones, OLB, Arkansas State (A+)

Traded 33,35 and 65 for Jackson. Assumption is Alex Smith is also present. Also a FA receiver and pipe dream Bell. Yeah, yeah I know!

Another dream draft =) This one is more balanced to help defense more and give us the best set of safeties in the league because Ronnie can be that guy that gives us rotation without a huge drop off.

My favorite HB and BPA, my two favorite WRs, and my fav QB too. If Mason and Washington can keep that great chemistry then we will have a very explosive offense.

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 4: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State (A+)

Absolutely love Christian Kirk, He's the one WR I hope that will last to us in the top of round 2...Reminds me a lot of Percy Harvin...He will be a big boost to our lagging special teams as well.

This would be lovely:

1: R1P1 QB JOSH ROSEN UCLA
2: R1P4 S MINKAH FITZPATRICK ALABAMA
3: R2P1 LB RASHAAN EVANS ALABAMA
4: R2P3 DL VITA VEA WASHINGTON
5: R2P31 CB JAIRE ALEXANDER LOUISVILLE
6: R3P1 WR DJ MOORE MARYLAND
7: R4P1 C JAMES DANIELS IOWA
8: R4P23 WR MARCELL ATEMAN OKLAHOMA STATE
9: R5P1 RB JOSH ADAMS NOTRE DAME
10: R5P22 CB DJ REED KANSAS STATE
11: R6P1 OT IKE BOETTGER IOWA
12: R7P1 WR EQUANIMEOUS ST. BROWN NOTRE DAME

Love Kirk too, reminds me of Randell Cobb

Yeah that's a good comparison as well...He's so quick and fast on top of having really strong hands and a strong build to run through tackles..That explosion is off the charts...I think he can change anyone's return game, We have failed to have a returned since Benjamin left...Thought Peppers would spark that, but it just never took off. And imagine a WR core of Laundry, Gordon, Coleman, Kirk...That is a potent deck right there.

I don’t know if you’d draft Kirk after signing a Laundry, I see them both as being slot guys. If we add a bigger receiver to pair outside with Gordon, assuming he stays clean, with Kirk as our slot, Coleman used sparingly(never was big on him), as a deep route runner from the slot, or outside, Higgins as our fifth and then whoever wins a roster spot after that, I could live with that. Having Kirk in the slot would free up Duke to work at some other areas too, imagine having two good weapons from the slot position on the field at the same time.

On a side note, I’d also like to see much more from the TEs, feel we have some solid guys there. I think we need to add a better blocking TE and possibly a better in-line TE to free up the other guys. There are some guys available in free agency who can fill that role and won’t be expensive.

That is based on if we can get Cousins. If not my next choice would be Keenum. If neither then I would draft a QB at #1. I like Darnold and Rosen a little better than Mayfield. Rosen's concussion issues concern me. I am not sure Darnold could beat out Kiser. Mayfield is a wild card, he could be great or a bust.

Stopped looking here. No need to see more, this one is a winner.

If Orlando Brown last until 33 I run the card to the podium ...

I’ve watched some of O. Brown and he is big, with ok athletism for a guy his size but I come away asking if he can be a left tackle in this league. Looks more like a possible right tackle only. And from what I’ve been reading scouts are kinda seeing him that way. So I could see him lasting into the second round. Not saying he will just could be a chance.

I will be watching and listening to the combine and see what is about Zuess Jr.

Just wondering - would you put Minkah at CB if this happened?

Then Reid at CB, or just backup FS? Both are fine.

I guess I would put Fitz at CB since that's why I drafted Reid

Hopefully we grab Cousins or Foles in FA
Draft
1 - QB = Allen
4 - S = Fitzpatrick
33 - RB = Ballard
35 - OT = Wliiams
64 - DE = R. Green
65 - WR = Ateman

I know a lot of people love Fitz on here and I may get flack for this but I kinda like Reid in the second over Fitz at 4. I think Reid has better ball skills.

Dean, what are your thoughts on James, Whitehead & Blanding?

This one made me laugh, Saquon @ 8, Mayfield @ 24 plus this haul and three first rounders next year:

I'd like to get Jaylen Samuels in a later round, TE, RB, WR, all around weapon.

I’m assuming Derwin James, I like him a lot, he didn’t play up to his standards this year but he was coming off a meniscus tear. Athletism, athletism, athletism, the guy is just a better athlete then most. I don’t know exactly what his size is he’s listed at 6-3 211. I beleive you can play him at either safety but I’d kinda like him a free safety. At least to see. I think he can play deep safety, cover TEs, RBs, and even slot guys. Big hitter but still a good wrap up tackler. I think Gregg Williams would love this kid and could possibly see him as a Sean Taylor type of player. But that’s just speculation by me, I read that he wanted Obi Melinfonwu last year and James is better then he is.

I’ve have not watched anything on Whitehead yet, but he’s on my list of prospects to check out.


Blanding is just a really solid guy, doesn’t really jump off the tape but is usually where he’s suppose to be. Solid in coverage but not stellar, solid tackler but not one who gives you wow hits. I think he’ll play a long time in the league but may not be a pro bowl type. He was a four or five star player out of high school and never really played quite to that level.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I'm not usually into the mock drafts, but I read a three round one NFL.com today.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...p;sf181428892=1

Sam Darnold, Bradley Chubb, Christian Kirk, Derrius Grice, Da'Shawn Hand, and Derrick Nnadi in the first three rounds. I need to sit down.

Knocked it out of the park on some picks..Double dipping on DE that high? And another DT that high? However not a single secondary player or to a lesser degree OT as well. I'm fine with everything to RB Guice...get us a CB like Jaire Alexander and a S like Deshon Elliott and I think we'd fair much better.

I was pimping Oklahoma RT Daryl Williams a couple years ago, I was saying he'll be a stud RT in round 3, He went to Carolina in round 4..And is now considered a top 3 RT...I will share what I think of Orlando Brown

Giant, unfortunately plays really high at times...Is going to get get killed in the NFL if he remains this way...I'm sure he will be coached harder to play lower. Seems to just overpower with his arms and reaches, will need to raise those hips to push his power in the NFL...Moves well for a giant, mirror kick and slide I dont see much of...I'm sure more tape will pop of closer to draft day. I think this years Oline talent at the top is not very strong, I think he may be the 2nd best Oline prospect in the whole draft. I agree with Dean, that I think Orlando may be better served at RT initially at least...Makes his living in the run game, and plays with a mean streak...We can use both of that in our Oline. If somehow he's there at the top of round 2 (which is possible) I would not mind him one bit, needs some more seasoning...However that can be said for a majority of prospects.

There are many was to build a team.
You take that draft and add a Trumaine Johnson and Lamarcus Joyner via FA then you got something cooking on D.

D.Hand would be 3-tech passing DT and
Chubb could being a rotational DE and part of nickel package/3rd down/known pass rushing package that moves Ogbah inside

Garrett-Ogunjobi-Ogbah-Chubb
^^That's a DL that looks like it could get pressure with 4

Yeah, he is very similar to his dad.
