I would caution all to not get to excited with these mock drafts, otherwise you will be disappointed come May. Perhaps the draft is much deeper than I realize but I just don't see some of the people we are drafting round 3 down falling that far. JMO
Am I perfect? No
Am I trying to be a better person?
Also no

Round 1 Pick 6 (ATL): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (A)
Round 1 Pick 12 (NYG): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M (A)
Round 2 Pick 5 (ATL): David Yankey, OG, Stanford (A-)
Round 3 Pick 7: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington (A)
Round 3 Pick 19: Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (A)

I don't know ... that's the thing though. Sometimes you do this mock draft and a different guy slips. We have so many needs and there's a couple of positions with a lot of depth in it. If one guy gets drafted, that means another position has a guy dropping further down.
I think that's how a lot of consistently "good" teams stay good. They don't' have any glaring holes in their team that they have to over-draft a player to fill. Instead they just take the best player that falls to them, and in some cases they fell quite a ways because other teams just had bigger needs.

Man, I love this selection of picks. I would however, take an OG (Lindner) in rd 4, though...

4 QB TEDDY BRIDGEWATER LOUISVILLE
No way I think he lasts till 4, but I sure wasn't going to pass him up.. Top 3 went Bortles, Clowney, Manziel... Then Oakland took Carr.. Ew..
26 G DAVID YANKEY STANFORD
Put him next to Schwartz, I think that'll solidify the right side..
35 WR JORDAN MATTHEWS VANDERBILT
A nice pick up that can come in across from Gordon, hopefully Benji can come back for the slot..
71 RB KA’DEEM CAREY ARIZONA
I was getting wary taking all offense, but I think with my first four picks I've "fixed" the offense for the foreseeable future..
83 CB E.J. GAINES MISSOURI
A solid corner that can come in and push Skrine.
102 ILB YAWIN SMALLWOOD UCONN
I'm not too familiar with him, but we need Inside LBers..
123 S CRAIG LOSTON LSU
Another pick based on position, a guy that can come in an battle with Gipson, and hopefully learn from Byrd!
133 DE MICHAEL SAM MISSOURI
A lot of people are scared of this guy, he has talent, I think he can come in and be productive at 3-4 OLB, maybe transition to ILB..
164 QB TAJH BOYD CLEMSON
I can't seem him falling this far, but I wasn't going to pass up on him, nice project that can learn, maybe become a future trade piece...
195 TE JAKE MURPHY UTAH
We could use another TE.
I like my draft actually.. Ganna try the one with trades..
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I can't understand those of you promoting a pass rusher with the 4th overall. We spent the 6th overall, and gave out a $40,000,000 free agent contract last year to shore up that position. We also have Sheard and Groves. I imagine 1 of you must be Matt Millen but I can't imagine how anyone else can want to spend picks on the same position every year.

Never going to happen. Mosely wont make it past the steelers at the least and if Jacksonville dont take a QB at 3 then they will take jimmy G in the second.
No offensive line help at all? You really must want hoyer to get killed and nothing to really upgrade the offense at all 8(
There is no way we can ignore the offense again this year.
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

The thread is 8 pages long, plenty of people are suggesting Clowney and no one is going to claim he's ILB. If I was criticizing your draft specifically I would have said so.

Critique the mocks as you will, but remember that it's very early, and that these are just for fun. The Matt Millen reference was, shall we say...unkind.

This is one of the better mocks I've been able to concoct. I try to do it with some semblance of reality. Not collecting masses of picks in a certain round which is easy to do with this simulator,but willful fantasy for the actual draft. Or, taking players that have little or no chance of dropping to the slot the simulator allows them to be available, with the exception of Beckham, I couldn't resist that one besides sometime players slide for no obvious reason.
I expect criticism for taking Moncrief at #26 but I also expect his stock to continue to rise as we get closer to the draft. If it were up to me I would take him at that position and let his play rebut the critics. Also Exum can play safety and he's one of my favorite draft targets.
Round 1 Pick 17 (BALT): C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama (A)
Round 1 Pick 26: Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss (C)
Round 2 Pick 3: Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (B)
Round 2 Pick 16 (BALT): Odell Beckham, WR, LSU (A-)
Round 3 Pick 7: Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina (A-)
Round 3 Pick 19: Brandon Thomas, OG, Clemson (A)
Round 4 Pick 15 (NYJ): Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (B-)
Round 4 Pick 23 (CINN): Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford (A)
Round 4 Pick 27: Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech (B-)
Round 5 Pick 5: Phillip Gaines, CB, Rice (C+)
Round 6 Pick 4: James White, RB, Wisconsin (B-)
Round 7 Pick 3: Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming (B

I'd love to take him in the third. I would live with taking him in the second. Can't really make a good argument for taking him in the first.
His two biggest knocks are bad route running and a tendency to catch with his body. I think he can succeed in the NFL, and I think we're a good fit for him, but he's a bit of a project, and not someone you take in the first, especially when you're desperate for talent.
I'd rather take him in the third than, say, Watkins at #4.

So, obviously I have Moncrief rated very differently than you, but my primary question is what does he do better than Beckham to make you take him first?

Honestly, I was careless when looking at who was available at 26. All things being equal I would switch their positions. But if Beckham were not available, and I didn't realize that he was when I made the 26 selection; I would take Moncrief. So I didn't look carefully when I took Moncrief. At the same time I do covet Moncrief's size, strength and speed. The paradox about Moncrief's catching is that he does body catch a number of balls at the same time he wins a number of contested catches with his overall physicality.
I'm not someone who is trying to win the draft. My overriding consideration is will drafting the player improve the chances that the team will win.

Here's a #1 ranked draft that comes away with a difference maker at #4, a lot of holes filled, and a project to sit behind Hoyer. Bonus pick: competition for Cundiff. Bortles & Bridgewater were both off the board at 4.
Round 1 Pick 4: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (A)
Round 1 Pick 26: C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 4 (OAK): David Yankey, OG, Stanford (B)
Round 3 Pick 8 (MINN): Terrence Brooks, FS, Florida State (A)
Round 3 Pick 19: Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida (A-)
Round 4 Pick 2 (WASH): Yawin Smallwood, ILB, Connecticut (B+)
Round 4 Pick 6: Devonta Freeman, RB, Florida State (A)
Round 4 Pick 7 (OAK): A.J. McCarron, QB, Alabama (A)
Round 4 Pick 27: Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU (A)
Round 5 Pick 5: Christian Jones, ILB, Florida State (B+)
Round 6 Pick 4: Kirby Van Der Kamp, P, Iowa State (A)
Round 7 Pick 3: Chris Boswell, K, Rice (A)
I would be happy with this, even happier with a swap of Garoppolo & McCarron, but he went to the Rams with the 21st of rnd 3. I could've taken J.G. instead of Purifoy. At the combine, McCarron was the smoothest of all QBs, with the possible exception of Bortles. My knock on him is his baby fat body, but he could develop.

nrty, I think some of the NFL.com draftniks are surfing our mock draft message board because all four of them have us passing on Bridgewater and/or Bortles to take Carr at 26. I thought some of the mocks I did on here were far fetched but at least I never passed on, who I feel are the top 2 QB's, if they were there at 4. This seemingly endless inactivity is making everyone nuts. Come on 4pm Tuesday, we need some fresh news to kick start the real mock draft frenzy.

The more I think about it the more I'd like to see the Browns surround Hoyer with more weapons on offense and get a QB in the 2nd.
I liked what I saw of Hoyer in his limited time last year and would rather the Browns get a WR, RB, and G to help the offense.
Just not sold 100% on the big 3 QBs in this draft. Would hate to see the Browns take a QB at #4 who turns out to be average.

If I'm moving back more than 5 spots I want a 1st next year... Just saying...

Ok...there is only one QB i would take in the first round and that's Bridgewater. If he isn't there at #4 then trade back, preferably for a #1st round next year.
If not a #1 next year then trade back for Evans (WR), our 2nd #1 round best OG.
2nd round... best available... looking at ILB or CB
3rd round RB and QB
Next year IMO is when you go all in for a QB. IMO the top 3.. maybe 4 QB are better than this yrs (Mariota, Winston, Petty, Hundley).
Just my opinion Please don't yell at me :P

I would just like to point out...
That none of Mariota, Winston, Petty, Hundley HAVE to come out next year...
So to say the class will be better is technically an unknown...

lol.. but is teddy worth trading up? IMO no... if he falls to us yeah. But this class is so talented I think its not worth it... Again i am not a GM (and glad) its a line call, but I think keeping 4 and 26 is better and picking best available. But if we upgraded to teddy it wouldnt be the end end of the world... but only for Teddy no other QB worth it.. again IMO :P But thats why i love forums.. we all have an unpaid opinion :P

I want the best guy in this class, IMO, thats Teddy hands down...
I'm not worried about next years class, or Hoyer, or whatever...
I will trade up for Teddy, but I'm not touching next years picks...
If Houston wants him he's gone, I'm aware of that, if he's their at 2 I call up STL and offer 26 plus maybe a 3rd... Who knows... We'd STILL have more than an entire draft...

I don't disagree with that if, both Teddy and Bortles are gone. I think both of them are worth drafting at 4, if only to have them sit a year behind Hoyer should he prove to be as valuable as he appeared in those three games last year. I would definitely not waste my pick on Manziel, he reminds me to much of Colt. Not that I thought Colt was bad, just not durable enough for the NFL and certainly not the AFC North. If both Ted and Bort are gone, take BPA or try to work a trade back a little (not lower than 10-15) and maybe garner a 1st for next year and quality WR like Evans, Od, or K Benj. That feeds to the targets we need, much like your scenario. But we really need to beef up the OL with high grade 2nd and 3rds there to protect whoever we have back at QB especially since we went all "D" in FA.
Here a quick 4 rounder I wouldn't mind seeing:
4 QB TEDDY BRIDGEWATER LOUISVILLE
26 WR KELVIN BENJAMIN FLORIDA STATE
35 RB CARLOS HYDE OHIO STATE
71 OT JACK MEWHORT OHIO STATE
83 G CYRIL RICHARDSON BAYLOR
102 CB LOUCHEIZ PURIFOY FLORIDA
123 S AHMAD DIXON BAYLOR
jmo though.  bpa, bpa, bpa

That's mine. I thought it was important to take solidify our defense early and often. Also thought it WR class was deep enough that I was able to pick up my two favorite WR's in this class after Sammy Watkins and OB Jr. Same thing goes with the running backs.
I wonder how they determine who goes where and when? Because I saw a lot of questionables in my draft including Haha ClintonDix dropping out of the first, Chris Borland going in the first and Josh Huff (WR out of Oregon) going in the first.
Not bad but the changes I would make are drafting HaHa Clinton-Dix with the 2nd pick and freeing up the 6th rounder for o-line depth. I also dont think that any attention is needed to the d-line which would free up a spot for o-line depth then maybe use the 6th on a FB because as of now the Browns still dont have a true FB. The starting FB last year was a 3rd down specialist at halfback who beat out Maricic. This needs upgraded. Billy Winn at the goalline is all they had last year and they didnt use it much. Im not sure if Shanahan uses a FB or a 2 TE set to get Alfred Morris yards but either way, one more player needs to be added to fill that need. Maybe Grey molds himself into a player of value this offseason from being a QB at Minnesota.

Personally, I'd prefer Teddy, Manziel, or Carr over any of those guys. I think you could talk me into Winston or maybe Mariota over and of the other guys in this draft. Petty and Hundley... no thanks. I'd rather take Murray, Mettenberger, or Garoppolo over Petty and Hundley. Heck, I'd rather take Kessler over Petty or Hundley.

Here's a #1 rated draft I really like:
Round 1 Pick 5 (OAK): Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida (A)
Round 1 Pick 28 (CAR): Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA (A)
Round 2 Pick 3: Odell Beckham, WR, LSU (A-)
Round 2 Pick 4 (OAK): Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame (A)

A DT in the 2nd round? Eh. I love having depth, but thats a little extreme... Rather find a Corner
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

WalterFootball has Bortles going #1 to Houston... Teddy dropping to the Bucs at 7... And Manziel to the Vikes at 8...

I actually think that's feasible.
I also think it's possible that the first QB taken could be by the Browns at #26.

JC FWIW, Tony Grossi's first three mock drafts had the Browns taking Bortles at 4 and CJ Mosley at 26. His 4th mock came out today and he now has the Browns taking Watkins at 4 and Shazier at 26. In this latest mock, Bortles goes to Houston, Manziel to Jax, and Bridgewater to Oakland - after being passed over by the Browns. I wonder if he knows something, or is he just spitballing? http://espncleveland.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=17&post_id=29851

Spitballing, just like every other Draftnik out there. Nobody knows anything more than the people on this board.
If they don't change their mocks, nobody has anything to talk about - and that is bad for their site traffic.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Aside from my not being high on Brotles, that is an excellent draft.

We should take Tony Grossi's view of anything because...?
I've seen more intelligent and well-thought out commentary come from posters on this message board.

He was BPA, nobody available when I picked that wouldn't be a reach. Future nose.

Thanks, BpG!
Here's a crazy draft. Ranked #1. Both Bridgewater & Bortles were gone at 4, and no one I really wanted there at 26 (Beckham was there but I had Sammy) so I traded into the 2nd round, and no one there I really wanted either so the positions of need, Yankey, Verrett & Brooks are all slight reaches. Then the rest of the draft fills out nicely.
Round 1 Pick 5 (OAK): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (A)
Round 2 Pick 1 (HOU): David Yankey, OG, Stanford (B)
Round 2 Pick 3: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU (B+)
Round 2 Pick 4 (OAK): Terrence Brooks, FS, Florida State (B-)
Round 3 Pick 1 (HOU): Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois (A)
Round 3 Pick 7: Chris Borland, ILB, Wisconsin (A)
Round 3 Pick 19: Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (A)
Round 4 Pick 6: Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas (A)
Round 4 Pick 27: Bishop Sankey, RB, Washington (A)
Round 5 Pick 5: Bruce Ellington, WR, South Carolina (A)
Round 6 Pick 4: Kirby Van Der Kamp, P, Iowa State (A)
Round 7 Pick 3: Chris Boswell, K, Rice (A)
