Jacquouille

Yeah, based on how everyone has been souring on him (and not just here), Calhoun might be a 3rd round steal. I'll have to rewatch his tape but I'm glad someone finally brought him back in the discussion, I think we buried him a bit too early.

Bienvenue mon ami!!!! I lived in france the earlier parts of my life as well. 

I like the mock a lot although im not too familiar with your mid round picks, the only thing with treadwell is if our front office really feels impressed enough by him to have him rated high enough on our board. He has to run at least a sub 4.5 and show a good vertical, but if the draft plays out like you had it i see it being a choice between stanley, alexander, buckner, and treadwell in any order at this point. I think we really need a big contribution from our pick and he will have to be a day one starter, i dont see that from buckner or stanley because buckner will get lost in our rotation with all the guys we have and like you, i really dont want a left tackle, we need playmakers, so it comes down to treadwell and alexander and id be happy with either or, it just depends who perfoms better at the combine.

Oh right, I forgot to thank you all for your greeting, it's really nice of you all!

I'd agree with everything you said, with some nuances. Tread will make the most impact from Day One, I agree. He's certainly the one we benefit the most taking. Also I don't want Stanley because LT in the first almost always end up to be busts. And Buckner will be a 3 down dominant player, which would stop the developpment of Davis and Urban, meaning a 3rd round pick and a 4th round pick go to waste, while our coaches could raise them into very good players.

kind of scary to hear the him say he would rather have Elam back there than Webb, is starting Elam worth the savings? 

 

Sidenote, you shouldnt change your mock draft to fit your critics, its your mock draft.  If you listen to everyones opion and just go off what "we" want then theres not much to discuss.  Different mocks make it more fun

To me, Elam is a SS, nothing else. Brooks should be the starting FS as of right now.

The critics are basically true, and this mock is just one among many others that I've imagined, so I don't mind changing until I find one that satisfies me

Just wondering who do you have going 1-5?

1) Tunsil

2) Goff

3) Bosa

4) Ramsey

5) Hargreaves

Do I need to explain this part?

Reach on most rounds in my view, but a solid draft nonetheless. However, I'm unsure the Ravens will go Treadwell if there are great options at tackle and DE/OLB

Unless Buckner if you consider him to be a DE, there will be no DE/OLB worth a 6th, barring Bosa doesn't screw in the combine like Sizz did. And based on recent history, Ozzie will have to go over my humiliated body to draft a LT in the 1st.

 In the rare occasion he was singled up on conklin, who is by all means a first round NFL tackle, he made absolute lightwork of him, that's exactly what you're looking for from a DT prospect, hold your ground against double teams and dominate in single matchup. I feel like some people expect perfection from every prospect and won't consider them if they don't see that

My opinion basically  in all honesty, I don't understand how not to appreciate the MSU game. It was asolute dominance over a 1st round talent.

The "dropping into coverage" part made me lol (my girl asked what I was looking at). Said it in another thread but...Sizzle, Buckner, Williams, jerrigan, doom would be ridiculous

My thoughts also, having 3 guys upfront who need to be double teamed on every snap is a nightmare for any OC. You bring Doom, ZDS and Sizzle, that's as dominant as it gets.

 I think the talent is certainly there but he's inconsistent and doesn't really play with much technique from the 3 games I watched (MSU,OSU,ORE St). He seems to be able to overpower lesser OL but doesn't know how to use secondary moves to win against better talent. Saw him literally blown off the ball far too much for my liking and overall just looks like an young player who hasn't learned how to use his body yet. 

Apparently you and I saw the MSU game very differently. I saw him abusing Conklin (1st round talent, btw) on every play where he was single teamed (don't know if the word exists), and occasionally made some damages when double teamed. Being taken out of a play when you are double teamed or triple teamed is actually a good thing imo, and that's what happened in this game. 

A guy like Mosley would love to have Buckner in the team.

For those wondering about the "Webb being cut" part, I suggest you read this, it may not turn out to be true, but atm we badly need salary cap:

But somehow, as long as Lewis is not the starter next year I guess it's Ok, hopefully Brooks stays healthy and gets out of the doghouse 

The idea with this mock was to be realistic, being french and pessimist and all... I'll certainly do a 2.0 version during the week, based on your remarks.

Spence at 21st doesn't seem unrealistic. With a small bit of luck, it's possible. Jalen won't last until 45, however. At this spot, you can take Wright III (who, btw, won't be there in the 4th).

Not sure about the other 4/5th picks.

Clark was awful at the Senior Bowl, Joe Dahl would be better I think. I didn't know Chris Jones, but we have enough DT, I'd prefer an OLB or Cyrus Jones for example. And please, not Oakman, he's just physical attributes and media hype, is lazy and got embarassed at the Senior Bowl.

Anyway, having Tread, Spence and Fuller seem realistic and if it happens, only those three make it a killer draft.

According to PFF, they have Shepard as the #1 rated WR.  Can play inside and out, seamless breaks, creates separation with ease.  I'd love him, but he won't make it out of the 2nd round and has a shot at the first. 

 

I'm hoping he gets to us in the bottom of the 2nd round and Ozzie trades into the 2nd and takes Shepard. 

Shepard is widely seen as a 3rd rounder, maybe end of 2nd with his strong showing in the Senior Bowl, but having him with our picks isn't unrealistic.

I'm beginning to prefer the idea of trading back. There is just not one of the "blue chips" that I really want with a 6th pick. A trade back in the teens and then Noah Spence would be my perfect scenario.

Ramsey, Spence and Shepard would make me drool, although I don't believe Spence will last until the 2nd

In this situation, I would take Ramsey over Tread. I like Fuller in the second, but I don't think Yannick will last until the 3rd. Would be great though.

Overall I really like it, except for Striker, I just don't see him translate to the next level. There will be other interesting ILB in the 4th that I would take before him.

The reach part is very true, I just felt that Treadwell and Thompson are just what we need in both offense and defense, and I don't see us getting them one round later. Thompson has been mocked as a first rounder in some mocks, and as I said, I think Tread is the one who brings us the most in the 1st round. Plus, Thompson raised his stock in the Senior Bowl. Both, to me, are safe picks with immediate impact.

Btw I assume Ramsey will be gone by then, but if he is there, to me it's a no-brainer. In that case, Boyd or Scooby Wright III in the second are my guys, maybe Spence but imo he won't last until the second.

Also now that I think about it, Schobert in the beginning of the 3rd is definitely a reach. Let's put him in the early 4th and take an OT in the 3rd instead

First post on this forum, so I guessed I should make a mock so you guys could learn to know me and what I think. Btw I'm french, supposedly good in english but don't hesitate if you feel the need to correct me!

So here goes:

1) Laquon Treadwell, WR

To be honest, there isn't any prospect in the first round that I absolutly want more than any other. My favourite is Buckner, but I trust our coaching staff to developp Davis, Guy and Urban. And the idea of providing Flacco its first real WR1 excites me. Plus it's a matchup made in heaven for a Trestman offense. He's a safe pick, a reliable target and would make our recieving corps scary. Just remembering that 5 months ago we were supposed to have the weakest WR corpse in the league, and it's kinda funny...

2) Darian Thompson, FS

For all the talk about how bad the secondary was, it was just one good FS away from being really good, especially at the end of the season. I think Lewis and Webb will be cut, and Brooks being injury prone, bringing Thompson makes sense. He's the very definition of ballhawk, has an insane football IQ, is NFL ready and imo a future star at the position. He just has it all, and is widely considered the best FS in this draft (to me he's on par with Ramsey as a pure FS).

3) Joe Schobert, OLB

Physically, he's basically Doom 2.0, but his ability to drop into coverage is really interesting for us, and he's one of my favorites at the position. Fast, smart, and hustling on every single second of every single play. Just watch the Iowa match, it's incredible how much hustle this guy displays. The fact that he will learn with Doom is also perfect for him, and for us.

4) Joe Dahl, OT

Needed help in the OL, I'm a horrible judge for that kind of position so I'll trust the common thought on him, if he can be a fit with Castillo I'm all in.

4) Tyler Matakevich, ILB

It is time we find a replacement for Daryl. As they said for Borland: "He's too small. He's too slow. I don't care, he can play football.". This describes Matakevich quite well. He doesn't have the physical tools, but an insane work ethic, a study rat, and a contagious agressivity. He can be a great compliment for CJ.

4) Cyrus Jones, CB

A Bama guy, that can play CB and PR, has a chip on his shoulder... Have fun taking him Ozzie.

I'll stop here, not much sense going futher... Tell me what you think!
