Lost's Big Board/Occasional Mock Draft

[Inqui]

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Am I not allowed to have a life or something?

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I still stand by this. Derrick Henry is overrated. I do not like him. That is all.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I hope Dallas Takes Derrick Henry. He'd be a super stud behind that oline opening up holes the size of Texas.......

I know where the door is

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Mock incoming

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

1. Detroit Lions: ​Larmey Tunsil LT

The Lions need a LT so desperately. This pick kills two birds with one stone. Reif could move to his more natural RT position and Tunisl could fill in at LT. When you have the opportunity to get a franchise LT, you take it.  

 

2. San Diego Chargers:  Ronnie Staley LT

Here me out. The Chargers are a mess. They have a franchise QB, gave him weapons, have a few pieces on defense, but they need improvement on the oline. Plug Staley anywhere. He will do wonders for you. King Dunlap is a worse version of Eugene Monroe(and isn't as good to begin with anyway). 

 

Yes. My first two picks are based off of Walterfootball. That guy is an idiot. But I agree with him... Holy crap this is looking like the 2013 draft again. *shudders in fear*

 

 

3. Cleveland Browns: Laquon Treadwell WR

The Browns again completely miss the point here(as they usually do.... I actually think this pick is going to happen). But knowing them, this pick will be traded for a team oh so desperate for Mr. Goff(cough, San Francisco). They get a WR to partner up with Benjamin, and Gordon, for their crappy QB situation. 

 

 

4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Joey Bosa OLB/DE

In a division where Mr Andrew Luck, aka "Holy crap I literally am carrying the team on my back", you need a plethora of pass rushers to compete. Fowler seems to be out for the year(not seems. Is), and well. That defense needs some work done before it's amazing. A Fowler-Bosa combo would be beyond unfair, and could turn into an elite duo. 
 

 

5. Tennessee Titans: Robert Nkiechime(you know what? Screw it.. I'm not changing it). 

The Titans fans will start to have heart attacks, as they claim they need safety help more than anything else.  Well, the Titans should take the BPA, and since their isn't an olinmen left to take, they take someone to partner with Casey. Now Lee Hill is a good NT, but Klug is a rotational man. With Robert they might get a star on defense. Something they cannot afford. 

 

6. Baltimore Ravens: Vernon Hargreaves III CB

The Boards will descend into chaos, as the likes of certain posters will call for the firing of Ozzie(and Harbaugh... Even though his influence is minimal here). This will happen regardless of who is selected here. Hargreaves alone is going to make the defense that much better, and he is the most pro ready corner in years. He's technically sound, has good ball skills, and is a good athlete. Eventually, he should become the #1 corner, giving us a formidable duo with Jimmy and Vernon. 

 

 

7. Dallas Cowboys: Jaelen Ramsey FS

You know... I'm tired of Jerry Jones taking players I like. It makes the universe feel out of order. 

 

Do I really have to explain this pick? All of you love him, and will hate me for taking VH3 over the guy...

 

 

8. San Francisco 49ers: Jared Goff QB

He doesn't have to go too far. Goff is like an Aaron Rodgers lite. He's got a good arm, good mobility, good accuracy. He's got the tools. And already might be better than Kaepernick......... Not saying much.

 

 

9. Houston Texans: Christian Hackenberg QB

The Texans eventually have to address the QB position right?  They keep ignoring it. 2014: A bunch of good QB prospects. Has number one overall pick. Takes Clowney. Who's amounted to one career sack. 2015: Decent QB class. Ignores it still. 

 

Take a QB Texas. You're not that far away. 

 

 

10. Miami Dolphins: Jaylon Smith MLB

He does have a very high ceiling, and quite frankly, Miami could use a running mate who's good in all facets of the game. 

 

 

11. Chicago Bears: Myles Jack MLB

Chicago has an atrocious defense that quite frankly, needs an upgrade everywhere not along the defensive line. They need coverage backers in a division with the likes of Megatron, Cobb, Nelson, others, all in which are proficient in going over the middle. Jack has great instincts and is good vs the run.  

 

 

12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josh Doctson WR

What's better than one WR that's awesome(Mike Evans.. Yes he had that awful game, but is still a pretty good WR). Doctson may not have long speed, but he is a very reliable target who Winston could use. 

 

 

13. Washington Redskins: A'Shawn Robinson DT

We can all agree the Redskins are awful at everything right? Sure, this would be a good pick, but they'd probably mess up everything else in the draft making this completely worthless. 

 

 

14. Kansas City Chiefs: Connor Cook QB

​Well... Alex Smith is not bad. He's a game manager. And honestly, the Chiefs don't have that many problems in the foreseeable future. They have solid CBs, a pass rusher waiting in the wings to help out Houston when Hali leaves, a decent dline. Developing a QB Aaron Rodgers style(haha. Ironic I know), is not a bad idea for them. Smith would be a good guy to have as a mentor. He doesn't make many mistakes, and he is fairly accurate. Cook is already accurate though. So yeah.

 

 

15. New Orleans Saints: Shaq Lawson OLB

Drew Brees is on his knees, begging the Saints to give him a freaking defense. Seriously, they need to replace a whole unit not named Cameron Jordan and the few other decent players they have. It starts with a pass rush though, so taking a good prospect like Lawson makes sense. 

 

16. Oakland Raiders:Kenny Clark DT

I officially announce my apologies to the Raiders for berating them when they took Cooper over Williams. Granted, I think Williams will be a very good player, but Carr has a new bff. But alas, while Carr has proven that he can already lead a team to a super bowl(yep. I think he's that good), he does not have the dline to do so. Build from the middle out. 

 

 

17. St. Louis Rams: Corey Coleman WR

Nick Foles needs another competent WR. Actually, he just needs a competent outside man, and Coleman is very good. A bit lazy with the blocking and what not, but his big play ability is evident, with good hands and speed. 

 

 

18. Philadelphia Eagles: Tre'Devious White CB

..... Have you seen their secondary?

 

 

19. Buffalo Bills: Taylor Decker OT

Buffalo's Oline is so bad that even I cringe whenever I look at it. Need I go on?

 

 

20. Seattle Seahawks: Leonard Floyd OLB/MLB

Seattle has a tendency to just draft weird. And Floyd would actually be what they're going for. He strangely fits that defense and could fill the Bruce Irvin role effectively. 

 

 

21. Pittsburgh Steelers: Emmanuel Ogbah OLB

They lack a pass rusher in Pittsburgh. James Harrison is old, and who is the other starter aside from him? Exactly. Jarvis Jones sucks. Sorry, he may resemble Suggs, but in my scenario, he's going to Pittsburgh.

 

 

22. New York Jets: Paxton Lynch

Surprisingly, I have seen no tape on him. but from what I hear, he's overrated as a prospect and could fall. Enter the Jets, who have a good mentor QB present in Fitzpatrick.

 

23. Atlanta Falcons: Shillique Callhoun OLB

Combined with Beasley, this combo could work very well. Giving the Falcons defense a devastating duo for years to come. 

 

24. Minnesota Vikings: Jack Conklin OT

Kalil has regressed each year Micheal Oher style. To protect Bridgewater, they need to get more guys(it's 3 am.. I have horrible grammar at 3am). Protect Teddy. Please 

 

25. Indianapolis Colts: Ezekil Elliot RB

 

*continually ignores defense and offensive line... Andrew Luck then cries*

 

 

26. New York Giants: Adolphous Washington DT

Hankins is a good dlinemen. But they miss Joseph big time. Spags will have some fun with Washington. 

 

27. Arizona Cardinals: Deforest Buckner DE

They need someone to replace Dockett. They have some good pass rushers, but for the most part are old, and need some retooling. Campbell is very good, but he's only one(monster of a ) man. 

 

 

 

28. Green Bay Packers: Reggie Ragland MLB.

The middle of that defense has been a massive problem for years. And they still are awful. Ragland is just a thumper, but they could use that. 

 

 

29. Denver Broncos: Andrew Billings NT

Sly Williams is not a good NT. Sorry. They have very little needs, but an upgrade at NT will make that defense that much better in it's totality. 

 

30. Cincinnati Bengals: Chris Jones DE/DT

They need more rushing ability somewhere. Somehow. The interior is a good place to get it to partner with Atikins. 

 

 

31. Carolina Panthers:  Michael Thomas

Funchess is someone I am not a fan of, and they need another guy to go with Benjamin. Thomas is reliable, a good route runner, and a good option for Cam Newton.

 

Ravens round two - 4 come later. After I sleep       

 

 

 

 

 

32. New England Patriots: LOL

[usmccharles]

Ogbha...noooooooo. 

[JoeyFlex5]

the only thing i disagree about with ur mock, is that you say the boards will erupt into chaos over taking VH3 and everyone will hate you... 

 

from my experience, hargreaves appears to be by far the favorite between the top 2 DBs.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Honestly, I like Boyd more than any of the others. I personally have him ranked at the top... But I actually could see some teams hate the DUI and see him drop to the second.

 

Boyd is just a fluid route runner and imo has the best and most consistent hands in the draft

If Boyd's there for our second pick (even if it's 32 overall) I think my head would explode.

 

And then it would explode again when we passed on him for a NT.

[PurpleCity5]

I would be shocked if Cleveland took Treadwell at 3. I don't consider any WR in this draft that good to go that early. 

[RaineV1]

I agree that no WR should go that early in this draft, but this is the Browns. Them doing something dumb with a high pick wouldn't be particularly surprising. Remember, it's the same team that took Manziel over Carr and Bridgewater.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Rest of draft

Oh, and a mock offseason

Resign, Tucker, Aiken, Givens. We need depth sadly

Cut Webb, Daryl, and Forsett(I think Buck can be a starter).

Sign:

Olivier Vernon DE

Pierre Garcon WR

Zach Brown ILB

Round Two: Yannick Ngaukoue OLB

This guy is tailor made for our defense. He has held his own against two current olinmen in the NFL(Peat, and Brandon Scherref), and is a very definition of an attack dog. His burst off the line of scrimmage is very impressive, and he holds the edge well for a college player. Yes. I understand he's from Maryland, a joke of a football school. But Brandon Williams came from a tiny school and turned dominant. Randy Moss went to Marshall. Who cares where these people come from? Ngaukoue has talent, and has skills, and honestly. He plays like a Raven. He'd be a hell of an addition to the squad.

Round Three: Pharoh Cooper WR

I like Cooper a lot and he does not seem to get much love. Understandably so. He's very good though, some aspects of his game remind me of a Randall Cobb. Others remind me of TY Hilton. The guy is explosive with open space. Not much long speed, and he's quicker than fast which is fine. We could use an intermediate threat over the middle.

Round Four: Karl Joseph Safety

If Terrance Brooks does not pan out, we need a contingency plan. Joseph may be small like Elam but actually has ball and coverage skills, and was leading the nation in interceptions. He needs to get a lot bigger, but he can actually defend the deep ball..

Round Four Comp: Ryan Kelly Center Alabama

Ozzie Newsome always takes an Alabama player in the upper rounds. And he takes a good one here. Bama's oline is opening up massive holes for Henry the size of Texas. From what I have seen of Kelly, I think he could fit in with us. He appears to have more power and Urschel would step back in the guard position.

There you have it.

So we don't have a first round pick?

[JoeyFlex5]

who do you have us passing on for ngakoue though? 

 

i agree with your analysis on him, i like him a lot, but im just not sure hes better than many of the prospects that could be available that early in the 2nd round..

Ngakoue is totally underrated. I would have him in the 2nd round but his stock is a bit unknown which is why I don't think he'll go in the 2nd. My best bet is the 3rd round and goodness would he be a steal there. He went in on Brandon Scherff last season.

i cant see him falling to the 3rd, but i think 37th overall may be a bit high, hes more of a 50s guy in my opinion. if we were to make that move, i would just defer to the FO and support it, hes an explosive pass rusher and thats something we need, cant be mad at that one even if it is a bit of a reach. i would just hope we arent passing on any clear first round talents, since we seem to have a knack for getting first round talents in the 2nd

I like him but the draft is just unpredictable when it comes to guys like Ngakoue. His stock is a bit unknown as of now. I think where he stands will be more clear as the draft approaches. 

[GrimCoconut]

I agree on Ngakoue. He's a really good pass rusher on a bad team, and he's done well against some very good opponents. Maryland can produce talent, as we've seen from Smith and Diggs.

As for his stock, it could be anywhere from the second to the fourth round. I personally see him as a late second to mid third round pick atm. My rationale for this is that this OLB class isn't exceptional but there are a lot of guys who are very even with each other. In that way, I think Yannick may slip some because I'm not sure he'll be as dominant at the combine as others, although I don't think that means he won't succeed as a pro.

[JoeyFlex5]

one issue i have with ngakoue, at least from what ive seen of him, he is an inconsistent tackler, he struggles with heavy backs it seems. his tackling style is a lot of wrap-up and deadweighting, he could do with another 5-10 lbs and better "drive" tackling technique. if we draft an OLB in the top of the 2nd, we are expecting a starter, not a 1/3rd type of guy, i can see guys like jeremy hill and leveon bell giving him a tough time, he just needs to work on his ability to attack the core of the player and drive through, he gets dragged and spun around quite a bit. and to clarify, im not saying he misses tackles, from everything ive seen he seems to get the ballcarrier down, but i can see a struggle in that aspect and in the NFL i have to wonder if that is exposed when dealing with bigger and stronger players

[Jamal]

I don't love Garcon, but if he's cheap, I'd gladly take him over what we have.

And I would not cut Forsett... Even if you think Buck is a starter (I'm not so sure), Justin would still be a valuable 3rd down back. He'd also be a great back-up plan if Buck fails as a starter.

Agreed. Forsett is cheap enough where I don't see the value in cutting him. Allen would need to go on a tear for me to say do it. The fact is that Taliaferro has been injured two years in a row that ended his seasons. Do we really want to rely on him being healthy when he hasn't proved he can? I'm a big fan of both Taliaferro and Allen myself.

Doubt the Ravens want to lose Forsett either.  Harbaugh pointed to him as the guy they think can help straighten up Terrance West.  In a team that seems a bit devoid of leadership on the player front right now, I think they'll place a premium value on a guy like Forsett.

Yeah. I think you're obviously spot on here and on the money. I wouldn't be surprised if we kept 4 RB next year. I think it depends on how West does, but I wouldn't be surprised if our RB corps was Forsett, Allen, Taliaferro, West.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Eh IDK, I do think that Forsett is cheap but I think we need to clear money. Flacco might not restructure and if that's the case, we'll have to make a cut. And no offense to Justin. I'll pick Flacco over him any day of the week.

 

 

That being said. I think/hope we take the route of addressing CB in FA. I honestly think that if Bosa is there, Ozzie takes him (in a heartbeat), and in round 2 goes Jonathan Allen(if we still have Justin) or Derek Henry(which would piss me off). Would be much revolting for Allen, even though I like him a lot. 

 

There's a big part of me that thinks we double dip at pass rusher and WR. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

The way I see it, I think we'll end up 4th or 5th overall. With Detriot, Tennesse, San Diego, Cleveland ahead of us.

Way I see it, Detroit takes a tackle, Titans take the other of the two. San Diego is going to need a FS. I think Ramsey is the perfect man for that. The wildcard is Cleveland since they're upset about Mingo, but at the same time are desperate for a QB.

Point here is. We need to lose to Cleveland if we want to secure Bosa. I'm convinced we need him. I'd be happy with Tunsil and Stanley sure... But Bosa is a man you can build a defense around and we already have good pieces there(CJ, Jernigan, Brandon, Jimmy, Hill). It would give us a great piece in a young front 7. I think he needs some development, but realistically, he and Ogbah would solve a few problems for us.

Round Two I'd go BPA. Candidates to fall are Jack(if he has shoddy combine numbers I could see him fall and would swoop him in a heartbeat. That dude's got game), Tyler Boyd, Vadal Alexander, and between the three I'd honestly be inclined to take Jack. Jack and Bosa would do wonders of the defense and say goodbye to the middle of the field coverage wise. If Boyd isn't there, I wouldn't go WR. I honestly don't like Michael Thomas too much and after Boyd there is a slight dropoff imo. Coleman, Doctson, Treadwell, and Boyd are all very good. Don't like Thomas too much.. He's the quintessential possesion WR, and I would honestly trade back. Honestly, I'd be good with going Jonathan Allen from Alabama here. He's veristile and a McPhee esq player. We need a rusher after all and it is an even numbered year.

Round Three: Karl Joseph and Max Turek. Those are who I want here. I'd trade back into the third to get Turek tbh.

What makes you say we slip behind Detroit in the draft order? They've been finding some decent wins lately and I imagine they have at least one more in them (as upset about it as I'm sure their fans are). I won't predict too much about the draft order until our game against Cleveland is done, but I can actually agree with 4th/5th - I just think Dallas or SF are more likely to weasel their way in front of us.

 

SD will finish top three imo, and take Tunsil or Bosa. Unless something big happens like him getting done for smoking weed with Ray Rice (or he says something about following in the footsteps of predecessor Michael Oher), I'd stake my display pic on them taking Tunsil. I think Bosa would be their second choice just from a talent perspective.

 

Tennessee could take anyone not a QB or DB. Hopefully they do us a favour and take Kim D. If the Sailboats finish ahead of us, they're surely taking a QB.

 

I agree about throwing positions into the wind for round two. I think whoever we take there will be a guy who had first-round value before the draft - mid-first, if we're lucky. Whoever guesses our second pick correctly will be the person who works out who falls down draft boards. Vadal Alexander would be an interesting one - sign me up if that's how it shakes out.

[Maryland]

Ngakoue is just as good as Leonard Floyd in my eyes. Both project as lightweight DPR's in the NFL who struggle vs the run. The difference is one is quietly playing well for a 2-win team while the other is a 1st round projection playing for Georgia. 

 

I just hope Ngakoue doesn't flop like Dee Ford or Marcus Smith.

Kim D fits that Tenn defense like a glove, and while I do think he's risky, Tenn would be foolish to try and not have a Casey/Nk lineup.

Honestly. Bosa is my guy. If SF and Cleveland are ahead of us, both having awful GMs(and the niners actually not needing an OLB), I think Goff and Lynch come off the board. Niners could also use Staley tbhCowboys? That's who I am afraid of to take Bosa away. If Detroit and SD are ahead of us, Tunsil and Stanley come off the board. At that point you have Tennesse. Who could use some oline protection but have no one. They don't need Bosa either, as they have Orakpo and Morgan. So I could honestly see them going KimD. SF would take Goff, their local boy, and Cleveland would take Paxton Lynch because honestly they suck. Then we'd have Bosa.

So in other words. Please screw up Schaub. You're our only hope.

Btw..

1. Joey Bosa

2. Tyler Boyd(I think he's going to fall)

3. Eddie Jackson(we know Ozzie is going Alabama at some point)

4. Jack Allen(we need a center to eventually replace Zuttah. Albeit, Urschel isn't bad but I think he's KO's replacement.

And let's get one thing out of the way... No I do not think starting LT is our biggest need. I think we need a much better backup then Hurst. Because if we had an above average backup, we'd be fine off. I think if the opportunity is there to take one we should(unless Bosa is on the board) because they don't grow on trees, but Monroe isn't the issue. His injuries piss us off sure. But who on the offensive line hasn't been hurt this year at some point?

I think if the opportunity is there to take one we should(unless Bosa is on the board) because they don't grow on trees, but Monroe isn't the issue. His injuries piss us off sure. But who on the offensive line hasn't been hurt this year at some point?

I honestly can't see Detroit finishing ahead of us in the draft order. They've got one more win already, and have games against NO, St Louis, Chicago and the Sailboats. Surely that's at least two wins there.

 

If we lose to Cleveland (and lose out), we'd theoretically have the tiebreaker over them so that'd be one fewer pick we have to worry about. Imo that leaves SD as 100% picking above us, Tennessee probably doing so, and Dallas, SF and Cleveland in a race to the bottom (possibles I guess).

 

Like I say, if SD are picking first, they're taking Tunsil. I'd put money on it. He just makes too much sense for them. Tennessee might go Stanley, but as you say they might well prefer Kim D to Bosa as a fit. I could see Cleveland going either way between Bosa and a QB tbh - Ray Farmer loves the trenches and he's not afraid to upgrade them. Bosa would be a very Jerry Jones pick (sigh). Hopefully they jag a win over Washington.

 

I agree about LT - my take is that we shouldn't shy away from upgrading Monroe if the opportunity arises through a guy being BPA, but it's not a wasted offseason by any stretch if Monroe is our guy next year. I just think Stanley and Tunsil will have better careers than Monroe, and both have a case for BPA (though at this stage I'm leaning Bosa, but I've been fluctuating for a while over who I like).

 

So yeah, I think Tunsil is off the board by the time we pick, but Bosa may or may not be there. A lot depends on this weekend's result.
