g8or's Second Mock Draft

[g8or_102352]

With the rumored move to 4-3 and a base nickel defense, the main needs will be CB and LB early. I also think that only Goff will go in the top 5, leaving us with a big decision at pick number 6.

 

1-1 Rams- Goff

1-2 Browns- Ramsey

1-3 Chargers- Tunsil

1-4 Cowboys- Bosa

1-5 Jaguars- Jack

1-6 Ravens- TRADE: I believe Buckner and Hargreaves are the two most logical choices here, but the Ravens phones will be ringing and I think they pull the trigger on a trade. SF, desperate for a QB gives up more than they need to secure the pick. 1-6 and 4-130 for 1-7, 2-37, and 4-105.

1-6 49ers- Wentz  

1-7 RAVENS- Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida. 10 career interceptions and 38 passes defensed in three years at Florida. Can also return punts and kickoffs. "While scouts have voiced some concerns about Hargreaves' size and recovery speed, you won't find anyone who doesn't admire his competitiveness and consistency of production. Hargreaves has a level of suddenness and explosiveness in his movements that should always have him near the ball. With top-notch ball skills and exceptional instincts that drew praise from Alabama's Nick Saban, Hargreaves possesses the football makeup to become a Pro Bowl cornerback."

2-36 Su'a Cravens, LB/S, USC. Finished his college career with 199 tackles, 34 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, nine interceptions and four forced fumbles. Many people say he is too small to be a productive LB, but at 6'1" 225 lbs, he is only one inch and 13 pounds smaller than Mosley. "Plays with a unique lens that includes his time at the safety position as a freshman. Teams focusing on putting a "tweener" label on him could be making a huge mistake considering his competitive nature and toughness. Cravens was highly disruptive and productive in each of his three seasons as a starter thanks to his tools/traits to act on his instincts. Cravens will help on special teams immediately and could become an early starter for a 4-­3 defense looking for a playmaking weak­-side linebacker."

2-37 Tyler Boyd, WR, Pitt. The Pitt record holder for career receptions(254) and yards (3,361) "Boyd makes up for a lack of speed with vice ­grips for hands and being intelligent in his routes. Boyd isn't a stand­alone WR1, but he can be a very productive starter in a play-­action attack that allows him to play to his strengths.", 

3-70 Charles Tapper, DE, Oklahoma. Learning under Suggs and Dumervil for a year or two could make him beast.

4-104 Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State.

4-105 Jaylon Smith, OLB, Notre Dame. Seems like the perfect time to take a chance on somebody who was considered a top five prospect before his injury.

4-132 Harlon Miller, CB, Southeastern Louisiana.

4-134 Joe Dahl, OG, Washington State.

6-182 Keith Marshall, RB, Georgia.

6-209 Deiondre Hall, FS, Northern Iowa.

 

Without a trade I see it going, 1-6 Hargreaves, 2-36 Cravens, 3-70 Tapper, 4-104, Haeg, 4-130 Peake, WR, Clemson, 4-132 H. Miller, 4-134 Dahl, 6-182 Marshall, 6-209 D. Hall.

Omit Jaylon and you have a great draft.

[BBoogieMan]

Nailed it!!!

Not bad at all. I think I like Hargreaves over Buckner too. He is a safe pick and is at a position of need. Cravens is a jack of all trades and would be a legit weapon. I think Boyd is a reach for where you have him, but he is a great receiver whose hands would be appreciated here. Tapper has all the raw potential needed to be an interesting pick too.

Excellent mock draft! Hargreaves, Cravens, and Boyd is one of the best early round combinations I've seen thus far. I also liked your thinking on taking Jaylon. I think he's a late round investment/gamble worth taking. The kid has great potential if he gets healthy. I see no harm in drafting him and letting him take the time to fully recover. And if his career does have to come to an end due to his injury then I'd be okay with that. Overall great mock!

Im not the biggest fan of VH3, but him and Cravens who has become my favorite prospect would do wonders for our coverage.  Boyd I really like as well.  The only question I have is the lack of pass rush being addressed, Tapper I think is really going to climb up the boards and I would not be surprised if he is a day 2 pick, I would of loved to see Ngakoue in this draft. 

[Jacquouille]

Whether we go 4-3 or not, it's an excellent draft.

[KBoum]

Great job. I just wouldnt take a chance on Jaylon whos career is likely over.

 

I could also see a back up QB somewhere. I like Brisset and maybe Sudfield with our last pick. If it wasnt for the DUI, maybe Prescott. Would need to chat with the kid before drafting him

[Somerset Ravens]

I would be shocked to see the 49ers give up that much to move up one spot. I would take Buckner over Hargreaves. Overall this draft looks solid.
