Yes...another mock

[January J]

I was involved in a pretty serious car accident a few days ago and I've been in the hospital since. I've got a lot of time on my hands so yall please bare with me as I do another one of these to try and pass the time and ease my mind. Hopefully the meds don't skew my thought process too much

1) Reuban Foster- him paired with Mosley gives us a killer defense at every level. This has Ozzie written all over it. Not a huge need per say but he will be the BPA on our board at the time.

2) ( tradeback for extra 3rd) Sidney Jones- Iffy pick here but this guy will certainly go in the 2nd being one of the top 3 corners in the draft. Since our entire secondary is pretty much already set - it won't hurt us at all to basically redshirt him for a year. Sucks he got injured at his pro day BC I think he certainly had a great shot of being our pick at 16...but hey this could work out even better for us. Allowing us to land Foster and still get him and give him a year to learn behind Jimmy and Carr. Word is he might be healthier sooner than people think too so who knows. 

3) is it possible Tim Williams  could actually slide this far due to his off the feild issues and iffy combine performance? Probably not.  But one can hope. Thought about going Bowser here as well but in the end I went with Jordan Willis. He had a pretty monster combine but also a great year 11.5 sacks- 17.5 tackles for a loss and 3 FF. I think he'd be a good fit here.

3)Taylor Moton- in such a weak offensive line draft- other than the few first round guys he's really the only player I can see being a strong fit for us to replace Wagner. 

3) Rasul  Douglas- I've been very vocal about this guy being one of my fav corners in the draft. Hes got good height to go along with his ball Hawking skills. Probably a good idea to double dip here- esp since Sidney will likely be redshirted- Douglas can contribute right away. Witherspoon or Sutton are two other options here.

4) Was tough to wait on a receiver until the 4th - but I've got faith that Perriman can become that true number 1..and I also believe we pick up 2 veteran receivers after the draft. Thought about going Dede Westbrook or Isaiah Ford here- & I also like two other guys KD Cannon and Chance Allen. However I went with Noah Brown from Ohio st. He didn't put up any monster numbers but the potential is there. He has good size as I think we need taller receivers and I think he could become a great possession/ redzone target.

5) ( tradeback for a 7th rd pick) Joe Williams- everybody knows I'm a big Pumphrey fan but thought I'd switch it up. This guys a real sleeper and put up big numbers for Utah.

6) 2 choices here - Tanzel Smart or Ryan Glasgow. Depending on the info we get from Jim about Glasgow- he might be the pick...but as of now im gonna go with Tanzel Smart- who has been projected anywhere between the 3-6. I'm gonna say he falls and we snatch him- providing some much needed interior pass rush. He had 5.5 sacks with 18.5 tackles for a loss for Tulane. He could work well next to Bwill and Peirce. 

7)Robert Davis- we've got a lot of spots at WR to fill currently only having 2 sure starters at the position. Probably a good idea to double dip here as well. This guy out of Georgia st. Had 4 straight years of solid production and then showed out at the combine. Perfect combo of size and speed and good value for the 7th round.

In review:

Reuban Foster - LB

Sidney Jones - CB

Jordan Willis - OLB

Taylor Moton - RT

Rasul Douglas- CB

Noah Brown - WR

Joe Williams - RB

Tanzel Smart - DT

Robert Davis- WR

Cool Cool, like Foster a lot in round 1. I would prefer  Phillips/smooth to Willis. I'm not sure if Moton is there in round3.If so,cool.
