Latest mock from Will Brinson (multiple trades)


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Posits a scenario where the Eagles trade up twice to snag Mariota and the rest of the first goes a little trade happy.

 

Has the Panthers taking D J Humphries with Jaelen Strong still on the board (Ravens take him at 26).

 

Seems a tad farfetched to me but judge for yourselves (link)

I think if we do trade then trading up 3 spots with the Steelers is the most likely scenario for us if Gettleman wants an OT. Detroit is very likely to take a tackle, Pittsburgh will almost surely take a CB and neither Arizona nor Detroit are likely to take a CB. It would make a lot of sense for both teams. Pittsburgh gets a 4th or 5th and still gets the CB they want and Carolina gets ahead of Detroit to get first dibs on the remaining OT's.

I could also see us trading up with Pitt if Gurley is still on the board to take him ahead of Zona. Wonder how the board would react to that one.

Right now it seems like pretty much nobody believes Gurley makes it past the Chargers at 17.

Early reports are that the Dolphins are apparently in love with him so there's a good chance he goes at 14.

 

The Miami media nailed the Ju'Wuan James pick like 3 weeks out last year so I'm inclined to give it some merit.

    • I would understand it--especially if DJ Johnson, Barno, and Wonnum finish strong.  Graham, however, might not be the best fit for Carolina with Brown back.  Our DTs have underperformed (Tuttle, Robinson) and they can be cut and save about $13m, or one can be cut and save $6.5m.  Who might be a better fit than Graham?   Maybe the guy beside him--Graham's sidekick, Kenneth Grant, is also a beast.  You could argue that he benefited by playing with Graham, just as he would in Carolina beside Brown.  However, teams like to double the big NT/3 tech, and if you do that, you get Browned.  Grant is a 340 lb DT who has 3 sacks this year--against Ohio State, Saturday, he had 5 QB pressures--and he has been doing that all year.  They could not block him.  If you want a player who compliments Brown (as opposed to rotating in with him) I would take a long look at Grant--in round two if he is there--after drafting an Edge in round 1.  In my view, THAT would solve the running game issues and give us pocket collapsing pressure up the A gap.  There is also a DT from Kentucky I like in this role, but Graham is good.
    • He is a free agent after this season. Do you want to pay him like a top kicker?  He can't kick much from past 50 yards. 
    • I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take.  We are miles better than we were week 1.    If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.
