Mike Mayock Unleashes His Mock Draft

[Saca312]

Mike Mayock has released his first mock draft of the NFL draft season a night before draft day. A guy with a lot of inside sources, he usually helps project - to an extent - an accurate depiction of the draft.

Here's his full draft for your enjoyment:

Some things of interesting note:

• Fournette goes to the Jaguars at 4, an unlikely scenario based on the numerous rumors I'm hearing.  @Verge has made it very clear that his NFL scout source says that it's between OJ Howard, Cam Robinson, QB Deshaun Watson, and a D-line prospect. The Chicago Tribune reports back up this statement. A RB will be likely taken in the later rounds, as their GM has "gone out of his way to defend them," so it's very unlikely Fournette goes to them ahead of us.
• Browns trade up to 5; Titans down to 12. Browns get their QB while Titan's get John Ross, a surprise pick imo.
• S Malik Hooker falls all the way to 19. Not a good thought considering he's one of my highly rated safeties, and I do not want to see him in the NFC South at all
• OJ Howard is picked up by the Jets at 6. Woah.
• Chargers get Solomon Thomas. A huge steal
• As expected, the SF 49ers are sold on Jamal Adams. @Verge reported that even if Garrett falls, there's a possibility they'd still pass on him for Adams. Interesting to say the least.
• Deshaun Watson falls to 25

What say you?

I would be a little upset if we passed on Hooker, who could make our defense very scary pretty quickly. If Hooker fell that far I'd trade next year's 1st and our 2nd just to move up and get him

I'm done

I'm going to sleep. Wake me up at 7 pm tomorrow.

Only argument you can make is that he plays the same position as Coleman.  Team could think the FS slot is in pretty good shape for the next few years and just go all in.  Now passing on Adams would be a different story, as he's an SS

dude you said you were done until tomorrow.  this is going to be a shitfest next few days. I'm gonna need to stock up on toilet paper.

[Shocker]

McCaffrey is gonna rip up the league.  I hope no one gets him before 8

Lol. Done as in my mock draft is my final say in who I want. I promise I won't be spewing rumors of the sort tomorrow, and the only write-ups I plan on doing are on our own picks and how they elevate our team.

Nice work Mike.
