NCFan April NFL mock

[ncfan]

1. Browns: Saquon Barkley- suprise no QB here.  Last year, the Browns liked Garrett and Trubisky.  They planned on grabbing Garrett then trading back up for Mitch.  Problem is, when he fell to 2 he was gone.  The Browns Love Barkley, he is a game changer.  And new OC loves that after having Bell with the Steelers.  They have interest in multiple QBs in this talented class.  So no threat of all of them being gone at 4.

2.  TRADE! Buffalo- trades up both first and moves up.  Gettleman Really wanted Barkley.  Once he was gone, he called up a old friend Beane who he knows is really trying to trade up for a QB.

Buffalo: Sam Darnold- the Bills get their #1 QB to build around in a team that alresdy made leaps to a playoff team last year.

3. Jets: Baker Mayfield- best fit here.  They feel Allen is still a littoe Raw, Rosen off field issues scare them.  Mayfield is just a flat out winner and can throw the ball.  He is the sparkplug they need behind center in that offense.

4. Browns: Josh Allen- the top QB in this draft is like the flavor of the week and who you talk to.  At one point Allen was for sure the #1 guy and projected #1 to the Browns.  Browns get the big arm QB to go with the top RB.  Nice weapons for this new OC. 

5. Denver: Josh Rosen- talk about a QB run.  This is absolutely the best lsnding spot for Rosen. Many say he is the most ready QB in this draft, and has the tools to be the best in this class.  The BIG issue that has made him drop from being in the conversation for #1 is off-field issues. They say he doesnt have the motivation amd has to be pushed, where some have questioned his love for the game.  When he is pushed, he is a straight up competitor.  Broncos have this GM who just so happens to be a former superbowl winning QB and competitive.  Plus have this new FA Keenam who is a big competitor. See vikings playoff run.  PLUS a QB who the Broncos traded up into the 1st to get recently who has tools and upside in Lynch.  Rosen has more people pushing him there than anywhere 

6. Colts: Quentin Nelson- it was real hard passing on Chubb.  But with a injured prone QB theyve invested so much into.  And a OG sitting there who is graded out the best player in the draft, safest player in this draft, and a possible future HOF.  The Colts just cant pass that up.

7. Bucs: Bradley Chubb-  many other needs in the draft.  But Chubb is a top 5 talent and best defensive player in this draft.  Pairing him with JPP and MCcoy in the middle will help change that defense.

8. Bears: Minkah Fitzpatrick- QBs at the top pushed talent down.  Fitzpatrick can play S or CB

9. 49ers: Tremaine Edmunds- i was going to say Derwin James.  But with the saga with Reuben Foster.  A LB is needed.  If Foster somehow continues and plays.  Edmunds can come in and play that edge rushing OLB like Vic Beasley in Atl who runs the same D as San Fran.  If not he can replace Foster and play that MLB

10.  Oakland: Denzel Ward

11.  Dolphins: Da'ron Payne- big DT who can do it all.  Pass rush and stop the run.  Nfl.com has his comparison to Suh.  The Dolphins just lost Suh so Payne would fill the hole well.

12. Giants (via Buffalo): Marcus Davenport- giants and Gettleman Love pass rushers.  Davenport is a Freak, and the team just traded JPP.

13. Redskins: Vita Vea- redskins had trouble stopping the run last year.  The Big freak has the ability to play anywhere on the line in that 3-4 D

14. Greenbay: Harold Landry- Landry comes in and helps that D rush the passer

15. Cardinals: Josh Jackson

16. Baltimore: DJ Moore- Fast riser from just down the road.

17. Chargers: Roquan Smith- Chargers stop his fall.  

18. Seahawks: Derwin James

19. Cowboys: Courtland Sutton

20. Lions: Maurice Hurst

21. Bengals: James Daniels

22. Giants (via Buffalo): Will Hernandez- 2 words, "Big, Uglies"

23. Patriots: Lamar Jackson- patriots have shown interest

24. Panthers: Calvin Ridley 

25. Titans: Leighton Vander Esch

26 . Falcons: Isiah Wynn

27. Saints: Mike Gesicki- Big Freak athlete TE with a basketball background.  No were mot talking about Jimmy Graham who was a superstar in that saints offense.  It is Gesicki. 

28.  Steelers: Rashaan Evans

29. Jax: trade! Arizona trades away 2019 1st and moves up to Grab Mason Rudolph.

30. Vikings: Mike McGlinchey 

31. NE: Mike Hughes

32. Eagles: kolton miller
