You Cant Tell Me You Don't Like This Draft (Early March / Post Combine Edition)

[Hoenheim]

R1 Isaiah Simmons (LB/S Clemson)

R2 Denzel Mims (WR Baylor)

R3 Kyle Dugger (S, Lenior Rhyne) 

R4 Tyler Biadasz (C/OG, Wisconsin) 

R5 Leki Fotu (DT, Utah) 

R6  Michael Pittman Jr (WR, USC) 

R7 Benito Jones (DT, Ole Miss) 

 

[Hoenheim]

only thing I dont like is not picking up a OT but i covered a lot of bases in this mock. Got 2 talented tall WRs were sorely missing from this offense. Simmons isn't a Luke replacement but exponententially transforms are LB core from very underwhelming to  another great unit

Got 2 interesting DT prospects even if they aren't game changers. 

Duggar is extremely talented and I beleive he's been scouted by the Panthers already. Mims has the obvious connection to Rhules tenure at Baylor and seems like a very obvious 2nd round pick if hes there. Pittman is just another big body WR who might not be as fast but has an insane catch radius. 

Just a very good mix IMO and setus us up for success assuming A) Cam is healthy and STAYS health and B) We have at least servicable LT play from Greg Little or someone else

[Shocker]

Pretty damn awesome

Big fan of Mims and especially Pittman.  If he lasts to day three he is a fuggin steal

Nice picks with the others as well

[LinvilleGorge]

Past the first two picks I seriously doubt the guys you've listed will be available.

Honestly, I think we've failed miserably if we don't draft a lineman in the 1st and/or the 2nd.

[45catfan]

Most of those guys will not be available when you have us drafting them.  I agree, it's an awesome draft.  Unrealistic though. 

[Eazy-E]

Very similar to my mock. I like it

[Ricky Spanish]

Honestly not a fan of Simmons as our 1st pick.

Sure it doesn't hurt to have a great LBer, but they've kind of gone the way of the RB in terms of importance on a defense. You need a stout front 4 who in turn make the LBers and secondary look better. 

We need help along both lines over LBer, even with losing Luke. I think that taking Simmons #1 overall would be an overreaction to letting an all time great leave when the game is evolving away from needing an all time great at the position.

I've got, by round:

Dugger-2

Biadasz-2/3

Fotu-3

Pittman-3

[stirs]

1st and 3rd pick are about right, 2nd pick a bit early, and the rest are waaaaay too late.

2  2nd round picks

3 3rd round picks

who would not like it

[sml1950]

Might want to try and squeeze a CB in there somewhere 

 

[Jesse]

If our top ranked OT is gone and Simmons is there, that’s who I want in the first. And actually I don’t think taking a WR early is a bad thing. 

[micnificent28]

Dugger destroyed the combine.. wont be there at 3. was already ranked to 50 by most before then.

[JawnyBlaze]

Wouldn’t be excited about a LB with #7, but if it happens I’ll just hope he can be the sort of generational LB Kuechly was in order to justify it.
