Ivan's Pre-combine/Pro-day Draft.


Ivan The Awesome

Recommended Posts

The situation here is that we'd trade our 8/9 pick to the Bengals for the rights to Trent Richardson or a high quality Offensive linemen (David Decastro) for their, what seems to be, Franchise QB Mr. Dalton. We'd give them our pick and we'd get their two first picks. #17 and #21. In theory that would be enough, I don't know if they'd have to give us a little more? Not sure about the point system, I should have looked at that before doing this draft but I felt kinda lazy. HAH! But here it goes.

1st-#17 Pick: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

1st-#21 Pick: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan

2nd: Markelle Martin, S, OSU

4th: Chris Rainey, WR/RB/KR/PR, Florida

5th: Cliff Harris, CB/PR, Oregon

6th: Dominique Davis, QB, East Carolina

7th: Drew Butler, P, Georgia

No fancy pictures, sorry mates.

I'd love the trade, but not a fan of Mercilus; he seems like a bit of a tweener to me but I'll admit to not knowing to much about him. I do know his size is comparable to LB C Upshaw.

Mercilus:

Height / Weight:

6-4 / 265

Courtney:

Height / Weight:

6-2 / 265

The reason behind the Mercilus pick is that he's an OLB and DE, Rotation with the Kraken, Johnson, Applewhite (hope he stays), would be the Idea. Or he could stay at the OLB spot, we need one anyway.

When I decided to go DE/OLB Instead of DT first, I was thinking of that Pass Rush need. I have another draft with the same trade back scenario except I'd take Devon Still with the #17 pick, and then Chase minnifield with the 21st pick, everything else is the same though.

    • I honestly think this coming season is his make or break year. I have noticed some press conferences where Dan and Dave have made some interesting comments when asked about bryces future and upcoming contract and they've basically said they're not thinking about that or factoring it in at all.  Hopefully he continues to improve, that is our best bet.   The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they have already start preparing if he doesn't make another jump this year. The thing that have made me wonder, while doing some detective work.  The Redshirt freshman from South Carolina, Lanorris Sellers.  He has crazy potential and improved greatly throughout the season last year.  I saw we had 11 south carolina players in for our top 30s including 5 or 6 that were expected to go undrafted.  It's a bit of a conspiracy theory but could they already be doing a lot of research on Sellers by talking to his teammates.  Again, I'm not a Bryce hater and I think the best option is he continues to make a jump this season.  It's just something that has stood out to me.
    • AT cant' get open either.  He is just a savvy old guy eating on up all the slot reps.  The fact he seperate and run lower the entire ceiling of a Bryce Young O.  As does the fact we get below league average production out of the backfield in the pass game when we go to it.  since the moment we drafted Bryce, I have banged the drum slot WR, rec RB, and TE would be the most important things we could do to build around Bryce.  We have done basically the polar opposite.  It's why I call the Tepper era random parts. 
    • yeah...very favorable remarks from what i've heard.  seems everyone was also very surprised with the TMac pick.  that video was funny "he lied to my face"
