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 don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
