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.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
