Ruff's Penultimate Mock!


Ruff

Recommended Posts

I know I said that I did my last mock, but, it's just too damn fun to stop. This is my penultimate mock, meaning, I think this is going to be what closely resembles what happens the day of the Draft. There is no fake trades, no dream scenarios. I didn't pick people in a dream-scenario place.

1st Round, Pick #9 –Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State

I like the Punter pick. I feel like with all the hype about Joe Adams someone is going to take him in the 3rd.

Darron Thomas doesn't make sense. The only thing he has remotely in common with Cam is his skin color. He's tiny and doesn't run the ball well. He played in a spread but it wasn't really an option spread like cam. His arm is weak. I think the reality is Cam is one of a kind. You're not going to get anyone remotely close to him. You might as well develop the guys already on the roster. Jimmy is way better than Darron Thomas, it's not even close.

I'm skeptical of Tru. Nothing against him but Rashard Anderson ruined small school DBs for me.

I would like to see us pick up a late round safety. It won't happen because we just signed two but I'd love to send Sherrod Martin packing.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
