New Mock w/ comp picks

[Lout]

You said that your top 5 picks will start for us easily? Cmon man.. on average an NFL team gets less than 1 starter (on opening day) from their draft class. We were lucky last season and came away with 4 starters on opening day, but I tell you that's extremely rare. We will be doing great to get 2 starters on opening day.

Lane Johnson has all the tools to be a LT in this league. (I am a diehard Sooner fan). He will not start over Gross day 1. I do like him as a prospect though.

I don't like dedicating our top 2 picks towards the Oline and I don't know enough about the rest of the players to critique. I love Sturgis in the 6th.

I meant could / potentially start. We have alot of holes on our team with questionable talent, so drafting starters wouldnt be that hard so long as you nail the pick.

If we draft Johnson, id assume we would cut Gross. Which would make Johnson start imo

After the QB, the lines are the most important. Until we have great lines I have no problem drafting big uglies the first 2 rounds.

They wouldn't Cut Gross if they drafted an OT at 14. They'd keep him at LT and use the young buck at RT, just like they did with Gross.

Not so sure about that with our cap problems.

Cap problems or not, unless it's a sure fire guy who can come in at LT. (Johnson is not sure thing) Then you give them a year at RT and see how they adjust to the NFL. You don't want your QB killed by having a complete turnstile at LT. Gross will restructure his deal and stay here for another 2-3 years.

No one is a sure thing.

With that said, any GM that drafts a guy in the 1st is gonna be confident in their scouting that he can come in and play atleast average right away.

OL is the easiest adjustment from college to the pros

I hope Gross restructures. If not we will draft his replacement imo

After the Senior Bowl practices and game Lane Johnson stock is starting to rise.

Really impressive to think that he has only played LT for 1 season!
