This wouldn't have happened because some of the guys in your mock were taken earlier than where you picked them.
Correct.
Thats why its called a mock draft, and not "reality".
Yes players were drafted higher, but not so much higher that they were out of reach for us. Most of these players were available when we picked one time or another, had we wanted them.
Garoppolo was my biggest reach i believe. I said so at the time. he was my #2 QB behind Carr in the draft, and at the time of this mock draft, still most people had him going in the early third round.
I was arguing he was first round talent.
I even stated "Its highly unlikely Jimmy is around at this pick, but if he is, he has to be the choice. Anyone who knows me knows i have been extremely high on this kid for a LONG time. He becomes the backup QB, and in two years time,
likely nets first round compensation in trade value. If he is gone i could see harbs having freedom to select his QB here, especially after picking up an extra pick from the first round trade."
What sort of comp are the pats looking for for Garoppolo these days?
I still say it was a solid mock. We cant all be, and im certainly not Maddog for christ sakes. Give me a little credit at least....
