SunDevil Mock!

Well still at the office, so here is the only mock I'm going to do! Generally using CBS big board as a predictor of who is available (mixed in with some of my own opinions when I think they are way off) 1st round - CB Marshon Lattimore - Penciled him in before Brock getting cut. He is a shut down corner and although his injury history is worrisome, after his surgery he played and was near perfect. A Cornerback you can put on one side of the field and shut down whichever WR lines up against him. 2nd round - Edge Tim Williams - A pass rushing specialist that has the same build as Bruce Irvin, not quite as athletic but a much more polished football player with a great range of pass rush moves. 3rd round - WR Zay Jones - A high football character, quick twitch WR with probably the best hands in the draft. Oh yeah. 4th round - TE George Kittle - His NFL.com comparison is Charles Clay, or you could also compare him to Jordan Reed who KS liked to use. Kittle would be ideal in our West Coast offense who can be a receiver in the short outlet game or attacking the seams, and a fierce blocker to boot. 4th Round - RB Jeremy McNichols - An elusive back who is also a great receiver out of the backfield. Runs with patience and is a "wiggle" back. Ideal compliment to Hyde. 5th Round - QB Jerrod Evans - a QB with the phyiscal tools to make him a clone of Cam Newton. Has great arm strength and release, and exhibits a nice touch on deeper passes. He is a project though so he'll be stashed while we start FA QBs. 5th round - DE Hunter Dimmick - an ideal strong side end for our new defense, i dont understand why he is being so overlooked. 6th round - OLB Ejuan Price - An undersized but extremely productive pass rusher. I say he is worth switching to OLB as a project 6th round - LB Samson Ebukam - I think in the late rounds you have to look for guys that can be gems. Sometimes those are guys with very unique backgrounds, and none is more unique then Ebukam who immigrated from Nigeria at age 9. 7th round - I don't know yet

Nice mock SunDevil. Of course, I think Hooker is the better pick at 2, but I wouldn't be upset with Latt.

Love the edge pick. Dimmick and Price - great late round picks!

A little more heavy on O than I'd prefer, but I can't argue the picks. Legit TE, Legit WR, Legit QB project, and an RB 2. Really nice value up and down.

Agreed. Would have no issues with this draft at all. Well done SunDevil!

Love the jones, McNichols, & price picks...not a fan of CB at two (trade down sure), can't see Williams getting drafted by lynch end of the day either.

Also like the Evans pick...I see him as a nice backup to groom. I think qb will be taken care of next season

Nice analysis. Williams has too many questions about his failed drug tests for Lynch to take him. Plenty of choices in Harris, Watt, Bowser or McKinley in the same area.

the not as athletic will hurt him at leo. I believe jordan willis is top 3 and very underrated when it comes to LEO. Yes that means better than Tak, Williams Harris, I believe hes better than thomas in this draft. But we will see

and why are people obsessed with getting a TE??? we have 4! one just got a 5 year deal, one just brought in, and two more that will fight for playing time. Howard is the only one that could get on the field for us. But that too would be a wasted pick

The Kittle pick

satisfied with the McNichols pick, but I wish it was Marlon Mack

Great mock!
