Stubby N BY Second to last NFL First Round Mock Draft with trades and a few suprises

I think Foster drops due to medical concerns.

Interesting take. Here are my comments on some surprises if you wanted feedback.

9.Cincinnati Bengals: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford (would expect to go higher)

11.New Orleans Saints: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan (seems too rich for a player that you are banking on potential versus college production)

12.New York Jets (from Cleveland): Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State (would be shocked if this low unless questionable medicals)

18.Tennessee Titans: Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut (another shock because of measurables versus production)

22.Miami Dolphins: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee (this would be a major steal for the Dolphins)

Thank you for this feedback

i like the trade down to grab hooker. Guessing we came away with a 2nd? would love to grab Charles Harris and Forrest Lamp in the early 2nd.

Nice job!
If it played out like this, I'd seriously trade back up to the 18-22 range and pick up Derek Barnett. 😎

I think Solomon Thomas stock comes down to earth on draft day as he is a tweeter and before the UNC game, basically a mid round player/pick.

Taco Charlton will be over drafted IMO

I have been thinking for a while about getting 2 trades done early to get Cleveland involved. I know they want Trubisky, but might not be willing to trade enough assets to get to number 2. So perhaps we trade down to 4 with Jacksonville, basically threatening Jacksonville that if they don't trade with us, then we'll trade with the Panthers, and Fournette won't be there for them at #4. So once we've traded down with Jacksonville, and most likely the Bears draft someone on D, then we talk to the Browns about trading up to #4 to land their guy Trubisky. Moving up to #4 would cost less for them in trade, and it is a more reasonable spot for Trubisky to go.

We could still net Clevelands #12 pick this year, along with the 1st pick in the 2nd round, and two 2nd round picks in 2018. Not sure what it would cost the Jags to move from 4 to 2, but most likely their 2nd round pick this year? So we could slide to 12, but net the 1st pick in the 2nd round this year from Cleveland + Carolinas 2nd round pick this year. So basically sliding down 10 spots would net us 2 extra 2nds this year, and 2 extra 2nds next year. A move like this could give us great ammo in our rebuild, and I could see someone good being there for us at 12, like Barnett or Foster, or some how somone good might slide like Lattimore-Hooker- or Adams? MOst likely those 3 are gone, but strange thins happen, and if one of those 3 are there, then I'd be doing back flips.
