8 GM Post Combine Collaborative Mock Draft

The Vikings pick is open to those not already participating in the mock. First post wins.

No takers? Ok, any of the current mock GMs, feel free to make a selection for the Vikings.

Vikings take DeVante Parker!

Cleveland selects: OT, Brandon Scherff, Iowa

Very happy to land the best Olineman in the draft at 12.

Updated.. must say, all of the picks so far seem.. sensible to me.

Agreed...solid so far.

So after much thought,
The New Orleans Saints select
La'el Collins
OG LSU

Sorry Niner fans, but with the 14th pick in the draft, the Miami Dolphins select Michigan St. CB Trae Waynes.



San Francisco is now on the clock.

Nice pick. I was going to suggest Waynes, Scherff, or Parker to the Vikings. The only surprise so far in my opinion is La'el Collins in the top 15. I think this scenario is pretty similar to what the 49ers will face in the actual draft with the top 4 pass rushers long gone, the top 3 WR's off the board, and Waynes gone as well.

Yeah I struggled making that pick. He's pretty versatile in terms of being able to play tackle or guard. The saints need some Oline held badly, and he was my 2nd rated o-lineman

Especially if the cannot agree with Evans on a pay-cut. They pay tons of $ to Grubbs and Evans.

sorry guys, my internet access is limited, have to give up.

I will be shocked if on the actual draft day, at 2-3 olinemen, Landon Collins and/or at least one unexpected pick aren't taken in the top 15, pushing a WR, DL, or Waynes down to us. (Or if one of the top two Olinemen is left, we could easily go that direction as well.)

The mocks here favor WR and DL because most on the board are focused on those positions as areas of need for the Niners. And fans react to combine numbers much more severely than NFL teams, (Minus the Al Davis Raiders), so guys like Beasley and Waynes, who were viewed as very likely to be available at 15 are now considered "sure" to be gone.

But the draft never falls in line with mocks and expectations completely. At least a couple of the top 10 type talents at positions of need should be available when we pick. But even given that, it will be no surprise if Baalke goes another direction anyway. So, it almost doesn't matter if they are there or not, because I will fall over in shock is Baalke actually picks someone fans and pundits have targeted as a "likely" pick.
