Jreff22 mock V2.0

jreff22 · 2016-01-09T14:20:24-08:00

A few things to note... I do expect a big splash in FA this year. Two names that keep coming up are Mack and Wilkerson, I think both will be targeted heavily. If we land Hue, our credibility goes back up immediately. So for this mock I will put down both Mack and Wilkerson being off season acquisitions. I'm also wanting to resign/extend both Boone and Williams to the roster, with the idea the AD comes back ready to go. With those moves in mind, we have a starting OL ready to go. We also add the last missing piece to the DL left vacant by Justin. The only position that still needs addressing is OLB. I do have some players in the mock but a proven vet will be needed once Brooks is released. Regarding the Cleveland pick and Dallas... The more I look at who picks before us and the value of each player, I expect Bosa to be the pick. Cleveland has been a disaster at picking QB's for years now. The safe smart pick is with Bosa and I think Mr. Analytics will agree with me. I also expect Johnny Football to land in Dallas. With Jaylon being hurt and Nkemdiche getting popped with drugs, both are now out of the top 10 IMO. I expect Tunsil to go first and Stanley to go prior to our pick. With all four being either drafted or downgraded, Goff is the best value and smartest pick given our current situation. I do have a few trades included this in mock. Sitting back on late picks would be a waste this year. It's time for Trent to package them together and make some deals. I'm doing this mock at work today so I will not be able to get into great detail about each player. But we do have the annual "hurt" player for Trent lol 1. Jared Goff*, QB, California Height: 6-4. Weight: 210. Obvious pick and talent. SITS on the bench for 1-2 years learning the pro system and allowing the team to get better. 2. Will Fuller*, WR, Notre Dame Height: 6-0. Weight: 184. Deep threat that can score almost anywhere on the field. Intelligent kid that should start very quickly. Puts Patton and Ellington on notice. Might be hard to get him here. 3. Tyler Matakevich, ILB, Temple Height: 6-1. Weight: 230. Hard nosed thumper, the kid played very well this year. Needs to learn patience but his arrow is pointing up. Insurance for Hodges and Bowman but more importantly makes Wilhoite very expendable. 3. (Traded 4th and 5th) Kyle Murphy, OT, Stanford Height: 6-7. Weight: 298. Remember Pears? Goodbye Pears! Sits for a year and gets stronger. Offers better insurance in the event AD goes down again. 4. (Traded 5, 6th, and 6th) Eric Murray, CB, Minnesota Height: 6-0. Weight: 194. Nothing sexy about Murray but he can do everything and play in different coverage's. Not afraid to hit and adds another tool in the backfield. Brock isn't lighting the world on fire and the competition at CB will get better next year. 4. Comp Anthony Zettel, 3-4DE, Penn State Height: 6-4. Weight: 284. Tenacious player that needs time to develop his skill set. Wont start but should be a strong rotational player, will compete with TJE for a spot. He looks like Cowboy so...who knows lol 5. Yannick Ngakoue, 3-4OLB, Maryland Height: 6-2. Weight: 255. Pass rushing terror that is the prototypical tweener. Will need to brush up on his pass rushing skills but he put up respectable numbers this year, 13.5 sacks. 6. Comp Jimmy Bean, 3-4OLB, Oklahoma State Height: 6-5. Weight: 250. Major upside across the board but tore his ACL. 6. Comp D.J. Reader, NT, Clemson Height 6-3. Weight 325. Needed personal time away from football so there are some red flags. Depending on how he plays against Bama, his stock could raise quickly. With Williams holding down the position for a while, Reader wont be rushed to play. Would be a good pupil for Tomsula but that ship has sailed. If his heart and head are in it, he could develop into toilet clogger we've always wanted.

Yes we want to make a splash and I think we will to a certain degree but I just can't imagine us getting both Mack and Wilkerson.

Aside from that I do like your draft, I really hope Goff falls to us.

So let's take the least athletic of the top 3? I don't know I see lynch the best athlete of the top 3, more pro ready, and better arm... Of have to go with lynch over Goff

Both will need time to sit and learn. With an improved line the need for a super athletic QB will diminish.

Kap is a great athlete with a giant arm. Not helping him currently.

Nice mock! If we get Goff at 7, I'll be happy with the draft no matter how the rest of it goes. I like Fuller at lot too, but not sure if he's someone we'll target given we have Torrey Smith as a deep threat (Doctson/Boyd could be there).

The only pick I don't like is Matakevich - Bowman is solid against the run but weak against the pass right now and our linebacker group as a whole is terrible in coverage. Matakevich had 5 interceptions this year (went from 1 to 5 which is more a fluke like Te'o putting up 7 his senior year than anything in my opinion), but he's a limited athlete and undersized and will be a liability in coverage in the pros.

My ideal first 3 picks would be:
1. Jared Goff
2. Jaylon Smith
3. Kenny Lawler

Doubt Jaylon Smith lasts that long, but he could turn into the all-around ILB we've been missing. Lawler was Goff's best WR at Cal and has some untapped potential - he needs to put on weight, but has long arms and huge hands and can run.

this is not a knock on your mock, but people treat Goff like he's the second coming of Montana. He doesn't have half the praise luck did. s**t, Goff isn't even rated the best qb in the draft by most so called experts.

Lynch and kaep are to different qbs, kaep can't lead s**t. Keep has 0 touch, and can't read a d if his life depended on it. Lynch excels in leadership,can read a d and has touch.

Just took this off nfl.com about all top 3 qbs.....

So, to sum it up: If you're looking for an Andrew Luck or a Winston, you're not getting one here. That means that if you're drafting a QB high, you'll have to swallow hard and decide to take that chance.

in what world is lynch more pro ready than goff

lynch is the most raw qb of the top 3 but ya he does have strongest arm and highest upside

Goff is the last player I want at 7. I wanted Jaylon, Nke, Tunsil, or Stanley. With all of them probably being out of the picture, QB is next best-and that's Goff.

If Jaylon falls to the 2nd, i would take him or trade back up to get him. Jaylon is my first choice.

Wilkerson is the biggest asset added for pure pass rushing skill. Having the void left by Justin filled, helps the whole D function better.

Ngakoue is no slouch either. He is a little under sized but has put up impressive numbers:
12/03/2015 - 2015 ALL-BIG TEN FIRST TEAM (COACHES & MEDIA): DL Yannick Ngakoue, Maryland...Ngakoue became Maryland's single-season sack leader by posting 13.5 sacks in 2015, breaking a record that had been shared by Mark Duda (1982) and Bruce Palmer (1978). The junior ranks second in the nation with 1.13 sacks/g and is a member of the Ted Hendricks Award Watch List for the nation's top defensive end. - Maryland Football

Lynch was a late round pick so I'm not overly worried. It's still an area of concern but it's not as bad.
