MadDog49er Big 150 Board | Page 5

MadDog49er · 2018-03-09T08:27:24-08:00

The combine has come and gone, and now we are in full swing with campus Pro Day workouts. It is an exciting time for young men as they try to impress scouts, coaches and GMs. This is my first installment of my projected draft board. It will increase to 256 by the end of this month when I drop a full draft. This board is NOT a mock draft since there will be a million trades that change teams draft positioning and player needs. It is a projection of where I think the player will be drafted, a ballpark estimate. Ex: I have Josh Allen going at #1 and Sam Darnold going at #4. I project a trade up by some team to pick Darnold. Of course, the closer to the number one pick, the more it looks like a mock draft. Will Roquan Smith go to the Niners at 9? I am not sure, but I think he is going somewhere in that area. This is also NOT a best player board. I will post my best board in the next few weeks. As always, I will do some magic tricks with my Excel spreadsheets numbers, players at the wrong school, positional errors, and spelling errors. If you see Jash Rosens, LB from Arkansas, I have had worse moments. Let me know where I goofed. As always, I will provide a rationale of why I have some player projected way earlier than expected and why some seem way lower than expected. I am sure Kolton Miller and Shaq Griffin will raise eyebrows.

Ridley is probably going to be my number one graded WR, even though his combine was not very good. The ability to run clean routes to get open trumps anything in the NFL.

Cooper Kupp was ranked as the 87th most physically talented WR prospect using the SPARQ analysis, But, his football IQ is off the charts, and that is why I had him in my personal draft last year in the 3rd round, and paid off. He simply gets open. Ridley's numbers are even worse than Kupp's, but I still think he finds a way to get it done at the next level.

Hi MadDog,
You said that you don't like this TE class.

Don't you like even Goedert and Gesicki?

He probably just means the overall depth of the TE class as a whole. Doesn't mean he doesn't like a couple guys.

I have watched about 4 games on Youtube this year of Neal. Just search through Jacksonville State football. Just have to zap through the snaps and pass the offense for each game.

I haven't finished my final ranking of the TE class, but you are right on my thoughts. Not an inspiring group, overall.

Hey MadDog,

Why isn't Carlton Davis the best cornerback in the draft?

Thanks!

With the free agent acquisitions, we are beginning to put ourselves in a position to draft BPA which will most likely be an edge rusher or LB.

Edge Rusher makes the most sense. It's the most expensive position to replace via FA other than FQB.

He might be the best corner in this draft. I just don't think he will be drafted first. His combine performance didn't elevate him

For me, the top priority is a team leader, or captain, on defense. That is why I think Smith is the pick. We need help at ILB and on the edge.and feel confident the team will make selections to improve these areas.

A few words to describe the 2018 NFL Draft Safety class: dreadful, depressing, uninspiring.

Glad to keep Jimmie as great insurance and to play him in special packages/rotation.

I think the Niners end up drafting Fitzpatrick. Got a feeling he will be on the board at 9. He is really, really good. Clearly above the other guys.

MD so would he start Day 1 at Safety ?
