Bobby816 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 So this mock is more based on what we've heard Macc say. Our past interest in players. Coaching staff. And Rumors. Resigns: Robby Anderson Henry Anderson Daryl Roberts Andre Roberts Jason Myers Mo Claiborne And other small Free Agents like Burnett, Luvu, Hewitt etc. Free Agency: Le'Veon Bell Donte Moncrief Roger Saffold Mitch Morse Dante Fowler Jr. Robert Quinn Bryce Callahan Johnathan Hankins Cole Beasley NFL Draft: We try and get teams to trade back but ultimately know wants to move up and pay the price, so we are forced to draft at 3. 1st: DK Metcalf (WR/Ole Miss) I know some don't like him this high but he's a guy that fits a need for us. Nowhere on the DLine is a need for us after adding Fowler, Quinn and Hankins. Metcalf has a very rare mix of size, speed, hands and body control. And I absolutely think he can fine tune his route running and agility. He's just is a physical freak that when he puts his mind to something he can achieve it. 3rd: Tytus Howard (OT/Alabama State) We keep Beachum around... but this is his last year with us. This pick allows us to groom Howard for a year to be our starting LT for 2020 and beyond. Can play as a swing OT and maybe even some RG or RT as a rookie if need be. 3rd (from NO): Daylon Mack (DT/Texas A&M) Very strong physical DT. Can rotate in with Hankins at NT, DT. More of a BPA pick here. 4th: Darrel Henderson (RB/Memphis) Didn't wow enough at the combine to push him into day 2. We choose him early with him lingering going into day 3 of the draft. Bell, Henderson and McGuire is a nice RB trio. 5th: Kendall Joseph (LB/Clemson) Depth LB behind Williamson and Lee. 7th: Lucas Denis (S/Boston College) Depth S behind Maye and Adams.

Only thing I question is if Darrell makes it to round 4. I think his 49 was slightly disappointing, but I think his stock may have even gone up given the disappointment with guys like Snell.

KodiakThunder Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hate DK at 3. No agility whatsoever. No way Macc wastes the 3rd pick on such a 1 dimensional reciever. Even tom brady put up better agility numbers then DK. If we gotnhim at 10 or later, sure.... but youre passing on WAY more complete players for a 1 trick pony.

rampantjet Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I like most of it but do we really need to sign Moncrief, Beasley, AND drafting DK? That seems like overkill, maybe just sign one and draft DK. 5 minutes ago, KodiakThunder said: Hate DK at 3. No agility whatsoever. No way Macc wastes the 3rd pick on such a 1 dimensional reciever.

I think people are way overreacting to those agility numbers. Lots of guys have run bad agilities and been good players. Josh Gordon was rumored to be awful at them so he didn't run them, Dez ran terrible agilities at his pro day, and you know you get the pro day bump on times. Most bigger heavier WR's don't even run them. Frankly i have no idea why he even ran them, if he just sat them out like a lot of guys no one would even be talking about it.

KodiakThunder Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 None of those guys were taken #3 overall. And Dez is already done at 29. Josh Gordons numbers were a rumor so thats not a valid argument. I reviewed his tapes, highlight reel catches with terrible route running. Id take him at 10, at 3, theres a lot better prospects to grab and Macc has shown to go BPA. He isnt gonna reach, especially if Williams, Bosa, or Allen are on the board. And at 3 one will def be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m reading into what Macc has said about giving Darnold weapons. And DK is the best weapon at WR this offseason. I think he will improve his agility at his pro day. He’s a physical freak and will do better. Watch even his route running coming in and out of breaks at the combine (and on game film) he has quickness. Another thing to add is that this isn’t a 6’ 190lb WR that needs to create this big time seperation to be good. 50/50 ballads aren’t 50/50 balls being 6’3.5” and 233lbd with great hands and speed.

Rockice_8 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Stopped reading after Metcalf in the first. That is such a bad pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Mac did say he wanted to get Darnold weapons. He did not say he was going to completely change the way he drafts to do so. Drafting DK there is terrible value. Theres 7 guys that are more complete and frankly better players that provide similar upside. Granting in the preface to your mock you never said you would take gm tendencies into account.... however this i can promose you: If Mac stays at #3 he will not be taking DK with that pick, not when Quinnen, Bosa or Allen will be available. Fight it all you want, but history agrees with me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is DK isn’t far off from a top 3-4 talent in this draft, so he’s not a huge reach. Edge is addressed in FA as well as DT. So neither are a need. When a legit WR is still a need come draft day in this mock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands though, he’s not an elite prospect. He’s an elite athlete with elite upside, but he’s raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given what we’ve done and what we need and what’s key to this team. He’s who I think could be the pick. For me though I do rank him higher than most. I’ll say Allen, Boss and Q are better talents. But DI is right after that for me. And we need talent around our QB. We don’t need Allen or Boss with adding 2 edges. And don’t need Q with adding Hankins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t question his ability to be a legitimate deep threat at the next level, but I do question how he’s going to be on a comeback route, etc. He has stiff hips and while he can open them up a bit, can he open them up enough? We’ll find out. I get why you took him in this mock btw, I’m talking in general though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakThunder Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Dk's agility stats compared to Julios... since the comparison was made... DK- 3 cone: 7.38 20 yd shuttle: 4.5 Julio Jones- 3 cone: 6.66 20 ys shuttle: 4.25 Yeaaaa.... not even close in terms of agility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
