rickyt31 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 TRADES: D.Lee -> <- Bengals 3rd. 4th R. Pick -> <- Falcons' 4th + 5th (For Dline or RB prospect) 3rd (Saints) + 2020 pick? -> <- Vikings' Trae Waynes (Zone coverage 53.7 vs Man 70.5) (4.3 speed) 3rd + 4th -> <- Eagles' 2nd (57th) DRAFT: 1. Josh Allen, 6'5 260lbs It's so hard to pass up on him. He's elite and I love the confidence he plays with. Cousins turned us down, we came away with Sam. Barr turned us down, and we're going to come away with Allen. On the Opposite side of him, we have a 25yr old Jenkins coming from 7 sacks + Mosely + Williamson. Nasty SEC group. 2 (Eagles). Erik McCoy, C, 6'4 303lbs We're going to need someone that can start early. After gaining 3rd round picks, we're able to jump the Saints& Chiefs for McCoy. Experienced Center/OG with 4.89 speed to get to the LB's (For Bell's patient style). 3(Bengals). Bobby Evans, OT, 6'4 312lbs Strong BPA move. I can see him developing behind Beachum but also moving to RT if Shell falls or moves to RG. The long term plan will be to turn him into Shell or Beachum's replacement. 5(Falcons). Ed Alexander, NT, 6'3 331lbs The run stuffer we need. He takes on double teams and moves pretty well on the line. He'll open up gaps for the LB's and other DE's. McLendon is a great leader, but we need to improve that terrible run defense. 6(Chi/Raiders). Jalin Moore, RB, 5'11 205lbs This dude was lighting it up before his injury. I was going to sneak Bryce Love with this pick, but I can see him going 5th. We've never avoided adding competition at the RB spot. A sleeper than could become a nice 1-2 Punch with Bell or 3 headed monster with them and McGuire. 7. Cole Tracy, K, 5'11 188lbs We let a Pro-Bowler walk & I doubt we're going to just hand Kat the job. CT is a record-setting Kicker. Even when Folks looked great, we continued to bring competition until we moved on. He's going to beat Kat for the job. KEY UDFA: JAZZ FERGUSON, Northwestern State / LSU I can see us taking a shot at him. He's someone that can develop into a starter. NOTES: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampantjet Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Not bad at all. Though you think Jazz goes undrafted? Someone is going to take a flier on a 6'5 guy who ran a 4.45 and jumped really well. Definitely building through the trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked around and didn't see his name mentioned much in any mocks. He could very well get drafted, but he wouldn't be the first in his situation to not get drafted. There were about 4 names I liked for potential UDFA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would have mocked Antonio Brown getting traded for a 3rd + 5th, no one would have believed me. Bengals had the 29th worst run defense and deal last vs the past. They missed out on key free agents that could help them and if the draft doesn't go there way, I think Macc could pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to challenge myself to see what I could do without trading back. If we can pull off another 3rd or even 4th round pick, I think we can still have a great draft without trading back our #3.

Lee is on the final year of his rookie contract and has a 10 mil option for next year. Most beat reporters have pegged his value at a 5th rounder. Also, if Cincy need a good run defense LB, then they definitely wouldn't want Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like how we viewed Barr as a 34 LB playing in 43 scheme, Lee could be in the same situation. As I'm typing this, they just released Burfit. if it isn't a 3rd, I'm betting on a 4th.

Maybe the NT was overkill depending on what we think of Fatukasi in that role but if we really want to transition into more of a 43, a 43 type DE would fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to think we spend the majority of our picks all on that area isn't realistic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loaded up in almost all the skill positions besides #2 CB spot. If he picks up another vet for that position, it only leaves the trenches as the spot that need day 1 starters or depth. Even going BPA in the middle rounds still leaves the trench top players on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just Crowder really under contract after this upcoming season. Robby has off the field issues, Enunwa injury issues. So I look for us to add a WR in the draft at a quality pick. Maybe 1 of our 3rd or the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
