THE DUKE Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 22 hours ago, Carson4MVP said: Completed my first mock draft on The Draft Network. How’d I do? 1. Joe Burrow - QB LSU 2. Kenneth Murray - LB OU 3. Matt Hennessy - IOL Temple 4. Isaiah Wilson - OT UGA 5. KJ Hill - WR OSU 6. Marlon Davidson - DL Auburn 7. Brian Cole - S Miss St It's hard to say you have too many players at one spot, but the ultimate upside of KJ Hill is Tyler Boyd, who we already have, and really only 1 slot WR gets significant reps. But as a 5th rd pick, there are worse things to get than good slot depth. I honestly think Kenneth Murray could slip to 33, as the evaluation period gets deeper, people are seeing he isn't as strong in coverage as his athleticism suggests he could be. Kind of a catch 22 for the Bengals though, he'll only fall if he struggles in pass coverage, and the Bengals really need a pass coverage LB.

When you take a guy in the 4th round or later, you're not generally overly concerned about the guys you have in front of them. You're just trying to find good players who can eventually contribute. There are enough injuries on an NFL team that eventually everyone is going to get playing time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Used Fanspeak today with Matt Miller's Bleacher Report Big Board. Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen went 28-29, so I went BPA at 33. Tough call between Denzel Mims and Jonah Jackson in rd 4, but I went with the beef up front 1: R1P1 QB JOE BURROW LSU 33: R2P1 S XAIVER MCKINNEY ALABAMA 65: R3P1 EDGE JOSH UCHE MICHIGAN 104: R4P1 G JONAH JACKSON OHIO STATE 147: R5P1 LB DAVID WOODWARD UTAH STATE 180: R6P1 OT JUSTIN HERRON WAKE FOREST 215: R7P1 K TYLER BASS GEORGIA SOUTHERN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a safety for most of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Pratt showed better coverage ability/skills than expected in the combine last year, but yeah, he was known as a good run defender coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson4MVP Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My 11 month old is sick, so I’m just sitting around making mocks.

Quartney Pearson - WR 6. Adam Trautman - TE 7. Carter Coughlin - DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevon Diggs in rd 2 would be a real nice value and makes Dre expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you have preferred? If we take one non-LB on defense, I think Uche is my favourite pick/position in that slot. Keep building on an already impressive pass rush, and make it our identity on defense. Also, the value there would be great. He can very easily go in the final third of the first.

Carson4MVP Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) D is my favorite. Any draft that we get Isaiah Wilson is going to be my favorite. Kids a beast at Run Blocking and I think he can be one of the best RTs in the NFL in the next couple years. Putting him at RT and Jonah at LT, hopefully we have our bookends for the next 10-12 years.

But DE is always an option to me, along with corner and offensive line. Maybe he'll be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
