Ozzy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Freaking mock computer simulators, did The Draft Network one. What a bunch of crap. First one was pretty standard but kind of crazy Austin Jackson would drop to the 2nd, much less John Simpson to the bottom of the 3rd. And Runyan being there in the 7th or Jordan Elliott in the 5th. Nothing amazing though but decent. 22 AJ Epenesa DE 25 Jeff Gladney CB 58 Austin Jackson OT 89 Lynn Bowden WR 105 John Simpson OG 132 Antonio Gandy-Golden WR 155 Jordan Elliott DT 201 Tanner Muse OLB/S 205 AJ Green CB 219 Jon Runyan OT/OG 249 Robert Windsor DT 253 Dele Harding LB But most ridiculous was the 2nd attempt, Tua dropping, Joe Burrow being the #12 pick and Isaiah Simmons being the #1 pick. Not to mention Wills dropping to the Vikings 1st round. Then stealing Uche in the 2nd who could be a Griffen clone with his effort and athletic ability. Getting great value at OL with guys who could play OT or OG in Driscoll and Throckmorton. Not to mention James Lynch in the 6th round when I think he has 1st or 2nd round potential. Yeah computers freaking suck man but would be great for the Vikings and they would cut Cousins after this season or in two years. 22 Tua Tagovailoa QB 25 Jedrick Wills OT 58 Josh Uche DE/OLB 89 Brandon Aiyuk WR 105 Amik Robertson CB 132 Jack Driscoll OT/OG 155 Myles Bryant CB 201 James Lynch DT/DE 205 Binjimen Victor WR 219 Calvin Throckmorton OT/OG 249 TJ Brunson LB 253 Jalen Elliott S Yeah I should stick to doing real human being selections like normal.

AWinfield26 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Here's my attempt: By the time 22 and 25 came around there were no CBs or OTs I felt were worth the pick so I traded back with both picks. I know this is probably unrealistic but I was proud of myself for a first attempt. Traded 22 to the Colts for 34, 75 and 122 Traded 25 to the Dolphins for 39 and 56 34. Erza Cleveland, OT Boise State 39. Jaylon Johnson, CB Utah 56. Justin Madubuike, DT Texas A&M 58. Tee Higgins, WR Clemson 75. Jalen Hurts, QB Oklahoma 89. Khalid Kareem, DE Notre Dame 105. Chase Claypool WR, Notre Dame 122. Brandon Jones S, Texas 132. Bryce Hall, CB UVA 155. Cordel Iwauagwa, G TCU 201. Benito Jones, DT Ole Miss 205. Trey Adams, OT Washington 219. Julian Blackmon, CB Utah 249. Bryce Huff, OLB Memphis 253. Daniel Thomas, S Auburn Edited March 28, 2020 by AWinfield26 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Vikings trade #22 + #105 for #34 & #44 25. Austin Jackson OT USC 34. A.J. Terrell CB Clemson 44. Tee Higgins WR Clemson 58. Matt Hennessy C Temple 89. Darnay Holmes CB UCLA 132. Davon Hamilton DT Ohio State Vikings get their starting LT (Jackson), CB (Terrell) and WR2 (Higgins)here. They also get a potential starting LG (Hennessy) and Slot CB\Returner (Holmes). With a backup NT in (Hamilton) who can do some dirty work.

battle2heaven Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Austin Jackson is not ready to start at left tackle immediately unfortunately. The dude is gifted with a lot of LT physical traits, but incredibly raw with technique and strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re plan is to keep reiff at LT, find another solution for guard, I’d draft Jackson knowing you’ll have to sit him at least year 1 before he can be productive....or else you’re gunna have a bad time.

Jackson has the better athletic scores and has better technique. Jones i think it going to have difficulties vs pure bull rush. I believe Jackson is younger as well. Jackson will eventually be a starting LT, whether it's day 1 or later. I think he could start day 1 on either side (if they want to move BO to LT, coupled with releasing Reiff). In this mock I added Hennessey who could develop into the starting LG. (BO\Hennessey\Bradbury\Sam\Jackson) or switch the tackles after one season, if they don't want a rookie left side in 1st season Edited March 29, 2020 by CriminalMind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that consistently in college and was fun to watch in those situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that consistently in college and was fun to watch in those situations. While I do see that with Jones, that could be partly due to the offense not snapping the ball under center and being in constant shot gun (DL react differently to that formation). I rather someone who has a better blend of both under center and shot gun. I also prefer the stay at home (bulk) OT (while sacrifing pull\run ability), as opposed to a pull\run OT (while sacrificing gerth and power). ... On 3rd and long (and RZ), the stay at home power OT should do better, since your less likely to be running the ball to take especial adv of LT pull blocks capability. My best OT attributes in order (reasonableness): 1) weight, 2) "power" (bench press #), 3) "technique", 4) quick feet (10 yard split), 5) arm length, 6) arm size, 7) pulling ability (40 yard time), 8) height Edited March 29, 2020 by CriminalMind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
