Valhalla Mock Draft: 49ers on the Clock (#31)

If love were still available at this pick, I would feel very confident in betting that New England trades this pick.

I went with Epenesa, I'm not sure what to think of a BB and Love pairing. In reality I don't see Love being available at 23.

I don't think BB is someone who is gonna sit through developing a QB.  Just a hunch on this one.

There's that as well and I think Epenesa fits the New England defense to a T. Which is why I went with him.

I agree with the others that Bill will pass on drafting Love.  The Patriots need a QB who can start this year...Love ain't that guy.  I had to make him an option because I know people will vote for him, but I don't see him going here.

This where Epenesa makes the most sense. I like his game. Hated how he dominated against the Gophers, seems like a good fit for Bilichick’s defense.

My guess is that the Patriots will probably end up with Scam Newton for 2020 and they probably won't draft a QB in the first, but it just makes sense to get one sooner rather than later.  I went with Love even though I doubt it's what BB will end up doing.

Cam Newton being in NE would be a match made in hell.  Newton isn't anywhere near disciplined enough to be able to live under Bill.  Cam will end up in LA with the Chargers.

You're probably right but the Patriots don't have too many choices left this late in the game.  I was thinking Newton would be a better choice than a guy like Jameis Winston.  It's hard to know what they are thinking unless one of their backups suddenly became very good in the offseason.

I think the Patriots are perfectly content with rolling out Stidham this year.

The 'Aint's going marching in....oh, the 'Aint's are on the clock...

[VikeManDan]

Went with Murray.

[swede700]

Back on the clock again, we'll run this one throughout the weekend and then try to get through as many of the rest as we can next week before Thursday night.

[VikeManDan]

An FYI, to everyone, that we took Gladney at 22.

This was between Ruiz and YGM for me. I went with the pick that can better help our QB.

I went Mims.
