oldman9er Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I would think it is asking for what you would WANT to do, in this predicament, and lacking alternatives but those given. This isn't about being right for bragging rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a gun to my head and forced to spit out a name it would be Smith. I think I'm changing my pick. I'm so convinced that teams want and need QBs and that Allen and Mayfield are good enough that someone will want to trade for them. Since that hasn't happened yet in this mock I'm going to guess it's because some team is sitting back and hoping that a QB falls to them. I'll spoil that plan and force them to trade with me by taking Allen or Mayfield. Hmmm. OK - Mayfield. The worst that happens is that I keep him for a year till next year when it's likely far fewer good QBs are coming out and then I'll recoup my investment with a very nice return.

In fact, when I make my mock draft, he may be my pick. This despite how much I love Smith and others like Fitzpatrick/James/Ward/etc. Honestly, if I pretend I'm the GM and I was in on the interviews at the combine (I'm the guy who asks the weird questions), and I have called his head coach in college, and collected stories via my scouts about his background, and how much he loves his mom, his friends are all good boys who just can't pull him away from the film room, where he spends all his free time, watching the best pass rushers and trying to learn their techniques, and that I believe he is the impact pass rusher he was in 2016, then yeah, I'm picking Landry. The problem is, I just don't know who the guy is. My only insight into his personality is a two minute interview with NFL Network at the combine. I think he really could be the guy. He has the tools. Does he have the drive? If our staff deems he does, then I definitely want the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us were on the same page that the choice was either Minkah or Smith and would be happy with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm changing my pick to Landry! Not that it matters of course lol. But having a choice between the three would be a very good problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fact is that if the draft went like this I'd be trying hard to trade down. Would I really take one of the QBs if I couldn't work out a trade? Probably not. But it would be tempting to call some other team's bluff by taking one and then see if they want to trade for it once they finally figure out the guy they want is gone. And I do think one of the top 4 of this year's group will be worth several draft picks next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 So where does Fitz play? Single high? or are we thinking a rotation where he plays anywhere he is needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine he's pushing Colbert for single high. But wouldn't be surprised if he was played in the slot right away too. Basically doing both. That's what I'd do. let Colbert be almost like a 3rd down safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Don't care for the Fitz pick at all. Smith, Edmunds ( I know, he was gone), Landry or trade down for me (Not an option in this case, I know). Jackson or Ward are nice, but not feeling the need as much as LB or Pass rusher (though I am not too excited about 1st round options, I think Landry could be pretty good). I am not afraid to draft for need. The only talent I would trade up for is Nelson. Otherwise, stay put or trade down. Just my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTMW78 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 If it were to play out like this teams will be calling. Would have gone with Landry in this case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some find it difficult to admit they need a QB...don't know why that is. Many teams (looking at you, Denver!) are picking where they are because they don't have a reliable QB. Sure glad we have ours now! We didn't last year at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be comfortable that he's going to stay the guy he was last year with the Vikings, but if he is, they are certainly viable playoff contenders. I still dont' think I would pick them over the Chargers, but given the never ending issues LA seems to have, that can flip pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
