Group Consensus Mock - Rd 1 Winner Rashaan Evans

[JLambert58]

Ok, here we go for Round 1.  Apologies if I left your guy off.  In some cases, if a player is not on the board, I decided that the consensus of all the mocks I looked at had him off the board by #28.  Landry falls in this mock as do a few CBs, the two QBs and Moore the WR.  Thanks for voting!

I'll leave this up for 24-48 hours and then on to Round 2.

Steelers would pick Evans here even if I wouldn’t personally.

Who would you pick?  The point of this is not to decide who they should/would pick, but who each person prefers in this spot.

I really can’t see them passing on Harold Landry if he is there.  Too much value even if Evan is on the board.

Honestly and sadly Evans and Vander Esch will most likely be gone by then.  Evans is top scheme diverse and his physicality is a plus.  Vander Esch is a smooth athlete with the sideline to sideline ability teams like.  Too many teams ahead of us have needs for MLB (Saints, Dolphins, Ravens, Bengals) and I have a feeling those two guys are coveted by those teams.

So who you got?

[Armsteeld2]

I went Evans but if he weren’t listed id go with Jaire Alexander.  Lockdown type CB with great ball skills.

I think it could go either way.  One or both could easily be gone, and then again, the ILB historically isn't a big round 1 grab, so I wouldn't be shocked if one or both made it to #28.  (they both have issues)

Agreed.  There are no MLBs in this class who are flawless. Both of their flaws are coaching issues and not physical deficiencies.

Agreed but I am a little concerned about Evans' groin issues.   Hopefully if he is the guy, they can get it sorted out before the season.starts.

Am I the only one who thinks Landry carriers more value than Evan and LVE not taking team need into account? Strictly from a BPA point I would think more would be on board with Landry.

[JLambert58]

I'm going to need some serious help with 2nd round and beyond.  Please contribute names of guys you think should be going in Day 2.  Thanks in advance.

Went with Evans, and its a no-brainer if he's there IMO. However I'm 110% convinced either Cinci, Dallas or New England will be taking him ahead of us.

Evans, yes has some injury history but his versatility, athleticism and physicality sets him over the top for me.

We have a similar player to Landry in Keion Adams.  Landry is taller but they both struggle versus the run.  Both have great bend and the ability to dip under OTs.  Both are quick off the LOS.  Both use their hands well.  

It’s closer than many think but I’d go Evans over Landry due to physicality.  I want my LBs to be bullies and intimidate offensive players.  

[JustPlainNasty]

I picked Evans but I think it would be a much better exercise if we excluded Landry, Evans, LVE and perhaps Oliver. I know, pain in the ...
