Ok gonna give this a shot. Revis gets traded to the Bucs for this years 2nd, 4th and next years first. 1. Ziggy Ansah OLB/DE Jordan is gone before our pick and the bills scoop up Jarvis jones, so I'm taking Ziggy here. Lets be real he may be a project but his potential is off the charts. Of course everybody wants a guy with immediate impact, but reality is we're not a playoff team next year. Who's says this kid can't come in and be a situational pass rusher and dominate. Then year two unleash him. 2. Tyler Wilson QB: tough as nails, has a good arm, and is a leader. If Petrino was coaching him this past year he's probably the first QB taken in the draft. Plus he lost his top 3 Wrs and his OL was shaky. Reality is we're gonna be competitive next year. Next year were probably gonna be picking at about the same spot were picking at this year. So lets stop thinking were gonna get Bridgewater. Don't want Johny football. He's fun to watch but don't want him as my QB. 2. Larry Warford G: gotta beef up the OL. Can we trust Vlad to be a starter? Can Colon stay healthy? Warfords the 3rd best guard in this draft. Solid all around G. 3. Travis Kelce TE: Easy pick here. Guys a baller. May have some character issues but who gives a damn. Plus lord knows we need a top notch TE. 4. Phillip Thomas S: Another position of need. Haven't seen him play, but what I've read is nothing but positives. 4. Quanterus Smith OLB: this guy was killing it before he got injured. Lets face it you can never have too many pass rushers, and we haven't had one since Abraham. Plus there's gotta be a reason why Barnes is already on his 3rd team. 5. Ray Graham RB: he may be a little on the small side, but reminds me a lot of Shady McCoy. Good value on him in the 5th. 6. Marcus Davis WR: I think we're gonna bring Braylon back on a one year deal. If we do our WR group would be solid. Davis is a physical freak who just needs to work on route running. Holmes also will be gone after this year. Kerley belongs in the slot. Hill/Davis/Kerley will be beastly. 7. Sean Renfree QB: gotta have 2 capable Qbs on your roster. Why not take a chance on this guy especially in the 7th. Doubt he'll be here for this pick. If he he is jump on it. Garrard is only gonna be here 1 year and Sanchez will be gone after this year. McElroy is a smart guy just hate his arm.
Love most of this draft. Was thinking of making a mock draft tonight, but I would have taken many of the same players (Warford, Kelce, Renfree). Not sure if I like taking two quarterbacks, but if Renfree is your last 7th rounder, it's not a big deal. Would spell the end of McElroy's Jet career. Just worry about Ansah. Think he's a better fit for the 4-3, but I have questions about all the passrushers besides Jordan at this stage.
The reason i picked Ansah is Jordan will be gone before our pick. Ziggy is big and athletic enough to play multiple positions. Think about this if we suck this coming up year Rex will be gone. Then who knows what defense we'll run after that. Could be a 4-3.
Renfree won't make it to the 7th round - I think he could be a good developmental QB. Not a fan of Wilson though
Again, can you guys state a reason for not liking Wilson. I don't like Nassib cause his deep ball sucks and he doesn't know how to throw a touch pass. Manuel is athletic but throws a lot of dump off passes, and makes a lot of mistakes in pressure situations. Plus it seems like he struggles to read a defense. Granted I like Geno, but how much are his numbers from the system he ran. If we ran a vertical style offense then I would want Bray in the 3rd. I would really want Wilson in the 3rd, but I don't think he'll make to us by then. If you like a guy then go get him. Don't anticipate the guy dropping.
With Wilson, I just don't like his decision-making on the field, he's too erratic for my tastes. I don't have much confidence in any of the QBs in this draft.
Ditto...but like the original poster tried, if Petrino could keep his zipper shut, Wilson might be a top three pick. Based on the scenario given, I like the entire draft until we draft a second QB in a poor QB draft.
I would really like this draft. I'm warming up to Wilson and Ziggy. Both of course require some development, but even if one turns into a gem, this draft could end up superb. Were you assuming Jarvis Jones off the board? would be interesting if they had to choose.
I love this draft. Kelce is gonna be real good in the NFL. He's extremely well rounded. Ansah is a combine warrior but I don't know if that'll translate well... We all saw how that worked with Gholston and we don't know how he'll play as a 3-4 OLB. I don't like taking two QBs with so many other holes on the roster.
I was assuming jones was gone, but I'm just having a hard time seeing his game translate to the nfl. I try not to go off workout numbers but a 4.9 at his size is concerning. I think he's a first rounder, but I think he's gonna drop. Wilson won't be forced to start. He could sit and watch garrard. If we picked Geno then there will be pressure to start. People need to realize the expectations are low goin into this year. We can take a chance on a Ziggy. In my opinion every Qb in this Qb in this draft has question marks. Just hope we get lucky and get the right one.
