I'd rather Humphries/Clemmings in the second. Other than that, I like it. Doubt Orchard lasts till the third though.
I would rather petty or hundley then grayson(specifically Petty) but I would be ok taking cooper/white (assuming QBs are gone)
to be quite honest I will trust in the new regime, so whoever they pick im going to assume it was the best pick they could make... the only thing that would really disappoint me is if they did not take a QB in the top 3 rounds.
What happened? I'm busy packing to move and don't have time to search the net for draft pick news. I barely have time to read and post here, but have to get my daily fix. LOL Thanks in advance.
My Grade A Jets mock: Round 1 - Amari Cooper WR Round 2 - Cedric Ogbuehi OT Round 3 - TJ Yeldon RB Round 4 - Brett Hundley QB Round 7 - Ifo Ekpre Olomu CB Round 7 - Max Valles OLB
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...x4DYBg&usg=AFQjCNEhJ_OqMf1EvBfrwPPzVcz0wYZP1w So many are overvaluing this Guy, even before the stress fracture, very limited experience.
Like Deerow84, I would prefer getting an OLB earlier, but can't complain about Cooper in the 1st, and if Obguehi is as good a prospect as some think, then I can't complain about him either. I loved Yeldon his freshman year, but I haven't heard nearly as much about him the last year or so, and haven't seen Alabama play this year. With so many other good backs in the draft, this might be the place where I'd take an OLB over Yeldon. It would depend upon who is still available and if I had him rated on a par (or higher) with Yeldon. Yeldon would be a very good addition, and we definitely need a RB with some speed who is a good receiver. I'm not sure if that's Yeldon, however, as I haven't had time to really research many of the draft prospects this year. Olomu would be a huge steal in the 7th round. I'll be shocked beyond words if he falls that far, even if he only projects as a slot CB or nickel back. He's just too good.
Thanks again. Yeah, based on what little I've read about him, it seems that those who really like him are valuing him on his athleticism and Combine-like measurements rather than his actual play/production.
My first exposure to Clemmings, where I really watched him, was at the Senior Bowl. He was very unimpressive in the practices. I thought he was going to be a huge bust. When I then went back and watched a couple Pitt games that were on my DVR stash he was a monster. Honestly, he will drive a defender out of the hole better than anyone else in the draft, even Flowers. Clemmings' main problem is his kickslide is awful. Just terrible. For a guy who is championed for his athleticism, he is really bad at this core trait of a tackle. I'm not savvy enough to know if that can be fixed by coaching/experience, but really outside that one (major) thing he's a really good tackle prospect. JMO.
I want a punter in the 7th. Instead of Johnson in the 7th, I would draft Hunter Mullins out of UAB. We need a punter and UAB football players need a reason to cheer after the president got rid of football.
I agree. Keep in mind this is a Grade A mock. I don't think Amari will stay until #6 too. The reason why I think in the best case scenario, Ifo Ekpre will make it to the 6th or 7th round is because of his injury and size. When it comes to the depth players, teams really like to get healthy players to come in and compete right away. Holding onto a depth player who might take a while to heal is sacrificing valuable space for a non-essential guy. His frame is rather small too (which doesn't concern me personally) but might concern other teams.
Everyone thought Colvin who had the exact same situation last year was going in the 7th and he went 3rd. I'd expect the same for Ifo.
4/25/15: A few months ago Ekpre-Olomu was in the running to be the top ranked corner, but then he suffered a knee tear during bowl practice before Oregon's game against Florida State. It was said to be a torn ACL, but in speaking with team sources, they say the knee injury was much worse and was more along the lines of Marcus Lattimore or Willis McGahee rather than a simple ACL tear like the one suffered by Georgia running back Todd Gurley or Texas A&M offensive tackle Cedric Ogbuehi. Sources say that some teams have Ekpre-Olomu in their undrafted free agent board, and there were some that were questioning if he would ever play again.
