Well everyone the combine is done and it’s time for my first mock draft of the year. I do think the Jets will be active in the first round as JD will look to add depth and starters. This draft is how I think it will go down not how I want it to to go. 1. Bears - Williams QB 2. Commanders - Maye QB 3. **Trade** Falcons - Daniels QB 4. Cardinals- Harrison WR 5. Chargers - Nabers WR 6. Giants - Odunze WR 7. Titans - Bowers TE 8. **Trade** Patriots - McCarthy QB 9. Bears - Alt LT 10. **Trade** Raiders - Penix QB 11. Vikings - Nix QB 12. Broncos - Turner DE 13. **Trade** Jets - Fuaga RT 14. Saints - Arnold CB 15. Colts - Fashanu OT 16. Seahawks - Verse DE 17. Jaguars - Thomas Jr WR 18. Bengals - Latham OT 19. Rams - Mitchell CB 20. Stealers- Mims OT 21. Dolphins- Murphy DL 22. Eagles- Powers C 23. Texans - Cooper LB 24. Cowboys- Guyton OT 25. Packers - Fuatanu OT 26. Bucs- Robinson DE 27. Cardinals- McKinstry CB 28. Bills- Wiggins CB 29. Lions- DeJean DB 30. Ravens- Newton DL 31. 49ers- Coleman WR 32. Chiefs- Worthy WR Jets pick up a 2nd round pick with a trade from 10 to 13. Although I would have preferred they take Brian Thomas at 13 they go with in my opinion the second best OT in the draft. Fuaga is by far the best RT option and hopefully the jets can land a LT like Smith in free agency to fill the void.
I also like Fuaga. I just don't want the Jets to draft Bowers. My scenario would be taking Keon Coleman to pair with Garrett. I don't know where Coleman is scheduled to go but that would be great for Rogers. Then draft some offensive linemen in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
I have serious doubts that McCarthy goes in the first round. I know there’s a lot of smoke right now about it, but it just doesn’t make sense. The dudes thrown minimal passes, it’s not like he was a guru at the LOS, he’s not anywhere near as fast on the field as he’ll time and he’s pretty thin. I also never really saw any sort of elite arm strength. He projects as a decent backup that might have a Case Keenum 2017 year here or there.
I’m not very high on JJ either but there are some needy teams out there. I just feel like most QBs they get over drafted all the time. He’s a lock to be a first rounder even though imo he’s got day 2 talent
This would be nice if the draft fell this way. Someone always reaches for a Q/B as it such a cruical position. I also agree that Bowers will be gone before Pick 10, so a trade down and an O/T - with that extra pick - would be great to see
