I guess you want either ODB or Lee, I prefer Beckham, but wouldn't hate Lee, although there may be a better option like Cooks at #18. Round 2 is early for Moncrief. If you want another receiver at #49 Davante Adams or Matthews might fall, but I wouldn't count on it. There are so many good WRs, a couple will fall, in rd 2 and 3, and hopefully the Jets can reap the benefits. ASJ having surgery will push his stock down, and would be a steal in Rd 3. Jones is an incredible player, I like his game. I'm a big James White fan, he was second fiddle to Gordon, who is going to be a terrific NFL RB. White will never be a feature back, but can be a solid complimentary back in the NFL. Good power, vision and excellent hands. For a smaller back, 5'9", he plays bigger. I could see a team like the Giants drafting White. Scholfield has always impressed me in the Big Ten, I've likedMichigan O-lineman for quite a while. His Senior Bowl week proved against very solid competition, he can hold his own. I think he will be a better OG than a RT. Like your FA, signings, I'd love Byrd, but he may scare Idzik and be too pricey.
I think this is a pretty good draft. Like WW, there are other guys I'd prefer over Moncrief, but he's not a bad choice. I'm not sure how Larry Webster will be at OLB... he's really long and a little awkward, though he is very quick moving forward. He looks more like a DE to me. Really like the Christian Jones and James White picks... I have White ranked as my #4 running back in the draft (posted in the 'Draft Websites' thread). ASJ and Fiedorowicz can add both blocking and reliable targets within 20 yards. Loston is a nice pickup at safety. Has good help skills in coverage. I don't know anything about Jackson, and I've always felt like drafting a punter is kind of a throwaway pick, but if you can get an extra 3 or 4 yards of field position on every drive by drafting a guy, well that's more contribution than most 7th-rounders I guess. I'd just rather have another shot at an impact guy. JMO. Nice draft.
Well thought out. ASJ would be a steal in the 3rd!!! Dont think he will slip that far personally though. Moncrief is a stretch and would rather take Robinson/Adams/Matthews/Landry if they are still on the board there. Really like that Loston pick in the 3rd! Love cutting Nacho and Holmes makes too much sense. Re-Adjusting Cro is the way to go as well IMO. I'm not high on Tate.. I would rather have Sanders for less money. Avant is interesting because he knows MM system very well, I can see him getting a PTO. Byrd and Griffin would be a dream off season but i think Idzik will be shrude and not want to get back into the hole Tanne left.
