I'm also under the assumption that they'll be no trading up, and no moving back. 18. WR. Brandin Cooks -After heavy consideration, I picked Cooks. He doesn't have just the size to play slot, but can match up on the outside as well. Had great production in college, and I feel he'll translate well to the pro game. Has good speed, and is tough as nails despite his size. 49. TE. Jace Amaro -I loved him a few months ago, then soured on him, and now I like him again. For some reason, I feel like he'll do well in the NFL. His blocking isn't great, but he gives effort on it. With more practice, I feel like he'll become adequate at blocking. His numbers may have been a bit inflated playing in that system, but you can't argue with the results. He runs clean routes, and has good size. I feel like worst case scenario, he turns into Dustin Keller. But at least we didn't burn a 1st round pick on him. I think his most realistic ceiling could be Greg Olsen, who was a 2nd round pick in 2007. 80. CB. Jean Stanley Baptiste -Big corner that Idzik might want. 104. WR. Brandon Coleman 6'6 and can run. Finished his college career with a whopping 19.2 yards per reception, which exhibits his big-play ability. I think he drops here just because of how deep this draft is at WR. Cooks and Coleman were the two WR's I picked to pair with Decker and Kerley. Stephen Hill is on borrowed time, he better watch out. 115. DE. Marcus Smith Projects as a 3-4 OLB. He'll need to improve his run blocking, but he has a lot of potential as a pass rusher at the moment. 137. S. Craig Loston Not sure if he falls to this spot, but he'd be good value here. LSU safety that's very vocal, and has leadership qualities. 154. QB. Aaron Murray Value pick. 195. P Tom Hornsey Best punter in the draft. About time the Jets filled this hole, yes? I know we have another 4 more picks, but this is what I have for now. Any thoughts?
I was with you for the first 4 even if that's early for Coleman. Kinda fell apart after that. Also...not doing comp picks?
Early 4th round pick is early for Coleman? Also, how did it fall apart after that? I didn't do every single pick the Jets have, just did these.
You are always going to have people saying that some people won't be available where you pick or that you picked someone way too early. IMO the mock looks pretty good, especially the first three picks, Loston and Hornsey. Not particularly hot on any of the others but wouldn't be horribly depressed if it went that way either.
