I was going to try running a mock with Baker Mayfield QB as my first round selection and see how the draft turned out. He was picked by the Giants at #2. So I went with what I thought was the best player available.
14: R1P14 WR CALVIN RIDLEY ALABAMA
Selecting a non Edge or CB in round one. I fear we put a lot of $$$ in our WR and not get the return we need. Adams might be one hit from a serious concussion, not sure when Nelson is going to loose that step, Cobb is not a number one.
45: R2P13 EDGE HAROLD LANDRY BOSTON COLLEGE
Had to select best value and one of the greatest needs.
76: R3P12 G BILLY PRICE OHIO STATE
I would be very surprised to find Price here during the draft, but what great value in the third. The only question spot on the OL would be RT and I believe Spriggs can hold down that spot until BB returns.
101: R3P37 TE JAYLEN SAMUELS NC STATE
Two TE were selected right before our pick, I was hoping that Penns Gesicki would have made it to this pick, Samuels is more running back but during the senior bowl, none of the LB could stay with him as a receiving back. Great option to move the chains.
116: R4P14 CB MIKE HUGHES UCF
A good player on a good team, position of need also great value.
152: R5P13 DL NATHAN SHEPHERD FORT HAYS STATE
Broke hand during senior bowl practice, but in practice was showing he belonged.
173: R5P34 TE IAN THOMAS INDIANA
Ian is not the fastest, but he uses his hands well, good value.
175: R5P36 CB TONY BROWN ALABAMA
A Silver-back Gorilla that would be a steal in the late 5th.
177: R5P38 RB JUSTIN JACKSON NORTHWESTERN
Not the top name, but hits all the measurable marks for TTs backs.
189: R6P12 C MASON COLE MICHIGAN
Too good to pass, depth at the interior.
232: R7P14 EDGE FRED WARNER BYU
Good value, long length, needs to add a few pounds to anchor the edge.
239: R7P21 WR DAURICE FOUNTAIN NORTHERN IOWA
East West MVP, a seventh rounder that makes the 53.
Hope to get another chance to grab Baker in the first to see how that draft develops, if I do I will post it. Dub, Mark or anybody if you get the chance, pick Baker Mayfield in the first, would like to see how the draft develops for you.
Two TE's and two CB's! Depending on what happens in FA, that could be a very real scenario!
Curious...........Do you remember if Kylie Fitts was still on the board when you took Fred Warner?
If so, he might have been a better fit.........JMHO.
I like following these mock drafts. I think it's great to post as many names as possible to research as the Combine approaches!
Keep it up UWSP 88!
BTW............my son-in-law is a UWSP alum, and I worked with a fella by the name of Tim Naegli back in the 90's. Maybe you've heard of him?!
