Let's just play a little, if for some odd reason both Qb's are off the board, or the coaches saw something they didn't like,and something they did later and felt that they could knock this draft out of the park by not selecting a Qb early, how would your draft look then? Here's mine.. Luke Kuechly Dwayne Allen Marcus Mcnutt Russell Wilson Devon Wylie
Trade back and acquire another second if possible 1) Fleener 2) RT/DE (BPA) 2) WR (BPA) 3) DE/RT (BPA whichever you didn't take in 2nd) 3) Osweiler 4) Tommy Streeter
Need to remember, this is not gonna be your traditional drop back style offense, it's gonna be real uptempo, conceptually, running as many plays as possible, movement, sharpness, footwork, ball handling, accuracy, arm strength, leadership, toughness, charisma, and uncanny ridiculous vision, who exactly in this draft does those things better than Russell Wilson not named Luck.?
Trade back a few spots if possible and pick up another 2nd 1. Nick Perry DE/ can play OLB in 3-4 or DE in 4-3...he's a great athlete, pass rusher and good all round 2. Kevin Zeitler OG/ Zeitler is supposed to be a extremely hard worker, has great feet and is physically a beast...Carey needs to be replaced and Jerry isn't very promising imo 2. Kirk Cousins QB/ I think he has the tools to be a good WC QB and would be a good pick up if we can get another 2nd rd pick 3. Juron Criner WR/ other than a unimpressive 40 time Criner is a complete WR. Big, strong, good hands and good after the catch 3. Ladarius Green TE/ I think this kid has TONS of potential to be great. I see him as the next Aaron Hernandez...he is a gifted athlete 4. Brandon Hardin FS/ we need to upgrade at safety position and Hardin is versatile. Fast, strong and can play well in coverage and run support
You know I wasn't sold on Osweiler until I watched the Gruden QB camp video. I'm kind of in love with him now (football wise). You're talking about a kid with a top NFL arm, pocket presence, the quick feet of a basketball player, serious leadership and athleticism. I honestly didn't know that he had such limited experience playing the QB position (College start wise) and I really see nowhere he can go but up.
FIFY I'd trade down and pick up: Harrison Smith Jared Crick(pure homerism on my part, but still not a bad player despite coming off a torn pec) McNutt Wilson BPA
Club level mock draft Weeden made it all the way to 42. Of course there is no trades though in the Club Level mock draft, but it seems like if it fell that way Miami could trade up if they really wanted to and not blow the 8th pick on a huge reach for Weeden.
I really like your picks, along with Wilson. If we went this route what would your solution to a pass rusher outside Wake be?
Do you know which teams have worked out Wilson? I read somewhere that not a single team has held a workout for Kellen Moore. Granted, even being so short, Wilson is a much better prospect.
Like the draft except Dwayne Allen will be there in the third and I'd presume russel will be there for our fourth rounder
I'm going to go with. Courtney Upshaw, DE, Alabama Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin Bruce Irvin, OLB, West Virginia Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State Chase Ford, TE, Miami Donnie Fletcher, CB, Boston College
Forcing myself to exclude Brandon Weeden and Ryan Tannehill...this one's as good as any... #008. DE Quinton Coples, North Carolina Comment: Not nearly the lazy player on the field that some say, dominated blockers in both phases, commanded extra attention, ridiculously strong with good burst off the ball and the ability to make the players around him better. #042. QB Russell Wilson, Wisconsin Comment: Don't take a chance trying to see how far down the board you can get him. Considering Luck and Griffin are already locked, and hypothesizing that Tannehill and Weeden are not destined for Miami, Wilson is the only other QB I predict to be a starter one day. #072. LB James-Michael Johnson, Nevada Comment: The Dolphins have been sniffing linebackers in Johnson's mold. This is the second best inside linebacker in the Draft outside of Luke Kuechly, and he's not as far from Kuechly in talent as many would think. #073. FS Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State Comment: Did not always take the right angles but very athletic with tremendous closing speed, leader on the defense, the ability to knock the hell out of players and to make early jumps on the football. #103. WR Devon 'Wiggles' Wylie, Fresno State Comment: Immediately takes over as punt returner, can take the top off a defense as well as be your electric RAC guy underneath the coverage, adding on top of that the ability to be quarterback-friendly because of ability to use uncommon vision to see the ball in flight and use uncommon quick feet to adjust to it. #145. TE Chase Ford, Miami (FL) Comment: Highly underrated player that should be yet another in a string of players that did not get the opportunities/coaching at The U that they will in the NFL. Watch his JUCO tape, watch his Shrine tape, and tell me The U didn't screw this one up. #196. OT Jeff Adams, Columbia Comment: Truly compelling athlete that notches all the boxes Mike Sherman wants to see from his offensive linemen in this zone-based system. Watched him play exceedingly well at Shrine practice against some good players. #215. WR Chris Owusu, Stanford Comment: Very smart player that is a phenomenal athlete at 6'0" and 196 lbs, running a 4.36 with a 40.5" vertical. Attacks the football in the air, can blow the top off a defense, runs smart and precise routes. Only reason you're getting him here is bad concussions. Roll the dice.
All I know is if we get a QB at 8, I'm all over Sanu in 2nd round. He catches everything, he is the anti Marshall.
1. Luke Kuechly 2. Chandler Jones 3. Chris Givens 3. Marvin Jones 4. Devon Wylie 5. Michael Egnew 6. Jeff Adams 7. Desmond Wynn Supplemental Draft: 1. Tyler Wislon
I don't agree that Allen will be available in the third..if he is he is the steal of the draft..late first early 2nd.
Zebrie would be a nice pick if you could get him that late, I think when it comes to Irvin you do have to match him up with the other players on the board when you pick, I just decided that offensive firepower takes precedent over passrusher
