3-Round Mock w/Trades

[kccrow]

I didn't have time to do 7 rounds this year, but here's a bit of my thoughts for your enjoyment...

Tried to predict some trades as usual since mock drafts are 1) usually a pile of crap in the end anyhow, and 2) trying to predict them is fun.

I break out each team at the end, in case you're a lazy **** and only care about what I gave KC.

If you wonder why I have a guy falling it likely due to either 1) Medical or 2) There are issues that are related to criminal history, intangibles or some combination thereof.

Round 1
1. Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
Cleveland will stand pat at #1 and take the draft's premier edge defender and top player.
2. San Francisco 49ers - Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
With their new DC coming from the Pete Carroll school of defense, they'll look for a disruptive edge defender to pair with their 3 monster tackles along the front 4.
3. Chicago Bears - Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
The Bears could go several places, but they won't find Allen's combination of size, strength, and agility anywhere. He's a disruptive force as a 3-4 end, something the Bears desperately need.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars - Leonard Fournette, RB, Lousiana State
The Jags have to take pressure off of Bortles before he folds and they have to search for a new QB. Fournette could be Adrian Peterson Part II.
5. Arizona Cardinals (Predicted Trade w/TEN f/LAR) - DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson
The Cardinals reportedly love Watson and I think they'll make a move to get this kid. (2017 1st, 2nd, 2018 2nd)
6. New York Jets - Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
The Jets simply can't be stupid enough to move forward with the Hackenburg project. They like Trubisky, and they need Trubisky.
7. Los Angeles Chargers - Jamal Adams, SS/FS, Lousiana State
The Chargers missed Eric Weddle desperately so they'll look to replace him early.
8. Carolina Panthers - Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
The Panthers dropped off the map along with their CB play after releasing Josh Norman. They need to get a top-flight CB in this draft and they have a history taking guys from OSU.
9. Cincinnati Bengals - Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
The Bengals need a bunch on offense, but they can't go through another season with nothing for a pass rush. Take the edge defender early and worry about receiver and O-line later.
10. Buffalo Bills - Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
The Bills didn't re-sign Brown, so they need a new, energetic leader on the interior of their defense. If Foster checks out with whatever is going on with him, he's still going top 11.
11. New Orleans Saints - O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
The Saints experiment with Coby Fleener was a joke. They need to replace Jimmy Graham yet, and Howard has the skill set to be one of the best in the NFL.
12. Cleveland Browns (f/PHI) - Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State
The Browns' safeties were atrocious last year, so they'll look to get help here early. Hooker is a ballhawk that would instantly inject some playmaking ability into their defense.
13. Tennessee Titans (Predicted Trade w/ARZ) - Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
The Titans desperately need a #1 receiver, so it makes sense that they can trade down and still get one with a deep secondary class to fill their needs there later.
14. Philadelphia (f/MIN) - Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
Head Coach Doug Pederson is going to love this kid, no doubt. He has wiggle and home run ability, not to mention he's an outstanding receiving threat.
15. Denver Broncos (Predicted Trade w/IND) - Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
The Broncos offensive line was atrocious last season and they don't have a left tackle. I think they'll make the move to get ahead of Baltimore and draft this year's top LT prospect. (2017 1st, 3rd, 2018 4th)
16. Baltimore Ravens - Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
The Ravens need a #1 wideout to give Flacco any hope. While they have line issues, this class is weak on the outside, so it's fair to give Flacco weapons.
17. Washington Redskins - Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
The Redskins did alot to fill needs in free agency, so they have some room to be creative. Cook gives the 'Skins a feature back they desperately need.
18. Tennessee Titans - Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
It's no secret that Tennessee needs help at corner, it's just how early they will take one. Conley is a prototype at CB and was reliable and productive at OSU; he would step into the #1 role immediately.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
After relasing Verner, and having a 34-year-old Brent Grimes, the Bucs need to be forward looking in the defensive backfield. White is a premier cover-corner in the SEC and could step in and help that secondary immediately.
20. Indianapolis Colts (Predicted Trade w/DEN) - Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
If the Colts don't do more to protect Andrew Luck soon, they may not have a QB to worry about. The Colts are desparate for a RT, where Robinson could step in and be a monster right away.
21. Detroit Lions - Haason Reddick, OLB, Temple
The Lions need a strong side linebacker that can step in and provide some pass rush in their aggressive scheme. Reddick fits the bill perfectly.
22. Kansas City Chiefs (Predicted Trade w/MIA) - Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech
There's alot of smoke on the QB's and predictably so (obviously to get other players to fall), but they only tend to rise about half a round. Mahomes to KC is a perfect marriage and the Chiefs have the ammunition to make a move to get him. (2017 1st, 3rd)
23. New York Giants - David Njoku, TE, Miami
The Giants could use an upgrade at left tackle, but there aren't any studs in this year's class. I think they look to upgrade their awful TE situation for Eli.
24. Oakland Raiders - Zach Cunningham, OLB, Vanderbilt
The Raiders linebackers were atrocious last season and they need replacements for all three. They have to start somewhere, might as well be the top weakside player in the draft.
25. Houston Texans - Davis Webb, QB, California
The Texans need a QB after unloading Osweiler. They tend to favor tall QBs with big arms, so Webb is a perfect fit.
26. Seattle Seahawks - Garrett Bolles, OT, Utah
The 'Hawks will have to vett Bolles' troubled past, but if they feel he checks out, he could be a day 1 starter at LT. He's nasty and he's athletic, but he also comes with the "old man" tag and he has that history.
27. Miami Dolphins (Predicted Trade w/KC) - Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Cameron Wake and William Hayes are both over 30, so Miami needs to be thinking about their pass rush. Charlton is a good fit to develop as a 4-3 rush end.
28. Dallas Cowboys - Jabrill Peppers, SS, Michigan
Someone is going to take Peppers in round because of his athleticism, even if he has really average tape because he was a jack of all trades and master of none. The Cowboys need help at safety after letting Barry Church walk.
29. Green Bay Packers - Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
The Packers don't normally worry about drafting for need, but they may have to after losing Sam Shields and Micah Hyde. Awuzie is the type of fluid corner the Packers typically look for.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers - Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA
Although James Harrison may look like and think he can play forever, he wont, so the Steelers need to look for another pass rusher opposite Dupree. McKinley is a good overall player with solid strength and good bend on the corner.
31. Atlanta Falcons - Forrest Lamp, OT/OG, Western Kentucky
The Falcons signed Hugh Thornton, but he's spent three straight years going to IR and wasn't very good. Lamp gives the Falcons a potential pro-bowler at RG and a rock solid front line.
32. New Orleans Sains (f/NE) - John Ross, WR, Washington
Ross may be a speed demon but his stock isn't going to be as high as many think, in my opinion, because of his injury history. That said, the Saints need to replace Brandin Cooks and would get a similar style of receiver.

Round 2
33. Cleveland Browns - Josh Jones, SS, N.C. State
34. San Francisco 49ers - DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
35. Jacksonville Jaguars - Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
36. Chicago Bears - T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin
37. Los Angeles Rams - Obi Melifonwu, FS/SS, Connecticut
38. Los Angeles Chargers - Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana
39. New York Jets - Kevin King, CB, Washington
40. Carolina Panthers - Budda Baker, FS, Washington
41. Cincinnati Bengals - Jarrad Davis, ILB, Florida
42. New Orleans Saints - Adoree Jackson, CB, USC
43. Detroit Lions (Predicted Trade w/PHI) - Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State (2017 2nd, 4th, 2018 4th)
44. Buffalo Bills - Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
45. Tennessee Titans (Predicted 1st Rnd Trade f/ARZ) - Marcus Sanders-Williams, FS, Utah

47. Baltimore Ravens - Carl Lawson, DE/OLB, Auburn
48. Minnesota Vikings - Pat Elfein, OC, Ohio State

55. New York Giants - Raekwon McMillan, ILB, Ohio State
56. Oakland Raiders - Larry Ogunjobi, DT, Charlotte
57. Houston Texans - Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
58. Seattle Seahawks - Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama
59. Kansas City Chiefs - Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri
60. Dallas Cowboys - Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State
61. Green Bay Packers - Dion Dawkins, OT/OG, Temple
62. Pittsburgh Steelers - Curtis Samuel, RB/WR, Ohio State
63. Atlanta Falcons - Tarrell Basham, DE, Ohio
64. Carolina Panthers (f/NE) - Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee

Wow major props Crow. This would be a top scenario for me.

I have a bad feeling Mahomes is a top 12 pick

Really depends if it will be the rat race of 2011 or the calmer approach taken in 2014 with similar classes. I think its going to be closer to the 2014 approach myself, but we'll have to see. Like I've said previously, I have zero problem with KC using next year's first to get up there and get him in the 11-12 range. I just don't expect it to be necessary.

It's my thought that a team is going to go up there and snag the only guy that's proven anything on the field in terms of facing pressure and winning big-time football games in Watson, and the rest are going to fall relatively close to where they should.

I think the only teams you can go out and say "must have" a QB right now are the New York Jets and the Houston Texans. They have nothing, so they pretty much need to figure out a guy. So, between 6 and 25, there's alot of operating space.

Here's kind of some thoughts:

Cleveland did land Osweiler, they might give him a year and see what happens. They might not, but they don't appear happy about any of the prospects or they'd be taking one 1st overall. Would they trade up from 12 to get Trubisky? Maybe, but it doesn't seem to be the MO of the current regime.

San Francisco has their pile of has-beens, but they might be willing to sort them out. You look at Brian Hoyer, he's been pretty solid the past 2 seasons as a backup. They could ride him to next year if they want to improve the overall quality of the team before settling on a young QB.

Chicago went out and signed Glennon, so maybe they give him a shot before going out and getting someone else.

Jacksonville will give Bortles a shot under a new regime.

I think the Bills are giving Taylor a shot under a new regime.

After that little gauntlet, you really just have a "who's willing to go and get one of these guys to learn under an aging vet" before you get to Houston, who needs a guy.

I don't think the Chargers are serious in round 1, maybe after that sure. You're picking 7th, you have a bunch of holes, and you have a really good vet, not really any reason to take a QB there.

Same can be said for New Orleans at 11, way too many holes to fill. Do you sacrifice filling one of those holes for whenever is "after Brees?"

Those two teams, I just can't see it. Now you get to Arizona, I think they were a bit snakebit last year and they are better than that. They are a team that scares me a bit on who they will take. I think they love Watson and are going to make a move for him. If they don't love Watson, then it might just be Mahomes. Gotta be a bit more in the "NFL know" to have a solid grasp on that situation.

I think you at least make a move ahead of the Giants and Texans because either would be likely to grab him. The Texans might try to move up as well.

It'll be interesting, we just have to see what shakes out. If the Chiefs can't land a trade up to get the kid, I wouldn't cry about it. There's a lot of talent in this draft. I'd be pissed if they 1) didn't try or 2) passed on him.

[Chief Northman]

After Arizona, Washington would concern me in regards to nabbing a QBOTF.

Move to #15. Will cost a lot.

[The Franchise]

Kind of pissed about passing on Kamara. Understand the Harris pick though.

Yeah, you and I are on the same page with Kamara, but if Harris fell to that point, you'd really have to pull the trigger.

I'm not sure he's capable of going backwards and doing good work in coverage, but as a pure pass-rusher, he has tools on par with anyone in the class. You look at Crow's mock and you see Barnett in the top 10 and there's a chance (though not an excellent one), that Harris could be every bit as good a player.

Like I said, he'd need to make strides in space, but this is a scheme that's managed to hide Tamba Hali in coverage for years now. If Hali can give you credible skills in that role, Harris could do it as well. He'd simply be too strong a value to pass on there.

Chiefs are heavily invested in scouting the QBs, especially Mahomes and Kizer. They will likely try to nab one of the two given opportunity and price.

[O.city]

Fournette at 4 is a big blunder for the Jags. They're dumb so they'll prolly do it, but I'm not a fan

[DJ's left nut]

I think they'll take Adams if he's available.

Fournette would be that first step down Cassel road - where you just keep throwing picks at weapons designed to make a flawed quarterback look better. I mean, I guess you could call that Smith boulevard if you prefer but Cassel seems a more fair comparison.

If they take Fournette it will be almost exclusively to prop up a guy they should probably be looking for ways to move on from. It's the sign of a flawed decision-making process and would not bode well for that new front office.

Hey Crow.....if you weren't trading up for Mahomes and had to sit at 27....who would you have taken?

Takkarist McKinley or John Ross would look mighty tempting.

Takkarist McKinley at 27.
Nathan Peterman at 59.
Anthony Walker at 91.
Jarron Jones at 104.

or

Takkarist McKinley at 27.
DeShone Kizer at 33 (Trade w/CLE 59, 91, and 2018 3rd).
Walker at 104.

[Dante84]

Walker doesn't impress me
