Youre right. We're gonna select Coley Coreman. Cause we do exactly the opposite of what that fat duck say.
McKinney was good in the 2nd half of last year and is currently a starter. Covington showed some nice flashes. Cliett got injured at the very beginning of camp, so you can't judge him based on nothing.
Client was injured, so I am going to wait to write him off completely. OBie likes Keith Mumphery and has played him a lot on ST and as the backup to *all* of the receiver spots.
Cliett is not worthless. I saw him play a few games in Tampa (USF) - he seemed like a freak on the field. High motor.
McKinney played much better towards the end of the season and finished 3rd on the team in combined tackles despite missing 2 games. Agree about Hilliard and Mumphrey but Cliett was injured. Covington was a 6th round pick coming out of Rice, not sure what we expected out of him year 1 but think he showed some flashes.
Cliett was hurt, shouldnt count against him. And Hilliard was a 7th rounder, did you expect him to come out starting?
you can take these predictions to the bank 1. ESPN/NFL Network will go to a commercial during Texan's pick 2. A team will trade up to #21 and take Coleman/Doctson ahead of us
Yeah but I don't have a problem with that, I don't think it adds anything having to wait for the official announcement.
why wouldnt the Texans consider Treadwell if he falls.. There saying he plays just like Hopkins.. Why not have 2 Hopkins, 1 on each side and can get a fast WR later in the draft.
Kiper's final mock - Spoiler 1. Los Angeles Rams* Jared Goff, QB, California He's the top available quarterback in the draft, and he goes to a franchise that needs to finally make it work at this position. I'd be extremely surprised if the former Cal QB isn't the pick. Watch Goff's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Titans 2. Philadelphia Eagles* Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State We haven't seen a quarterback from the FCS go this high, but Wentz has a skill set that many teams love, and Philly got into the right place to take him. Watch Wentz's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Browns 3. San Diego Chargers Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss There is a lot of talk about whether this is the tackle that San Diego prefers, and also whether they could go for defense here. This is also a possible trade-up spot for a team that wants either the top running back or top offensive tackle. Prepare to be surprised. Watch Tunsil's highlights 4. Dallas Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State Dallas goes for the player it feels has star potential running behind that impressive offensive line. I'm not a huge fan of taking running backs this high, but I don't doubt Zeke can be a star. Watch Elliott's highlights 5. Jacksonville Jaguars Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State Ramsey could deal with some hiccups early on as a cornerback, but he is a tremendous talent who will help a defense that fell flat last year. Ramsey has star upside, no question. Watch Ramsey's highlights 6. Baltimore Ravens Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State If Dallas passes on Bosa, I suspect the Ravens will be thrilled to see him here at No. 6. Mr. McShay thinks he's the best player in the draft, and he'd be a great value here. Watch Bosa's highlights 7. San Francisco 49ers DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon This is simply too early to take a quarterback, and I think injury concerns will push Myles Jack beyond this point even though he's an obvious fit. They don't take Buckner because he's a former Oregon player, only because he's a great fit and a good value. Watch Buckner's highlights 8. Cleveland Browns* Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame Disclaimer: I think there's a pretty good chance we see a trade here. If Bosa was here, I could see him. If Elliott was here, same story. I'll put Stanley here, and I think he'd be a useful player for them, but I don't know if it'll stay this way. Watch Stanley's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Eagles 9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia In a draft where there's no perfect pass-rush prospect, Floyd has been a popular name as a potential top-10 pick over the last week. I can also see them targeting a cornerback here. Watch Floyd's highlights 10. New York Giants Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State The Giants get a much-needed starter at right tackle. I know Floyd has been in the discussion here, but in this scenario, he's off the board. Watch Conklin's highlights 11. Chicago Bears Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson The Bears get a productive pass-rusher for a fast-improving unit. They did a great job solidifying the linebacking corps in free agency, and Lawson helps them on the edge. Watch Lawson's highlights 12. New Orleans Saints Sheldon Rankins, DL, Louisville He's been a popular player in this slot, and I'm not changing anything for the final mock. Rankins can be an impact player in this scheme and will see plenty of the field in Year 1. Watch Rankins' highlights 13. Miami Dolphins* Myles Jack, LB, UCLA He's off some boards because of concerns about his knee, but Jack can't fall too far. He'd be a great fit here. The Dolphins have a clear need and could jump for this pick. Watch Jack's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Eagles 14. Oakland Raiders Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama He's ready to play, so Ragland can come in as a starter for what should be an improved defense. Other possibilities: The Dolphins take a safety and Jack could be in play here. Watch Ragland's highlights 15. Tennessee Titans* Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida Another team we have to keep an eye on for trade discussions. But if they stay put, they get a solid cover corner, which they clearly need, given their current roster. Wide receiver is also in play here. Watch Hargreaves' highlights | *Acquired in trade with Rams 16. Detroit Lions Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State The Lions get a tackle who can play right away on the right side and will challenge to be a long-term fix on the left side. Matthew Stafford got absolutely battered last season, particularly early on, and I think they should prioritize the O-line over wide receiver early. Watch Decker's highlights 17. Atlanta Falcons Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State I've heard the guy I have coming off the board at No. 20 linked here, but I'll go with Lee, who gives them a linebacker who can move like a safety. Watch Lee's highlights 18. Indianapolis Colts Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama A potential immediate starter, Kelly is the best center in the draft and will be a great partner to Andrew Luck. Watch Kelly's highlights 19. Buffalo Bills Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor They need another talented weapon in the passing game, and this is a little early for the next pass-rusher I'd have coming off the board. I know the Bills need defense, but Coleman would also fill a clear need. Watch Bills' highlights 20. New York Jets Keanu Neal, S, Florida I also considered Neal at a couple of spots earlier on. He is great kid who you want in the building, and he's one of the more physical players in the draft. Watch Neal's highlights 21. Washington Redskins A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama The Redskins continue to get more physical with the addition of Robinson, who helps solidify the defensive front. They worked on the lines last year and go back to the well this year. Watch Robinson's highlights 22. Houston Texans Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia I wouldn't be at all surprised if Joseph is off the board before this point. He'd be a great fit here, and I think he comes in ready to start. Spoiler 23. Minnesota Vikings Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss A potential dream scenario for the Vikings, who will be looking for the No. 2 option in that offense to go with Stefon Diggs. Treadwell lacks elite speed, but he's got pretty much everything else you want. Watch Treadwell's highlights 24. Cincinnati Bengals Josh Doctson, WR, TCU The Bengals took a hit in free agency and are now short another dynamic threat opposite A.J. Green. Doctson is a magician with the ball in the air, and he will be a favorite of Andy Dalton's. Watch Doctson's highlights 25. Pittsburgh Steelers William Jackson III, CB, Houston I'm not totally convinced the Steelers will go with a cornerback here, even though I see that as a clear need position. They could target a pass-rusher, but Jackson is a great value at this spot. Watch Jackson's highlights 26. Seattle Seahawks T.J. Green, S, Clemson He's listed at safety, but this is a guy who could come in and be a press corner, and he certainly fits the model for the players they like in the secondary. The former wide receiver has decent ball skills. Watch Green's highlights 27. Green Bay Packers Jarran Reed, DL, Alabama If Reed went much earlier, perhaps as high as No. 16 or No. 19 overall, it wouldn't surprise me. At this point, he's just a tremendous value. Watch Reed's highlights 28. Kansas City Chiefs Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss Someone has to roll the dice on the kid, and I think this is the kind of program that can help Nkemdiche become a star. He has extraordinary natural ability, he just needs to stay focused. Watch Nkemdiche's highlights 29. Arizona Cardinals Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State Almost every team in this draft has "cornerback" listed among their top needs, and at this point Apple looks like a tremendous value. The Cardinals have dealt with injuries, and Apple is great insurance with the potential to be a star. Watch Apple's highlights 30. Carolina Panthers Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson The Panthers need another pass-rusher, and Dodd was a big-time producer at Clemson. He needs to grow because much of his dominating tape came against some average blockers, but when you play with a lead, you can use these guys. He jumps into the rotation. Watch Dodd's highlights 31. Denver Broncos Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M They might take a hard look at a quarterback here, but in the end I don't think John Elway and that room will be able to stomach the reach on value. Ifedi is a tackle they can kick inside. They need the help on the O-line.
McShay's final mock - Spoiler 1. Los Angeles Rams* Jared Goff, QB, Cal The choice here is between Goff and Carson Wentz. Everything I've been hearing since the Rams traded up from No. 15 is that Goff will be the pick. He's not a finished product, but Goff has the high-level work ethic and football IQ you look for in quarterbacks. Watch Goff's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Titans 2. Philadelphia Eagles* Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State Wentz comes with great intangibles and is a naturally accurate thrower. Pairing him with QB guru Doug Pederson would aid Wentz's steep learning curve as he transitions from the FCS. Watch Wentz's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Browns 3. San Diego Chargers Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame This is a good time to remind everyone: I'm projecting what will happen, not what I would do if I ran each team. I'm hearing the Chargers have Stanley higher on their board than Ole Miss' Laremy Tunsil, so the Notre Dame product is the pick. Regardless of whom they take, the Chargers need to find a way to keep QB Philip Rivers upright. Watch Stanley's highlights 4. Dallas Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State Elliott is a true three-down RB who can start immediately behind Dallas' elite offensive line. He rushed for 3,699 yards and 41 TDs in his last two seasons at Ohio State. Watch Elliott's highlights 5. Jacksonville Jaguars Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State A very physical corner who also can play safety, Ramsey has elite cover skills and rare athleticism. The Jaguars need to continue to add difference-makers to their secondary. Watch Ramsey's highlights 6. Baltimore Ravens Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi This would be a dream scenario for GM Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens, who need a left tackle of the future in the worst way. Tunsil's ceiling is sky high. He has the natural ability to play at a Pro Bowl level for a long time. Watch Tunsil's highlights 7. San Francisco 49ers DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon The 49ers are a little tough to figure out. Buckner would fit the best-player-available method of drafting -- at least according to my board. He's a great fit as a 5-technique DE in San Francisco's 3-4 and would bring toughness against the run. Watch Buckner highlights 8. Cleveland Browns* Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State The Browns need a player who can come in and be a difference-maker from day one, and Bosa is that guy. His tape was consistently great throughout his final two seasons at Ohio State, and he plays with a relentlessness that can't be taught. Watch Bosa's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Eagles 9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia As I've been saying for the past 10 days or so: Floyd is the hottest name in the draft. The last Tampa Bay edge rusher to record double-digit sacks was Simeon Rice in 2005. Floyd has a ton of upside in that area, given his elite first step and freakish athleticism. Watch Floyd's highlights 10. New York Giants Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State The Giants do not have a long-term right tackle on the roster. Conklin would solve that problem. A former walk-on, Conklin is a powerful run-blocker who plays with the physical edge needed for a right tackle. Plug-and-play starter. Watch Conklin's highlights 11. Chicago Bears Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson Lawson, who led the FBS last season with 25.5 tackles for loss, is a highly effective run defender, playing with a good mixture of relentlessness, technique and discipline. Watch Lawson's highlights 12. New Orleans Saints Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville I've mocked Rankins to the Saints quite a few times. They need to get stronger and quicker up front, and Rankins' versatile skill set would make an immediate impact in New Orleans. Watch Rankins' highlights 13. Miami Dolphins* Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida Hargreaves has the best man-to-man cover skills in this draft, and while his stock has taken a bit of a hit because of his concerning measurables, I still think he can be a good starting outside CB in the NFL. Watch Hargreaves' highlights | *Acquired in trade with Eagles 14. Oakland Raiders Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia A two-time team captain who comes with excellent overall makeup and football character, Joseph is the most complete true safety in this class. Joseph brings a physical presence to the position, discarding blocks well and showing savvy working through traffic. Watch Joseph's highlights 15. Tennessee Titans* Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State With a boatload of picks from their trade with the Rams, Tennessee could consider moving back into the top 10 to snag one of the draft's top-three offensive tackles. But Decker would be a plug-and-play right tackle option. He's one of the steadier O-lineman you'll study on tape. Watch Decker's highlights | *Acquired in trade with Rams 16. Detroit Lions Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA Jack is falling on some teams' boards because of questions surrounding his knee injury. If healthy, he has one of the highest ceilings in this draft. Jack's athletic skill set would make Detroit better against both the run and pass. Watch Jack's highlights 17. Atlanta Falcons Keanu Neal, S, Florida You'd have to think Atlanta also would consider Ohio State's Darron Lee here if the board fell this way, but Neal would give coach Dan Quinn the most physical player in this class and a safety who comes into the league ready to contribute right away. Neal has the skill set to play the Kam Chancellor role in Quinn's defense. Watch Neal's highlights 18. Indianapolis Colts Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama By any means necessary, the Colts need to leave this draft with a more solidified offensive line to protect QB Andrew Luck. Kelly has the frame, quickness and football intelligence to make an immediate impact wherever he ends up. Watch Kelly's highlights 19. Buffalo Bills Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State The Bills got gashed against the run last season, allowing 4.4 yards per carry (25th overall). Lee's ability to get sideline to sideline with his incredible athleticism would help in that regard. He also can match up one-on-one in coverage against RBs and TEs. Watch Lee's highlights 20. New York Jets Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State The Jets are lacking a natural outside CB to play opposite Darrelle Revis, and Apple fits the bill. He needs to improve his technique in press coverage, but Apple's rare size-speed combo (6-foot-1; 4.40 40) gives him a lot of upside if he's coached properly. Watch Apple's highlights 21. Washington Redskins Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama Reed, the most dominant interior run defender in this class, is almost too perfect of a fit for the Redskins. He's a plug-and-play starter at 3-4 nose tackle, which Washington needs in the worst way after allowing 4.8 yards per carry last season (31st in the NFL). Watch Reed's highlights 22. Houston Texans Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor The Texans have spent the offseason overhauling their offense, so why stop now? New QB Brock Osweiler could use some more speed at WR opposite of DeAndre Hopkins, and Coleman ran a sub-4.4 40 at his pro day. He has a lot of work to do as a route runner, but he is a highly gifted athlete who has the natural ability to make guys miss in the open field. Watch Coleman's highlights Spoiler 23. Minnesota Vikings Josh Doctson, WR, TCU Doctson would be a welcome sight for QB Teddy Bridgewater. The TCU product has the size, leaping skills and focus to present a one-on-one matchup problem down the field outside the hashes. Watch Doctson's highlights 24. Cincinnati Bengals Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi While Treadwell lacks game-breaking speed, he's highly effective on contested throws and jump balls. In Cincy, he would thrive in the short-to-intermediate area playing opposite one of the league's premier deep threats in A.J. Green. Watch Treadwell's highlights 25. Pittsburgh Steelers William Jackson III, CB, Houston The Steelers need to come out of this draft with upgrades at CB after allowing 272 passing yards per game last season (30th overall). Jackson, who led the FBS with 28 pass breakups last season, has the best ball skills of any defensive back in this draft. Watch Jackson's highlights 26. Seattle Seahawks Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M Russell Wilson was running for his life far too often last season (45 sacks, tied for third worst). And while Ifedi is really raw, he has the length (36-inch arms), quickness and balance to eventually develop into a quality right tackle. Watch Ifedi's highlights 27. Green Bay Packers Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama The Packers want to move Clay Matthews back to outside linebacker, and drafting a player like Ragland -- who is one of the most pro-ready prospects in this class -- would be a solution there. He'd be a steal at No. 27, too. Watch Ragland's highlights 28. Kansas City Chiefs Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech Butler has flashes of Muhammad Wilkerson in his game. He's a dominant run defender who wins with good quickness for his size, but his production never quite matched his ability as a pass-rusher. Watch Butler's highlights 29. Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida Bullard has experience playing both inside and outside, so he brings a lot of versatility to the table. He doesn't have elite physical tools, but he's a grinder. Watch Bullard's highlights 30. Carolina Panthers Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson Dodd comes with some risk because he really put together only one solid year of film. His athletic limitations are also a concern, but on tape, he shows a good first step coming off the edge. Watch Dodd's highlights 31. Denver Broncos Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas Henry has natural ball skills and the athleticism to stretch the defense down the seam. He uses his frame well to shield defenders from the ball in contested-catch situations.
