VTs Mock (with trades)

[Sleepy T]

I feel like someone may try to move up to #21 for a QB. Denver, KC, Arizona, Cleveland, St. Louis, SF, (and others l) all could be suitors depending on what happens in the first half of the 1st round. Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook (who I think is very underrated) would likely be the target.

In this scenario and in a surprising move, The Browns bypass QB at 2 (very possible IMO) and trade back into the the first round with us to pick up Cleveland Ohio's own Connor Cook. We trade back again (from 32) in the second, and make a later trade or two to acquire some other picks.

We end up with with 2 picks in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, (3) in the 7th and 1 pick in the 4th and 6th for a total of 11 picks.

----------
2nd - Michael Thomas, WR, tOSU --- Redskins are reportedly very interested in him. Should be a Top 2-3 receiver IMHO

2nd - Kendall Fuller, CB, VT --- Dropping due to injury. Top 15 talent Pro Bowl type talent. Great tackler. High character, high ceiling, hometown kid. A steal in the late second.

3rd - Austin Johnson, DT, Penn State. --- NT to replace pot roast

3rd - Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State --- We get another quality lineman.

4th - Max Tuerk, C, USC --- Cameron Fleming Jr. , Multiple starts at every OL position while starting as a freshman in LA. 3rd or 4th best C (by the experts) drafted in the 4th round!! Say it ain't so!

5th - Dadi Nicolas, OLB, VT --- Insert VT homer joke here >>>. Most mocks have him a little bit higher. He played out of position in Blacksburg and is a liability in the run game and coverage. Don't see him being an every down player. But he could be as good as any pass rusher in the league on 3rd down. Will be a good special teamer as well.

5th - Tyler Matekovich, ILB, Temple --- Bronco Nagurski winner. Not super athletic but just makes plays. Good run stuffer and special teamer. You look up football player in the dictionary and this guys picture could be there.

6th - Glenn Gronkowski, FB, Kansas St. --- Name says it all. DYs replacement. Special team contributor.

7th to come later....

Johnson and Jones do not look like 3rd round picks as of right now. I also heard the skins interest in Thomas. If they really want him there are going to have to pick him at #21.

i wouldnt be so sure about that i have seen lots of mocks having them show up anywhere from 1-3 . it all depends on how things fall particularly the qbs

7th - Keith Marshall, RB, Georgia --- Had some injury issues and kind of lived in the shadow of Gurley and Chubb, but would have been the starting RB 100 other FBS programs. Super fast and is a home run threat. Would be a nice addition to go along with Jones and Thompson.

7th - Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa --- Played in the air raid O, but was one of the most productive WRs in college this year. They played VT in the bowl game.. And he stood out. Could be a great big target (6'3"-4"ish) for KC.

7th - Michael Caputo, S, Wisconsin --- Productive player in college. A high character leader, who is a typical tough hard nosed Wisky player. Special teamed with some upside and certainly depth. Think Reed Doughty... But better

Chris Jones in the 3rd looks like it would be a steal. ESPN talking him up at Skins #21 spot.
