Let's try to predict how this would have went after the horrific injury suffered by Dante Fowler last week.
How would the top 5 picks have unfolded?
Well, first of all we know how the first 2 picks would go.
1: Tampa Bay - Jameis Winston
2: Tennessee - Marcus Mariota
This brings us to number 3. No brainer.
3: Leonard Williams - Clearly the best player in the draft. He should go number 1 and he still might.
4: Amari Cooper - Raiders want a receiver for their franchise qb to throw to, and he is polished and clearly their guy.
Which brings us to number 5. We are on the clock! Before we get to the contenders, let's realize what goes into making this decision.
The Experts know best. Remember these are guys like Draftblitz:Tony, and Draftblitz:Jaimi, cbssportline:Richie, who spend hours and hours each week scouring the internet for other mock drafts, and finally editing and saving their work to their blogs or web pages. Many of them know each other(Tony and Jaimi probably do). Some will even watch youtube videos of players who are expected to be drafted. Dedication.
Our History. Week up the middle, but sneaky fast around the edges. This has enabled us to reel off seasons of at least 3 to 4 wins every year. Remember, if we draft a guy that gets 8 sacks and let's say our defense is on the field for 1000 plays a year(just over 60 plays a game x 16 games), that is a whooping .008 percent of plays that he has had a direct influence on the game. Now factor in the near sacks and the 2 or 3 false starts a season where the tackle jumps too early. You can't go wrong with this ideology.
Ok, the contenders.
Vic Beasley. Did you see him in speedos at the combine! Could be an action hero! Also, when the pro bowl changes format to be an obstacle course of some kind, this is the guy you want.
Shayne Ray. I still haven't seen any video on him, and the foot may be a serious problem. He also has had major character issues, but many mocks have him going here at 5.
Randy Gregory. Has some real concerns, but again...speed! He will put on some weight and eventually replace Rak.
Dante Fowler. Now hear me out on this. Ok, he sits out one year, but then you get everything the other 3 guys are, and probably more. Maybe gets to 10 sacks in a few years. Plus he has gold shoes!
Remember if Leonard Williams somehow falls to us, knock the commissioner down after he announces the Raiders pick and announce him as our pick right after!
