mock draft thread 2017

If that was the case just take Mixon at 17.

I would take the boom or bust McDowell at 17 over Mixon.

Who would you select?
Total Votes : 50

Just wanted to remind people of the defensive players Redskins fans voted in for options at 17 in this mock draft. Looking at those names, again RB was voted BPA. Not saying that would be "you're favorite" pick but it may make you wonder if Cook or McCaffery may really have a better immediate and long term impact over these guys.

Cunningham, Peppers, White, Charlton, Watt, Melifonwu, McDowell, King, Davis, Brantley


There is still a chance I can return to what I know is right and reach on Melifonwu or gamble on a top prospect that fell INSTEAD of RB ahem...shark, lol

1. Its almost never right to reach on a player.

2. If we are going on the assumption that we can find a RB in the later rounds..... Matt Jones is all Im going to say on that one.

I agree with each of your numbered points, oddly enough they both apply to some of Scott's success and failure here.
He reached with a vision and had immediate success, but waited too long on a RB and it cost the team later.

obviously we agree if certain players are still there, we take them over Cook, if not -- he SHOULD be the pick.

Three things then.

1. I believe Cook is much more talented than the players that have been projected for us to take at 17.

2. I think you vastly under value what a RB could do for this team as a whole.

3. The best thing for our defense right now (and for the next few seasons actually) is an offense capable of keeping them off the field and also an offense capable of scoring TDs and not field goals in the redzone.

1. Fair enough. But I disagree.

2. Again I strongly disagree. I think the value of a RB in todays NFL is pretty clear.

3. The best thing for our defense right now is to have more talent. Offense can help but not as much as actually having talent on D. And an offense capable of scoring TDs and not field goals doesnt require a top shelf RB. It might not even require an upgrade considering we were pretty good in the redzone 2 years ago with an unimpressive group of guys.

 

[Skin'EmAll]

hmmm? I guess a DE in nickel? also from what I remember I'd like to an ILB in the 1st or 2nd, I believe Tom also had a nice run of taking no-name ILB and turning them into tackling machines

Yeap Cook is a very special rb and would fit very nicely in a pass happy off. My #1 problem with him is he just doesn't appear to be a good between the tackle rb and this draft has some good between the tackle rb's. James Conner and others come to mind. However I would't be bad if we toke him.

1. Thats true. But taking a defensive player isnt reaching.

2. If we are going on the assumption we can get a stud RB in the first round....... Trent Richardson is all Im going to on that one.

I don't know who voted RB's as BPA, but factoring in the off-field issues of Cook and Mixon - I don't expect that an RB will be the BPA at 17. Some folks here seem to be ignoring Cook's issues, but NFL GM's typically don't ignore those types of issues, and I'd be extremely surprised if the Skins picked him at 17 for that reason.

 

[redskin4209]

I can't imagine they pick Lamp - not because he's an offensive player - but because he doesn't seem like a first round talent to me. He seems like a center more than anything else. Lacks length, isn't particularly strong or quick. Sounds an awful lot like Cory Raymer. If I'm going to pick a guard that high, I want a big bully, and he ain't it. Definitely not an SM type player.

Man if you don't like my pick Lamp you would have a conniption fit if I told you my ideal 17th pick would be. LOL But that's okay it would not be fun if we all agree on the see pick.

Wanted Barnett and really surprised he went #4. I like McCaffeys ability to catch out of the back field. Think he really could do well in our offense. Really need a defensive player but McCaffey was BPA I felt.

I would have no problem picking an O-lineman if that player is the BPA, but I don't think Lamp is a first round talent - not that I'm an expert - so I guess it's possible... I'm wrong. Nah. So um, who's your ideal pick?

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I think some would be happy, and others would flip reddick wasn't picked.
