I don't like the fact that you have my guy Joey Bosa going to a team I really dislike. Ugh.. The thought scares me.

 

[old duke]

Hey, I hope Jerrah screws up again. We'll see. A lot of time between the draft and now. No worries.

 

[Los Eagles]

Wentz is big and athletic. He seems like he can make all the throws.

 

[Iron Eagle]

The Rams are gonna jump up and get someone.

 

[WIZ]

I like Decker and think Conklin is going to end up at G. No way I go QB (would take Goff if I did). Nice effort though.

 

[Rey]

I think Goff is a bit over rated personally. I have Wentz as the #1 QB in the draft and Lynch as the #2. I would take Shaq Lawson in that scenario (if we Franchise or re-sign Bradford) or CB Mac Alexander. I actually had a Mock Off Season ready to go (with Lawson as our #1 pick at 13), but I'll wait to see what happens with Bradford first.

 

[WIZ]

I think Goff is accurate and never gets hurt. I also think he's overrated at top 10. He woud be my first choice if we took a QB.

Go ahead and show your early mock Rey. It might be some time before we know about Sam. Mine is going to change quite a few times before April. This was just a first attempt to see how things might go but we know that very few of these will match up with these teams anyway. Even the national "experts" may oly get 6 or 7 matches, and they have the inside scoops. Please send it in!

 

[Wings]

In that scenario Conklin is gone, i trade back.

 

[mall3013]

Would any of you jump at Braxton Miller if he makes it to the 2nd round and we manage to get a 2nd rounder via trade somewhere? Assuming we tag SB and someone offers a 2nd or we trade back and get an OT in 1st? Just throwing it out there? It would be tempting, no?

Not me. I wouldn't be interested until at least the 3rd rd. He's a jack of all trades, master of none.

 

[Rey]

I love Brax Miller .... Think a better Antwaan Randle El, kind of like Randall Cobbish, but not as polished. I have a 3rd round grade on him, but can see him going as early as late 2nd. For us, I would look in a different direction as we have other, more obvious needs.

 

[SoShady]

I'm with Rey on this scenario give me Alexander or Lawson. You also seem to have forgotten L Treadwell or left him out of the first round by design?

 

[deerpathdave]

I think these QBs are going to go higher than projected. Its easy to see Cleveland, SF and Philly drafting QBs, but if your in Dallas or New Orleans it would be prudent to draft your QB of the future now as well. Sit them behind Romo/Brees for a year maybe two and then let the old guys go.

Bradford has great value to teams that don't draft in the top half of the first round...Houston, St. Louis, Buffalo or the Jets. Lock up an upgrade at QB that simply won't be there in the draft.

I think the Eagles would prefer to go with a rookie QB, buts its awfully risky to pass on Bradford and then find out that none of the big three at QBs are sitting there at number 13.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was typing fast in order to get on with something. I will re-do it, as I left out a couple players. I tried to paste my original list, but I am not computer literate.

A lot will change before April 28th, but here goes:

1. Tenn. - Laremy Tunsil, T, Miss.
2. Clev. - Jared Goff, QB, Cal

4. Dall. - Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio St.

10. NYG - A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Ala.
11. Chi. - Jack Conklin,T, Mich.St.
12. N.O. - Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clem.
13. EAGLES - Carson Wentz, QB, NN ST. (I doubt that this will be the pick, since it looks like they will sign Bradford, but if they only franchise SB, they could still go QB. We shall see. If not, then OL would be the ick, perhaps Decker or Whitehair).
14. Oak. - Reggie Ragland, LB, Ala.

29. Ariz. - Germain Ifedi, T, Tex.A&M
30. Den. - Connor Cook, QB, Mich.St.
31. Carol. - Eli Apple, CB, Ohio St.

I have made some corrections. In RED. This will change a lot before April.

 

[DutchBird]

As for teams potentially drafting a QB (need, upgrade or replacement; ages start of 2016 season)

1. Tenn.- No
2. Clev. - YES - NEED (NO QB)
3. S.D. - YES - Replacement. Rivers is 34, a bit up and down.
4. Dall. - YES - Replacement/Need. Romo is 36, and falling apart.
5. Jack. - No
6. Balt. - No
7. SFran. - YES - NEED
8. Miami - No (probably, due to contract)
9. Tampa - No.
10. NYG - YES - Replacement (Eli is 35, and has been so so).
11. Chi. - Maybe - (Cutler is 34, has been mediocre. Groom QB of the future).
12. N.O. - YES - Need/replacement (Brees is 37)
13. EAGLES - No (if Bradford retained) FTR, Bradford is 14th youngest starting QB in the league right now.
14. Oak. - No
15. L.A. - YES - NEED (NO QB)
16. Det. - No.
17. Atl. - Probably not, the Ryan has not been that good this season.
18. Ind. - No
19. Buff. - No
20. NYJ - YES - (Fitzpatrick is a journeyman at best, mediocre. Competition for Bradford).
21. Wash. - No (assuming them resigning/tagging Cousins being true).
22. Hous. - YES - (NEED. Competition for Bradford).
23. Minn. - No
24. Cinc. - No
25. Pitt. - YES - Replacement. (BR is 34, and has been taking a beating. His body might not be able to take it much longer).
26. SEA. - No.
27. GBAY - No
28. K.C. - No
29. Ariz. - YES - Replacement (Palmer is 36, and has been very shaky these playoffs).
30. Den. - YES - NEED. (Manning is 40, done, and Osweiler looked so-so).
31. Carol. - No

X - NE - Maybe (Brady is 39, depends on what they think of Garropolo).

The way I see it, a lot of competition for QB's, few if any true first round talents available, probably all QB's significantly overdrafted because of a mediocre class of QB's, and many teams needing them.

Spot on. There seem to be 3 QBs in this draft and I would expect all three to go in the top 13 picks. I also will be surprised to see Bradford an Eagle. If I were him I would want to be in Houston.

 

[Deano]

Take Ragland and have the best D in the division.

 

[WIZ]

The Eagles have a meeting with Wentz today. I assume that means he's out.
