My Version of a Mock Draft

[Harry]

If you’ve seen this format in previous years, it’s simple to follow. These are my preference selections at each pick in this order. Once you take a player, likely you never take more than 2 players at any position. If you feel you’re overloading, drop to the next player. Coleman at 35 would be an example if you already taken a WR. You may want to take another WR later. I’m assuming the Cards take a receiver first. I’ll post trade scenarios later. If one or more of a group is not selected before the next pick that player(s) moves to the top of the next set.

Thanks, Harry. This is great! Will refer to it as a reference.

@Harry No Renardo Green? He had a really good season with FSU last year. PBU machine.

I'm also maybe considering Darius Robinson at #27. I think his combination of skills would fit how Gannon likes to move around players. Id look at him as a 3-4 DE not an OLB.

Is that your order of preference in the hypothetical that all five guys are available?

 

[Red Bird]

Is Dejean at 35 really a possibility? Thought he was projected to go somewhere in the 20s.

You have to remember, we are looking at boards created by non-NFL people. Draft day can look a lot different.

Just yesterday there was the tweet that Andru Phillips had a first round grade from some NFL teams, and I routinely get him in the third round on mock draft simulators. NFL teams get actual access to these guys, their coaches, and see stuff we don't see.

Good stuff, thanks Harry.

if enough teams conclude that he isnt a corner but a safety

personally: i think he is the coming of Minkah Fitzpatrick, but i also dont do this for a living

Broken leg has dropped him on some boards. Several teams can’t decide if he can stay at CB or moves to safety. He’d struggle to cover a prominent WR.

He’s going to have to change much of his technique in the NFL. He grabs too much and his face guarding won’t fly in the league. He also has trouble with fly patterns.

I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s the choice. He’s more of a project than the 2 I listed though they could well be gone. Cards might move up with this pick. I just think they already have Edge guys in development. Hard to find enough reps for all the guys with limited productivity.
