4. DE
35. TE/OL

You and I would both like Charlie's current Mock on Walterfootball.com
1.) Fournette (I'd take Thomas)
2.) Forrest Lamp
3.) Evan Engram
4.) Cam Sutton
1. Christian McCaffrey RB
2. Forrest Lamp, G/T
3. Josh Jones, SS
4. Adam Shaheen TE
5. Shaquill Griffin CB
6. Tarik Cohen RB/KR
7. Fred Stevenson FB
The last 3 picks were kinda hard lol
Free Agents
1. Kevin Zeitler
2. Calais Campbell
3. AJ Bouye
Quote:I would do it.
I'm glad you are not in charge.

I mean, I wouldn't do it either...but if you are on board with Fournette at 4 there's really no reason not to be McCaffrey at 4 also. He looks every bit as good and far more versatile.

Now I'm thinking way differently...
- 1.4 - DT Jonathan Allen <--replaces Sen'Derrick Marks
- 2.35 - LG Dion Dawkins
- 3.68 - RB Joe Mixon
- 4.110 - TE Adam Shaheen
- 5.148 - CB Jalen Myrick
- 6.187 - DE Tarrell Basham
- 7.222 - FB Sam Rogers
I would rather go
1. Thomas
2. Feeney
3. Mixon
I got a feeling that Mixon will go higher though.
Quote:I have been away for a while, but with the combine winding down, I guess I can put in my two cents.
First though, I will offer my Free Agent selection prognostications:
1. A.J. Bouye - CB - Texans
I think he will be the Jags No. 1 target and they will blow him away with upfront cash.
2. Calais Campbell - DE - Cardinals
I think that Coughlin will want to sign a veteran DE to show the young kids the ropes.
3. Larry Warford - OG - Lions
Jags will settle for Warford after Zeitner picks the Raiders.
4. Kyle Juszczyk - FB - Ravens
Another Coughlin selection - A FB that can be an offensive weapon as well as a be a lead blocker.
5. Jarius Byrd - S - Saints
Not exactly a SS, but a ballhawk who has something to prove with a one year prove it deal.
6. Dion Sims - TE - Dolphins
Blocking TE that will be every bit as effective as Julius Thomas but at a bargain price.
Now the Draft:
Rd 1(4): Leonard Fournette - RB - LSU
The big workhorse RB that will help Bortles become the QB he can be, by taking away all the pressure to win every game with his arm. Fournette will be the Jags Adrian Petersen RB and make the Jags offense look more like that of the Steelers - run heavy. This system works - see Carolina and what they did with a running game and a QB who is not that much better than Bortles.
Rd 2(35): Tanoh Kpassagnon - DE - Villamnova
Right now he is a top half Rd 2 player who if he gets by the Patriots in Rd 1, will be the BIG DE that Coughin loves to draft.
Rd 3(68): Fabian Moreau - CB - UCLA
Big CB, with elite speed and tough against both the run and pass in press coverage.
Rd 4(110): Josh Jones - SS - N.C. State
The Big SS who can run and cover, so much so, that he was a FS as a senior even though he is sized to be a SS. Big hitter, lots of tackles. Speed to run with TEs and RBs.
Rd 5(149) Adam Shaheen - TE - Ashland
Kind of a sleeper who has size and decent speed.
Rd 6(189) Jessamen Dunker - OG - Tennessee State
Small school OG who shined at Senior Bowl.
Rd 7(225): Kareem Are - OG - FSU
Plagued with concussion problems is why he falls. Can he play? Who knows.
Nice job getting the 1st 2 free agents. Regarding your draft picks, I have to agree on Fournette. He will be tempted by Allen, who would also be a great pick if the medical staff approves however running back is a greater need. My draft would look like this following our free agency haul:
Rd. 1 - Fournette
2- Dan Feeney- This guy has Coughlin written all over him. Tough, hard-working and leader. Starts day 1 at right guard and Cann moves to left guard.
3- Gerald Everett- Play-making tight end to compete with Koyack and Sterling.
4. Nathan Peterman- Local product who is on the rise. He's worth a shot if still available at this spot.
5- Jordan Morgan- Small school stud who will compete as depth at guard.
6- Kendall Beckwith- Linebacker may drop due to ACL.
7- Daeshon Hall- Raw sidekick of Myles Garrett. Developmental pass rusher.

It's all about what you think a guy can do next level. Fournette is huge and can run. McCaffrey is a good player but he doesn't seem like he could put an NFL team on his back and grind out tough yards in the trenches. He seems like a guy you would need to get on the edge and let's face it...Fournette is a man amongst boys out there on the field.

Fournette was a man against boys in college, and if you watch he didn't actually "grind out touch yards in the trenches" at least not effectively. Now he's just going to be one of the guys physically, and we think he will someone get better at it?
But Butt is going to have to sit a year. In round four I'd rather target Shaheen.
Also, check out the NT thread. Abry needs someone to rotate with him (unless we do get Poe), and at the end of the thread there are three NTs that I'm thinking can do as much and should still be there in round five.
Here's a post-FA scenario I'd like:
rd1
DL JONATHAN ALLEN
<div>
</div>
<div>rd2
G DION DAWKINS
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>rd3
QB DAVIS WEBB
</div>
<div>rd4
RB WAYNE GALLMAN
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>rd5
TE GEORGE KITTLE
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>rd6
WR JOSH MALONE
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>rd7
OT LEVON MYERS
<div>
</div>

So the guy who need a run way to get going. Is going to be the pick with no help?
If think rookie guards will play lights out in nfl from day one.
Prepare for a long season of dissapointment.
In response of the million post about Fournette.
Given the stock car no pit team.
And then going to complain how much of a mistake it is. Come mid season. Same for cook at this point. (And i love cook as the pick)
