Regarding the Jaguars' portions of the mock, I would hate the Rousseau pick at 25.  Here's a guy who is a converted WR, who has one year of experience on the DL two years ago, who got most of his sacks rushing from the inside who will preumably project to edge rusher in a 3-4?  Hard pass.

I really like the Mayfield pick at 33.  That pick minimally drastically improves the depth on the right side of the OL, but most likely upgrades RT.

On a base level, I can't complain too much about Cox at 45, though given how your draft went, I think I might have gone with one of the receivers there at 45.


Stearns at the top of the 3rd makes sense, and I love the 4th round picks under the circumstances.

I would think Pittsburgh fans would be happy with that draft.  I would hate Eichenberg to Indy, and Paye and Jordan to tennessee.

I agree. This is why I see Jaelan Phillips and Kwity Paye going before him, even though most mocks have Rousseau going first. If he falls to the Jags though, I can see them selecting him based upon him being the BAP. 

Personally, I hate the Mayfield selection. I don't see him as much of an upgrade at the RT position. I'd much rather have Spencer Brown, who has much better athleticism and footwork, but based upon how much Warhop is influencing Meyer, I think they will select Mayfield. 

To me, Cox is one of the best selections in this draft. That kid is all over the field and makes plays a variety of ways. I believe he is much better than anything we have at LB right now. 

I agree about the 4th round. Given how much Meyer wants to emphasize speed, Yeboah should fit the type of big play TE he would covet. I'm also a big fan of Ben Cleveland who has experience at OG and Center. 

Agreed. I would've loved Eichenberg, but Indy desperately needs a LT and given how this draft goes, I think Eichenberg is a good fit. Vera Tucker just seems like the type O-Lineman Pittsburgh covets.

I might be more open to Rousseau coming here i we were still in a 4-3 and we had a vet like Calais Campbell to mentor him and give him the tricks to the trade to help develop him.  Without those factors being present here, I would not want him here.  In fact, I'd rather take Etienne at 25 than Rousseau.

So this mock-at least the Jaguars portion of it-is more a statement of the lack of faith you have in the FO/coaching staff as it is anything else?

It would not surprise me at all to see the Colts trade back from 21.  Their current GM trades back all the time, and now he's without a 3rd round pick due to the Wentz trade.  I could see the Colts moving back to the bottom of the first round, top of round 2 and still getting a LT and picking up an extra pick or 2.

I presume you put Cox inside.  Would you project him to start?  If so, over whom?  Schobert was tasked to get the defense lined up but is not the athlete Jack is.  Jack has struggled when asked to get the defense lined up, and the team is switching to a new defense.
