Quote:Sanders was far from an impact player. Did you watch the games? LOL. He was drafted as a return guy who would get some time in the slot, and he was forced into a starting role due to injuries and Blackmon's suspension. This year we need a starter to replace Blackmon's production, IMO. That's why I am so high on Watkins in the 1st. Watkins, Evans, Beckham, Cooks, Lee and Benjamin will most likely all be gone by our pick in the 2nd. Moncrief will probably go at the end of the 2nd to somebody like Denver, S.F. or New England. Good luck finding an impact, starting WR after that. I have 11 WR's going in the first two rounds in my latest mock. I think that is very realistic. Many other teams need WR's, so they are going to recognize all the talent and pounce.
I also like OG or Center in the 2nd round. In the mock I did here, I just envisioned Caldwell getting impatient and taking Garoppolo. I don't even really want him though. If we sign another vet OG or Center to start, which is my hope, maybe we could take Mack in the 1st and still be all right with something like this draft:
Rnd 1 - OLB/DE K. Mack
Rnd 2 - WR Jordan Matthews or Allen Robinson (either could be starters, but not the impact of Watkins)
Rnd 3 - Starting OG or Center depending on who else we sign before draft
Rnd 4 - Best available QB
Looking more and more like no franchise QB for us again this year.
i'm not criticising your mock it's as good and as realistic for any i've seen going 50+ picks in
do i watch the games? no i come on here with absolutely no basis just for the kicks... no need to be condescending just because i disagree with you that wide receiver is our biggest need
i just really don't see the jags going wide receiver that high and this being a forum i feel like debating that point
sanders was second in receptions and yards for us last year whilst he was moved round the field and into the backfield for the sole purpose of getting him the ball to try make plays
i call that making an impact
is he going to be a number one or two receiver on the roster, no but i think he can be our number 4 on the roster and our punt returner for the forseeable future.
and right now as our number 3 he did a good job and should get another shot in the slot next year
just on the clowney point
clowney is used to being and really built to be a 4-3 de so i doubt houston go for him given that they have traded schaub and their main need is a qb
the rams have two excellent de's already and could use that number 1 pick on strengthening an area of need either wr or right tackle or trading for more picks over going clowney and then having to try and orchestrate a trade for one of those de's
the only people i can see trading for clowney is atlanta especially after tampa picked up michael johnson
cleveland i believe are going to run a 3-4 and have barkevious mingo for the 3-4 olb postion
oakland have too many needs to package picks.
added minnesota and atlanta would probably prefer to trade with someone out of their conference especially as st louis have already done far too well out of the rg 3 deal and are becoming a strong unit.
also it would cost less to trade lower down the order and caldwell has connections with dimitroff.
I would be very surprised if clowney or mack were not their for us at 3
i actually see mack more likely to go to houston and st louis as the rams are missing a piece in that front 7 next to ogletree and laurinitus and houston have a weak lb core in that 3-4. A dominant olb could be a huge boon for their defense
me if i had to go a top 8 no trades
i'd go houston teddy
st louis greg robinson
jags clowney
cleveland johnny manziel
oakland sammy watkins
atlanta khalil mack
tampa jake matthews
minnesota blake bortles
