Round 1: Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina 
Round 2: Billy Price OG/C Ohio State 
Round 3: Shaqueem Griffin LB UCF
Round 4: Kalen Ballage RB Arizona St
Round 6: Parry Nickerson CB Tulane  
Round 7: Kurt Benkert QB Virginia  
Round 7: Antonio Callaway WR Florida  

I usually do a couple of mocks each year. This is my first and maybe last this year. Thoughts?

I love the first three picks, though somehow I think the positional order will end up being reversed (OL in first round and TE in the 2nd).

Not too crazy about the Ballage pick, but since he would be drafted to back up Fournette, I guess that might work.

I would be very reluctant to bring Callaway aboard.  I think we have a good locker room right now, and I would not want it disrupted.  So far, Fowler has made strides, and Westbrook has been a good citizen based upon the stuff I have and have not seen, but even though he would be a 7th round pick, I don't know if I'd want that distraction.

Let me put it this way.

If the team wins again...heck wins the Super Bowl in 2018...we'd have a locker room full of people who know how to win.  Even if Campbell and a few others leave due to the salary cap, we'd have enough solid vets to help keep the locker room in line. 

Coughlin already has the credibility.  Marrone would have the credibility.  Guys like Telvin Smith would be able to keep people in line.  At that point, there would be so much pressure from top to bottom in the organization to not be a knucklehead, the team could eventually take a risk on a guy like that.

But nice work overall.  You did a good job addressing needs and getting decent value at the picks.
