First version, pre-combine thoughts are.... 

 

1. TEN - OT Laremy Tunsil

2. CLE - QB Carson Wentz

3. S.D. - S/CB Jalen Ramsey

4. DAL - LB Myles Jack

5. JAC - DE Joey Bosa

6. BAL - OT Ronnie Stanley

7. S.F. - QB Jared Goff

8. MIA - DE/OLB Noah Spence

9. TAM - CB Vernon Hargreaves

10. NYG - DE Shaq Lawson

11. CHI - DE DeForest Buckner

12. N.O. - DT Jarran Reed

13.  PHI - DT A'Shawn Robinson

14. OAK - CB Mackensie Alexander

15. L.A. - QB Paxton Lynch

16. DET - WR Laquon Treadwell

17. ATL - DE Emmanuel Ogbah

18. IND - OT Taylor Decker

19. BUF - DT Robert Nkemdiche

20. NYJ - RB Ezekiel Elliott

21. WAS - LB Reggie Ragland

22. HOU - RB Derrick Henry

23. MIN - LB Darron Lee

24. CIN - LB Jaylon Smith

25. PIT - CB Eric Apple

26. SEA - OT Jack Conklin

27. G.B. - DT Andrew Billings

28. K.C. - DT Sheldon Rankins

29. ARI - OLB Leonard Floyd

30. DEN - DE Jonathan Bullard

31. CAR - DE Kevin Dodd

 

Dallas could easily take Joey Bosa, but they may need LB more, and Jack is a special talent.  If they don't take him, the Jags probably would if Ramsey is gone.  Spence flies all the way up to #8 to the Dolphins.  I think WR Treadwell runs a pretty slow 40 and falls all the way to 16 to Detroit, which will be perfect for them.  If Derrick Henry falls to round 2, we should trade up to #32 with the Browns to get him. (provided we have picked up OC Alex Mack and a FS Eric Weddle in Free Agency).  I don't care if we have Yeldon.  T.J. could be a good #2 complement back, just like he was at Alabama.

 

Your thoughts on how the first 5 shake out and my other picks here?

---

In my mind, I don't see Bosa getting past both the Chargers and Cowboys.  I think both of those teams will be looking really hard at him.  Nice mock.  

---

Yea because we should definitely trade picks to move into round 1 to select a back up RB.....


Running back is the least of our problems. If we trade back into the first it should be for another defensive player. But I doubt we trade back into the 1st.

I agree to an extent, but I don't think Bosa really fits their defensive scheme.  Kind of like how Clowney didn't fit the Texans scheme (I bet they with they had that pick back).  Ramsey fits a huge need for the Chargers and is regarded as a pretty safe pick it seems.  As for the Cowboys, if they don't keep Hardy, then I could see them taking Bosa, but they also might take a QB.  LB will be a much bigger need, and remember they just took a DE early last year and the year before.

Who said trade back into the first round?  I said trade up to the top of the 2nd (pick #32 this year) and take Henry, who would be our STARTER and Yeldon would be a good back-up.  Come on, Fail-bones.  LOL.

The Chargers need to fix their offensive line. I think if the Titans don't pick Laremy Tunsil, the Chargers will.

 

Nothing would make me angrier than the Cowboys picking Joey Bosa.

T.J. Yeldon is not going to be a backup. We drafted him near the top of the second round to be our starter. We need to move A.J. Cann to LG and draft a center to give Yeldon bigger holes to run through.

Cann will be LG, Linder will come back at RG, and hopefully Alex Mack is signed again this year to play Center and Browns can't stop it this time.  That would give us all the more reason to draft Henry, so he could run through those big holes to the END ZONE.  Yeldon pitter-patters around and will never be a scoring threat on every play.  He is better suited as a 3rd down back or a good back-up, IMO.

We don't know about Alex Mack yet. If for some reason the Jaguars don't sign him in the offseason, drafting a center is an absolute must.

Ryan Kelly is the top-rated, and might be there in the 2nd.  Would he be any better than Ski or Bowanko?  Not sure that stud Center is in the draft this year, but that's Caldwell's job I guess.

So what if Ramsey and Bosa are both gone?  Buckner?  Yuck.  Hopefully we could trade down with somebody really wanting Myles Jack, or just take him ourselves.

take Mack or VH3

I would be pleased if Bosa fell to us at 5. I still don't thing it will happen.

We're gonna get Bosa, Ramsey, Jack or Tunsil.. I'd be happy with any of those 4..

1. Titans: Laremy Tunsil

2. Browns: Carson Wentz

3. Chargers: DeForest Buckner

4. Cowboys: Paxton Lynch

5. Jaguars: Joey Bosa

6. Ravens: Myles Jack

7. Niners: Jared Goff

That is what I was thinking.  Titans or Chargers will take Tunsil for sure, and Browns will take a QB, so we are pretty much sure to get Ramsey, Bosa or Jack.

Ramsey AND Bosa both available, and we take Bosa?  Wonder what Caldwell would do there?  Ramsey fits a bigger need, and there will be good DE's in the 2nd round available. But Bosa paired with Fowler would surely bring a lot more sacks, which would help out the secondary, no matter who was back there.  Elliott to Giants is a good possibility over what I had. I don't think the Cowboys take a QB for some reason.

I would rather take Myles Jack myself. We need a linebacker.

nothing is a bigger need than pass rusher.

Joey Bosa fills a bigger need. There is a huge dropoff in talent from 5 to 38. How did Andre Branch work out as an early second round pick?

 

I think Dallas should draft a quarterback when there are much better prospects available. They can afford to put it off for now.
