In a mock draft conducted by Kiper and McShay with both supposedly picking the players they like rather than predicting what the team would do, Kiper takes Scherff in the 6th slot with Kevin White still available.....
6. New York Jets
Kiper's pick: Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
Arguably the best player available,. He can help my running game immediately, which makes my offense (and the passing game) more efficient. I looked at wide receiver here, but Scherff makes us better right now, and this roster is closer to really good than many realize. |
p.s.-- McShay takes Gurley for the Giants with the 9th pick.
First 9 picks of Kiper/McShay three round mock draft - (

The key is to have mocks that get the team/pick right. Then you can say how you nailed a pick. So to do that you (1) do a lot of mocks, and (2) disregard reality. They may be hearing nothing about Beasley. Yeah he'll get taken in the first, maybe even top 10. But it doesnt help these guys mission of nailing players/team pairings to randomly guess that if Beasley drops to X pick Team Y will grab him on pure value.
do the Best
Gregory was initially the top pass rusher until Fowler passed him and Beasley.
I am growing on him as we may have lucked into getting the best pass rusher. We can give him a year to bulk up and then look out.
But the drug test likely takes him off the board.
I want Scherff.
