Day 2 Mock Draft

Sy'56 : 4/28/2017 12:45 pm
Have at it!

*What I think will happen...not what I would necessarily pick for each team

33 – GB (f/CLE)

Dalvin Cook – RB/Florda State

Green Bay gets their target even after trading down from #29 and Cook gets a shot at starting week 1 in a scheme that fits him perfectly.

34 – SEA (f/SF)

Cam Robinson – OT/Alabama

A team in desperate need of OL help gets a guy that was projected to be a top 10 pick up until a few months ago. High upside player that could start at RT week 1.

35 – JAC

Dion Dawkins – OG/Temple

The run on offensive linemen continues, with Dawkins coming in looking to earn a starting job week one. He can compete for a starting spot at both guard and tackle.

36 – CHI

Chris Wormley – DE/Michigan

An upgrade in the trenches for a team looking for a starter and/or third defensive end to throw into the think rotation. Wormley is a freakish athlete with pro-ready technique and presnce.

37 – LAR

Forrest Lamp – OG/Western Kentucky

Todd Gurley is smiling heading in to day 2, as some of the draft’s top OL are still there. Lamp can upgrade the interior right away and all of the sudden this unit could appear to be a strength.

38 – LAC

Quincy Wilson – CB/Florida

With their top target Mike Williams in the picture, it’s time this franchise puts their resources on the side of the ball that needs the most help. Quincy Wilson is a tools-rich cover man that can add size and physicality to the secondary.

39 – NYJ

Zay Jones – WR/East Carolina

Pro genes and an almost perfect combination of tools and skills for a team that has been nearly depleted on offense. Jones immediately becomes the #2 receiver on this team.

40 – CAR

Obi Melifonwu – S/Connecticut

Tools-rich safety that fits in to what Ron Rivera and Dave Gettleman look for in a safety. The upside with this pick is through the roof.

41 – CIN

Tyus Bowser – LB/Houston

A front seven defender that can be used countless ways for a team that needs to reload that part of their defense. Speed, upside, and versatility.

42 – NO

Jordan Willis – DE/Kansas State

The Saints are looking not only for depth at DE, but a week 1 starter opposite the reliable veteran Cameron Jordan. Willis offers pro ready traits across the board.

43 – PHI

Kevin King – CB/Washington

Excellent package of tools, skills, and upside I think he has a legit shot at being the top CB in this class. Nice fit for a team that is borderline desperate for one.

44 – BUF

Budda Baker – S/Washington

The rebuild of the Bill secondary takes another step with a versatile, aggressive DB with more talent than most think.

45 – ARI

Desmond King – CB/Iowa

Whether they play him at safety or CB doesn’t matter, as he could play both and ARI is deprived of young talent back there.

46 – IND

Isaac Asiata – OG/Utah

Have to keep Luck upright and healthy if they want to get even near their top end potential, something they have done poorly in recent years.

47 – BAL

JuJu Smith – Schuster – WR/USC

Physical pass catcher that could start week 1 considering what Joe Flacco has to work with.

48 – MIN

Marcus Maye – S/Florida

Pairing him with Harrison Smith will get the most out of this talented secondary

49 – WAS

Deshone Kizer – QB/Notre Dame

Whether or not the team is confident Cousins is there to stay long term, this present a nice value and a good player for Gruden to try and groom.

50 – TB

Taylor Moton – OT/Michigan

A possible move inside for this mauler but no matter what, Jameis Winston needs to spend less time running for his life.

51 – DEN

Dalvin Tomlinson – DT/Alabama

Overlooked player on te best defense in college football, Tomlinson is a guy that can play all along the Denver 3-4 front right away, a spot they are weak at currently.

52 – CLE (f/TEN)

Chidobe Awuzie – CB/Colorado

Continue to add talent to a secondary that has just been plain awful for years.

53 – DET

Cooper Kupp – WR/Eastern Washington

Stafford could really use a slot presence for his offense, someone that can get consistently open and catch the ball underneath. That is Kupp in a nutshell.

54 – MIA

Jourdan Lewis – CB/Michigan

Perfect fit for a team that needs to find someone that can cover the quick NE slot receivers. Lewis is ball productive and incredibly instinctive.

55 – NYG

Demarcus Walker – DE/Florida State

Has the size, power, and quickness to fit in to multiple roles depending on the situation. Very few defensive minds are as good as Spags when it comes to using a guy like this.

56 – OAK

Malik McDowell – DT/Michigan State

The more presence this team gets up front, the more effective Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack will be.

57 – HOU

Pat Elflein – C/Ohio State

The offensive line was very unstable last year and with an offense that is very much dependent on ball control with potentially a rookie QB, the OL needs to be top notch.

58 – SEA

Ahkello Witherspoon – CB/Colorado

This kid has SEA corner written all over him and the team is thinner there than they’ve been un quite some time.

59- KC

Ardarius Stewart – WR/Alabama

Exciting after the catch, very explosive athlete fits in well with this passing game.

60 – DAL

Fabian Moreau – CB/UCLA

High end athlete with a ceiling higher than most and Dallas needs to keep filling these defensive holes.

61 – GB

Dan Feeney – OG/Indiana

Potential week one starter fits the bill with what GB wants along their offensive line, athletic and reliable.

62 – PIT

Justin Evans – S/Texas A& M

Fiery, aggressive, fast safety that fits the Steeler way

63 – ATL

Bucky Hodges – TE/Virginia Tech

ATL has been all about adding speed and big play ability to both sides of the ball and Hodges, despite not being a blocking TE, gives a good offense yet another option.

64 – CAR (f/NE)

Tanoh Kpassagnon – DE/Villanova

A Gettleman type DE goes to a team that is overly dependent on very old, almost-done pass rushers outside.

65 – CLE

Davis Webb – QB/California

Add another piece to the QB competition puzzle that CLE needs to iron out before next year’s draft. CLE coached him at the Senior Bowl and walked away impressed.

66 – SF

Joe Mixon – RB/Oklahoma

One of the bigger stories for tonight is where Mixon and his PR nightmare lands. SF has had him high enough on their board to warrant a 2nd round selection. Worth the risk at this point considering they have back to back picks.

67 – SF (f/CHI)

Josh Jones – S/NC State

Top tier athletic package to protect themselves against possibly losing Eric Reid to FA next year. If not, what a dup this could be.

68 – JAC

Raekwon McMillan – LB/Ohio State

Excellent thumper inside to add some more stability to a level of the defense that has been shaky and lacks talent.

69 – LAR

Derek Rivers – OLB/Youngstown State

Underrated but enormously talented edge presence that appears to be made for the 3-4 OLB role, the new scheme in LA.

70 – NYJ

Ethan Pocic – OC/LSU

Arguably the most versatile blocker in the class, Pocic could start at center week one or even slide out to right tackle.

71 – LAC

Alvin Kamara – RB/Tennessee

Melvin Gordon can shoulder the entire load himself and Kamara presents the kind of change of pace that could thrive in a wide open offense like this.

72 – NE (f/CAR)

Will Holden – OT/Vanderbilt

There is some instability on the right side and the versatile Holden does have the ability to start early. Very accomplished, overlooked SEC blocker.

73 – CIN

Montravious Adams – DT/Auburn

A nice complement to Geno Atkins, Adams showed flashes of run/pass dominance in 2016.

74 – BAL (f/PHI)

Ryan Anderson – OLB/Alabama

Another edge presence that has a style of play that mirrors the current level of Terrell Suggs. Powerful, nasty, alpha male.

75 – BUF

Dede Westbrook – WR/Oklahoma

A WR with the skill set that is meant for the slot goes to a team that lacked production from that spot big time in 2016.

76 – NO

Curtis Samuel – RB/Ohio State

Sean Payton will know what to do and how to use this swiss army knife type player

77 – ARI

Amara Darboh – WR/Michigan

Bruce Arians loves his WRs big and fast and Darboh fits the bill, a pass catcher with big upside

78 – BAL

Isaac Rochell – DT/Notre Dame

Heavy handed, versatile, hard nosed. Fits the Bal defense like a glove.

79 – MIN

Dorian Johnson – OG/Pittsburgh

MIN has to wait a little longer than ideal to find the right value for their OL fix, but Johnson could start right away.

80 – IND

Tim Williams – OLB/Alabama

Pure speed rusher for the scheme that needs much as help in that department as any in the league.

81 – WAS

Anthony Walker – LB/Northwestern

Another stout presence for the front seven that has been rebuilt since the end of their disappointing season.

82 – DEN

Taywan Taylor – WR/Western Kentucky

Speedy, explosive, big play guy that needs to sit and watch for a year but has enormous upside, good situation for him.

83 – TEN

Sidney Jones – CB/Washington

May not help in year one, but getting a guy this good in round 3, even if its for 2018, is well worth the sacrifice.

84 – TB

Tarrell Basham – DE/Ohio

High upside edge guy that already has the technique and violence and in a pass rush-only role, could really thrive.

85 – DET

Dont’a Foreman – RB/Texas

Big fast and physical bruiser to offset some of the issues they’ve had in the DET backfield. Could be the top guy by end of 2017.

86 – MIN (f/MIA)

Adam Bisnowaty – OT/Pittsburgh

Might as well double on the OL in round 3 because this group was that bad in 2017. Bisnowaty brings the needed versatility.

87 - NYG

Conor McDermott – OT/UCLA

If you are looking for a potential starting OT over the next 2 years, you have to go McDermott here because the pickings get way too thin from here on out.

88 – OAK

Zach Cunningham – LB/Vanderbilt

OAK continues to stock their defense with young, athletic talent with big upside.

89 – HOU

Roderick Johnson – OT/Florida State

The offensive line didn’t play poorlu, but their long term future outside is shaky at best, not a situation you want to be dealing with as Watson comes in to the picture.

90 – SEA

Daeshon Hall – DE/Texas A& M

Adding another edge presence to a group that is more than fine as is, but the depth is always needed.

91 – BUF (f/KC)

Carlos Watkins – DT/Clemson

Underwhelming depth and a questionable Dareus makes this an urgent need for Buffalo, a team that used to be a powerhouse at this spot.

92 – DAL

Duke Riley – LB/LSU

Might as well draft some insurance should Jaylon Smith struggle to bounce back to form and the speedy Riley is a nice backup plan.

93 – GB

Ben Boulware – LB/Clemson

Talk about the lack of measurables all you want, LBs with instincts like this will always find a way to produce and he can be protected in a 3-4.

94 – PIT

Marlon Mack – RB/South Florida

Explosive straight line athlete that has a way of finding angles and creases to take advantage of a defense. Great complement to Bell.

95 – SEA (f/ATL)

Josh Dobbs – QB/Tennessee

Time to get a real, responsible QB to sit behind Wilson and provide the depth needed for a mobile QB.

96 – NE

Jaylen Myrick – CB/Minnesota

They lose Logan Ryan, one of the top slot CBs in the NFL, and bring in one of the most productive CBs college football has seen since 2015.

97 – MIA

Larry Ogunjobi – DT/Charlotte

A nice depth option and able pas rusher to spell the massive Jordan Phillips when he tires on 3rd and long.

98 – CAR

Tanzel Smart – DT/Tulane

Explosive gap rusher with enough ability get on the field right away.

99 – PHI (f/BAL)

Chad Hansen – WR/California

This WR corps needs more sure handed pass catchers that will compete for the ball, and that is Hansen in a nutshell.

100 – TEN (f/LAR)

Ryan Glasgow – DT/Michigan

Stock that defense to make up for such a poor showing in 2016, Glasgow is a gamer that will be reliable day one.

101 – DEN

JJ Dielman – OC/Utah

Versatile blocker with inside/out experience, getting a nice value at this point for a guy that could start year one.

102 – SEA

Delano Hill – S/Michigan

Seems like a SEA type safety considering the speed, range, and physical play.
Thanks, Sy.. Β

Fwiw (not much), rumor has it that Kizer will be in play for GB at 33
Thanks sy Β 
Mike B from JC : 4/28/2017 12:50 pm : link
I like your picks. De to relieve jpp and ov. Another passrush specialist for spags. Then the OT to help the oline keep Eli upright. Like to see a playmaker olb somewhere. Any good 4th Rd olb?
Think I'd rather pick McDowell or Feeney with our pick at #55 Β 
PatersonPlank : 4/28/2017 12:51 pm : link
assuming of course all the players taken before us are as you say
If it fell this way, I'd probably go McDowell and Riley. Β 
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/28/2017 12:52 pm : link
I like Walker A LOT, but I'd take a chance on McDowell's upside and him being more likely to reach it when surrounded by leaders and true professionals on the d-line.

And why can't we have a really fast LB?

I love Kizer, but I don't believe that for one second. They're trying to get someone to trade into that spot.

That's my guess. If Green Bay stays put, I think they go with Kevin King.
Great stuff Sy Β 
BillT : 4/28/2017 12:56 pm : link
Thanks for everything.

With Dawkins, Asiata, and Wormley gone this would be good. Would prefer one of the true DTs in the 2nd. Would Montravious Adams be a decent value over Walker?
Edge Rusher/OLB? Β 
Nomad Crow on the Madison : 4/28/2017 12:57 pm : link
Samson Ebukam! Round 4!

You are probably spot on
Thanks Sy, but I'm confused Β 
mavric : 4/28/2017 1:05 pm : link
Wasn't it you that thought the Giants should target Ryan Anderson in the second? Maybe it was Dave

Regardless, if today's draft goes anything like yesterday - virtually anything can happen and who knows who could fall in our lap
Addendum to previous post Β 
mavric : 4/28/2017 1:06 pm : link
Sorry Sy - just realized you have put together a list of what you think will happen, not what you want to happen. My bad
Wouldn't complain.. Β 
barens : 4/28/2017 1:08 pm : link
.
I'd take Cunningham at 87 Β 
jeff57 : 4/28/2017 1:10 pm : link
if the draft fell that way.
I would suggest that the Jets may go dback again Β 
idiotsavant : 4/28/2017 1:38 pm : link
and again, maybe DT later ...this year. Supply meeting need.

In your scenario, for Giants, then, I see McDowell as an unusually large DE rather than a DT, and believe that we might also take a big nose DT lower down, so I would be tempted to take McDowell, who all agree has round 1 upside, ...if the draft went the way you suggest.

But, again, why taking OG in 1 makes sense, you just proved it possibly, as the tier one OGs are gone by our second spot in your mock, as has been the case in many recent years.
Wow Sy! You must have been up all night. Β

Dave called Anderson his gold slipper in round 3.
from your computer to God's ears Sy. Β 
Victor in CT : 4/28/2017 2:19 pm : link
Walker AND McDermott would make this a major 3 round haul
Sy: re McDermott: Β 
old man : 4/28/2017 3:16 pm : link
If he is the best of a few remaining OL, and the team goes another direction, who or what position do you think they may go, given TE and DL needs were answered?
Thanks.
I think I read SY too much Β 
Lionhart28 : 4/28/2017 4:04 pm : link
I said Walker/ McDermott to myself before opening this thread!

Thanks SY for all you do.
