First 6 Picks - Provide Your 3 Most Likely Outcomes

Trainmaster : 4/17/2018 11:56 pm
No need for a full mock. I seriously doubt the Giant first pick in round 1 drops below 6, so I'll end there. You're allowed to show a trade.

Scenario 1 :

Cleveland - Darnold
NY Giants - Barkley
NY Jets - Rosen
Cleveland - Chubb
Denver - Allen
Indy - Nelson


Scenario 2 :

Cleveland - Barkley
NY Giants - Darnold
NY Jets - Rosen
Cleveland - Allen
Denver - Chubb
Indy - Nelson


Scenario 3 :

Cleveland - Barkley
Denver (Trade w/Giants) - Darnold
NY Jets - Rosen
Cleveland - Allen
NY Giants (Trade w/Denver) - Nelson
Indy - Chubb


I think Cleveland is only picking Darnold or Barkley at 1st overall. Outside chance Cleveland takes another QB at 1st overall. I think the Giants wait and see what Cleveland does. If Barkley is gone when the Giants pick, they'll go QB IF the believe one is the BPA and future franchise QB, else they agree to a trade down. It might involve a 3 way trade, but I don't see the Giants dropping down past 6th overall (likely the Bills are involved in that case). The Giants will end up with one of Barkley, Nelson, Chubb, Darnold, Allen or Rosen IMHO.



Fire away!
There are gonna be trades in the first 6  
Anakim : 4/18/2018 12:05 am : link
But if everything remains the status quo, my prediction is:


1. Browns - Darnold
2. Giants - Saquon
3. Jets - Mayfield
4. Browns (I think they trade, but if they don't) - Chubb
5. Broncos - Josh Allen
6. Colts - Quenton Nelson
Mine - Only gonna do 4 picks  
Saos1n : 4/18/2018 12:06 am : link
1 Browns - Allen
2 Giants - Darnold
3 Jets - Mayfield
4 Browns - Barkley

1 Browns - Darnold
2 - Bills - Allen
3 Jets - Mayfield
4 Browns - Chubb

1 Bills - Allen
2 Browns - Darnold
3 Jets - Mayfield
4 Giants - Rosen
No

I like your 2nd scenario with the Giants getting Barkley at 5th overall. Not sure the Browns would pass on Barkley twice, but they are the Browns.
With a Bills trade.  
Nysportsfn13 : 4/18/2018 1:48 am : link
1. Darnold (browns)
2. Barkley (Giants)
3. Allen (Jets)
4. Chubb (browns)
5. Nelson (broncos)
6. Mayfield (Bills)
No chance in hell  
illmatic : 4/18/2018 1:49 am : link
do the Browns take Barkley #1 overall. You don't get cute if there's a QB you like. That's especially true when you're the Browns. They still get him at four if they want him though because the whole "the Giants love everyone" thing is one big smokescreen for Rosen.

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Rosen
3. Jets: Mayfield
4. Browns: Barkley
5. Broncos: Allen
6. Colts: Chubb

Or if they prefer Chubb to Barkley:

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Rosen
3. Jets: Mayfield
4. Browns: Chubb
5. Broncos: Allen
6. Colts: Barkley

With a trade from the Bills for 4 QBs in a row:

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Rosen
3. Jets: Mayfield
4. Bills: Allen
5. Broncos: Chubb
6. Colts: Barkley

And one bonus scenario where the Giants decide they must have Barkley:

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Barkley
3. Jets: Rosen
4. Browns: Chubb
5. Broncos: Allen
6. Colts: Nelson
Giants dont need a smokescreen for Rosen tho.  
Nysportsfn13 : 4/18/2018 1:52 am : link
He's not even in the mix for the Browns at 1. its Darnold or Allen.
Give it a shot  
larryflower37 : 4/18/2018 2:30 am : link
Browns- Darnold
Giants- Barkley
Jets - Rosen
Buffalo- Allen
Denver- Nelson
Indy- Chubb
Mayfield drops to Arizona.
IF Mayfield drops to Arizona and the Giants trade down with Buffalo  
wgenesis123 : 4/18/2018 5:30 am : link
to 12, the Giants can move up a couple picks and grab Mayfield. If Mayfield goes to Denver the Bears pick gets interesting depending on who drops and the Bears are said to want to move down to recoup some of the picks they gave up last year.
Your scenarios 2 & 3 are never going to happen  
ZogZerg : 4/18/2018 6:36 am : link
- and therefore not realistic - Since Cleveland is drafting a QB at number 1.

Seems to me that you only need to cover Cleveland taking Darnold or Allen at #1 and then go from there on what the Giants may do.

Absolutely the Browns WILL pick a QB at 1, if you want a QB and you have two picks like they do, why on earth would you wait till 4? Take the QB you want, worry about Barkley later, he might even be there at 4.

Yeah "smokescreen" is the most overused word during the draft. Not everything is a smokescreen especially in the Browns case cuz they are not considering Rosen. BTW that should tell you something right there.

Browns would be playing too cute at QB to go Allen. I'm positive they are taking Darnold and the Giants are either going Barkley or trading down.
One of you chaps predicted this.

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Rosen
3. Jets: Mayfield

Which I think makes sense. I also think the Giants and Broncos could switch Rosen and Allen...

1. Browns: Darnold
2. Giants: Allen
3. Jets: Mayfield
4. Browns: Barkley
5. Broncos: Rosen
6. Colts: Chubb

I am not sure where the Bills come into this, but I think the most likely QB to drop to them is Mayfield. I know a lot of people love the guy but I am not sure I even like that player in the first round.

About Browns taking Allen at 1
One likely scenario if no trades  
Rjanyg : 4/18/2018 7:40 am : link
1. Darnold
2. Rosen
3. Mayfield
4. Barkley
5. Allen
6. Chubb

It is boring but realistic. I think it is gonna be kinda wild though. I expect maybe 2 trades in the top 5. I think there are legs to the Browns, Giants, Bills trade rumors. Buffalo really wants to get to pick #2. NYG to #4 and get #22 and a 3rd ( #65 ), Cleveland would get #12, a 2nd rounder and 2019 1st round pick.

1. Cleveland Darold
2. Buffalo Rosen
3. Jets Mayfield
4. Giants Barkley
5. Denver Allen
6. Indy Chubb
I’ll take a shot...

Giants Trade OBJ for the 1st and 4th picks in this draft. They also give Cleveland our #2 this year and our #1 next year.

Giants - Darnold
Giants - Barkley
Jets - Rosen
Giants - Chubb

Who cares who is selected next?
QB at #2  
JonC : 4/18/2018 8:05 am : link
or trade down to #5 for Chubb or Nelson.
Jon,  
Big Blue '56 : 4/18/2018 8:08 am : link
if at 5, your choice between Chubb and Nelson?
eh  
JonC : 4/18/2018 8:13 am : link
gun to my head it would be Chubb, but the 3-4 switch gives me pause. I hate the concept of an OG that high when your QB is 37 and in decline.
My scenario is  
DonnieD89 : 4/18/2018 8:15 am : link
1.) Browns - Darnold
2.) Giants - Barkley
3.) Jets - Rosen
4.) Browns - Chubb
5.) Broncos - Allen
6.) Colts - Nelson

Giants
1. Saquon Barkley - RB
2. Braden Smith - G
3. Kevin Toliver II - CB
3. Kemoko Turay - OLB/Edge Rusher
4. DeShaun Hamilton - WR
5. Bo Scarborough - RB (Short Yardage Specialist)

In the alternative, that Minkah kid would be too high?
Yes

The Browns will take Allen who they will anoint the best QB since Willie Joe Namath (minus the panty hose). They will be named the team to watch and immediately given an A+ draft grade for pure brilliance, but the curse of Art Modells’ midnight exit to Bald-a-more will once again surface. Poor on and off field choices will inevitably force him to join the long list of the Cleveland’s bad moves. Former players and talking heads will eventually say how they knew it all along…

The Giants after multiple, failed trade attempts with the Bills and Broncos will take a player that no one had in the top 25, of any list. The networks will be sifting through obscure YouTube videos to get footage of any play this kid made. Meanwhile DG proclaims his superior intellect has duped the entire league. Inevitably, the pressures of live TV will force them to rebroadcast some sketchy streaming media shot by his transgendered "lover" as said player proclaims being the first NFL player to be openly non-binary. The never ending circus will lead to a protracted hold out because “he” doesn't feel he's being properly compensated with “pioneering money” and ends up co-hosting a short lived, day time talk show with Kate Mara on Oprah TV. The whole fiasco forces Eli to retire and the Giants are left with Webb and a newly signed Colin Kaepernick.

The Jets snag Darnold who with Eli as his QB coach will lead them to 11 Superbowl wins leaving TFB and Kraft once again bested by a NY team.

The Browns second pick is Barkley, who only furthers their draft victory, yet despite remaining quite healthy, struggles to be as good as Ki-Jana Carter was.

Denver grabs Nelson who goes on to be the best lineman drafted since Anthony Munoz.

The Colts pill ladened owner, not to be upstaged by the Giants shenanigans takes the mic from the commissioner and announces Rosen as the new starting quarterback of the Colts.

That’s how I see it folks; oracles only exist in fiction.
I'm only going to do a top 5  
YAJ2112 : 4/18/2018 8:26 am : link
if you think about it, who are the 5 best draft picks of all time?

1 - Browns - Josh Rosen
2 - Giants - Josh Rosen
3 - Jets - Josh Rosen
4 - Bills (trade) - Josh Rosen
5 - Broncos - Josh Rosen

All the teams have a copy of Milton's scouting report and know that he spits hot fire.

If Darnold goes 1 and the NYG don’t take Rosen, the Jets will pounce.
