My first 5 round fanspeak mock draft...

BlueLou'sBack : 2/22/2020 10:23 am
Not too complicated, went for players I have seen or believe in first, then used what looked like silly value levels. No trades at all.

1) Okudah CB OSU
2) Baun LB Wisconsin
3) Bryan Edwards, WR, So Car
4) Cesar Ruiz, OC, Michigan St
5) Ben Bartch, OT, St John's (Mn)

IMO my top 4 picks are day 1 starters, except Edwards who will have to earn something or wait till one or another starter goes down for a bit... But Edwards will be groomed immediately to be our next "X" we.

Bartch is slotted behind Solder for 2020, but has all the athleticism one could want in an OLT prospect. In HS this kid ran high hurdles, threw shot and discus, in college he spent 1-2 years as a TE so he's VERY inexperienced at OT. But he stood out at the SR Bowl practices...

I guess looking at what I did I figure DG's gonna sign Conklin and maybe Ngakoue as well, along with Williams.

Love the Ruiz pick

I think he’s the best center in college

I’m also a fan of trading down
that would suck

no edge rusher or Tackle those are the weak points of this team.
Edwards

Broke his foot recently training for the combine.
These are good picks, but only if we fill the holes at  
Spider56 : 2/22/2020 10:30 am : link
OT and ER thru free agency.
Bartch  
Chocco : 2/22/2020 10:30 am : link
Looked great at Senior Bowl practices, didn't get into the game due to a small injury. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go a little higher,but would love it if the Giants got him there.
I laugh at these every year.

I get the fascination with it as it is entertaining but almost always unrealistic. And, yes, that would be an insane draft.
Like it a lot,  
Simms11 : 2/22/2020 10:35 am : link
but would Ruiz still be around in the 4th? He's considered the top Center in the draft.
Well the board gave me those options.  
BlueLou'sBack : 2/22/2020 10:39 am : link
The first 3 rounds are realistic in terms of possibility IMO.

It's Ruiz in round 4 and Bartch in round 5 who represent massive strokes of luck, I think.

Thanks for the info. Terrible news for the young man. I really liked his game. He had some Antwan Bolden in his DNA.

Is that the love child of Antwaan Randle El and Anquan Boldin?

Do you really think the best center in college will go in the 4th round?

No I don’t
1. Others think Biadawz and Hennessy are better
2. That’s why I love the pick. He’s a steal in the 4th round
Since the league put free agency before the Draft...  
Torrag : 2/22/2020 12:16 pm : link
it's semi pointless to proffer your picks with no context. Who we acquire in free agency will directly impact our Draft strategy.
Cesar Ruiz  
jacob12 : 2/22/2020 12:21 pm : link
Cesar Ruiz was told by the NFL that he will be drafted in the first 2 rounds. Mel Kiper and Dane Brugler project Ruiz as a low first-round pick.
jacob don't bother...  
Torrag : 2/22/2020 12:29 pm : link
the fanspeak board is a joke. Always has been yet guys insist on offering up these unrealistic mocks all Draft season.

I'm not arguing their board, but are any of the other 4 selections even moderately unrealistic? Certainly not the first 3 round picks.
And Bartch is a wild card too.  
BlueLou'sBack : 2/22/2020 1:04 pm : link
I don't think he'll last to round 5, but then I like him, whereas others think he's a project and projects to OG.

He's not crazy unrealistic.

Maybe not after free agency!
Ruiz won't last  
DavidinBMNY : 2/22/2020 5:00 pm : link
Fanspeak must have him way under rated.
But it's a good draft other wise  
DavidinBMNY : 2/22/2020 5:01 pm : link
in my opinion.

A more realistic redo would be
1) Okudah
2) Baun
3) Ruiz
4) Bartch
5) Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin

I'd be down with that as well, although Edwards is a prize who seems bound to slide in this draft.
