Your Fournette prediction doesn't bode well for TJ Yeldon.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass with you, but do you really think the Browns are going to upgrade their QB position with Kizer? He's not a 1st round ($$) pick. I'm a Steelers fan, so I would love to see the Browns take him.
I've seen one mock that has Kizer going to the Steelers in the 1st round...no ****.
No way that many running backs and quarterbacks go in the first round. It's hard for a running back to go early now day because of their life expectancy in the NFL and this QB class is not well thought of.
I think you will see a bunch defensive picks, a bunch of o_linemen, a few wide receivers and tight ends, 1 running back and maybe 2 QB' s
I have to say I agree with @Destiny's Child. You do not take a QB now unless they are a sure fire starter from day 1 and that is very tough to do in the NFL. Running backs can be picked up in later rounds that can provide stability for most teams. Why waste guaranteed money that early, go for another player here. I do not know what it is but Humphrey is not a 1st round pick IMO. It is not that I do not like him but if he goes to Philly at 14 the fan base there will crucify him. 2nd or 3rd round I can agree on that. I do wish him well. Williams can be a steal in the late 2nd-4th round. If I am Cleveland, I am trading picks 1 and 12 for a stock pile of picks.
While a couple of your opinions are as good as mine, there is simply no way Fournette and Cook last past the first round. Don't be shocked to see McCaffery go also possibly.
The top 4 of Trubisky Mahomes Watson and Kizer will go higher than many of you are thinking simply based on team needs.
I'll have a 2.0 mock up before the 27th. Will also compare my mock to many "experts" online after the draft to see how this one stacks up.
Hey I enjoyed that you did one and almost all of these mock drafts end up being just dead wrong. No hate towards you, I just have seen this play out a bunch and I just know how they feel about rb's and qb's first round. You can go on a run of QB's sometimes depending on if there is a run early on them but I don't see any of these QB's being a standout, sure- fire, franchise quarterback. I would expect a max of 2 in the first round because you can get a Kelly type player in the 3rd or 4th who is a great value with experience.
As far as running backs, remember Mark Ingram went at 22, Henry went mid second round, Ezekiel Elliot was the only first rounder last year and and all three of these guys are thought of better than Dalvin Cook. Fournette will go as he is a special specimen but might not go as early as you think. These teams don't want to pay all that up front money for a position with a 3 year life expectency when they can get value in rounds 2 or 3.
Big, fast athletic linemen and players on the outside with ball skills are much more rare than guys that can tote the rock for the 3 yards. This is why you will see 6 O-linemen, 6-8 Dlinemen, 3 or 4 linebackers, 4 or 5 wide receivers, 3 Corner backs, 3 safeties, 1 or 2 Qb's and 1 or 2 rbs. it's been pretty consistent
Your thought of 6 o-linemen going this year in the first rd is more improbable than two running backs going first.
Fournette will not get past the panthers if the jags don't take him.
Again, just respectfully disagreeing but you think only 3 corners will go?
I believe 5-8 will go in the first rd. I strongly believe in this corners class.
4-5 wr in first round? Outside of Ross, Williams, and Corey Davis who do you think would be a first round talent?
