Mock drafts are just nothing but opinions, they are always correct until the day of the draft, and we all make so many of them, our 20-20 hindsight is always perfectly protected. However there are more misteps in this one than your others. Lets start counting the ways.
1. First by not picking a DT you throw away our chances to repeat before we even get started.
2. You then waste that selection on a undersized, understrength, CB who shy's away from contact and has character issues. Hard to say so much bad in so few words
3. On the other hand AJ Conn is a great pick, except he and Jameis Winston have the same chance of lasting until the end of the 2nd round. If dreams were wishes I would have selected JJ Watt. Wishes rarely come true for the Pats on Draft day and never when they pick 32nd.
4 Yeah lets not waste that 3rd pick on a WR, lets waste him on one who might be blown away by a November gale. We need a WR (if at all) to be a guy who can run deep or be able to fight for the ball even when covered. Bell won't be able to do that Seems to me to more akin to a slot guy and we have those guys coming out of our ears.
5. TBell. - Steve comparing him to Brandon Spikes is NOT a complement. His position on the field is being phased out of today's game. Spikes doesn't even have a job right now, IIRC. Find me a "speed LB" and I'm right with you. Thumpers need not apply. Their day may come again, as the pendulum swings back to the running game, just not soon.
6. Grady Jarrett - That's my favorite pick so far. I love his quickness and he'd be a real find this deep
However this a long way to find a pick I really like or expect to be there
7. This is a good place for a RB but why not a potential 3rd down RB We already have 2 big RB's, do we need 3?
8. Golden is a nice selection. He's the kind of kid who might come in and turn heads, or be gone before September, but that is what makes those outliers so intriguing. Its all or nothing.
9. Please don't draft a QB, though I would love to have a 3rd one on the PS this season to take some of the throws off the our top 2. We aren't going to keep 3 guys on the roster so that pick is a pure wasted of a pick. Better to use it on a priority FA you want to make sure you keep
So here I am being critical of the hard work you did, without out doing any of my own. Unfortunately I can't do one right now, but I will promise to come back tonight and offer one of my own and see how I like it. '
