Mock 2.0
31 - Connor Williams, OT, Texas
It’s maybe wishful thinking that he’s available at 31. I’ve seen some mocks where he’s available at 31 and some where he’s taken in the 15-20s. So who knows, but I think he has the makings of a plug and play OT who, if the worse comes to the worst could be a top quality LG. But I think he can give us quality snaps at LT this year.
43 - Alonzo Carter, LB, Georgia
This defense needs some athleticism in the front 6/7 and Carter has that in spades. B.B. hasn’t shied away from elite athletes in the past (see Collins, Jamie) and I see Carter in a similar light.
63 - Kyle Lauletta, QB, Richmond
Doesn’t need much explanation. As things stand OT, LB and developmental QB are the top three needs as far as I’m confirmed (I can see the arguments against QB though).
95 - Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
I have CB as the fourth need but could accept switching it with developmental QB. Yiadom can play press and is a good tackler, a must for a Patriots DB. I don’t know if he’ll have the Patriots’ preferred athleticism but he’s a special teams cover specialist, no small thing when picking at this point in the draft. Nice length too at 6’ with 32” arms.
136 - Jeremy Reaves, S, South Alabama
Gutted that I couldn’t have Justin Reid in this mock but whilst Reaves isn’t necessarily the same guy, he does offer a similar versatility to Reid in the defensive backfield. He’s played CB and safety and could, in theory, be backup at every position at CB and safety. And he hits like a freight train. A definite binky of mine.
Rnd 6 (from Raiders) - Genard Avery, LB, Memphis
He’s very athletic for a 250lb linebacker. He’s not a finished product by any means - he has some play anticipation issues), but his size/athleticism combo is a heady mix. Another binky.
219 - Joe Ostman, DE/OLB, CMU
Undersized at 6’2” and 250 But has average to good athleticism (34.” Vert, 7.09 3-cone). But he has been very productive based largely on effort and hand usage. Nink isn’t a bad comp.
No TE?
