This is by far my favorite mock draft so far, but unfortunately dont think its very realistic because i did a few trades (traded back from 14 to 19 for starters), and OT Paris i highly doubt will be there at 19 lol
but still, I think
@BaconGrundleCandy would be proud of this one, I used his PTP board for this one
these were the trades (i use paid subscription of Fanspeak, so the trades are very accurate in terms of fair value, but highly unpredictable). I used a lot of late round picks to move up into 3rd and 4th round to get guys i coveted (and i could see that happening for real with Patriots draft).
- Paris addresses LT need long term
- Darnell gives us a mountain at TE that is exceptional inline blocker and would be a redzone nightmare. Wouldnt have ton of pressure with 2 veterans ahead of him
- Cam Smith is one of the top CB prospects.. had a few choices here, I was very tempted by Julius Brents at 6'4" but hes a bit slower (although his tape is full of him being a very willing tackler, i could see him at Safety in NFL)
- Joe Tippman was a star center at Wisconsin.. he could come in as a rookie behind Andrews and provide depth at G/C.. he would be our future, and would be more stout than Andrews in the center of the line
- Took 2 WR prospects in Rnd 4 and 5, hoping one or both stick
- Sewell is a really good LB prospect, doubt he falls to Round 4 but youj never know
Still doesnt address a stud #1 WR, but we could still do a trade to make that happen
