2027 Mock Drafts

[Clonamery]

Just for reference, on the nflmockdraftdatabase.com big board, here's where those prospects sit.

Ellis Robinson - 14
Will Echoles - 38
KVA - 33
Jaccarius Peak - 78
Koi Perich - 41
Ty Benefield - 70
Nyck Harbor - 76
Nate Frazier - 73
Boubacar Traore - 68
Rawls - 761

I'd love to know who the PFSN simulator has in the top 100 if all those prospects sit outside it.

BTW, I’m not saying one is right over the other.

Youngsters and lots of WRs.

I don't agree with many the PFSN rankings:

- Robinson about right
- Peak hard to evaluate given injury
- Echoles (68), KVA (90), Perich (115) and Benefield (150) way too low.
- I won't even comment on Boubacar Traore at 269

The NFL mock database is more in line with my thinking. Koi Perich at 40 may be a tad high for now. 70 too low for Ty Benefield. Boubacar Traore hard to assess right now, but I think he's probably a top 100 talent.

PFSN didn't really get it together until after the players announced who was staying and who was going.

Used the NFL Mock Draft Database simulator instead of PFSN. Has the Pats picking at 22. Traded around a bit and got:

28. Will Echoles, IDL, Ole Miss (36)
54. Jacarrius Peak, OL, S. Carolina (62)
86. Jelani McDonald, S, Texas (92)
92. Chris Cole, LB, George (114)
122. Dashawn Spears, S, LSU
139. Ray Coney, LB, Texas A&M

I suspect Cole, Echoles, Peak and McDonald will all be near the top of my Short Board a year from now.

Frustrating. I was running a mock targeting Ray coney in the 4th and Peter Temple in the 5th. I missed out on both by one pick so I left it as a four rounder mock. I was very happy with how it went, Temple and Coney excepting.

22. Chris Cole, LB, Georgia
54. Brice Pollock, CB, Texas Tech
86. Jelani McDonald, S, Texas
122. Whit Weeks, LB, LSU

I really like what that would do to our defense with Cole also adding edge rush.

"Peter Temple" = Peter Clarke from Temple, I presume.

Clark with an 'e' upsets the whole American algorithm.

"Peter Temple" = Peter Clarke from Temple, I presume.

No. Peter Temple from Clarksville.

IDK if we will even have a first rounder. But when i start doing draft prep i look at the core players first (over the next 2+ years) and go from there. When I use the term core i mean longer term solid starters you don't look to upgrade.
There spots up for help. On offense OG (after Onwenu leaves) WR (Even if we trade for Brown i think this is Hollins last year... Douglas too if he is even here). I am hopefully we solved C, OT, TE, RB and QB.

On defense DE (Landry will not be here after this year) Jacas will hopefully be good but we need a 3rd option unless he turns into a star and Ponder is a solid back up. LB (I think Elliss is gone after this year and Spillaine is a bit older. CB (Davis seems over paid and frankly we will be paying Gonzo/Jones already... so be nice to not have to pay our entire secondary elite contracts. S. We need a long term running mate for Woodson. DT is really the only spot on D i feel solid about.

My ideal right now would be pretty close to this, assuming IOL is addressed in FA (Ikem Ekwonu please).

A slight variation:

1. Chris Cole, LB
2. Jelani McDonald, S (not sure he'll last to R3)
3. Demello Jones, CB
4a. Ray Coney, MIKE
4b. (Trade up) Peter Clarke, TE

I'd love to find a way to add EDGE or IDL, but this seems pretty solid.

You could play Cole as your passing down edge rush specialist. Jones-Jacas-Ponder-Cole and maybe Swinson isn't half bad.

That's part of why I rate a LB like Cole so high. He's above-average or better not just at mainstay LB tasks - play recognition, spying, sideline-to-sideline tackling, taking on blockers, tackling- but also as a pass rusher and in coverage. He has the ability to impact at all 3 levels of the defense, and to tie them together. KVA qualifies as well, though I think Cole has more athleticism and upside.
