Post Combine Forum Mock Draft

I agree that there is no one player screaming out here. I also agree I'd be advocating a trade down here while I wanted to make the pick at 29.

If we stay we can get our pick of the centres. Will Sutton is intruiging but he's a boom or bust prospect. Demarcus Lawrence is interesting too but I don't quite see where he fits if we continue with the 4-3, but he maybe the most talented player left. Think Davante Adams is worth the pick too. I don't like Baptiste at all. I liked Breeland but his speed has put me off at this point. I like Watkins later on instead.

This is an interesting exercise as it shows where the value is in the draft. I think it's in the 30-50 range. I'd now be very much in favour of trading down from 29 and then using a pick to trade up from 61 to a similar range.
 
Wish there was a tight end possible to pick here but really slim pickings at this point. I'll go with:

1- Joel Bitonio
2-Scott Crichton
3- Dion Bailey
 
I've decided on:

1. DeMarcus Lawrence (best player left on the board in my view and you can never have enough pass rushers)
2. Marcus Martin (although I admit I haven't studied all the centres closely)
3. Davante Adams.

I would put Carlos Hyde in here if I hadn't devalued the RB position.
 
No clear favorite, but:

1. Brandon Thomas. I think he's a top 40 value, who may end up as good as Zach Martin.
2. Joel Bitonio. I think he's a 5 position lineman and a perfect fit.
3. Will Sutton. It's a Russian roulette pick, but he's the best penetrating 3-tech after Aaron Donald and Dominique Easley.

Strong consideration to Bashaud Breeland, Scott Crichton, Donte Moncrief, Jake Mewhort, Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson.
 
1. Bitonio
2. Jean-Baptiste
3. Richburg

This is kind of a "reverse Belichick" suggestion since BB's history seems to be BPA in the 2nd. However my list is predicated on Shazier as BPA in the 1st of this mock.
 
1. Donte Moncrief
2. Joel Bitonio
3. Travis Swanson.

My picks - K. Martin, UNC, Baptiste, Richberg. I want Zumwalt in the 3rd

1. Donte Moncrief WR
2. Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB
3. Marcus Martin C

5 out of 8 voters had Joel Bitonio ranked either 1st or 2nd. More consensus so far than I would have expected.
 
1. Donte Moncrief
2. Jean-Baptiste
3. Marcus Martin
 
Am I the only one who thinks Jean-Baptiste is being hugely overrated? I might pick him in the 5th.
 
Wow, did everyone just pick each others binkies out of spite?

No one I like is left. But I don't want to see a wr taken here I'll vote to help prevent it.

Joel Bitonio
Will Sutton

The Pats take Joel Bitonio at 62. Denver is on the clock.
 
Taking Shazier in round one kills Christian Jones which is the person I really want to take.

I agree. I would have been happier trading back from 29 if that had been an option, taking Dominique Easley and getting an extra 4th, and then taking Christian Jones at 62.
 
As no one has picked ... the Denver Broncos take Demarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB, Boise St.

Seattle is on the clock.
 
The Seattle Seahawks select Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers. The Houston Texans are OTC

The Seahawks are reportedly interested in Coleman. Moncrief would have made sense too.
