- Patrick Mahomes will be the first QB taken.
- Jordan Willis and Tyus Bowser both go first round
- Either Gareon Conley or Kevin King will get taken before Lattimore
- David Sharpe gets taken in Rnd 2. Early round 3 at the latest.
My hunch is that you hate me. All my guys from early in the season listed here just to torment me.
You want hate?
5. Haason Reddick will be drafted by the New York Jets
He won't last long.
I'm probably in the minority but I think both could be very good rushing the passer if teams decide to go that way.
SF, Jacksonville might want him too?
I was going to say that that's too high and it probably is, but both employ the Seattle system and he's an ideal Bruce Irvin type so not beyond the realms of possibility.
3.) those fools at the nfl network will not give mayock enough analysis time on the air. And instead we will have to listen to bumbling morons like Faulk, Tomlinson and sanders run their mouth with total nonsense.
McCaffrey and Hunt will be 4th and 5th RBs off the board.
Melifonwu and Josh Jones will get taken before Peppers.

I think you'll end up very wrong on McCaffrey. No 2 RB for sure, could even be no 1.
I like this one. If Michael Lombardi is right on Peppers, I could definitely see this happening.
You may well be right about McCaffrey. I'd certainly rank him first. The question really is whether or not enough teams do.
I'm not a huge fan of either Fournette or Cook (or Mixon). I think they've been overhyped and will end up closer to Trent Richardson than to Zeke Elliot (though I'm pretty sure that the Browns "brain trust" would disagree). Elliot's 2016 success may have created a bit of a beer-goggle effect, I think.
I also think that the projection of Fournette as a Top-10 pick is mostly media-driven, and even the projection of Fournette, Cook AND McCaffrey all going in the 1st seems seems a little "out there" to me, too. Maybe depends on how many GMs/owners are sober enough (or already passed out) to let their professionals go for defenders and trench guys over offensive "flash". OTOH, it's almost a given that 3-4 teams (the usual suspects) will eagerly jump head first into whatever traps there may be.
Peppers is a pretty good athlete. Football player? Not sure. He's a little overhyped in that regard. I think a team with coaches who know what they're doing (and are allowed to do their jobs as they see fit) could make a pretty solid in-the-box safety out of him, given a year or so. I think he falls because there are other guys for which the way forward, developmentally, is much clearer.
OTOH - the Browns.

3. Patriots draft a prospect that nobody has in the draft game or even the forum.
1. I have more faith in the Browns' current front office.
2. The thing with McCaffrey is that he could fit every team, even if it is only as a 3rd down back or as a slot WR. The problem with Fournette is that he only fits teams that prioritise the running game and don't do so out of shotgun. If there are only a few of those teams and they prioritise a different prospect, it's possible that Fournette could slip behind McCaffrey. I doubt it but it's possible.
Well duh!
