Mock Draft #2<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Mock Draft is after the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine games have been completed.\u00a0 The fact that the Patriots coaching staff spent the week coaching the West Shrine Stars gives them terrific insight into who these players are, their work habits, and preparedness and just get to know them more personally.<\/p>\n

I am again using the PFF Mock Simulator because I think their rankings are better and the ability to make trades is more realistic.\u00a0 Here goes!<\/p>\n

Pick 14 \u2013 TRADE<\/strong> to PIT for #17 and 2nd<\/sup> rd #49<\/p>\n

Pick 17 \u2013 Zay Flowers WR Boston College<\/strong> \u2013 The coaching staff was enamored with Flowers.\u00a0 He only practiced one day and showed so much in that limited time.\u00a0 Flower\u2019s character showed up tremendously.\u00a0 He committed to the East\u2013West Shrine game and he followed through with attending all the practices, interviews, and other events.\u00a0 The East-West Shrine game doesn\u2019t attract 1st<\/sup> round talent.\u00a0 Those players selected usually hear their names called on Day Three of the Draft.\u00a0 Flowers had nothing to prove.\u00a0 He was a potential 1st<\/sup> round pick and his performance in that one day of practice showed everyone.\u00a0 His quickness off the line, in and out of his breaks, left the poor DBs trying to cover him in the dust.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ll admit that I skewered this Mock Draft to see what would happen if I drafted the dynamic Zay Flowers in the first round.<\/p>\n

PIck 23 \u2013 TRADE<\/strong> Picks #49 and #76 to MIN for Pick #23<\/p>\n

Pick 23 \u2013 TRADE<\/strong> #23 to ATL for Picks #44, #75, #110 and #113<\/p>\n

The player I wanted at Pick #23 was taken so I flipped it and ended up getting my draft picks back, and improving my draft positions (49 to 44 and 76 to 75) along with picking up two extra picks in #110 and #113.\u00a0 MIN wanted that pick badly.<\/p>\n

Pick # 44 \u2013 Sydney Brown S Illinois – <\/strong>PFF didn\u2019t like this pick but acquiring a true FS was a higher priority for me than getting OTs.\u00a0 Brown is a ball hawk as he was tied for the lead nationally with 6 INTs.\u00a0 He was also 2nd<\/sup> in tackles for the Illini D.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think there is a better open-field tackler than Brown.\u00a0 He is 5\u201910\u201d, 208 lbs, and runs 4.49 40.\u00a0 He has the versatility to play the Strong Safety position too.<\/p>\n

Pick #46 \u2013 Matthew Bergeron OT Syracuse<\/strong> –\u00a0 \u00a0PFF didn\u2019t like this pick either.\u00a0 Bergeron is a strong LT.\u00a0 Most of the LTs I wanted were gone by this time so I took the Best LT available.\u00a0 He stands 6\u20195\u201d and 323 lbs.\u00a0 Some think he needs to move into the OG position.\u00a0 Bergeron was a Captain and 4-year starter for the Orangemen.<\/p>\n

Pick #75 \u2013 Dawand Jones RT Ohio State<\/strong> \u2013 Doubling down on OTs The massive RT stands 6\u20198\u201d, 375 lbs, and runs an estimated 5.5 40.\u00a0 His weight is reportedly down to 350 lbs.\u00a0 We will know for sure when the official heights and weights are performed at the Scouting Combine.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is a hedge bet against Bergeron being ready to start Day one.\u00a0 The Pats could keep Trent Brown at LT and install Dawand Jones at RT.\u00a0 Can you imagine the beef on the Patriots\u2019 right side of the O-line?<\/p>\n

Pick # 107 \u2013 Zacch Pickens DL South Carolina\u00a0 – <\/strong>according to several sources, Picckens had a good week of practice at the Senior Bowl this week.\u00a0\u00a0 The 6\u20194\u201d 300 lbs Defensive Tackle from South Carolina has incredible talent.\u00a0 However, he has been a bit of an enigma.\u00a0 He has trouble with double teams and doesn\u2019t have a secondary move if his initial pass rush fails.\u00a0 His estimated 40 time is 4.91.\u00a0 He can play anywhere on the DL from 0-3 technique.\u00a0 He received no post-season awards from the SEC coaches despite starting some 32 games in the SEC over his career.<\/p>\n

Pick #110 Andrei Losivas WR Princeton<\/strong> –\u00a0 I am intrigued by Losivas\u2019 athletic ability.\u00a0 He stands 6\u20193\u201d 212 lbs and runs an estimated 4.29 40.\u00a0 If you throw him the ball he will catch it.\u00a0 In the three seasons at Princeton, he had a Reception Rating of 117. 6, 118.5, and 118.0.\u00a0 As a route runner, he is smooth getting in and out of breaks effortlessly.\u00a0 He finished 4th<\/sup> in the NCAA Heptathlon and his 60-yard dash time of 6.71 is a Heptathlon record.\u00a0 According to NFL Draft Buzz, his position coach Brian Flinn predicts \u201d when Losivas goes through the draft process and performs those tests he will destroy them all.\u201d\u00a0 A smooth runner he is willing to go across the middle.\u00a0 Getting off the line of scrimmage hasn\u2019t been a problem, but you must discount that by stating no one tried to press him at the Ivy School level.<\/p>\n

#113 Tyjae Spears RB Tulane<\/strong> \u2013 Nearly every reporter that attended the East-West Shrine game practices mentioned Spears play.\u00a0 As a receiver out of the backfield, none were better.\u00a0 What stood out though was his pass-blocking and blitz pickup.\u00a0 He is Pro-ready as a third-down back right now.\u00a0 He has size 10 hands which don\u2019t hurt.\u00a0 Patriot coaches were well aware of Spears as one of the team needs is a pass-catching back, especially if they lose Damian Harris as I predict.<\/p>\n

#117 Jose Ramirez EDGE Eastern Michigan<\/strong> \u2013 Ramirez was one of the best pass rushers at the East\u2013West Shrine game.\u00a0 His measurable is 6\u20192\u201d 249 lbs and runs an estimated 4.78. \u00a0\u00a0His 12 sacks led the nation.\u00a0 He was the Mid-America Conference Defensive Player of the Year.\u00a0 Another E\/W Shrine game player.<\/p>\n

#135 Trey Dean III FS Florida<\/strong> \u2013 Dean is a big Safety at 6\u20193\u201d and 211 lbs and runs a 4.5 40.\u00a0 A 4-year starter at Florida was a 1st<\/sup> team all-freshman team for SEC.\u00a0 Led Florida in tackles with 91 as a junior.\u00a0 Finished with 178 career tackles.\u00a0 Named Defensive MVP of E\/W Shrine game.<\/p>\n

#184 Darius Rush DB South Carolina<\/strong> \u2013 Another big corner at 6\u20192\u201d 195 lbs 4.56 40.\u00a0 Rush had a very strong week of practice at the Senior Bowl.\u00a0 So much so that scouts are going back and re-evaluating him.\u00a0 He switched from WR to DB as a freshman so he doesn\u2019t have a lot of experience.\u00a0 Special teams contributor at South Carolina.\u00a0 CBS Sports and 247 Sports have declared Rush as the fastest riser as a result of his Senior Bowl performance.\u00a0 CBS Sports stated he could rise as far as a 2nd-day\u00a0selection<\/p>\n

#187 Luke Schoonmaker TE Michigan<\/strong> \u2013 The Patriots have been linked to him for a long time now.\u00a0 \u00a0He stands 6\u20195\u201d 249 lbs and runs a 4.78 40.\u00a0 He was 2nd<\/sup> on the team in receptions in 2022 with 35 for 418 yards and 3 TDs.\u00a0 H was 3rd<\/sup> team Big 10.\u00a0 Some projections have him going as high as the 2nd<\/sup> round.\u00a0 \u00a0It is a good draft for TEs.<\/p>\n

#192 Tyler Steen OT Alabama<\/strong> \u2013 Steen transferred to Alabama from Vanderbilt where he was a 3 years starter.\u00a0 Immediately he transitioned into the starting Left Tackle for the Crimson Tide.\u00a0 The 6\u20195\u201d 325 lb Tackle started 34 games at LT and 12 at RT for a total career of 46 career starts in the SEC.\u00a0 He was the 2nd<\/sup> team All-SEC in 2022.\u00a0 On the minus side, he did give up 2 sacks and 16 QB hurries in 2022.\u00a0 Strictly a developmental type of player that could have a high ceiling.<\/p>\n

#210 Mohamoud Diabate LB Utah<\/strong> \u2013 Another player the Patriots have been linked to from the E\/W Shrine game.\u00a0 Diabate had an excellent game and a week of practice.\u00a0 The 6\u20193\u201d 229 lb, 4.56 40 was a transfer from Florida.\u00a0 The Patriots coaches spent a good amount of time with him and he took well to their coaching.\u00a0 May only be Special Teams players, but we need those types of players too.<\/p>\n

#258 Jake Moody K Michigan<\/strong> \u2013 The Offensive MVP from the E\/W Shrine game kicked 4 FGs, with two of them from 51 yards.\u00a0 We need both a K and P and would look at Michael Turk P Oklahoma as an alternative to this player.\u00a0 Turk was the holder for Moody in the game.<\/p>\n

Morse’s Morsels<\/strong><\/p>\n

League Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that the Super Bowl has concluded here are some of the key dates as we approach the start of the new NFL season.<\/p>\n

Feb 21 \u2013 Mar 7<\/strong> Teams can apply the Franchise tag to players in order to retain their services and prevent them from reaching Free Agency<\/p>\n

Fen 28- Mar 6<\/strong> NFL Scouting Combine<\/p>\n

March 7th<\/sup><\/strong>\u2013 1st<\/sup> Day of College Pro Days and prospect visits to NFL facilities<\/p>\n

March 13<\/strong> \u2013 Legal tampering starts with Free Agents<\/p>\n

March 15<\/strong> \u2013 Start of the new league year – Free Agents can officially sign.<\/p>\n

April 27-29<\/strong> \u2013 NFL Draft<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Super Bowl recap <\/strong>Hats off to the Kansas City Chiefs and their incredible comeback in Superbowl LVII.\u00a0 As a fan rooting for the Eagles, it was a terrific game to watch.\u00a0 Plenty of entertainment and offense all over the field.\u00a0 We have a traditional family gathering to watch the game which enhances the experience.\u00a0 This year I also enjoyed mobile sports betting and had the best day ever.\u00a0 I took the \u201chouse\u201d to the cleaners.\u00a0 Most of those bets were won or nearly won in the 1st<\/sup> half of the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Controversial Holding call late in the game \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am of the belief that if it\u2019s a holding call in the 1st<\/sup> quarter then it’s holding in the 4th<\/sup> Quarter.\u00a0 Referees shouldn\u2019t put away their whistles because it\u2019s a close game in the 4th<\/sup> Quarter.\u00a0 My problem with the call is that the officials hadn\u2019t made a similar call all game.\u00a0 \u00a0I don\u2019t think there was one offensive holding by a lineman.\u00a0 Was it holding, absolutely was, and the Eagles’ Defensive Back James Bradberry admitted it after the game, stating that he didn\u2019t think the officials would make that call.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Arrow Routes <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chiefs beat the Eagles on one simple play.\u00a0 They put their WR in motion and cut right back to where they came from in an arrow route.\u00a0 This takes incredible quickness to accomplish.\u00a0 Edelman, Welker, and Amendola regularly ran these routes and left DBs in the dust.\u00a0 KC ran this 3 times inside the Red Zone.\u00a0 Interesting that the two arrow routes resulting in TDs were the only catches by Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pat Mahomes Performance <\/strong><\/p>\n

Truly remarkable what Pat Mahomes did on Sunday.\u00a0 He ended with a 131.8 rating (nearly perfect).\u00a0 When he re-injured his high ankle sprain late in the 2nd<\/sup> quarter I thought he was done.\u00a0 Mahomes continued to scramble and run in the 2nd<\/sup> half leading KC to 4 straight scoring drives.\u00a0 His overall numbers were not spectacular 21 of 27 for 182 yards and a 6.7 YPC.\u00a0 He had 3 TDs and no INT.\u00a0\u00a0 The fact he ran for 44 yards was incredible.\u00a0 What KC did was run the ball well for a total of 158 yards.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Jalen Hurts had an MVP-like performance as well with 27 of 38 for 302 yards, 8.0 YPC 1 TD passing, and 3 TDs rushing.\u00a0 The fumble and scoop and score were huge plays for KC that kept them in the game.\u00a0 Philadelphia stayed in a zone defense (except for the play with Defensive Holding) throughout the game.\u00a0 Mahomes took what they were given.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy Likely to Leave<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bieniemy has been interviewed many times for the head coaching position and will likely be moving this year.\u00a0 That will be a tremendous loss to the Chiefs.\u00a0 Andy Reid has stated that he will take over the Offensive Playcalling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eagles Offensive Coordinator headed to Indianapolis <\/strong><\/p>\n

Shane Steichen is likely to be headed for Indianapolis as their new head coach.\u00a0 Steichen was formerly the Offensive Coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers and has been the Offensive Coordinator in Philly under Nick Sirianni for the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Derek Carr status<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carr is due a $40.5 option of his contract by 4:00 Tuesday. \u00a0Don\u2019t be surprised if he is released.\u00a0 The NY Jets are salivating that Carr will be released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
