GBN 3 round mock draft 2/11/16

seeing more and more mocks with us taking Jack at 8. and I'm liking that a lot.

No thank you to Theus. I've watched some of his film and I'm not a fan. Doesn't look athletic enough to stay at LT and we already have an adequate RT. I'd be taking either Nick Martin, Carl Nassib, Vonn Bell, Jayron Kearse, Nick Vannett, Chris Jones, or Austin Hooper if it fell that way. The only other issue I have with this mock is that the first two picks are coming off injury and I'm not sure how extensive Fuller's injury was. I like both players though for sure.

I would take Josh Garnett all day over Theus in that mock, plus Harlan Miller and Miles Killebrew, also Will Redmond and Tyler Matakevich.

it did address needs

If we started the draft like that, I will call playoffs.

You better call for a couple more OL instead.

That's what free agency is for.

I'd be elated with those first two picks.

Whom are you eyeing?

Is take that over the Ragland mock draft in a heartbeat unless it was a trade down

I would rather have Cody Whitehair as a LG draft pick. Adam Gotsis, GT/ DT/DE, in the 4th would be a steal. Of course, Miles Jack, or Noah Spence in the 1st....Spence is also gonna be a very special player imho.

It's actually a pretty good FA guard class, so I'd be happy with a few different guys. Osemele, Brooks, Boone, Foster.

I think going the FA route is a safer proposition, and you should get immediate results whereas if you draft a guy there's no guarantee he'll ever give you much, and if he does it could take some time.

Yeah, I like Osemele too.

I'm actually seeing the opposite now. Most drafts have Jack going to the Cowboys at 4 or somewhere else before our pick. Most of the drafts I've seen have us picking Vernon Hargreaves and I think they're going to be right.

Barring any crazy changes in player's stocks after the combine (or left field FA signings), this is starting to feel like a couple of past drafts where everyone and their mother knew exactly who we were going to pick... reminds me of the Pouncey draft and the Tannehill draft, nearly all mock drafts had us taking them and we eventually did.

I just don't see him for Dallas. I think they will go QB either at their pick or trading back some. They GOT to get somebody soon.
RGIII won't get it IMO. They may even resign their MLB and isn't Jack going to be an OLB? I guess him and S.Lee would make a good combo tho. They are also talking WR Treadwell and desperate for CB help on the Cowboy forums.

Just looked again at the Cowboys stuff again:

Needs ratings: QB - 1 / CB & DE - 2 / RB, LB, WR, DT - 3 / OT & S - 4 / C, OG, TE - 5

They are mentioning no QB in rd 1 tho... instead wanting DE/DT, CB, RB or WR. Interesting.

man, I hope theyre wrong then. I'm really not sold on Hargreaves especially at 8. if we were to take him or any of the CBs projected in the first, I much rather us find a way to trade down into the 20s and pick up a lot more picks. I like the talent later in the draft at CB and I think we can wait on them and grab other needs early. Keivarae Russell, Cyrus Jones, Harlan Miller are all guys I think we can grab in the middle rounds who I think could be quality starters in the NFL. Not entirely sold on Hargreaves, Alexander, or Apple..especially in the first.

reason why I don't like Hargreaves is he is inconsistent. Against Michigan, he got torn up in coverage and appeared to even be benched for a few series, while Tabor was out on the field essentially the whole game. Then you put on the Tennessee tape and I don't think he gives up a single catch in man to man, but he wasn't covering any talent. idk if he even covered North at all that game and he is the best WR Tenn has and he's only projected as a late round draft pick. Other than that, I was focusing on his tackling ability and wasn't impressed. He missed 4 tackles that game and any time a WR got his hands on him to block, he was essentially taken out of the play. Complete opposite in the New Mexico State game...he gets beat on a double move which should've been a TD if it was a better thrown ball, but other than that he didn't give up anything (again though, facing no talent)... but he was a tackling machine in that game.
