Mock Draft Monday: Pre-Collegiate Bowl Edition
Free Agency:
Trent Brown - LT - New England - Another large scale investment into the offensive line. A worthwhile investment, Brown is 26 next season and honed his game under Dante Scarnecchia. Can be an ideal fit in the zone block scheme, and protect the blindside of the franchise player.
Rodney Gunter - DT - Arizona - Enjoyed a breakout 2018 under Browns new DC Steve Wilks. Strong and quick, can collapse a pocket. Great fit and a chance to acquire a young emerging talent.
Gerald Hodges - LB - Arizona - Another Wilks addition, providing good LB depth.
Breshad Perriman - WR - Cleveland - Signed on late and played really well, may have resurrected his career.
Draft:
1 (17) - Devin White - LB - LSU - Elite player who plays an undervalued position. Can play outside or insider, but will immediately step into a starting lineup and be a 10+ year player and All-Pro caliber talent. If he's here, he's my guy (especially if they solidify LT)
2 (49) - TJ Hockenson - TE - Iowa - Another player who has elite potential and a refined current game. Best blocker to come into the draft since his former Iowa teammate George Kittle. A weapon that helps both the run and passing game. Will blow out the combine.
3 (81) - Charles Omenihu - DE - Texas - Strong senior season puts him on the prospect map. 6'6 and 275, great length, hand placement and power. Plays all over the line, sort of like Myles Garrett. Presents Wilks the opportunity to move guys around and create a legitimate pass rush. Pro Bowl potential.
3 (93) - Preston Williams - WR - Colorado St. - Left Tennessee and had some disciplinary issues everywhere he's been. Finally seems back on track, and playing at a very high level. If you're noticing a theme here, its HIGH ceiling picks.
4 - Justin Layne - CB - Michigan St. - Big corner who I thought would wind up at WR. Long arms, really good athleticism but needs a fair amount of refinement with his feet.
5 - Clayton Thorson - QB - Northwestern - Good days and bad days, but a smart young player with potential to stick around the league as a good backup.
5 - Daniel Wise - DT - Kansas - Problem along the interior DL. I think he's going to show out in the combine season and may trend to far upward for this pick.
5 - Jimmy Moreland - CB - James Madison - Mentioned him earlier today as showing out at the Shrine. He's got really quick feet and could profile as a future Nickel/Dime back and special teams player. Very undersized.
6 - Lamical Perine - RB - Florida - Crowded backfield at UF, but he's always jumped out to me. Add him into the backfield as the #3.
Depth:
QB - Baker Mayfield - Clayton Thorson - Drew Stanton
RB - Nick Chubb - Duke Johnson - Lamical Perine
WR - Antonio Callaway
WR - Jarvis Landry
