Thanks again for giving me something to work with. I took a look at my last mock draft and considered who would be available at these positions and where they ranked on my draft board.
At # 24 the 4 players I had left to consider were Melvin Gordon (6th on my board), Todd Gurley (7th), Preston Smith (10th) and Stephone Anthony (22). The RBs almost seems like I could get better "Value" later. I'm not sure what to do with Preston, I could have him play OLB like we did with Mario Williams or I could bulk him up to play DE. Taking Anthony here almost seems like a reach, but I would consider him due to his size and athletic ability to play at a position of need.
#51 WR Breshad Perriman (12th on my board and an "easy" pick)
#55 CB Eric Rowe (15th and the guy I consider at #51), Devin Smith (23rd), Bernardick McKinney (26 and a guy I thought I would get if I passed on Anthony), Phillip Dorsett (27), Nelson Agholor (33), Anthony Chickillo (36 I hoped would be there for me if I passed on Preston Smith)
#82 Bryce Petty (35 didn't believe he's available, but he is and I take him), David Johnson (38 glad I selected Melvin Gordon), Jay Ajayi (40), Alex Carter (45 my Eric Rowe fallback plan), Jake Ryan (48 and I still need an ILB), Za'Darius Smith (49), Ben Heeney (56), Jesse James (64)
#123 Tyler Lockett (42), Tevin Coleman (53), Donovan Smith (54), Chris Conley (57), Tre McBride (60), Mycole Pruitt (61), Jordan Hicks (62), Nick Oleary (78)
#175 Derrick Lott (58), Justin Coleman (74), Tyler Varga (77), Antwan Goodley (81), Ty Montgomery (85), Shane Carden (92), Damian Swann (98)
#211 ILB Bryce Hager (82), Zach Zenner (93)
#216 OLB Kyle Emanuel (79), Karlos Williams (83)
235 TE Blake Bell (73), Wes Saxton (95), Greg Mancz (103)
So, RB Melvin Gordon, WR Breshad Perriman, CB Eric Rowe, QB Bryce Petty, WR Tyler Lockett, DT Derrick Lott, ILB Bryce Hager, OLB Kyle Emanuel, and TE Blake Bell would be my "perfect draft"
Then again, if I had drafted Preston Smith in the first round I could have taken Karlos Williams at #216.
