4RD Mock

[Roy P]

I personally think that the meat of the draft is in the 3rd round. I'd love to have a bunch of 2nd round picks, but it's easier to accumulate 3rd and 4th rounders. I traded down a couple of times. This is what I ended up with....

57: R2P25 QB DAVIS WEBB CALIFORNIA
70: R3P6 LB ANTHONY WALKER NORTHWESTERN
88: R3P24 C ETHAN POCIC LSU
89: R3P25 S JUSTIN EVANS TEXAS A&M
107: R3P43 EDGE VINCE BIEGEL WISCONSIN
129: R4P22 WR RYAN SWITZER NORTH CAROLINA
130: R4P23 CB JALEN MYRICK MINNESOTA
142: R4P35 TE GEORGE KITTLE IOWA
150: R5P6 TE JEREMY SPRINKLE ARKANSAS
168: R5P24 RB COREY CLEMENT WISCONSIN
169: R5P25 C JON TOTH KENTUCKY

I was able to get my favorite QB in the draft in the 2nd round with the 25th pick. I got an athletic ILB to eventually replace Cushing and be able to play in pass coverage. Pocic I would try at RT and put Toth at RG. Taylor Moton and Dion Dawkins were my targets at #70, but they were selected at #67 and #68. Getting Evans to start at FS at #89 was nice. Biegel can be a Simon replacement. Switzer I can see in the slot battling with Braxton Miller for snaps depending on the situation and potentially a Returner as well. Myrick ran a 4.28 - 40, so I selected him to replace Abouye. Kittle was actually me selecting the wrong player, I wanted Sprinkle, who I then selected at #150. Clement I add the the running back committee to keep Lamar Miller's touches reasonable to keep him healthy.

I traded with the Raiders our 1st Round pick in exchange for their 2nd/3rd/4th/5th. They selected CB Gareon Conley.

I traded with the Jets the 2nd round pick I got from Oakland for their 2 x 3rd round picks and their 5th.
