2015 Mocks

[HPF Bob]

I'd like to see us trade down unless somebody jumps out at #16. The mocks I look at, we could go down to 22-24, pick up another second day pick and add another contributor.

That's not a bad idea

I did a mock draft on Fanspeak.com with the intention of taking CB Kevin Johnson TE Clive Warford and WR Tyler Lockett in the first three rounds. Instead it played out like this :
16 WR Amari Cooper
51 TE Maxx Williams
82 CB Byron Jones
113 QB Bryce Petty
144 RT Rob Havenstein
179 LG Mitch Morse
210 FS Damorious Randall
I wanted a ILB & DT and perhaps an OLB, but really couldn't complain about the results.

I would have to take Preston Smith instead of Duke Johnson. But I like the players.

Just read some of the best news.
BOB interviewed Chris Conley for an hour at UGA proday.
He's a kid I'm REALLY hoping we draft this year, and a perfect compliment to Hopkins. Is projected to go in the 4-5 round, but may go sooner after is ridiculous combine.

Most of the mocks now have us taking a WR in the first round - mostly Devante Parker or Jaelen Strong with one (Rob Rang) thinking we'll be the ones to believe in Dorial Green-Beckham.

I don't think DG-B is a possibility but I have been doing at least one mock a day at Fanspeak and it is interesting how often somebody falls at #16 you didn't expect and that trade-down possibilties are there. With all the trading frenzy that happened in free agency, some draft-day trades also seem very likely. Could the Texans be one?

Would the Browns (at 19) or the Eagles (at 20) be in the mood to deal?

Conley is a sub 4.4 40 guy and that's the kind of speed we need to compliment Hops who's not that kind of burner. Forget about the 4-5 range, and after this kids pro day there's no telling how high he' gonna go. Wonder if O'Brien really likes him that much, or if it's some kind of decoy or diversion to make that big show about visiting him personally at his PD ?
