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?

I have drafted Amari Cooper and Kevin White. As well as Bud Dupree and Randy Gregory. Even Shane Ray could fall after his Pro Day.

I have either done the same or had the opportunity. My eyes popped when it was Gregory. As much as I wanted to draft a WR in the first, I chose Gregory. I've seen him go as early as #3 in some mocks. Imagine if we could throw him, Watt, Wilfork, Cushing and a healthy Clowney at teams?

Here's a fairly representative sample. Keep in mind that this is before the comp picks are announced and without much study of lower-round prospects. When it got to 16, Devante Parker was available but there were also some good defensive players and Jaelen Strong was still on the board so I traded down with Cincinnati to #21 and acquired their third-rounder, thinking I still had Strong if I lost out on Parker. Instead, Parker was still there.

#21 - (from CIN) Devante Parker, WR, Louisville
#51 - Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
#82 - Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon (if Myers isn't re-signed, we need a C behind Ben Jones)
#85 - (from CIN) Jesse James, TE, Penn St. (for O'Brien)
#113 - Chris Hackett, S, TCU
#144 - Chris Conley, WR, Georgia (since he's still there and we publicly courted him)
#179 - Quandre Diggs, CB, Texas (fell off a bit as a senior but has NFL talent)
#210 - Chucky Hunter, DT, TCU

I have my doubts about Conley but the others could realistically be there at that point of the draft.

I am a bit skeptical of some of the draft boards that I am seeing them use. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Yet it is nice to see some of the possibilities. I also use it to verify when I like a player too much and draft them in the 3rd round and see them consistently being drafted in the 5th or 6th round if I pass on them. I have used four different draft boards and these are some of the permutations :

1st round - Amari Cooper, Bud Dupree, Jaelen Strong, Kevin White
2nd round - Clive Walford, Laken Tomlinson, Preston Smith, Kevin Johnson
3rd round - Henry Anderson, Ali Marpet, Philip Dorsett, Xavier Cooper
4th round - Anthony Chickillo, Donovan Smith, Eric Rowe, Steven Nelson
5th round - Bryce Petty, Jesse James, Ben Heeney, Kwon Alexander
6th round - David Johnson, Derrick Lott, Tre McBride, Damarious Randall
7th round - Jake Ryan, Xavier Williams, Mitch Morse, Shane Carden

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 ?
