Perhaps we can post our mock drafts to the board every Friday and comment on them. For consistency, perhaps we can all use Fanspeak with it's draft board. Will be interesting to see the risers and fallers. I do not watch a ton of college football, but here is my draft and analysis:

 

 

R1P19

OLB JAYLON SMITH

NOTRE DAME (injury concern, but well worth the wait. Great and versatile).
R2P18
DT SHELDON RANKINS
LOUISVILLE (will be lucky if he is still here in the second round)
R3P17
OLB SCOOBY WRIGHT
ARIZONA (guy who can conceivably start right away at LB. If not, quality depth)
R4P19
C MAX TUERK
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (has played multiple OL positions for USC. Is athletic, Good all-around backup for O-line that is very thin in terms of depth.).
R5P17

S TYVIS POWELL

OHIO STATE (great tackling safety)
R6P17
WR BRALON ADDISON
OREGON (nope, not a "big" WR at 5-10. But the guy is versatile and can score. A replacement/compliment for Harvin as Roman's "gadget guy").
Welcome any comments.

Where can I sign up for this draft. Im.really hoping that Jaylon Smith makes it to #19 but I highly doubt it.

Btw Scooby is gonna be a good football player.3rd round is a steal for this kid

I love your mock but it would even be better if we can get De'Runna in the 4th.

I would love De'Runna in the 4th. I don't think he was available then, or I was looking for some O-line help. Either way, I could easily swap De'Runna for Max in the 4th.

 

Scooby would be a huge steal. My whole draft is basically steals. I think, lucky for us, the draft is deep at defense this year!

These fanspeak drafts are fun, but man are they unrealistic. Rankins just tore up Senior Bowl week...was basically unblockable like Aaron Donald a few years back. I would soil my tightie-whities if he fell to us in the 2nd.

Just wait until the Combine. He'll be this years Paul Dawson.

i don't remember what happened with him at combine. Stock up or down?

 

Btw - did he do anything this year? Bengals, right? Totally forgot about him.

Stock dropped like a lead balloon after running a 4.93. If you want to see how bad he tested, this is him against his peers with more than a decade worth of archived data - http://www.mockdraftable.com/player/4908/

 

Dawson had 12 tackles on 34 snaps this year. Played a lot on ST.

 

Obviously Scooby is a little bigger but he'll test poorly. His 40 shouldn't be Dawson terrible but it might be in the 4.75 - 4.8 range. His 3-cone will be bad too, which is far more important. Like Dawson, he has "play speed" through instincts but he might find himself off the boards of teams that rely heavily on metrics. I like him in the 4th and beyond.

thanks. I like Scooby as a later prospect too. He's a "football player" but not an elite athlete. IMO

I feel better about my ILB depth if it's Scooby and Ty Powell over Reddick/Tarpley, for sure.

 

Not the first ILB I'd target by any means but I'll find him a spot on my 53.

He's the Energizer Bunny. Size and experience probably puts him closer to the UDFA pile but there's something about him.

 

I really hope he gets invited to the Combine. He's definitely earned the right to be there this year.

Yep

 

I'd have no issue spending a 5th-7th on him.

The job he did spying Keenan Reynolds in the Navy game was really impressive

These are my favourite targets for the top 2 rounds. FA will change things slightly but I'm anticipating a veteran ILB. After that, a guard who played tackle in college, a decent WR, my favourite TE and a nasty, mean dude to potentially make Urbik expendable. Would heart this draft.

would love this draft. Getting Rankins in the 3rd round looks impossible now. Will be interesting to see how the Fanspeak board changes post-senior bowl.
