Shark Pool Mock Draft #2 - Let's draft! (1 Viewer)

With the 1.24 pick, the Bengals select

CB Kyle Fuller, Virginia Tech.

What do you get a team with what's already a pretty good roster? Arguably the two biggest positions of need are secondary (CB moreso than S) and both DL and OL. That being said, I'll take the guy who's either the #2 or #3 CB depending on who you ask. Other options considered were Jernigan and Dee Ford.

 
I deleted Ray Finkle's PM by mistake, but if I remember right, this was on the list and I think is the best option for this team here.

1.25 - Jason Verrett, CB - TCU

 
I see Miami is on the clock. Have been driving back to Charlotte the last couple hours so will pick after catching up. Open for a trade in the meantime.

 
KC picks Marques Lee WR USC
I like Lee but I don't know about him in KC.

I see him as a deep threat and someone that can stretch the field and I think Reid+ Alex Smith = dink and dunk (ask Dwayne Bowe owners last year.

Ebron here would not be a reach!
Lee is a perfect fit for Reid and the KC system. If do cart wheels to the podium with this pick.
I like Lee a lot. I have him as the 3rd best wr in this draft (maybe #2) but I don't think he would be utilized with Alex Smith at the helm.

Just my thoughts

 
Miami Dolphins select: Xavier Su’a Filo G UCLA

Miami has to improve the offensive line in a big way this offseason. Outside of signing Albert, they haven't added anyone too impressive. Sounds like Shelly Smith is going to be a starter at Guard and that doesn't inspire confidence. The OTs on the board at this point all have question marks. Filo adds significant talent to the line and should be mature enough to start Day 1.

Serious thought is given to Ebron here as the BPA, but Clay is coming off a breakout season and Miami has added TE prospects the last two years. Quite simply, the OL is too much of a glaring need to take a TE. Ireland didn't realize this last year and it cost him his job. GM Slapdash is not making that mistake at least.

With 1.27, the New Orleans Saints select Demarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB Boise State.

Like his swagger, like his attitude. Nasty for a nasty Ryan D. Didn't like the CB options left and too early to address our interior o-line need. Was deciding between two edge rushers but went with the one without injury concerns.

 
Missed a Trade opportunity while dealing with my 6 month old son...rushed for the pick...pulled it when I saw the trade

With Pick 1.28 the Carolina Panthers choose Morgan Moses, OT - Virginia #KeepPounding

I had another WR in mind which I think will be available later. I don't think the panthers think that highly of Kelvin Benjamin...too inconsistent with his hands like Brandon LaFell. I think the drop off at OT happens much quicker than at WR. I almost went Cyrus but an arthritic knee scares me.
OT is the right pick here. Most important thing is to keep Cam upright and open holes for Williams and Steward.

I took a trade instead....I will go by consensus through....if I'm required to stand pat with my original pick I'm okay with that.....had a screamin 6 month old that caused me to miss my inbox message....

With the 1.28 pick the Browns select Zach Mettenberger, QB

You know what?? The Browns dont need Carr as he is the reincarnation of Brandon Weeden

The Browns grab the QB of their future to go w Matthews and Beckham Jr to build their offense.

Eta: moved up as the Texans pick at 2.01 and 99% take a QB.

I want the QB im after.

Pats obviously would grab Ebron here, I think. ####.
I have to disagree with you here. Gronk was a 2nd rounder and Hernandez was a 4th. Ebron fits their offensive scheme but not their draft strategy. I'd say they go with Nix.

Or trade with the Texans. ;)

 
With Pick 1.29 the New England Patriots select Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame

I thought of Louis Nix but I have a feeling the Pats might be moving a bit away from having the stud defensive tackle as maybe that position's importance is lessening, much as is happening at RB. With the need to get after the QB, I figure the Pats will go this way with the pick. It certainly doesn't hurt that Tuitt is so versatile - a trait Belichick has always sought.

Really like Dee Ford but I just don't think he'd be successful in the Pats schemes.

 
I sent a PM to 8ebok24 that he's on the clock.

Kudos to those who PM'd me that I was up. Just didn't see it earlier.

 
1.31 Denver Broncos select Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State

I think this is the obvious pick. Champ is gone, and Talib and Harris have injury histories. Also considered a pass rusher.

If someone could please quote to enlarge text for me. Having some trouble doing so on mobile.

I will probably be gone until around noon tomorrow. So if the Raiders 2nd round pick comes up before then please PM Andy. I sent Andy a list for the Raiders 2nd round pick.

If we gave up our 2.03 and 3.19 for Mettenberger I would have a fit. It's the Weeden selection all over again. Mettenberger will be there at 2.3. Panic trades kill me.

Ok, fair criticism.

But it wasn't a panic trade - I did it to ENSURE we got the guy I want on this team.

Houston has the 2.01 pick. He MAY take Carr, but for all I know they're also very high on Mettenberger. dont want to risk losing the QB Im after and rate the highest at this point over our 3.19 pick. (hell, I rate Mettenberger as high a Bridgewater, and above Bortles and Manziel)

Im dead serious when I say Carr is my biggest bust candidate. Dont want him. at all.

Im also high on Garoppolo, but Id much rather have Mett after hearing of his recovery

NFL Films' Greg Cosell believes LSU QB Zach Mettenberger is the best prototypical pocket passer in this class.

"Now the question becomes, 'do you value that?'" Cosell asked. "He's essentially a big, strong armed, intermediate and vertical pocket passer with a natural toughness to look down the gun barrel." Cosell also gave some credit to Mettenberger's ability to move, saying he is not a statue and can create a bit of space, and his willingness to make tough throws.
Now, I dont know about you.... but a big and strong armed QB, w good accuracy and pocket presence tossing to Gordon, Cameron and oh, his BEST target at LSU, Beckham Jr.... Ya, Im ok with that.

Stuck with my board, got what I want.

Mettenberger may be your guy, and I agree on Carr as a big dice roll between a bust and or successful. But that is not a good reason to throw away a 3rd rounder. I will bet in the real draft Mettenberger will be there at 2.03.

 
Yeah, if the real draft goes anything like this mock, those teams will be jockeying to get "their guy" in the late first. I don't think a third is too much to give up to move up from early second.

You can bet, but you dont know that he'll be there. There are still QB needy teams that can move ahead of me, and one already picking ahead of me in Houston.

Mettenberger, as I stated is joint #1 on my board now that I know his recovery has gone well and he's tossing like it never happened.

tossing in a 3.19 to ensure he's mine as opposed to losing him and getting stuck w Carr, or McCarron etc... not for me.

 
2.1 Timmy Jernigan, DT/DE FSU

After trying to unsuccessfully move up a few spots to get a sliding Ebron, the Texans take by far the BPA. He will be plugged in at DE as another disruptive force opposite Watt. We are building a championship caliber defense.

Great value, no doubt. But dont know if the Texans pass on a QB, especially w Carr there.

Defense would be monstrous tho

And I think that if teams really like a QB, they will move up to get a 5th year option on the contract...I think that is a huge deal, especially with someone you think might be your 'franchise' guy.

 
I don't think Ebron falls out of the top10 yet all the way done to 30. Don't like the Ealy pick Saber. Yes the Pack needs more pass rushers but Ealy seems like Nick Perry/Datonne Jones all over again. I'd hate to see the Pack spend another first round pick chasing that elusive pass rusher. I think Nix would've been a decent pick there as he could provide some overall line push that's been missing for a while. Jimmie Ward would be solid as well as I see he's climbing up draft boards. In all honesty if the draft were to fall this way I wouldn't mind seeing the Pack trade down.

Mettenberger may be the guy all I am saying is you reached badly on him. Not one draft analyst has him going early 2nd round let alone first round. Looking at the teams in front of you only have Houston who probably will take a QB. They brought in Carr, to my knowledge no one has brought Mettenberger. Also doubt that anyone would jump you for him either since he is projected as a 3rd or 4th rounder with health (acl) and maturity red flags. More like a project for someone else I hope. But you should still have been able to draft him in the 2nd of even this mock. You may be over thinking it and should let the draft flow. Honestly none of the QBs are sure things in this draft, we have Hoyer who is still unproven and recovering, but if we got AJ Macaron or Murray in the 3rd as a project QB so be it.

 
So the 'Skins are up. Must have been a long first round. I'm guessing they just watch RG3 YouTube highlights the whole first round.
