Completed several mock draft simulators, and the only times when it felt good afterwards were when I was able to get Devin Bush in the 1st. White never fell all the way to 20 and there was no trade option. My favorite mock was:
- 1.20 - Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
- 2.20 - N'Keal Harry, WR, AZ St.
- 3.2 - Darnell Savage, S, MD
- 3.19 - Lonnie Jackson, CB, Kentucky
- 4.20 - Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
- 5.3 - Mike Weber, RB, Ohio St.
- 6.2 - Shareef Miller, EDGE, Penn St.
- 6.19 - Albert Huggins, DL, Clemson
- 6.34 - Jahlani Tavai, LB, Hawaii
- 7.5 - Terry Godwin, WR, Georgia
I took too many WRs, but I liked the value and right now the only locks I see in the WR room for next season are Juju and Washington. Moncrief, Rogers, Switzer could all be gone by the start of 2020. Least favorite picks were Weber and Miller, but there was a run on RB and he was the best left, and I think we need OLB and RB depth. Ideally we'd get other options at Edge and RB, but we'll see what's there. I was hoping for Bryce Love, since we won't need to rush him back, and he's a good pass catcher.
I covered ILB, WR, S, CB, Edge, DL, I didn't take any OL, which we probably should even as depth. Also, I hope we get the Notre Dame punter as a UDFA, and some college kickers too.
Took Harry in the 2nd because there was a run on WR and it was him and Harmon left in the 2nd tier and I didn't want to miss out. If we came out of the draft with Harry, Boykin, and Godwin, I'd be very confident that we have at least 2 WRs that will significantly contribute to the team over the next 4 years.
Savage and Jackson are being mocked in the 2nd often, so I felt a bit lucky that they fell into the 3rd and fill two important areas of depth, with the potential to start in the future.
Overall, I'd be pretty happy if this was our draft in April.
