This my annual first round Mock. I put into consideration team need, fit for the organization and the talent level of the player. 1. Browns - Josh Allen QB - He passes the eye test as a NFL QB with elite arm talent and ideal physical attributes. He also comes from a pro offensive system that produced a current star in Carson Wentz. Allen also fits the bill to attributes their GM likes. 2. NYG - Saquan Barkley RB - The Giants i feel will take the best player to help them this season. With a healthy OBJ and Eli having better protection I think they can make a run at a division title with the addition of Barkley. It worked for Dallas when they added Zeke and it can happen with the Giants. 3. NYJ - Josh Rosen QB - He is the most polished QB in the draft that has a high football IQ. It will be a tough decision between Rosen and Darnold, in the end it will come down to who they feel can win now and Rosen coming from a pro offence is the more polished player. **TRADE** Buffalo trades 12 + 22 + 1st 2019 to the Browns for #4 overall 4. Bills - Sam Darnold QB - Bills and Browns have a history of trading together and this time it's a king ransom to select Darnold as their FQB. He has all the tools to be a FQB and they feel the turnovers can be fixed with better mechanics. 5. Broncos - Quenton Nelson G - They are beefing up their OL to dominate at the line of scrimmage. Nelson is the best Guard i've seen in a long time and with be a solid player for a long time. 6. Colts - Bradley Chubb DE - They are extremely happy to make this pick as its an area of need and the BPA. 7. Bucs - Derwin James S - James is the player they have been looking for since Lynch in the defensive backfield. 8. Bears - Tremaine Edmunds LB - Chicago gets the best true OLB in the draft and is area of need. 9. 49ers - Calvin Ridley WR - They reach for a player that could end up being a pro bowler and to give Jimmy a blue chip receiver. **TRADE** Arizona trades #15 + 2nd + 4th + 2nd 2019 to the Raiders for #10 10. Cardinals - Baker Mayfield QB - They like to run a spread type system that will be easy for Baker to adjust too. With a good D and Larry the Cards is an ideal fit for Mayfield. 11. Dolphins - Vita Vea DT - They lost Suh and have a gaping hole in the middle. Vea fills the void day 1. **TRADE** Buffalo trades 12 + 22 + 1st 2019 to the Browns for #4 overall 12. Browns - Minkah Fitzpatrick FS/CB - He is great instincts and can fill a lot of holes on D for the Browns. 13. Redskins - Roquan Smith LB - They need a dog in the middle and Smith is the best ILB in the draft. One of my favourite players in the draft. 14. Packers - Mike McGlinchey OT - Without Arod upright they don't have a chance. McGlinchey is a perfect RT that can play LT if needed. **TRADE** Arizona trades #15 + 2nd + 4th + 2nd 2019 to the Raiders for #10 15. Raiders - Denzel Ward CB - He's the best corner in an area of need. Raiders need to improve their secondary to give Mack more time to get to the QB. 16. Ravens - Jaire Alexander CB - Ravens secondary needs help and always needs depth as they always loose DB is seems. 17. Chargers - Mason Rudolph QB - They draft the air apparent to Rivers so he can learn the pro game under him. 18. Seahawks - Josh Jackson CB - They start to rebuild the LOB with a blue chip piece. 19. Cowboys - DJ Moore WR - They replace Dez with a big target for Dak. 20. Lions - Marcus Davenport DE - Add more pass rush on the other side of Ansah to slow down the QBs in their division. 21. Bengals - Rashaan Evans LB - With Burfect always suspended or hurt they upgrade at LB. **TRADE** Buffalo trades 12 + 22 + 1st 2019 to the Browns for #4 overall 22. Browns - Connor Williams OT - The most polished OT in the draft. 23. Patriots - Sam Hubbard DE - Pats add a pass rusher they need on D. 24. Panthers - Kolton Miller OT - Panthers OT are their weakness on offence. 25. Titans - DaRon Payne DT - Add some push up the middle with Casey. 26. Falcons - Will Hernandez G - Need help at guard to keep Ryan upright. 27. Saints - Isaiah Wynn OL - Versitile OL that can play all 3 positions. 28. Steelers - Lamar Jackson QB - They take the air apparent to Big Ben. 29. Jaguars - James Daniels C - Jags upgrade a position of need. 30. Vikings - Orlando Brown OT - Vikings take a player that has potential in an area of need. 31. Patriots - Dallas Goedert TE - With all the talk about Gronk BB takes an insurance policy. 32. Eagles - Arden Key OLB/DE - Philly rolls the dice on a project pass rusher.
His name is Rockinz, he can spell it Hair Apparent if he wants and he'd still be able to pop his collar.
Wow ..Baker the Sooner not even a consideration..? Mason Rudolph at 17 to Chargers. Lamar Jackson for Pitt . And that's it ...hmm..2 also rans ahead of a projected top 4 QB
I think it will come down too who they think can win the job now. Darnold has a higher ceiling but at 20 years old and mechanics that need work I have a hunch they take Rosen the most pro ready polished player.
Arizona is such a perfect fit for Baker Mayfield to be successful. I can’t see them have the ammo to trade in the top 5 for him and after that it’s only the Dolphins that might be looking for a QB so I that’s why I think Zona makes a deal with the raiders and move up 5 spots to get him Rudolph would fit the system very well in LA and has the same type of measurables Rivers has. Jackson to Pitt is a wild card I just have a hunch he’s the guy they like for some reason
I've seen a lot of people referencing winning the job now, as if that is the most important criteria. This pick represents the long haul, and it's all about who can provide the most value over the next dozen years. If the Jets took Rosen over both Darnold and Mayfield, my furniture might not make it thru the night. and then watching the Bills get Darnold to boot.......ugh this would be terrible. thumbs down on this mock lol
Gutsy mock Rockinz..I'll have to say While the whole world knows the NYJ are picking a QB at 3 I don't think there is a100 per cent guarantee what Cleveland or the Giants are going to do That said..I think there will be an explosion of trades after those two picks are in and you have already indicated a big move by Buffalo at 4 ...that DOESNT happens imo if the Giants draft a QB and frees up Barkley..like I've posted before Dorsey wants to pull a brilliant draft by getting their QB at 1 and then Saquan at 4 And look at Gang Green sitting pretty at 3!!!!!....love it ..Darnold Rosen Mayfield who will it be???
Are these the picks that you think will happen, or are they the players you think will fit the best for each team? Teams pick bad fits in the first round every year.
