It's Only Happened ONCE!
A month and a half ago, I did a brief mock draft of the Top 10 picks, after free agency made the picture a bit more clear.
My Top 10, in March:
1. Titans: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
2. Browns: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota St.
3. Chargers: Jalen Ramsey, CB/S, Florida State
4. Cowboys: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
5. Jaguars: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
6. Ravens: Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
7. 49ers: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
8. Eagles: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida
9. Buccaneers: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson
10. Giants: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
So what's changed? For starters, Treadwell ran himself out of the top half of the first round. But more importantly, quarterbacks skyrocketed up the board. As is always the case, many of us who cover the draft imagined a world where general managers and coaches have time and job security enough to wait a couple years, or at least a few picks, for the right passer to come along in the draft. Instead, urgency crept into the equation, and the Titans and Browns capitalized on the desperation of two franchises who’ve fallen in love with Wentz and Goff and are willing to mortgage a chunk of the future to land their man.
We should’ve seen this coming. I pledge to do better next year.
Also, mocks a trade UP with the Brown BACK to 8 to get Elliott. :rolleyes2:
[h=2]8. Dolphins: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State[/h]MOCK TRADE ALERT: Browns move down to No. 13
Elliott adds some diversity to a listless offense that finished 23rd in yards rushing and takes defensive attention away emerging young receivers DeVante Parker and Jarvis Landry. The Browns make the deal because they know they can still draft Lynch at 13.
