Throw away your mock draft- it's gonna be a CRAZY first round

[futurescout]

Just thought I would post some things I'm hearing..
Top 10
Expect at least 2 trades in the top 10. Most likely to move back are Houston, St. Louis, Oakland, and Tampa. Some teams that may move up are Detroit, Buffalo, Atlanta, San Francisco.
QBs
Bortles- practically a top 10 lock. Oakland, Tampa, Minnesota are the most likely destinations..
Carr- don't be shocked if he's the #1 QB taken. Serious interest by Cleveland at #4. Also real intertest from Oakland, Tampa, and Minnesota.
Manziel- wildcard.. could go top 10 or fall till the end of the first and a team could move up from their 2nd round spot to move back into the first.
Savage- could go higher than Bridgewater.. if I told you that 3 months ago you would think I was crazy.. New England is a team to watch at the end of the first, but he will likely go at the top of day 2
Bridgewater- good chance he ends up out of the first round completely
RBs
again won't be a #1 pick this year.. Hill or Hyde are teams #1 rated back
Players who may fall out of round 1
CJ Mosley, Dee Ford, Kony Ealy, Louis Nix, Marqise Lee
Players who may rise to round 1
Joel Bitonio, Weston Richburg, Demarcus Lawrence, Morgan Moses, Cody Latimer, Kyle Fuller, Bradley Roby

Just know most teams draft boards are very different from the media.. Look no further than Travis Frederick (which turned out to be a good pick) and EJ Manuel last year.. this is going to be the most unpredictable first round in a very long time. Will be interesting to see how things play out..

Here are a few other things.. St. Louis is seriously looking at QB's and could take on as high as #13. If they stay at #2 Khalil Mack is a strong possibility

Atlanta won't have Khalil Mack, Sammy Watkins, or Taylor Lewan on their board. Thomas Dmitroff has yet to draft a player that has been arrested or suspended in six years.

Jacksonville wants a pass rusher but there might not be one there at #3..

Barr to Dallas is a real possibility

Some are saying Zack Martin won't make it to #19 I find that hard to believe

I'm not even going to attempt to make a first round mock draft because it's hard enough to predict who will be the #1 pick (or who will even be making that pick)

I saw on Twitter Mark Dominick (former Bucs GM) said Ja'wuan James is a lock to go in round 1. Has these 5 - Robinson/Matthews/Lewan/Martin/James, all going rnd 1. Interesting as he's someone the media really hasn't included in round 1 talk.

Hmm.. I'm not sure that James will jump Morgan Moses.. but Dominik is far more plugged in than I am lol

Thx futurescout - Do you base things on your own hunches, from what you have read or seen in the media eg Adam Schefter (who talks to representatives from all teams, every day) or do you have other sources? There is so much false speculative information floating around the internet, all designed to confuse, that it is easy to buy into B/S.
You make no mention of Xavier Su'a-Filo. Is he going up or down in your latest rankings? I think that he's still the safe pick for the Dolphins and it sounds like he fits our ZBS system. Welcome your feedback.

This is all from a few people I know in the league. Not gonna pretend I have a bunch of contacts in the league when I don't, this is just from 3 different people. I think XSF is very much in play for Miami, and Kansas City and Seattle are also options. I would say the earliest he would go would be Miami at #19 but could go early day 2

Mack to St. Louis would be pretty interesting- Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers, Kendall Langford, Chris Long, Khalil Mack, James Laurinaitis, Alec Ogletree.. wouldn't be a bad front 7..

 

[hoops]

stupid league if they let bridgewater fall out of round 1...mack to st louis to play what solb??? they have two bookend de's already for their d...if st louis can't trade out they should take greg robinson...seems like a no brainer to me

if mosley falls out of round 1 there must be some serious medical flags...

 

[Zounds]

All of the media "experts" and half of Finheaven thinks we will take Zack Martin, which mean we won't be getting Zack Martin. It should be an interesting draft to say the least.

That was my question. Can you shed some light on CJ Mosely dropping?

 

[FSU Truth]

It is going ot be unpredictable due to the depth in the draft....after the top 15....the players are pretty close so it wouldn't surprise me to see someone drop and someone rise.

 

[hoops]

That was my question. Can you shed some light on CJ Mosely dropping?

i dont have access to medical so i can only go off what i have heard with that...if i did this would be a lot easier than it is...that and could interview a player...anyways dislocated hip and elbow and i think shoulder issue as well prior

he's always looked a little light to me in the pants like he played more in the mid to late 220's even if he weighs more now but considering he can play every down and is a strong cover lb and shows the instincts to read keys and dx plays between the tackles and find the ball if he gets past early 20's i'd say we will have our answer that it was medical concerns that dropped him

i do believe that he will be on the board though at pick #19...really do...

There is still so much time before the draft. It will be difficult to believe any of the "leaked" information. My hope for Miami is to pick someone who will contribute this year and not have any injuries. I would love to solidify both lines once and for all (at least for the next 3 years).

 

[j-off-her-doll]

I have Mosley outside my top 32, so I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him fall to the 2nd - regardless of his medical situation.

Not as productive or dynamic as most draft sites would have you believe.

 

[ButchFragrance]

Id rather have Telvin Smith in round 4 then Mosley in round 1. I know Smith is light but I really believe the more LB's are expected to cover the more they are going to start looking like Smith.
