Hall of Fame
I wanted to do a mock before the draft tomorrow. Hope you enjoy:
Round 1, Pick 1: Jadeveon Clowney - DE - South Carolina
Best player in the draft. We would have two absolute beasts at DE with Clowney & Watt.
Round 2, Pick 33: Jimmy Garoppolo - QB - Eastern Illinois
Excellent passing vision with quick eyes to scan and a quick, natural delivery. Smart and executes the offense well. Quick feet to evade pressure and very good touch and overall placement. Level-headed and always under control with a strong leadership presence. Elite production as a four-year starter at the FCS level.
Round 3, Pick 65: Billy Turner - OT - North Dakota State
Athletic with good shuffle to protect the edge, staying light on his feet to mirror. Good set up quickness, patience and reflexes with body coordination and bend. Strong at the point of attack with powerful initial jolt. Looks to punish and plays with a mean, nasty temperament. Energetic finisher and plays through the whistle.
Round 4, Pick 101: Justin Ellis - DT - Louisiana Tech
Sitting at a squatty 6'1", 350 lbs, Ellis looks every single pound of that on tape. He looks like Vince Wilfork against La Tech's lesser competition: constant push in the passing game and absolute domination between the tackles. He looked outstanding at the East/West game, as well.
Round 4, Pick 135: Anthony Steen - OG - Alabama
Possesses a thick, compact frame ideal for winning leverage battles in the trenches. Surprisingly quick, both when asked to slide laterally in pass protection, as well as when coming off the line downhill in second-level pursuit. Fundamentally and technically solid in pass protection exhibiting patience to sit, punch and slide with good pad. Keeps his head on a swivel and displays good awareness.
Round 5, Pick 141: Terrence Mitchell - CB - Oregon
Sports a lean, athletic frame with long arms and a gambling mentality that can result in big plays. Fluid hips to change directions and shows good acceleration out of his turns to run with receivers across the middle or downfield. Alert defender who reads the quarterback and receiver, responding well when the ball is in the air. Very confident in his ability to close.
Round 6, Pick 177: Andre Williams - RB - Boston College
Williams is thickly-built with terrific balance to pick up yards after contact, lowering his pads and driving forward for every yard he can get. Shows good build up speed and enough quickness to pick his way through the crowd. Was a workhorse for Boston College, to the tune of 2,177 yards last year.
Round 6, Pick 181: Zack Kerr - DT - Delaware
If there was ever a poor man's Dontari Poe, you're getting pretty close to him with Kerr. Kerr is a surprising athletic man for somebody who's 6'1", 326 lbs. He's got a complete skillset. This guy has future Pro Bowl written all over him.
Round 6, Pick 211: Colt Lyerla - TE - Oregon
Physical marvel with excellent athleticism, good hand-eye coordination and toughness after the catch. Possesses impressive straight-line speed, as well as the agility and balance to operate in space. Attacks defenders as a run-blocker.
Round 7, Pick 216: Nat Berhee - SS - San Diego State
Good awareness. Reads the quarterback and steps towards the plays as it unfolds. Light feet and fluid hips allowing him to change directions quickly showing natural coverage skills. Breaks on the ball well. Avoids blockers, showing good flexibility to slip past them and make physical tackles in the open field.
Round 7, Pick 256: Jeoffrey Pagan - DE - Alabama
Built like a Coke machine (6-4, 310 lbs)- wide and heavy - and is just as difficult to move. Anchors well at the point of attack due to size and strength. Pops the offensive lineman with a strong initial punch and shows good patience to wait for the running back to come to him. Active hands and shows surprising burst to close when he gets a free lane. Good recognition of where the ball is going and pursues with passion.
