Phillys New Years 2016 Mock

[PHILLYTEXANFAN]

1. Ezekiel Elliot RB Ohio State

6'1 225 pouns
2015 stats : 289 att 1821 Rush yards 23 Rush Tds 6.3 avg
27 rec 206 yds 0 TDs 7.6 avg
Running Back is a huge need. 16th overall run offense, but with going RBBC. I am off the Arian wagon seeing Im not sure the team is gonna even get 10 games out of him next year, especially with that price tag. In his absense no other RB has stood up and seperated himself from the others. IMO Jonathan Grimes is the only RB worth retaining next year, MAYBE Hunt. Back to EZ. Great burst, above average in pass blocking. I view him as an every down back. EZ is a player I see as a Home run threat every time he gets the ball. My NFL comp: Rams RB Todd Gurley

2. Dak Prescott QB Mississippi State

6'2 230
2015 stats: Cmp: 316 Att: 477 comp%: 66.2 3793 yards 29 TDs 5 INTs 151.0 rating
Rush: 160 att 588 yards 3.7 avg 10 TDs
Making the 2015 NFL playoffs pretty much guarantees ANOTHER year of Hoyer. Savage is still sitting in the rafters with little experience. I view Dak as an insurance policy who should sit a year or two. Big Arm who got better each and every year for the Bulldogs. Pocket passer who has the ability to extend plays with his legs, usually as a last resort. Big frame as well, so I dont see him as a guy thats gonna make you cringe after taking a big hit. My NFL comp: Fmr Eagles QB Donovan McNabb

3. Austin Johnson DT/NT PSU

6'3 325
2015 Stats: 70 Total Tackles 13.0 TFLs 5.5 Sack 2 PD 1 FR
One of very few brightspots for the Lions this year AJ is a force to be reckoned with on the DL. Im personally in the crowd that believes we need to start grooming Big Vinces replacement since Louis Nix was a big flop. Christian Covington is currently listed as the back up NT, Im niot buying it. I view CC as Cricks competition next year at DE. Nice combo of speed, awareness and strength. My NFL comp: Oakland Raiders DT Dan Williams

4.De'Runnya Wilson WR Mississippi State

6'5 225 2015 Stats: 59 Rec 905 Yards 10 TD 15.3 Avg

Big Physical possesion WR to compliment Deandre. Size will create mismatches versus defenders. Attacks the ball at its highest point. Also above average in run blocking. Also think he can help with the development of Prescott. My NFL comp: TB Bucs WR Mike Evans

5. Jordan Leggett TE Clemson

6'4 255 2015 Stats: 35 Rec 447 yards 7 TDs 12.8 avg
Tight End is another big whole on this team. Leggett has been pretty under the radar for most of the year. One of the more well rounded TEs coming out this year. Big time red zone threat as well. Im hoping this kid stays under the radar. My NFL comp Travis Kelce

5. Robert Aguayo K Florida St

6'1 204 2015 stats: 21 FGM 26 FGA 80.8 PCT49 XPM 49 XPA 51 LNG

I think its time the team stops messing around and invest in a good Kicker. My NFL comp: Vikings K Blair Walsh

I'd be happy/interested to have Dak Prescott as the backup to my franchise QB. Bummer about not having a franchise QB.

I'm a Zeke fan, would be fun to see him here. Still a bummer about not having a franchise QB.

I really like this draft...

 

[PHILLYTEXANFAN]

With Leggett staying another year I will replace him with W. Kentucky TE Tyler Higbee

1. I usually don't like taking a RB early but with it being our 2nd biggest need and Foster being gone, I can't argue against it this year and I think Elliot will be very good in the NFL, also a 5 yr. rookie contract is a good thing on a position that usually doesn't last long in the NFL.
2. Prescott will be a backup somewhere at best. I've heard and read that he compares to Tim Tebow.
3. I love Johnson, but don't think he'll be available in the 3rd, probably gone mid-late 2nd round.
4. I like tall WR's but worry about his quickness off the line or out of his cuts. He lets the ball get into his body instead of extending his hands and attacking the ball. He needs alot of work before he's ready for the NFL. He does block very well, Kubiak will love him.
5. I'm not familiar with Higbee, haven't looked at the TE's much, but overall it seems to be a weak TE class.
5b. We really need a new K, so this is a great pick if he's still available.

Thanks for the feedback. I personally think my 2-3 could essentially swap

I don't think a WR to compliment Hopkins is as big of a need as a fast slot guy like Bralon Addison that may be available in the 4th
