[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 953125, member: 6578"] So I ran over 40 simulations today at The Draft Network and about a dozen at PFF's mock generator. Zero science of course, but was curious what would happen. As projected I strongly feel now at 22 contrary to 28 we are guaranteed one of the top 5 wide outs in the draft IMO that fit our need; London, Williams, Wilson, Olave and Burks. It would seem to be that order as well is at least predicted the most...again nothing of course sceintific...I did cross check this with many of the newest mocks out there by the "pros" at this and it jives that many feel it is Olave, Burks or Jahan Dotson that we will grab. I didn't mind Dotson at 28 IF the other 5 were gone, but my hunch is if the 5 are gone by 22 that means there is a STUD defender at EDGE or DL that I'd take instead. Enough talk here is my recent mock and some in depth reasons or explanations, while a few are brief: [B]Round 1 Pick #22 - Chris Olave WR Ohio State[/B] Once I settled in after all the simulations to see "odds" this exact mock threw two QBs in the first 20 picks which I think given NFL history is likely (Willis and Pickett). That actually placed before me a pick between Olave, Burks, George Karlaftis and Devonte Wyatt. Personally I just don't think Wyatt makes it here so it was tough for me to look past Karlaftis and his freak hybrid ability to be OLB or down inside...in the end I add Olave, and honestly I'm so split between he and Burks that I truly went Olave purely from a route running standpoint - he is more of a craftsman there, but doesn't IMO have the YAC ability of Burks (dude is a beast!). [B]Round 1 Pick #28 - Perrion Winfrey iDL Oklahoma[/B] This pick honestly came down between going Daxton Hill or a choice between Perrion and Leal along the DL.
