Yes, Poppa, it WAS necessary to start a new thread just for this. The people want to know what I have to say!
Here's my final prediction and hope for next week, Thursday:
Round 1, Pick 14:
Here's my final prediction and hope for next week, Thursday:
Round 1, Pick 14:
- My Pick: M. Fitzpatrick, DB, UA-- Fitzpatrick would offer immediately help in the slot and versatility to play safety and dime linebacker. He's a playmaker and tone-setter, playing with his hair on fire.
- Dream Option: D. Ward, CB, OSU-- Ward is a perfect fit for Pettine's defense, but I don't think he falls.
- Other Options: As I mocked out the first round, the other options I liked included--
- J. Jackson, CB, IA
- L. Vander Esch, LB, BSU
- C. Ridley, WR, UA
- My Pick: J. Sweat, ED, FSU-- Sweat is a supremely talented edge rusher who was miscast as more of a 5T in college. If put in a better position, he should be a much better pro.
- Dream Option: D. Moore, WR, MAR-- Moore's YAC ability and explosive athleticism would be excellent additions to the offense, but I think he goes top 40.
- Other Options:
- A. Corbett, OL, NEV
- C. Kirk, WR, TAMU
- D. Chark, WR, LSU
- My Pick: A. Miller, WR, Memphis-- Miller is a great athlete and really refine receiver. He can play inside and outside and is one of the better route runners in this class. He profiles as a Z or slot and could be a good #2 option.
- Other Options:
- M. Gallup, WR, CSU
- F. Warner, LB, BYU
- I. Yiadom, CB, BC
- K. Turay, ED, RUT
- My Pick: J. Noteboom, OL, TCU-- Noteboom checks the athletic boxes that the Packers look for. He has OT length while still being short enough to work inside to guard if need be.
- Other Options:
- D. Pettis, WR, UW
- M. Stewart, DB, UNC
- D. Armstrong, ED, KAN
- S. Griffin, LB, UCF
- My Pick: O. Burks, LB, VAN-- Burks switched positions yearly at Vandy which never allowed him to settle in to any given spot. But he's highly talented and seems like a natural WILB.
- P. Nickerson, CB, TUL
- J. Moore, WR, MIZZ
- C. Herndon, TE, MIA
