Leonard Williams at #2 eh?, how mad would it be were TN to trade the #2 pick and their no. 1 in 2016 to SD for Rivers? were that to happen would SD still pick Williams or go with Mariota?

nasty_crash · 26-03-2015 11:28am

they would pick mariota - the only reason they would trade rivers is for mariota!
Imagine if saints traded brees..... never happen but mariota could go there!!

It's a pure guess really.

If the Titans think Mariota is a franchise QB, he's the pick without question. If not, it's a trade to somebody who does or Williams. I think there's too many questions to predict them picking Mariota. Reports that he's not Wisenhunt's type of qb, they seem to like Mettenberger etc. Picking Mariota probably doesn't make them noticeably better this season IMO, whereas Williams is an immediate upgrade.

Jovetic · 26-03-2015 6:51pm

Ten minutes are up, who's next!

recylingbin · 27-03-2015 3:56am

Don't know which thread to pick in...
But I'm going for Teddy Bridgewater.
I think he'll end up at the bears. And if he does, he'll play. And he'll do well.
(Is it obvious that I'm rimming it?)

mikemac1 · 27-03-2015 9:00am

Are you going to make the pick or are you just trolling us here?

HigginsJ · 27-03-2015 9:27am

Brandon Scherff to the Jags at 3. Bit of a reach?

nasty_crash · 27-03-2015 11:40am

scherff at number 3.... unlikely methinks!!!

phatkev · 27-03-2015 12:06pm

I had Scherff on my big board for the 49ers pick, didnt think he would ever fall to 15 but no way did i think he'd be gone in the top 5. with Williams gone I thought they would have went with an edge rusher, as its a major need and theres alot of high end talent left on the board

Leslie91 · 27-03-2015 12:54pm

Yeah I look at Scherff and can't help but think he is Robert Gallery 2. And Gallery looked better in college. That's a big reach to go Scherff at 3 for me.

mikemac1 · 27-03-2015 1:04pm

Prefab Sprouter is going to step in and make the Raiders pick

Being a Raiders fan n'all it's sure to be a good one

I think I've seen at least 6/7 mocks have Jags taking Dante Flower, Schreff is an interesting pick - but that's the joys of the draft, who know's what in the GM's minds!!!

This GM here for example hasn't a clue who the Chiefs will be picking in a few days time... And the Bills in the 2nd, Do I have to try to think like Rex???

Good pick prefab defo between Cooper and White there.

Scherff is just a surprise a I havn't come across it as a pick. The "experts" seem to have him to either us or the Rams.

Tough one to call but I would go Cooper as well. He has everything you want to step in and help Carr straight away.

If Al was around it would obviously be White over Cooper but if McKenzie has sense he will ignore tradition.

tripperman · 27-03-2015 3:50pm

Cooper is a good choice for raiders will give Carr a great target straight off and red zone threat which there lacking, jags do need ol draft but pass rusher in first Fowler was what I thought, he's not far behind williams in talent

Prefab Sprouter · 27-03-2015 4:56pm

McKenzie is under serious pressure. He needs to have a really good draft but thankfully the WR class is promising.

nasty_crash · 27-03-2015 4:57pm

i think raiders will have more out of cooper - he can play in the slot! he also wants to be on the ball - he had a huge amount of plays in alabama and has an air about him when he gets the ball that he can beat players!! i think cooper is the better choice of wr - good pick!

You can take mine Cookie, I won't be able to put as much time into write ups as I would have liked.

mikemac1 · 28-03-2015 11:13pm

GMs can edit their posts later . No problem to add the selection on your phone but if can you add pics & videos later that'd be great. Tbh it's expected

Jets GM pm'ed, a lot of other GM's watching this pick!!

Onecoolcookie now a GM

Jags taking a guard at #3

Not having a go at anyone and I know it's all only a bit of fun but a case of line jumping no? After the 32 GM's, myself and two others expressed interest in taking part so by my reckoning if Jamarcus isn't taking part gufc21 should be asked if he's still interested? He was no. 33 to express interest. Fair play to mikemac putting all together though....enjoy following this every year.

And on the draft itself....Scherff at 3 to the Jags??? I'd be astounded if Bradley doesn't go for the marquee defensive player he so badly needs.

mikemac1 · 29-03-2015 1:17am

You are correct and I didn't check GMs 33 onwards

We need a GM for the Jags at pick 36 due to a troll signing up so that'll be offered down the list

phatkev · 29-03-2015 1:49am

I like the Fowler pick for Washington, gives them a nice pass rushing rotation at the LB position along with Kerrigan and Murphy. the QBs of the NFC East will have to be on their toes!

Paully D · 29-03-2015 11:18am

The Jaguars have blown the draft wide open at #3 already, and though there has been some criticism of the pick and not one I would have made, I can understand why Frostie when for it. Offensive line is a huge need for the Jags (despite investing lots of high picks on offense lately), they've made a significant investment in Bortles and they definitely need to protect him better. In addition to that, their run game ranked in the bottom 5 in most of the major categories last year and that is an area where really Scherff excels at. Sophomore QB and no run game isn't exactly promising! It's not a sexy pick but he's the best offensive lineman in the draft and the Jags would get a major upgrade at a problem position that will plug straight in and play to a high level for as long as he's there. I'd have gone for an edge rusher however, though I have seen Scherff mocked as high as Washington at #5 by a respected NFL writer.

Also, any chance we can speed things up a bit lads? If we keep going at the rate we are going at (5 picks in 4 days), we'll barely get the first round finished before the actual draft starts! :pac:

Jovetic · 29-03-2015 12:31pm

Take a guard in the second if you like, I'd trade down or go BPA if I'm the Jags at #3. I'd take Fowler at #3

phatkev · 29-03-2015 12:53pm

Mariota at 6 is the source of my nightmares!

Jovetic · 29-03-2015 12:55pm

A serious upgrade on Geno though. :cool:

phatkev · 29-03-2015 12:59pm

He may be an upgrade, but the Jets should be drafting best player available at 6 and that would not be Mariota imo

Jovetic · 29-03-2015 1:14pm

Mariota gives them a chance to compete now! Defence is stacked, need another receiver to go with Decker but MM gives them a shot at winning the division

phatkev · 29-03-2015 1:26pm

No he doesnt, he's not ready to face NFL defenses. He needs some serious coaching(something the Jets seem incapable of when it comes to QBs)and time before he's ready to start. If the Jets do happen to draft him I would hope that they let him sit behind Fitz/Geno and learn the system/learn the playbook

Like i said, i think the Jets would trade the pick but if they have to stay put then you have to take the QB there imo. You need a good qb to win in this league and Mariota has HUGE upside. I think in that situation he would sit behind Fitz for a year but there's always the problem of the clamour of the NY media.

franglan · 29-03-2015 5:27pm

If you draft Mariota at 6,there is no doubt he sees action in 2015. The days of redshirting early 1st round QB's is most likely over.
Jets should go with Fitzpatrick as a game manager and hope he can do that. Personally I would go for best player position in a position of need for the jets.

tripperman · 29-03-2015 5:45pm

I do think the jets need a reboot at qb but mariota is not the guy for them he needs a stable qb friendly franchise, they don't seem to be able to help a rookie qb grow, I think they take ol lineman or pass rusher,

ChicagoJoe · 29-03-2015 5:46pm

Apparently the Buccaneers has zeroed in on Jameis Winston as its target. So I started wondering, where will Mariota end up? My bets are on the Titans. Anyone else ?

mikemac1 · 29-03-2015 6:22pm

Rams at 10 have been touted also. Jeff Fischer does have the history of drafting a mobile QB with Vince Young

Foles only has one year left on his deal so Mariota could sit and learn for a year or get thrown in later if the playoffs are missed.

With Bradford and Jake Long off the books the Rams will have cap space in the future and they are drafting well, future looks bright and a good spot for a rookie QB

Titans at 2 seems awful high, don't see it

mikemac1 · 29-03-2015 6:27pm

Bears GM will be picking later today and the Falcons GM already gave me their shortlist

kev_s88 · 29-03-2015 8:26pm

Ive put Mariota to the Redskins in a lot of mock drafts. Just seems Jay Gruden is not willing to commit to RG3 as his starter, and Kirk Cousins is still too raw. While i know some will say Mariota is too raw also, i just feel he could be that nice blend of size, speed and arm strength that the Redskins would love to have

mikemac1 · 29-03-2015 8:30pm

The Falcons GM is away and gave me their pick. If you want to add more text please pm a mod or me. It'll lock in a few days and I can't edit it then but a mod can

HigginsJ · 29-03-2015 8:36pm

Just the one real surprise pick so far, interested to see who is mocked to the Giants now. Scherff is the player mocked most often so with him off the board it could be an interesting pick.

I was considering him but the redskins suck getting after the qb. Rg3 can do a job while they sort out the d

Thanks for posting my pick Mike.

Onecoolcookie · 29-03-2015 11:40pm

Just in from the match now, I'll get my Giants pick posted soon!

Also I'd be absolutely delighted if Beasley fell to the Falcons at 8, reckon he's almost guaranteed to go in the top 5 at this stage.

mikemac1 · 30-03-2015 7:04am

I wonder will the Rams draft defensive line :pac:

HigginsJ · 30-03-2015 7:43am

Would love the Giants to land Shelton. He would form one hell of a DT pairing with Big Hank. I fear he would go to the Bears.

Paully D · 30-03-2015 9:23am

Love the Kevin White pick for the Vikings. Intrigued to see what way the Browns go here as it really shapes my pick at #19.
