First Round Mock Draft 1.0

Hope we trade up for Oruwariye if CB hasn’t been addressed up to this point, but I would love Adderly otherwise.

Couple thoughts.

I don't think the Cardinals are staying at 1, nor would the Raiders pass on Kyler Murray.

Even with workout warrior status, DK Metcalf in the top 3 is a real stretch.

Bucs taking a Guard at 5? idk

Spoiler!

I don't see it in Jones. Not even Cutliffe could make him into a consistent passer.

I just don't see Polite and Adderley as first round players.

Kyler will be #1 tho.

I would feel that if the Cards don't take Kyler at 1 or swap the pick to someone that will, the Jets will absolutely take a suite of draft choices to move out of 3 since they gave up a bit to lock in Darnold last year.

Gruden can't even hide his old man boner over Murray. I think he's a Raider.

My rebuttals.
1. Cards are not taking Murray at 1. If he goes 1, the Cards have traded down.
2. Williams will play LT in the NFL, not OG, short arms be damned. Lots of good LTs in the NFL with short arms, including one of the best to ever play.
3. A team is going to fall in love with Metcalf's measurables and compare him to Julio Jones. He doesn't have the resume, but the Jets have notably fallen in love.
4. I agree that Polite is a sketch 1st rounder, but a 3-4 team is probably going to see something there similar to Ford coming out.
5. I'm a little mum on Jones, but the Redskins have real interest. We'll see what happens but my guess is if he doesn't go there he doesn't go round 1.
6. I really do believe Gruden will sit pat with his current mascara wearing dimwit and try to put some talent on the field elsewhere. Murray isn't that polarizing of a prospect in my eyes but you never know with the NFL.

One more, I fully expect quite a bit of movement in the top 6 this year as teams posture for QBs. Cardinals at 1, Jets at 3 are prime candidates. I don't think SF moves unless Bosa goes #1 and even then it's a stretch. They need a pass rusher badly. The Bucs could move off 5 unless they are in that QB hunt but something tells me they give Winston one more crack, he isn't that terrible.

My rebuttals:
1. I agree the Cardinals probably aren't taking Murray at 1, but somebody is.
2. I don't see Left Tackle with Williams at all and the Bucs just gave Donovan Smith a 3 year deal today (lol) -- I think he's going to continue being the LT
3. They're gonna fall in love until they pop in the tape again and realize he's fucked if they have him do basic NFL routes. He'll get overdrafted for sure, but I don't see Top 3.
4. Polite is too fucking nutty. Teams don't want to make that their top pick.
5. Jones is pretty fucking meh
6. Gruden has been knifing Carr to anonymous sources for nearly a year. Derek Carr isn't his QB.

If I'm the packers GM this would be my dream scenario!

Josh Allen at 12?

I'm not dismissing the possibility, I'm merely stating how amazing that would be for GB...

In regards to Adderly, I like the kid; I wouldn't be the least bit disappointed
[Reply]

Does anybody think the Bucs are going to pass on Devin White?
[Reply]

The Broncos won't take a QB in the first and create a QB controversy before Flacco even takes a rep.
[Reply]

Yeah can definitely see it. I think they would looking to prioritize pass-rushing with either Josh Allen or Ed Oliver.

Josh Allen isn't going to be there though, is he?
[Reply]

I would be shocked if TJ Hockenson made it past 20. He might even be a top 15 pick.

Garrett Bradbury and Juan Thornhill will be first rd picks.

I'd think they would run the card up if he were.
