Draft Risers & Fallers - Page 2

Noticed several names getting hot and rising fast while others are falling...thoughts?

Risers

Landon Dickerson, Samuel Cosmi, Spencer Brown, Hunter Long, Dyami Brown, and Brevin Jordon make the list for seemingly making minor jumps up say one round.

But here's a list of some guys on ESPN's 3-round mock draft and elsewhere I've seen really climb:

Patrick Jones II Pitt EDGE @ #62 ESPN
Dwayne Eskridge WR Western Michigan @ #67 ESPN
Jealon Dardon WR N Texas #79 PFF
Cade Johnson WR S Dakota State #92 ESPN
Simi Fehoko WR Stanford #97 ESPN

Fallers

Gregory Rousseau, DE, Miami going in the mid-2nd round? 19.5 tackles for loss and 15.5 sacks in 2019, might be the best rushing edge in the draft. Oweh had zero sacks and Phillips has serious concussion concerns after he already retired once.

WR TJ Vasher, Houston 6'6 210 lbs TX Tech ~"was previously a Day 2 pick, but due to work ethic concerns has dropped to rd 4-7 or may potentially go undrafted." Similar story to DGB, unfortunately.

Thoughts? Impressions? Any other names you've noticed?

I really don’t think so man.

There’s been a bit of backtracking going on there recently, and I’m convinced they’re going Lance or Fields.

Two of the latest mock drafts on NFL.com have him going 3rd. There's still plenty of smoke.

Yea because he was quickly established as their guy by the media, so many are still running with that, but it’s far from a sure thing.

Oh, for sure it's definitely NOT a given. They're looking hard at all 3 of them.

And Kiper just recently released one with them taking Fields. Most of the guys on TDN think it’s Fields too.

Fields is gaining a lot of momentum.

It will be interesting to see if Lance moves, especially now that Fields has disclosed his epilepsy issues.

Agreed.

They know. I’m just not convinced that anybody else truly does.

It's Trey Lance.

For me Trey Lance is definitely QB5. There is not enough on him in college to be sure of him. He is still a good prospect but the risk level is a lot higher.

Fields is going to be the pick.
