Draft Strategy

[dantheman41]

My guess on what the teams draft strategy will be. Based on their rankings, and interests.

In this order:

If available at 16
Aaron Donald
Anthony Barr
Mike Evans

If none of those are available at 16, I envision them doing everything they can to trade down. IF a trade down is possible, they will target in this order:

Trade down
Zach Martin
Kony Ealy
Timmy Jernigan
Ryan Shazier
Dee Ford
Calvin Pryor
Jimmie Ward
Odell Beckham
Demarcus Lawrence

 

[ThreeandOut]

I agree with this rat

 

[ThreeandOut]

Meant to say that I agree that will be the approach. The trade down list might not be that long, perhaps pare it down with priority given to the confirmed visitors.

Not that I think it will happen but I wonder what would happen if one of the three QBs fell.

Let's also say that they could not get a trade down they wanted.

I think if Bottle or Bridgewater fell they would pass on either. However I think Jerry would make the call to draft Johnny.

I don't think Jerry would plan to draft a QB in the first but I think he could not pass up on JM unless he got a good trade.

I think JM is the one QB in this draft that Jerry would view as a player that he has called those rare "WOW" players.

and I would cry....

and I would cry....

I am not a fan of his. But when I do that one mock Draft simulation site and he is there at 16 I take him... Only because I believe Jerry would. Same with Mike Evans. Except I like Evans so I would not mind them taking him if he fell

I haven't really wanted to think about taking a WR in the first until about a week ago, and I think the Offense would flourish with evans...but, I think that would take catches away from Williams....as I have stated repeatedly, I really don't want a QB in this draft before the 4th round, and I just don't see Manziel's game translating to the NFL...he could have a very nice season next year, but I think it will catch up to him, ala RGKnee...if manziel is taken, it sets the team back since we would throw away a first round pick...he would sit unless tony got hurt...if tony plays a minimum of 2 or 3 more years, then we have essentially wasted the cheapest years of the rookie contract for our #1 choice...no thank you....

I agree, Manziel would likely be picked if he falls to 16.

Ryan Shazier
Dee Ford
Calvin Pryor
Jimmie Ward
Odell Beckham
Demarcus Lawrence

I think Ward might be at the top of the trade down list.
