Kiper Mock 1.0 1/14/16

[lkelly]

More blasphemy: His Royal Hairness always misses Dallas' pick.

I think he even picked Mandarich over Aikman. This was back in the day when you had to call his 1-900 number to have him read you his mocks over the phone.

 

[Hardline]

Tennessee taking Tunsil is the biggest lock in this draft.

 

[Alexander]

Don't laugh. I used to call Buchbaum's number and listen to him recite his mocks in his thick Brooklyn accent.

With the foist pick of the second woind, the Houstoin Oilas select qwataback Bwett Farve.

 

[RS12]

If you dont get a lot of sacks in college..........................

 

[Sydla]

Tennessee taking Tunsil is the biggest lock in this draft.

I saw a report of them trying to trade back............ thinking that either Stanley or Tunsil will still be there if they are in the 5-8 range.

Problem is, no one wants the #1 pick in this draft enough to trade for it. There's no dominant, sure fire, must have stud in that #1 slot.

 

[BHendri5]

I've always said that Kiper was an idiot

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Did Dallas cut Demarcus Lawrence or Randy Gregory this offseason?

Would love the Buckner choice, that kind of size on athletic DLs tend to succeed in the NFL.... realistically looks like Treadwell or rather Ramsey considering nice depth in early Round 2 for a talented WR.

 

[sbark]

Agree on his basis that none of the qb are worth 15th spot or higher, makes argument for trade back even more.

What other 900 numbers did you call?

I have watched Buckner alot and not that impressed. I am shocked he is considered a top 5 pick. Seems like a 2nd-4th rd depending how people rank talent.

 

[Risen Star]

Could Mike or BP or some other staff member delete this thread? These guys don't deserve Mel's brilliance.

 

[Rogerthat12]

You better have a talk with your boy...he gonna wind up getting that bouffant smacked off his head.

Exactly, struggles to get off blocks, not elite speed and gets absorbed by tackles on a regular basis, no thanks Mel.

Maybe your clone can do better:

If Titans arent asking for the bank I believe SF is willing to draft ahead of the Browns
for Goff.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Just Mel trying to make another so-so player into a first round pick. Years ago, he took a crappy WR named Ashley Lelee and pushed him throughout the draft season into a 1st round draft pick.

1. Tennessee Titans - Joey Bosa DE Ohio St.
2. Cleveland Browns - Jared Goff QB California
3. San Diego Chargers - Laremy Tunsil T Mississippi

4. Dallas Cowboys - DeForest Buckner DE Oregon
It's rare to find a team picking No. 4 overall that can genuinely say "We're in win-now mode." But the Cowboys get a healthy Tony Romo back and that's a fair statement. If Greg Hardy isn't back, Buckner is a great fit. You get a 6-foot-7, 290-pound defensive end who can put a tackle on skates right into his own quarterback. The No. 1 thing you love about Buckner: major motor. He plays hard. He could have been taken relatively early last year, but came back and put an exclamation point on it.

I don't think so.

Kiper is Commanders fan no doubt.

Buckner is nothing like that. He has been considered a first round lock long before this projection.
