Kiper Mock 4.0 4/6/16

[Risen Star]

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draf...draft-40-nfl?ex_cid=InsiderTwitter_kipermock4

1. Tennessee - Laremy Tunsil T Mississippi
2. Cleveland - Carson Wentz QB North Dakota St.
3. San Diego - Jalen Ramsey CB Florida St.

4. Dallas - Joey Bosa DE Ohio St.
I don't think they should be out of the market for a quarterback this high, but it's hard to go wrong with the best pure pass-rusher in the draft. Bosa might not be the kind of freakish athlete you peg for a future 20-sack season, but he's a much better athlete than many give him credit for, and he'll be an early contributor who can stay on the field in any situation.

5. Jacksonville - Myles Jack OLB UCLA
6. Baltimore - Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio St.
7. San Francisco - Jared Goff QB California
8. Philadelphia (Miami) - DeForest Buckner DE Oregon
9. Tampa Bay - Ronnie Stanley T Notre Dame
10. N.Y. Giants - Jack Conklin T Michigan St.
11. Chicago - Leonard Floyd OLB Georgia
12. New Orleans - Sheldon Rankins DT Louisville
13. Miami (Philadelphia) - Darron Lee OLB Ohio St.
14. Oakland - Vernon Hargreaves CB Florida
15. Los Angeles - Paxton Lynch QB Memphis
16. Detroit - Laquon Treadwell WR Mississippi
17. Atlanta - Reggie Ragland ILB Alabama
18. Indianapolis - Taylor Decker T Ohio St.
19. Buffalo - Shaq Lawson DE Clemson
20. N.Y. Jets - Germain Ifedi T Texas A&M
21. Washington - Jarran Reed DT Alabama

I'm cool w this

 

[DoctorChicken]

How does Jared Goff keep magically falling to the 49ers in all these mocks? I don't see it happening.

 

[Sydla]

The closer this draft gets the more upset I get when I see mocks with Bosa next to our name.

 

[9darter]

How does Jared Goff keep magically falling to the 49ers in all these mocks? I don't see it happening.

Partly because they don't have trades in them.

 

[funkytown]

2nd Round we would have to jump on Noah Spence or Vernon Butler even after taking Bosa

 

[Chuck 54]

My choices for #4 are

A. Ramsey....athletic ability, versatility, and attitude....a difference maker on defense
B. Bosa....too much attention given to a 40 yard dash time---he will make our defense better, period
C. Trade down for Shaq Lawson at DE

 

[morasp]

Joseph in the second

 

[DFWJC]

A lot of really good players sitting there at the top of the 2nd

 

[Alexander]

Eventually Kiper is going to drop his tendency to keep mocking whatever DE he feels fit to Dallas.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Mel thinks that Bosa is the best PURE PASS RUSHER in the draft?

Seems to me that I have heard time and time and time again that He is the best overall DE in the Draft but his one weakness would be his initial burst and as such his Pure Pass Rushing ability from the end.

Also...I am the board WVU homer but ILB Nick Kwiatkoski in the 2nd? Have never seen him rated that high.

If the mock includes no trades, then who takes him before then?

 

[waving monkey]

take V.Butler in the second and our defensive line is rounding up nicely

 

[Hardline]

So the Cowboys draft one of the most overrated players in the draft and pass up the 2nd best player in the draft .

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

So the Cowboys draft one of the most overrated players in the draft and pass up the 2nd best player in the draft .

Who is the second best player in the draft? The LB who can't run a 40 8 months after a meniscus injury? Or the RB?

IF we don't take a QB, I think Bosa is the best player available at our biggest position of need. And it isn't all that close. Our DE's for the first 4 weeks are Lawrence (coming off diskectomy), Mayowa, Crawford, and Russell. It is almost impossible NOT to draft Bosa or at the very least trade down and draft Lawson.

i think with Dallas spending all that time looking into spence id think he was more in line with what this team wants. Passrusher. Not a run stuffing DE. they have a very good run stopping DE on the left side that can rush the passer. Why downgrade to a guy who is not going to get you sacks on that side? I can see spence at 34 or a trade up for him. they have a extra 4th to dangle out there

Yes yes yes

I have no problem going DL with first 2 picks. Carolina did it a few years back with Star and Kawann

Ramsey: his weakness is lateral movements. Dallas plays a zone which basically is depended on keeping the Wrs east to west instead of up the field, you know who else has problems moving laterally? A guy named Brandon Carr. 3ints in his 3 yrs at FSU. Allows alot of crossing routes, sigh.... Brandon carr again? Not a big proponent of defending the run allowing the play to come to him instead of attacking? Brandon Carr for the 3rd strike? This would be another case of the team trying to turn a press corner into a zone CB. Because they have had success doing that

Bosa: Why downgrade the strong side spot just to move Lawrence over to the weakside but still have the lack of a passrush on one side of the DL. If its not broke leave it alone. Doesnt get off blocks rather would try and fight through the blocker. Waste of time in the NFL. What was showed this yr was Bosa isnt as strong as is thought, he was bullied far too many times this yr. Not the forceful tackler that Lawrence is, but rather drags runner to the ground, that doesnt bode well for short yardage defense or goalline defense where Dallas is very good. Heres the part that all of you people who pay attention to the catch words during Draft season. Bosa is not a QUICK TWITCH player. But just watching him play u dont need draft season to tell you that with a word. Had 14 penalties in 2015.
