Mel and Todd's dueling 3 round mock

[cnuball21]

Another meh haul…feel like we’re leaving a lot of meat on the bone.

 

[CATCH17]

I’m saying he’s not the guy I’m drafting in round 2 to overtake them. Strictly a receiving TE at this point that needs to improve in his blocking.

He’s a better blocker then you’re giving him credit for.

Kelce is strictly a receiving TE that isn’t good at blocking too btw.

Everyone should be looking for a Kelce right now.

Tight Ends that can block are a dime a dozen.

If blocking is your big issue than Darnell Washington can mail people and at least he has the athleticism and upside to be a Gronkowski.

 

[Stash]

If we can deal backward into the top third of the second, we should still have several options for a starting TE or LG.

They actually do pretty well in later rounds and I wouldn’t mind having extra picks for a kicker and/or developmental QB and still end up with a starting player as the top pick.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Trade back into top of round two and get your starting left guard there.

 

[xwalker]

I’m not advocating for drafting Johnston…but were his testing #’s really poor?



3 cone would be the only complaint, everything else is very good/great. Not hard to make an argument that he’s comparable to DK Metcalf with a few less pounds.

No, but many people were expecting him to run a 4.3x forty.
- His official forty was 4.52

Also, some draft media expected him to weigh in close to 220 instead of his 212 Pro Day weigh in.

Agreed. IMO something like
-) Will McDonald IV, DE Iowa State or Steve Avila, G TCU
-) Josh Downs, WR North Carolina or Matthew Bergeron, OT/G Syracuse
-) Blake Freeland, OT BYU or Antonio Johnson, S Texas A&M

Yea, I like all 3 players just feel like there’s a handful of better players in each round.

TEs that can block and receive aren't a dime a dozen.

TE seems to be an area McCarthy wants to utilize more. Kincaid is basically a tall WR. If that's what McCarthy wants, then go get him. But if he's looking for more versatility given a potential increase in 12 and 13 personnel? Then Kincaid probably isn't the answer.

I disagree about TEs that can block and catch.

In fact we already have one on the roster.

 

[Miller]

Two TCU players?

Yuck.

Can I dislike

 

[Spottswoode]

Just for grins, here are the number of picks by round of the most discussed positions through pick 102.

RB….. R1=1, R2=1, R3=5…(7 total)……still available Israel, Evans, McBride, Tank, Brown, Gray, Ibrahim

G..…. ..R1=1, R2=3, R3=2….(6 total)……only counted G, G/C, & G/T

TE….. R1=2, R2=4, R3=3….(9 total)

WR… .R1=4, R2=5, R3=6....(15 total)

Edge....R1=5, R2=4, R3=6….(15 total)..…used NFL.com edge list

CB……R1=6, R2=5, R3=4….(15 total)

 

[TNCowboy]

I'd hate to take Johnson when McDonald is there for the taking.

 

[Teague31]

Yuck x 3

His ceiling is a decent TE. He's not an upper level starter IMO.

 

[CATCH17]

Maybe.

He looks way better than Schultz did early on and Schultz was upper level.

A lot of these Michael Mayer types turn into Kyle Rudolph or Cole Kmet after they get picked high in the draft.

 

[cnuball21]

Yea I’d lean McDonald all day.

 

[LatinMind]

Johnston has a body like Gallup but plays soft like DeSean Jackson. Once you hit him in a game it's drop city. But you have to be able to hit him.

 

[cmoney23]

I like Turd Fergeson more than most and think the need for a Day 1/2 TE isn't there... I wouldn't hate this draft....

..bbbbbbbbut swap the round 2 TE for a Guard and I'm super happy here.

 

[rambo2]

That’s what I’m thinking too. Trade back into top of round two and get your starting left guard there.

or even a trade back to 28 or 31.

 

[rambo2]

Yuck.

Avila and Miller are good players.

 

[Rayman70]

I am luke warm on this. We didnt get a defender within the first 3 rds or a olineman. Leaves me bumfuzzled.
