Mel Kiper is now mocking Hampton to the Cowboys at 12

[Cowboyny]

Alot of people though Gibbs was a 2nd rounder until he wasnt

Different type of players, but cannot see Hampton going this high. Gibbs was more of a weapon, where Hampton is more of a bell cow type.

I'm not buying it and I love Hampton, but there is no way I consider him at 12 and ahead of Jeanty.

Kipers full mock has Jeanty going #6. I think he is getting the idea that the RB run may start earlier than anticipated.

 

[cowboyec]

i like the pick...but with de mykel williams,georgia still on the board....or a&m's shemar stewart...one of those de's would be really inticing.
but i do like hampton and his fit.

draft chatter started mentioning we could see 2 rb's in rd1.
plus last year...rbs went a lil earlier than in years past...so maybe its swinging "back" the other way now.

 

[cowboyec]

missouri ot armand membou intrigues me at 12.
he is rising up the boards...nfl.com had him as the no1 ot on their list.
him or Lsu's will campbell would be inticing at 12 also if we wait for our rb.

Hampton is 19th on his board but goes 12? I am not sure that the teams that want RBs are going to reach like that.

I think Mel used too much hair spray when he came up with this. Fumes will alter thought patterns.

They talk to people around the league.

One think I have noticed about kiper is his rankings are solely based on what he hears; he does not actually do any evaluation at all himself

and its an established fact that teams blow smoke before the draft.

That is why there are always some real clankers with his mocks

Didn't he mock Tyler Smith to the Cowboys.

The only thing worse than Jeanty at 12 is a different RB at 12.

Sigh…

He needs to get his own facts. There is no one who is going to tip their real hand. That would be stupid. False flag operation run amok now.

I think Hampton would be a good option if Jeanty is not available, but not at pick 12. If Jeanty is not available, I would prefer Tyler Warren at pick 12 and do everything possible to make a trade to return to the first round and be able to select Hampton. With these two players, the offense would improve a lot.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hampton is going in the first round. The Cowboys wouldn’t take him at 12 but if the Cowboys could get a trade for a top 75 pick and draft Hampton in the 20s I would be ok with it.

Yeah, that'd be fine, just not at 12.

 

[baltcowboy]

Yeah, that'd be fine, just not at 12.

I am starting to get the feeling that Caleb Johnson might fall to 44. Tet and Caleb would be a good one two punch.

 

[StuckMojo]

Since they have started nego with Osa......50/50 he's returning IMO

We had Osa this past year so will still need to fix the Dline if he re-signs.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I am starting to get the feeling that Caleb Johnson might fall to 44. Tet and Caleb would be a good one two punch.

I'd love McMillan or a guard round 1, nose tackle round 2, and then Skatabo or the back from Kansas round 3.

 

[Bagman]

Trade from #12 to around 15 and recoup the lost 4 th rounder from last year. Take a RB with #15. Most likely Hampton at that point

 

[locked&loaded]

supposedly ran a sub 4.4 laser timed 40 yard dash. Saturday will be interesting for a lot of these rbs, if they run.

 

[gtb1943]

Didn't he mock Tyler Smith to the Cowboys.

he said we might pick Johnny Football as well
I can give you lots of examples where he was wrong

sure the blind squirrel can get lucky one out of ten tries
