Whose draft stock do you see rising and falling between now and the draft

[darthseinfeld]

It seems draft boards around this time of year look silly in April. There are always those guys rated as 2nd, 3rd and even mid round picks that rise up to be first rounders. Conversely, there are always guys rated as first rounders, even high first rounders, that free fall down the draft.

Who are the guys you think will rise and fall over the course of the draft season

 

[The Realist]

Unless he wets the bed at the Senior Bowl I see Tak McKinley rising a lot. If Corey Davis tests off the charts and shows well he could jump to top 25. Demarcus Walker is a top 4-5 pass rusher in this draft and I think will go top 25.

The guy I would be disappointed with if we take him in one would be Carl Lawson. Multiple injury issues and we don't have good success with those guys. Seems like Tim Williams is an arrest waiting to happen. He's a guy that will be a slider if I had to guess.

Ya I could definitely see McKinley skyrocket. One thing that may slow hos rise is depth at the edge rushing position

DeShaun Watson being a Top 10 pick is crazy to me.

 

[RandyOh]

I can see Raekwon McMillan falling to the early 3rd round. He has looked weak this year.

Spoken like an Irish fan. McMillan averaged 7.25 tackles/game this season. Against top competition, he averaged 7.57 TPG. He had SIXTEEN tackles vs Michigan this past weekend. McMillan is an excellent athlete with great vision & instincts, & will show big time in the post season and the Combine. I would be very surprised if he doesn't wind up going in the 1st round.

Irish fan? Nah I just really wanted Jaylon Smith on the team. But why do I keep hearing his Pass coverage has taken a step back this year?

 

[Macnalty]

DeShone Kizer
Mitch Trubisky
Deshaun Watson

The top three QB's will all rise to the top they always do, I personally like DE Carl Lawson and think we have no chance at drafting him. We are drafting in the late twenties or thirties you do not get talented players without some warts at that pick if you want clean players pick in the top 5 or this year it might be the top 10 with all the defensive talent.

 

[RS12]

Trubisky will probably go to Cleveland. Adoree Jackson and Tak Mc Kinney will fly updraft boards as freak athletes. Deshaun Watson will sink like a stone.

Ive seen some places where he is falling out of the first

I could see Watson an early day 3 pick ala Conner Cook

I'm crushing on Adoree Jackson pretty hard after seeing him this past week against ND.

I'm crushing on Adoree Jackson pretty hard after seeing him this past week against ND.

USC cornerback Adoree' Jackson came up short in his bid Wednesday to qualify in the long jump for next month's U.S. Olympic trials.

Jackson, one of the top talents in college football, didn't participate in spring football practice as he focused on track full-time.

He placed fifth Wednesday in the long jump at the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore., with a jump of 25 feet, 1 3/4 inches. A jump of 26-5 is needed for an athlete to earn an automatic qualification to the trials. The top 24 qualifiers in the long jump can compete in the trials.

Jackson earned All-America honors for his mark, but he had been hoping for more.

"It was probably the worst performance ever," Jackson said, per The Los Angeles Times.

Jackson's personal best is 25-11 1/2, which he set at last year's NCAA championships, where he also finished fifth.




Long jump equals explosion.

Besides the fact that he hasnt had a great year, scouts say he has a Bridgewater (frail) build. IIRC he already wrecked his knee once.

It will hurt him way more then Bridgewater because Bridgewater was pure pocket QB in college. Watson is a scramble so if he is frail like Bridgewater, he wont last long

I can see him havingba Seneca Wallace type career

Oh, I see. That pic is of Peppers. So, you're a fan of that team up north. Didn't you watch McMillan make tackle your guys 16 times last week? He's one of those guys whose stats aren't gaudy, but at the end of the game, you look & say, "Man, he WAS all over the place". When you have guys like Malik Hooker, who has 6 interceptions, 3 of them pick sixes, on your team, it's easy to be overlooked. Every mock I've seen still has Raekwon going in the middle of round one.

lol I don't follow any college football team. Smith was my favorite defensive player last draft. McMillan is still going off his pre season hype. He is not having the same season as he had last year. He had over 30 more tackles last season and thats with Washington on the inside and both Bosa and Tyquan Lewis setting the edges. Not to mention 20th overall pick Darron Lee next to him. Do i even need to bring up Ohio States awesome defensive backfield? Nah u get the point. He benefited from playing with other top talent. Hes a good run stuffer but multiple NFL scouts are still skeptical of his pass coverage. The only 1st round lock at Linebacker is Zach Cunningham. McMillan slipping to the late 2nd very early 3rd is very much possible. The only one here being a homer is you.

Better than his performance as a CB in the 2015 ND game.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Myles Garrett to the end of the first round? I can dream, right?

Mitch Trubiski will end up a top three pick
