Draftnut57 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Same Mock I made last week, But did not give myself the pick in the Second Round for trading down to get Ogbah. So I get a low 2nd for the trade down and take Cravins with our pick and Thomas with trade pick, This will be my only 2016 Mock. 1. DE Emmanuel Ogbah 6-3, 275, Oklahoma St. {24 sacks the last two seasons} 2. SS Sua Cravins 6-1, 225, USC {154 Tkl + 10 sacks Last 2 years} 2. WR Michael Thomas 6-3, 210, Ohio St. {18 TDs Last 2 years} 3. DT Javon Hargrove 6-1, 300, South Carolina State {29.5 sacks Last 2 years} 4. G/T Denver Kirkland 6-5, 340, Arkansas {Massive Guard to anchor the Middle} 7. TE Darrin Griswold 6-5, 265, Arkansas St. {Converted HS QB, Talented with huge upside} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I really thought about this before I made it.. I love the first pick,, I think this player is very underrated obviously. The 7th round pick Darrin Griswold is a very talented player, converted from QB, but is very talented Physically and mentally , Great Natural Athlete very fast and talented, Catches everything and is big and strong enough to block when ask to. We interviewed him , hoping he will be in Red and Black by the end of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunn-Vick-Duckett Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No Linebackers man. Unless you are putting Cravens at LB, we need to get at least one in this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeap,, Cravens would play LBer and SS.. Love his versatility ... Plus ,, you can't get everything you need in the draft.. I try to get the best players of need, And what ever else we need.. WE get after the cuts that come after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I really wanted WR Doctson in this draft but he has flown up the draft more than any other player.. He's now concidered a First rd pick.. I'd love to have gotten him but I don't think it can happen now that he's moved up so high. But I really like Thomas,, also..

I don't believe in forcing picks to our needs,, But get that best player per need... And IMO,,, WR is a need, I mean we have a great QB and he needs a new young WR ,, Just remember this thread, and who ever gets Thomas is going to get an awesome WR,, I think he will be better than Roddie in His prime. It's my draft , and I'm not only stickin to it, but I love it... This is the only year, I'll only be making one Mock,, I wanted to wait and make sure of who I wanted, I think this may be the best Mock I've ever made. ...

Unfortunatly this team decided to replace Roddy with Sanu. In my eyes, that means we dont go WR in 1-3, or at all in this draft given our lack of picks. We need DEFENSE.

Ovie_Lover Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Sua will play either LB or SS. Using him to fix both it silly. If he's at LB we have a Ish at SS and if he's at SS we have a scrub at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just pick the very best players of needs and the best player you can get per pick.. Then after the draft , you pick up the remaining needs after the cuts that come after the draft.. There is a right way to go about it.. And that is what they'll do.. TD is a very smart man.. regardless of what some on here say.. The order is get what you can in FAcy, Then what you can in the Draft, Then finish up the needs after the cuts come from other teams.. Like a 3 step process.. So far TD has knocked our FA pick ups out of the park. Best we've ever had,, He always drafts well compared to other GMs he is at the top.. IMO. And then we'll get those few players we need after cuts before the season starts.. That's the way it works,, one step at a time.. We are now in step two.. TD has done an excellent job so far.. And by the time the season starts , I think this will be the best Falcon team ever in the History of this Franchise... WE are well on our way,, Never seen us go out and get this many great palyers in FAcy. Fun to watch TD make his moves.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-dawg Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Using a premium pick for a WR when we just spent huge in free agency and drafted Hardy last year feels like an unforced error. Agree with You Lovers criticisms about trying to use Cravens to plug two holes - doesn't work. Also, Denver Kirkland is the antithesis of ZBS guard - horrible, horrible fit. Ogbah and Cravens are good picks but the rest? I would be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butudontseeme™ Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Good to see someone besides Lee as the 1st round pick. Still concerning that we don't draft an actual lb. To me, if we draft a DL with the first pick, LB has to be our second pick. As much as I'd like to have Cravens, LB is a more critical need than Safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogbah and Cravens are good picks but the rest? I would be disappointed. It's just according to how important you think a WR is ? It's great to have 2 pro starters, but WE need a young Roddie White,, in training,, I actually believe Thomas is going to be a better pro that Roddie was.. Bank on it...

Answer me this question about TD because you have to know him or be related to him as you are literally the only person that holds him to this level of esteem. Does he punch with a close fist or is he a slapper?? I just know he slaps cause he has b!tch written all over him:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
