Smilers 2018 Mock 3.0

[Smiler11]

I don't normally include trades in a mock but given Vea, Payne & Bryan all figure to be gone, I think we're in a great spot (of the Saints) to trade down for a QB needy team.

Falcons trade #26 to the Dolphins for their 2nd (#42) and 3rd round (#73) picks.

I won't go into any analysis, as everyone should be familiar with these players by now, but we've shown considerable interest in all of them.

2. Frank Ragnow, OL, Arkansas

2. Nathan Shepherd, DL, Fort Hayes State

3. Daesean Hamilton, WR, Penn State

3. PJ Hall, DT, Houston State

4. Nyheim Hines, RB/KR, NC State

6. Siran Neal, DB, Jacksonville State

7. Ryan Nall, FB, Oregon State

7. Jake Martin, DE/LB, Temple

I would dig this draft a lot. And the trade is realistic, as Mason Randolph and maybe another QB could be on board:
I love Ragnew. Great pick. Instant G, easy transition to a possible All Pro type OC

Shepherd, a bit older, but bull strong and quick. In our simpler system he could just go

Hamilton is a sneaky wr. One of those zone buster types with big body

Hall is just a wrecking ball

Hynes runs bigger than his size. I'd prefer a bigger back but I wouldn't be displeased.

Neal is a prospect worth a shot based on his feel for the game--could surprise.

Nall is appropriate for a 7th round FB

Martin is a good core STs guy who could work up to rotational edge guy or maybe a backup Sam and MLB. For a seventh rounder, not a bad pick. 

Overall great mock

Ha ha. Did I capture your thoughts? That is a good mock. I'd be happy. Your write-ups were fine. I like the selections.

I like this mock a lot, points for a realistic trade scenario.  Personally, I hope Taven is off the board before we pick so we aren’t tempted by his athleticism. I do feel like we could get a little more capital for a trade into the first round, but I doubt it would come this year. 

I’m a big fan of double dipping on DTs.

You did, and you saved me a job. I couldn't be bothered to do write up's on players everyone should be familiar with by now.
