Watkins101 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 College football is starting back up, so I decided to start up this thread. I did a quick 3 round mock draft, And I would be estatic with the results: 15: R1P15 QB MASON RUDOLPH OKLAHOMA STATE 27: R1P27 EDGE BRADLEY CHUBB NORTH CAROLINA STATE 35: R2P3 LB CAMERON SMITH USC 47: R2P15 WR JAMES WASHINGTON OKLAHOMA STATE 71: R3P7 G WYATT TELLER VIRGINIA TECH 79: R3P15 DL DA’RON PAYNE ALABAMA Thoughts?

YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) There are several top prospects playing today through Saturday as we look toward the biggest draft in this team's recent history. I did a quick breakdown on the cfb board - this is only Big 10 and their week 1 opponents because that is what I know the best. Using a combination of top 150 player lists and "way too early" 1-2 round 2018 mock drafts.... Week 1 schedule - draft eligible names to watch per a combination of cfb top 150 players, and mock drafts. This is Big 10 games only, and their opponents. Star notes my own endorsement player as NFL prospect. No star means I either don't endorse , haven't watched closely enough, or they haven't played enough yet for evaluation. 8/31 OSU at IU 8pm ESPN (MegaCast on all ESPN channels - coach's film room version on ESPN News would be a good one if interested in any of these players) IU - Tegray Scales LB* Simmie Cobbs, Jr. WR* OSU - Mike Weber, Jr. RB* Sam Hubbard DE/OLB* JT Barrett, QB Denzel Ward, CB* Jerome Baker, LB* Billy Price, C* Tyquan Lewis, DE* Dre'Mont Jones, DT* Jamarco Jones, OT* Parris Campbell, WR Damon Webb, S Washington at Rutgers 8pm Fox Sports 1 Washington- Jake Browning, QB Vita Vea, DT Dante Pettis, WR Azeem Taylor, LB Miles Gaskin, RB JoJo McIntosh, S Trey Adams, OT 9/1 Utah St at Wisconsin 9pm ESPN Wisc - Troy Fumigalli, TE* 9/2 Wyoming @ Iowa 12pm BTN Wyoming-Josh Allen, QB Iowa- Josey Jewell, LB* BGSU @ MSU 12pm ESPNU MSU- Brian Allen, C LJ Scott, RB* Akron @ PSU 12pm ABC PSU- Mike Gesicki, TE* Deebo Samuel, WR DaeSean Hamilton, WR Marcus Allen, S Saquan Barkley, RB* Trace McSorley, QB Michigan @ Florida 3:30pm ABC Michigan- Maurice Hurst, DT* Wilton Speight, QB* Florida - Martez Ivey, G Duke Dawson, CB Note: WR Antonio Callaway for Florida is suspended week 1. So didn't list him. He's a top 100 player. Simmie Cobbs for IU was recently arrested but I expect him to play some or all of the game. Mike Weber Jr for OSU has a hammy - expected to be ok but i won't be surprised if he sits with Sooners in 10 days. I stuck to the top 150 and 2018 mock drafts (which only go up to 2 rounds at this point) on my games but there are 2019 eligible guys to watch like Rashan Gary (DT, UM) and Nick Bosa (DL, OSU), 2020 eligible JK Dobbins (RB OSU), Chase Young (DL, OSU). and a number of other 2018 eligible Buckeyes I have my eye on even though they didn't make the list - Jalyn Holmes, DE (freak), Chris Worley, MLB, Marcus Baugh, TE, Johnnie Dixon, WR, Kendall Sheffield, CB Edited September 1, 2017 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Really like Mason Rudolph and feel like he will be the QB that starts climbing draft boards when the season starts. Also really like James Washington but feel like round three is a little low for him. As it stands right now, and its early, I'd expect him to go late round one. I'd say the same for Chubb who is currently considered as a 1st round pick. Otherwise this looks good to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, that is why I would be so happy with this draft. btw, Washington was picked with our 2nd 2nd. I think chubb will be an early 1st, Washington will be a mid first, and I really like Rudolph. If we got these picks for the first 3 rounds, this could be the best or 2nd best draft in team history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 One player I really want to watch is QB Jarrett Stidham at Auburn. Transfer from Baylor. Very talented - could be a top pick.

SoCal Deek Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 There is ZERO chance the Bills are taking a QB in Round One with Nathan Peterman, 2017 Rookie of the Year already solidly in place as their starting signal caller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrober38 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I find it hard to imagine the Bills picking 15th. I'm expecting something in the 3-7 overall range, at which point we need to trade up for an elite QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm hoping a team like LA, Cleveland or Chicago wind up in one of those spots and has enough faith in their existing young QB and wants to trade down. I also won't rule us out from being the 2nd worst team in the NFL this year. I think our offense is going to be just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am most decidedly not a Mason Rudolph-in-the-first guy at the moment...obviously my 2017 season evaluations could change that. Right now, my QB board based on offseason work-ups looks like this: 1. Mayfield 2. Rosen 3/4/5. Allen/Darnold/Falk (no separation at the moment) 6. Rudolph Other guys I've reviewed in detail include Browning, Ferguson, McSorely, Thorson, Fitzgerald, Speight, Stanton, Francois, and Littman, but they're all in tier 2 or 3 for me at the moment. I'm looking forward to getting enough video of L. Jackson and J. Stidham to put together an evaluation on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best case scenario IMO is Luck is out for the year, Indy goes like 4-12 and the same thing with Chicago. Both have QB's. If Kizer shows some promise and Cleveland finishes at the bottom....could be another good trade partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting something in the 3-7 overall range, at which point we need to trade up for an elite QB. That's my worst fear, close enough to dump the stock pile of picks and still not get to 1 overall. I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get the QB of their choice but just lose the damn games and spare all those picks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get the QB of their choice but just lose the damn games and spare all those picks!!! Agreed. If we trade McCoy, I think we're pretty darn close to picking in the top 2. Without him, we'll struggle to score 20 points a game which likely means 12 or more losses.

Seems like the latest example of good college spread QB but not a very good NFL QB. That Oklahoma offense teaches players next to nothing about how to run an NFL offense. I like his fire as a competitor, but I don't think the NFL will collectively view a 6'1, spread QB as the best QB prospect in the draft. Darnold, Allen and Rosen should be the top 3 guys. They've all god the size, arm, accuracy and experience under centre to be projected as long term NFL starters. I personally think Allen is the best fit for what we need long term as a franchise QB who we can build an offense around for years to come.

indiragandhi'sthong Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I prefer Mason Storm. He's bulked up nicely and we could use an extra OG.

I personally think Allen is the best fit for what we need long term as a franchise QB who we can build an offense around for years to come. That could end up being the case. Right now, I like that Mayfield is athletic, can make plays, and pushes the ball down the field. I also value that he seems to be able to speed up his snap-to-release when he needs to. If I'm guessing, he'll probably drop below whichever of the 3 you've mentioned can further develop their accuracy and snap-to-release time, since they all have the measurables to win out if all else is equal. For now, I'm not willing to mix in potential into my evaluation since so much can change in the next 4 months, and so Mayfield gets the top spot. FWIW, going into 2016 I had Mahomes as my top QB, and I kept him there right on through the draft, though I conceded that I was sure Trubisky would go before him because his game probably translated to the NFL more smoothly.
