2016 Draft- Who ya got?

Do we even have a 3rd round pick? Or is this a compensatory pick for Suh, we are expecting to be a 3rd rounder?

I'm pretty sure the 3rd rounder for Suh is a given. And that will be the only 3rd rounder we have this year. We traded this years to move up to grab Gabe Wright in the 4th round last year.

At least it's a tradable 3rd rounder now!

Say it for me Hughes...
 
Oakman is going to BLOW up the combine and be picked somewhere in the 2nd i think, but that's just my opinion and I would be ECSTATIC if we got this haul on draft day

Oakman is a beast for sure....but I think he might be lacking the initial burst and quickness that a rd 1-2 guy would have. He definitely could be a late riser if he grades out well on shuttle drills and 40 first 10 split.

His ankles are skinny...Warren Sapp says that's a bad thing.
 
Pre Combine Mock. In proper Mayhew fashion ive included some youtube highlights.

1) Jack Conklin, LT
2) Eli Apple, CB

3) Willie Henry, DT
3b) Shawn Oakman, DE

Not sure how this is going to happen. Conklin and Apple are going in the 1st rd and people will fall in love with Oakmans measurables and potential. I see that kid going in the 2nd, maybe the 1st. Unless you're picking your guys in order that you like then this makes perfect sense.

Going off where they are mocked now. Everything changes after the combine. Hence my Pre-combine mock :D

Apple has a lot of jockeying for position to do amongst a CB class that isn't top heavy. We will see where they all land....but theres like 9 guys that all have similar potential and all wont fit in the first 2 rounds.

Gotcha
 
Waltermock showing Treadwell falling due to alot of teams having a low first round grade on him. I'd be so happy. Treadwell, tate, riddick and go pay Benjamin...nasty.

I am 100% on board with this thought.

There is a lot of talent in that group. Speed in Benjamin.....playmakers in Riddick and Tate and the size of Treadwell.

If Ebron could manage to improve as well, that would also be a big plus!!
 
I don't know who would be available but WR even Treadwell would not be my choice. Losing CJ, gaining Treadwill I see them as no better than where we were last season. We need an OT, DT first. That would be what I'd want.

we will be better than last season because last year we played the hardest schedule and next year we will have top 5 easiest. OT and DT are definitely still needs....but typically those are 2 positions easier to fill in FA. I understand your point about Treadwell....but I don't see Jack COnklin playing LT next year instead of Riley Reiff ensuring our success either.

Who cares about the schedule? Whether we win ten or 12 will they advance in the playoffs? Based on this years team we'll still be 0fer when it matters.

New GM or not you assume any of the guys want to come here? Do any fans want to win a SB one day?

Would be nice and i dont think you'd even have to give Benjamin a lot of money either.

Treadwell is Alshon Jeffery based on the way they play their games coming out of college. He'll run a 4.6 at the combine and have his separation from corners picked over on film. We can get him at 16 if we want him. He may fall further, Jeffery was a second round pick.
