Nfl Mock Draft 3.0

Nfl Mock Draft

  1. Rams: Jared Goff QB CAL- The rams gave up the farm to get their guy and they better know who that is. I am hearing reports that it is Goff and the guy I have a man-crush on, the accurate gun slinger out of cal will be the pick.
  2. Eagles: Carson WentzQB NDSU- The eagles flew across the country to take a look at every quarterback so when I heard the news they traded up to two, I wasn’t surprised. Whoever the rams take, the eagles will get the other.
  3. Chargers: Jalen Ramsey S FSU- Chargers need a playmaker on defense and even though Tunsil would be a great pick, Ramsey is the guy…

The improbable Run: How the wildcats proved everyone wrong

The Improbable Run

 

“Arcidiacono passes to Jenkins, this shot for the championship” Obviously now you know the ball swished threw the hoop, Carolina kids crying on the bench while the cats jumped on Jenkins like he was a god. Simply put, Villanova and Jay Wright proved all the doubters wrong.

There has always been a theory for some teams but the main one is really Villanova. Sure they have tough kids from Philly, they are well coached, they shoot well, defend their hearts out and play well in the regular season. But when it comes to the tournament, they would have an early exit because they always underperform, that’s what they do. Two years ago they were a two seed, advanced to the second round before loosing to the eventual champs Uconn. The next year they played NC state and lost in the second round in a heartbreaker. They didn’t play awful by any stretch but they always never seemed to be shooting well in those games and it was always “the other teams night”year in and year out. But this year was different. This Tournament was different. Right when they lost to Seton Hall in the finals in the Big EAST championship, a game which I had attended, it was here we go again another early exit. Then when they found their draw as the last number two seed and potentially having to play a temple or Iowa in the second round, people jumped on early exit for Nova. They also had the likes of Miami and Kansas ready to eat Nova up and spit them right back out. But maybe the old guys for Nova (veteran group) got sick of hearing all of the chirps of them not getting it done when it matters. Ryan Arcidiacono, who has been at Nova as long as Ellis has been at Kansas, along with the crew of Hart, Jenkins, and Ofecu would rise to the occasion and claim the trophy as the best team in the nation. After cruising to a victory over UNC Ashville, they collided with Iowa. Iowa had struggled as of late, but they were a top 10 team for a good portion of their season and may play up to their competition. Wrong. Nova destroyed them 87-68, but the game was over by halftime. Next up was Miami. A team that many liked to beat Nova because of guard play, athleticism and experience. Villanova came out firing and hit three pointer after three pointer. In a game that was supposed to be a close back and forth game, it ended up being 92-69 and ending the canes’ run. Now for the biggest one yet. Kansas. Kansas was the best team in the country in many’s eyes and had a great blend of talent and experience. They were led by Ellis, Selden, Mason, and Graham. They hadn’t lost since Mid-January and came into the game with a lot of swagger. Even though Kansas was slightly the better team, Villanova played hounding defense and got Kansas out of it’s rhythm. The goal to do so was get Ellis off his game and he finished with a season low four points. Every time he got the ball there were three guys surrounding him. It worked, every guy seemed to be off their game. Kansas was held to a season low 59 points. With clutch free throw shooting and timely steals, Villanova snuck by Kansas 64-59 and was off to Houston for the final four. Facing them was another talented big 12 team in Oklahoma led by the best player in the country. They frustrated buddy in to taking tough shots and made the “other guys” on Oklahoma beat them and held Buddy to 9 points. It also helps that they were 71% from the floor and made everything beyond the three point line while Oklahoma couldn’t buy a bucket.  They cruised 95-51 and we in the finals. One more team they conquered. One more win and they are champs. They could taste it. Standing in their way was big bad North Carolina. They were considered to be the most talented team in the country and were led by big man Brice Johnson. One more guy to shut down. Experts were picking UNC and still disrespecting the cats. Brice Johnson, the best big man in CBB had the quietest 14 points ever and was a non factor. The game went back and forth, with unsung heroes like Phil Booth stepping up and giving them big time minutes off the bench and totaling 20 points. Nova was up by 10 with 4 min left and most thought it was over. But senior point guard Marcus paige for UNC willed the team back and tied the game up with a ridiculous double clutch three point shot to tie the game. It would have been Mario Chalmers esc if not for Kris Jenkins. With 4.7 seconds on the clock, Arcidiacono got the ball and got by Berry and seemed like he was going to take the shot, it was his time. But the player who in- bounded the ball Kris Jenkins, the teams best shooter known for his threes received a scoop pass from Arch and shot the ball with his sweet stroke. Swish. Ball Game. If you had told me before the tourney that Nova would win I wouldn’t have believed you. But they proved everyone wrong and they now have the respect that they deserve.

Nfl Mock draft 2.0

  1. Titans: Laremy Tunsil OT Ole Miss- He is a generational talent at tackle and having marcus mariota having Tunsil and Lewan holding the edge down is a dream come true. Ramsey could be the pick but since Mariota is the future they have to keep him upright so tunsil is the pick.
  2. Browns: Carson Wentz QB NDSU- He checks off all the boxes except one. He has size, speed,a big arm, and he is very intelligent. But he didn’t play the competition. He blew scouts away at his combine, so if the browns can look past who he played, they can take a great QB and start to build around him.
  3. Chargers: Jalen Ramsey CB/S FSU- He is the best athlete and football player. The game comes easy to him and this would be the best case scenario for the chargers. He would replace eric weddle, and if Ramsey plays safety, he will be a perennial pro bowler and hall of famer.
  4. Cowboys: Deforest Buckner DE OU- He is very consistent and dominant. You could say that they go with jack or elliot but they need a big defensive player because they didn’t resign hardy and since I don’t trust Randy Gregory, Buckner is the pick.
  5. Jaguars: Myles Jack LB UCLA- The most versatile athlete in the class who has the biggest star potential. He is a nasty linebacker who can run sideline to sideline and also can cover like a corner. He is a special athlete who will give a jaguars team who lacks big time defensive talent a game changing player.
  6. Ravens: Joey Bosa DE OSU- The most hyped up player in the draft and even though I don’t think he is the best player, he is a very powerful player who would be a great pick for the ravens. He is a player with great length,technique, and versitle.
  7. 49ers: Jared Goff QB CAL- Him and Wentz are neck and neck for the number 1 quarterback in the draft. He is an effortless thrower of the football and throws the ball with great accuracy. His footwork isn’t great but he is a teddy Bridgewater type who will be a great QB, also being a great fit with San Fransisco.
  8. Eagles: Ezekiel elliot RB OSU- He is one of the best players in the draft and if the Eagles draft him, he will be a nightmare to deal with for the rest of the NFC EAST. He is an all around back who will balance their offense and give the offense a matt forte type. He is the best player available so that’s the pick. He would be a slam dunk pick for the eagles who have found their RB.
  9. Buccaneers: Ronnie Stanley LT Notre Dame- He is an athletic freak who happens to play tackle. He has long arms and is very athletic, and has the potential to be a franchise left tackle. He isn’t the strongest guy, but he has the ability to be a big time player. He would be a nice pick for Tampa bay, as having him and smith as their tackles would be great to have so they can protect Winston for years to come.
  10. Giants: Darron Lee LB OSU- He isn’t the biggest guy but he is a fast, athletic linebacker who is just a playmaker. He would be a great fit for the giants. The giants could also go with Leonard Floyd, Shaq Lawson, or Vernon Hargreaves. I really don’t have a clue who they are going to take because they have so many options.
  11. Bears: Vernon Hargreaves CB Florida- He is the best man to man cover corner in the draft. He would be a great fit with the bears who need a corner with Kyle fuller. They could also go linebacker or EDGE rusher but Hargreaves would be the best player on the board.
  12. Saints: Sheldon Rankins DL Louisville-  Coming into the draft, he was considered a “sleeper” that could sneak into the first round. Now he is in the thick of things for being a first rounder. He is a solid all around player with being a good pass rusher for a DT and a solid run stuffer. He would be a nice addition for a putrid defense.
  13. Dolphins: Shaq Lawson DE Clemson- He is an all around solid defensive end. He is good against the run and a solid pass rusher. He is a young pass rusher that the dolphins lack with them having old rushers like Cameron Wake(35 years old) and mario williams (31 years old). They also lost Olivier vernon and Derrick Shelby. A player that might not be a star but definitely a solid player for a 10-12 year starter.
  14. Trade*Seahawks: Jack Conklin OT Michigan state- The Seahawks lost Russel Okung in free agency to the broncos and let’s be honest, one of the 4 tackles in the draft won’t be their at 26. So if they want to keep Wilson upright, they needed to trade up and get their guy. Conklin is a tough kid who will be a leader and solid starter on this team.
  15. Rams: Laquan Treadwell WR Ole Miss- A team in the rams who don’t have a quarterback. But picking Paxton Lynch here would be a major reach for me as I gave him a second round grade. So they will go with a big target for their future quarterback and that is Treadwell. He is a competitive kid, he uses his body well and he has a big catch radius. He isn’t guy but he is a very good route runner and possession receiver.
  16. Lions: A’Shawn Robinson DT Alabama- A big body for the lions out of Alabama. He uses his body and arms really well but he is not great with leverage. He is a little overrated but Ngata won’t be their forever so they take the athletic Robinson.
  17. Falcons: Taylor Decker OT OSU- He is a monster with size at 6’8 but is slow feet will have him be a right tackle. He is nasty and would be a great complement to Jake Matthews at Right tackle. The falcons still need to do more to protect Matt Ryan, and even though rusher is a bigger need, they take the best player on the board.
  18. Colts: Reggie Ragland LB Alabama- He is a classic thumper linebacker and could be a leader for the colts defense. The colts need to protect Luck, but the four top tackles are gone and taking one would be a reach. Ragland is just a great football player and a good fit with the colts.
  19. Bills: Jarran Reed DT Alabama- He is the best run stuffer in the draft and the better of him and A’shawn Robinson. He isn’t going to blow you away but he is a strong dude. He is big but not the best athlete. He would be a solid pick for the bills.
  20. Jets: Leonard Floyd EDGE Georgia- He is falling a little bit in my mock just because his tape doesn’t match up with his unbelievable physical skills. He would give the jets a nice complement to their star guys on the line.
  21. Redskins: Vernon Butler DT Louisiana Tech- He is just a big dude who would be a nice fit with the redskins. The redskins are losing their starting defensive tackles so they can plug a new guy in. Their are so many I just picked one which was Butler over UCLA’S Kenny Clark.
  22. Texans: Corey Coleman WR Baylor- He is a very explosive vertical threat that the texans lack alongside Hopkins. He needs to work on his hands and route running but he is an electrifying prospect.
  23. Vikings: Josh Doctson WR TCU- He is the best wide receiver in 50/50 balls and has great size. He isn’t the fastest guy but he has a great work ethic and one of the safest players in the draft.
  24. Bengals: William Jackson III CB Houston- He is a long, Athletic cornerback that would be a solid pick for the bengals. They don’t really have any major needs so they can take the best player.
  25. Steelers: Eli Apple CB OSU- He just seems like a steelers corner and I have had him mocked here for a while. He is long and tough against the run. He would be a great pick for them.
  26. Trade** Raiders: After trading back and gaining a third round pick, they will take a position of need and that’s Karl joesph. He is reckless with his body, but that’s what makes him special. He is just a playmaker. He had a knee injury but he has a raider mentality and would be a great fit.
  27. Packers: Kamalei Correa EDGE Boise State: An athlete that is new to the game of football. He is an underrated player who could surprise people and sneak into the first round. He could develop into a stud edge rusher because of his competitiveness.
  28. Chiefs: Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson: The chiefs lost a starting corner in free agency so why not replace him? He didn’t get any interceptions and is small, but he is just a good football player and will make a great duo with Marcus Peters.
  29. Cardinals: Noah Spence EDGE Eastern Kentucky: He is a quick, athletic edge rusher with big time potential. He is a project, but if Arians and his coaching staff keeps Spence focused, he could be a big time rusher.
  30. Panthers: Jason Spriggs LT Indiana: He is not a tackle, he is an athlete, a workout warrior. He doesn’t play up to his athleticism at times, but he has big potential. The panthers showed an obvious need for talent on the O-line in the super bowl, so they will address it in the first round.
  31. Broncos: Paxton Lynch QB Memphis- This would be a reach, but a necessary one. They have Mark Sanchez as their quarterback, so that has to change. A player similar to Brock Osweiler, he can develop for a year and fill in as the quarterback of the future.

Trade**** Seahawks trade up to pick 14 and give up the 26 overall and 90th picks to the Raiders.
