I predicting swapping firsts and dropping our extra fourth in exchange for an extra second.
1 Wr Deandre Hopkins, maybe Tavon Austin. Split on who will be better as a pro.
2a Ot Lane Johnson. Instant upgrade and super versatile. Sleeper imo.
2b Cb Logan Ryan. Pair him with Sean Smith. Solid number two, future number one corner.
3 Lb Khaseem Greene. I know back2back rutgers guys. Don't worry they are very good!
4 Te Jordan Reed. Let him learn football next to martellus.
5 Qb EJ Manuel. Competition /backup.
6 Cb Leon Mcfadden. Good prospect. Great fluidity and tight man coverage skills.
7 Rb Graham, Ray. Possible relief back for Martin.

Nice work, well thought out

thanks man. I literally just kinda threw it together. This mock is predicated on certain players rising and falling. Also you could easily swap Hopkins for Eifert and Reedfor a late wideout.

I really like trading down for more picks, as DEPTH, was a huge issue this year. You figure 11 to 15 players go on the IR everyy year and itś something to focus on.

Draft is probably overly optimistic. I like Hopkins a lot, but getting an extra 2nd for trading down and a 4th is probably unlikely unless we really went far down....which would probably eliminate Logan Ryan from the latter of the 2nd round picks. Lane Johnson is a good player, but will most likely wind up going in the first round as OT is usually in high demand there. Greene is probably also being optimistic in the 3rd round.

Also, not a fan of Sean Smith.
