Don't think I've done one in a few years, so forgive the shaking of rust off. I'm not going to do any trades or free agents in my scenario. Just going off of/base-lining what other mocks are saying where prospects could fall and going with this group. Listed an alternative for each pick too. Half of my picks are going to be in the trenches, just the way that I like it.
5th Overall - DE/OLB, Josh Allen, University of Kentucky
&w=400&h=300&c=sc&poi=face&q=85" alt="" />
We'll be in a nice situation here I bet, Allen fits the mold for what I love to see in a prospect. Someone who excelled in a tough division without a superior supporting cast. Ultra productive and great positional value as well. It's highly plausible that Allen is gone by pick 5, so my alternative also fits the same bill and I believe will available I bet, it'd be Ed Oliver out of Houston.
39th Overall - OG/C, Chris Lindstrom, Boston College
For me, I'm hoping to find a solid tackle prospect here but it just doesn't look to be in the books without reaching. I think Chris is one of the best interior lineman in this draft and might fall out of late round 1. Smart, athletic and versatile. Coach likes some versatility and this is a guy who can move around the line and give us a plug-n-play starter. My alternative pick here if we don't get Lindstrom will be Damien Harris out of Alabama at Running Back, I think he can do the things Bruce will need out of a running back and I think he'll be there for us in Round 2 if Lindstrom isn't.
70th Overall - CB/DB, Jamel Dean, Auburn
I always like the bigger cornerback prospects, on top of the size in a division with receivers like Julio, he has freakish athleticism. My gut tells me he goes round 2 late, but if he fell to us in round 3 that'd be a steal. Florida native too. I'm probably going to go defensive back here, there are a lot of safeties who could be falling, my alternative would be any of a Thornhill, Adderley or Chauncey-Johnson out of Florida.
107th Overall RB, Darrell Henderson, Memphis
Would love to get Henderson at 4, probably don't go here if we address back earlier. Great out of the backfield, solid pass-catcher. Breaks up what we have in Barber. He'll be a nice fit for the offense Arians will run I'm thinking. If we're talking an alternative which is a strong possibility, I'm looking for another safety prospect here, Bell out of Fresno might be here otherwise someone like Harris out of Boston College.
145th Overall - RT, Oli Udoh, Elon
I agree with PR here! This is a solid round 5 pick if we get him. Real monster prospect, he just needs coaching. Get him in here for a year, coach him up and let him learn under/spell Dotson. He'll get reps, Dotson will have trouble holding up a full sixteen games. I think it's a great situation here for a guy like this. I don't see him offering a world of versatility as a swing tackle unfortunately, I think he's married to the right side. Prince, the tackle out of Ohio State would be a go here as an alternative for me.
No round 6 selection
215th Overall - LB, Gary Johnson, Texas
He's got that raw talent that could put him as a plus special teamer. Productive and a vocal leader as well. Ran a 4.4ish 40, which is ridiculous for a linebacker. I like getting special teamers here so I'm looking for someone with those qualities, usually a good linebacker or tight end in round 7, my alternative and one of my favorite low round prospects from the class would be Hodge from Buffalo.
UDFA Watch - LB Khalil Hodge, Buffalo
All this guy does is produce, he's a football player. He didn't get a combine invite and scouts are concerned with his athleticism. I do think Hodge will be a two down backer, but I also think he could be a gem on special teams.
