R1 ILB Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame
R2 NT Jarran Reed, Alabama
R3 WR Will Fuller, Notre Dame
R4 TE Nick Vannett, Ohio State
R4 DE Adam Gotsis, Virginia Tech
R4 G Sebastian Tretola, Arkansas
R5 FS DeAndre Houston-Carson, William & Mary
R6 OLB Joe Schobert, Wisconsin
R7 WR Keyarris Garrett, Tulsa
Probably the least TT-like of any mock I've done. A Wisconsin player and a bunch of big-school picks. Jaylon Smith has an outside chance of falling to us because of his knee injury earlier in the month. He would be great in our defense. Jarran Reed (some people have him as a 1st rounder) would be a good contingency for Raji's ultimate departure. Speaking of Raji, comp pick Sebastian Tretola has a similar expression in some of the pictures I saw of him. Kind of funny, really.
I really like TE Nick Vannett. I think he was wasted as a receiver with Ohio State because of all their talent. I'm really hoping we can get him, I think he has a good chance to be an all-around good tight-end in the style of Jason Witten, if not as awesome.
I wanted to find a RB in there somewhere. I guess we could go with C.J. Prosise instead of Gotsis, but then we've got 3 players from Notre Dame in one draft. Oh well.

I personally think Joe Schobert will go much higher than round 6. Call me a homer, but here is the thing. The guy will test off the charts at the combine.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Smith had the bad news type of knee injury, he tore more than just his ACL.
Yes, it was ACL and the LCL as well. The LCL will heal on its own without surgery, typically, unless it's completely torn. There was supposedly no meniscus damage, which is a good sign. There was fear of nerve damage in his knee, but those fears (according to what I have read) seem unfounded.
It's possible he would be on PUP and could only participate after the first 6 weeks. It's also possible he misses the whole season. At a certain point, teams are going to ask themselves whether missing 6, 10, or 16 games from a guy is worth "trading up" to get a top-10 linebacker. Since it's quite possible he would not even produce in 2016, contending teams might not be inclined to invest in him. That could mean, if he gets beyond pick 18-22 range, it would take a rebuilding team trading up back into the first round for him to get snagged in the first round. I think it's a savvy long-term investment, if his knee checks out.
I have seen him listed as a 3th rounder in places. In others he's a 6 or 7. It's quite possible his stock will improve with him combine. He's a little undersized for a 3-4 OLB (which is the position he best projects to, according to my reading), but with the NFL focusing more and more on specialization (and pass rush), he could maybe sneak into the 2nd round, if a team falls in love. Only one team has to value him as a 2nd or 3rd rounder to ruin my mock placement, which is more than possible.
I really like my original mock draft. I want to do another one, but whats the point?
I like the SS from USC to play a Rover type role. He is a thick safety that can tackle. Though he didn't stand out to me against UW. I would love a shot to trade up for Jack or Smith at ILB, but that isn't going to happen. They are going to get picked top 10 in my opinion.

Well that's enough linemen for two offenses.
I don't want a very young tackle from Auburn, I want a veteran.

Joe Schobert is apparently a 3-4 ILB according to several anonymous scouts who got his numbers from the Shrine Circus. (6' 1 1/2", 247 and short arms)
Bretsky will be along tomorrow to start the draft Joe the Show thread.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
