Re: Way too early mock draft
We need so much help on offense that I just don't see that happening. If anything, I believe DA will choose WR of OT. We've spent plenty of picks on defense recently while ignoring the offense and the offense is suffering from it.

I'm thinking, and hoping, with Payton out of the picture the person in charge of College Player Personnel, Jeff Ireland, will be making the final decisions instead. I suspect Allen will be taking a slightly lesser role in that process than Payton held previously. |

It's different from team to team. Anybody who pays a scintilla of attention to the draft knows this. But you self-describe as someone who doesn't care about the draft, so, stop wasting everyone's time just so you can chime in. Just come back in training camp when you'll have a plethora of tweets to steal from... |

Also a Kamara trade could go a long way getting us 2 good rb.'s in the draft, so it's like a 2 for 1 type of deal with cheap contracts to boot. In my eyes it's a win win.

Re: Way too early mock draft
Yes, he did. I remember him saying that in an interview. That is to be expected, of course. He better be heavily involved. All HC's should be. But, that doesn't mean he'll be making the final decisions like Payton has done for the past decade and a half. At least I hope not. That really needs to be Ireland's job.

Re: Way too early mock draft
Jameson Williams in the 1st ?
I still think the injury will push him down to Day 2. Then again, a team (Chiefs, Bills, Rams) with weapons already in place could make a move. |

Re: Way too early mock draft
I might be alone here, but I like what I've seen from Carson Strong.
If we are talking about second round prospects, I like Strong or S Lewis Cine from Georgia. The WR crop is so deep, I've seen mocks and simulators with Metchie and Tolbert available in the third round. Either would be a solid addiction to our corps. |
