Not to mention it was his mock that lead me to this one.
ROUND 1- Trade with Jaguars, They get Fournette, we get the 8th, and 35th pick.
4. We draft MALIK HOOKER!
The Best Free safety in the draft! Ball hawk skills, when we were good we caused a lot of turnovers. He will instantly start and keep ward at CB.
WE TRADE BACK INTO THE FIRST! We have to get ahead of KC because they are going to take Mahomes.
We give up the 34, 109, 161 for Seattle's 26th pick. Seattle is also looking for a DB, and there's plenty of em.
26. We take the QB of the FUTURE PAT MAHOMES!!!!
The only QB in the draft who specifically is what Kyle shanahan vocalized he wants. Sure he needs to sit and learn, But this guy is a pure thrower, can buy time in the pocket like Rodgers, Will continue to look to pass before he runs as a last resort. But he can run, He reminds me of Russel Wilson with more athleticism, and a better arm. This guy can make every throw, his footwork has already improved, but needs to still get better at it. Theres too much to say about this guy, he has the strongest arm (yes stronger than Kaep) but he has touch and can drop it in a bucket too.
35. Chidobe Awuzie - Can definitely come in and move the depth chart around. I believe he could start day 1.
Lockdown corner and fluid athlete with terrific awareness for the position. Good closing speed and times his leaps well to break up receptions. Four-year starter with extensive experience coming out of the competitive Pac-12.
66. Jordan Willis - We get our starting LEO in the 3rd. DUDE IS A STRAIGHT BEAST
coach Bill Snyder called Willis "the epitome" of Kansas State football. He was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2016 and also garnered third-team Associated Press All-American honors, as he made 52 tackles and led his team with 17.5 tackles for loss and topped the conference with 11.5 sacks. This dude is a freak!!!! We need that at LEO.
Watch the link below, dude might be the most explosive guy on defense immediately. High motor, big time work ethic!

143. Julie'n Davenport OT - You win games in the trenches. He is a project because he played against low level talent. I believe once he sits a year or 2 he can take over for staley or brown.
146. Devonte Fields - Dude is obviously a beast, only this low because of character concerns. he can probably play any lb position. Dude is a pass rusher period. And we will need to find a way to get his talents on the field at some point, he will need time. But the talent is there.
161. LB ELIJAH LEE - talent is there but needs to strengthen his legs a bit. AT the least he can be depth, at the best he can replace bow.
186. Aaron Jones - Reminds me of frank gore period. Patient, can read a hole and explode through it, can make the cut back. Not going to break away for 60, will get caught 40 yards down field like Gore. Same exact build as gore too.
The rest of the picks trenches. In my opinion this draft gives us 3 immediate starters, the FQB we are looking for, depth, and some players who will fight for time.
