Wow my mock about a month ago? So unrealistic now despite the trade backs -- I had us landing Hooker, Mahomes, and Corey Davis .
Anyway, here it is -- everything's based on Dog's big board.
We draft our impending franchise superstar QB in Mahomes. With Zach Cunningham we get a super fast and athletic dynamic playmaker that is needed with our new base scheme. And the same goes with Williams -- he's probably the next best FS behind Hooker and on par with Buddha Baker. Dude is a instinctive ballhawking safety. He may be a little soft but that's fine. Shaquil Griffin is a big and fast (4.38) and sticky CB who will fit perfectly in the scheme.. Leggett, Jones, and Chesson, are nice offensive pieces that we can work into Shanny's system. And then we round out the draft with some luxury picks and defensive building blocks. Sleeper pass rushers in Ekuban and Mathis, and then Johnson would help solidify a nice d-line rotation.
Round 1, pick 2: Patrick Mahomes, QB Texas Tech
Round 2, pick 34: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Round 3, pick 66: Marcus Williams, S, Utah
Round 4, pick 109: Shaquill Griffin, CB, Central Florida
Round 4, pick 143: Jaleel Johnson, DT, Iowa
Round 5, pick 146: Samson Ekuban, OLB, Eastern Washington
Round 5, pick 161: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson
Round 6, pick 198: Joe Mathis, DE/OLB, Washington
Round 6, pick 202: Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP
Round 7 pick 219: Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan

thats the only qb id even think about at 2. Gruden says hes the best, he knows more than me. His ceiling is the highest, and no qb screams "Im what shanny wants" like Mahomes.
But realistically its early, and no Qb is as good as the top two free agents next year, at least thats the major opinion. So waiting could be the best option.

I really like this draft. Rounds 2 through 4 instant starters, all included my mock too. Mathis is my draft crush, would be willing to draft anywhere from the 4th rd on

Just bumping this for posterity's sake. I saw my mock draft of Travis Kelce in 2013 disappeared :)
