re: My Quarantine Mock Draft 1.0

2.0

If they wanted to go LB in the 1st:

1.24 Patrick Queen LB 6'0" 229 LSU

We all know the drill here. Queen's calling card is his athleticism. Sideline to sideline tackler, great in coverage. Very young(20yo) and new to position, in relative terms. Best football is head of him. Needs to work on tackling form & stopping power. I do think people just assume he will be available; I honestly dont know. I think theres a 65% chance he goes before the Saints pick.

Pro Comps: Eric Kendricks, Roquan Smith


3.88 Bryan Edwards WR 6'2" 212 South Carolina


Pinpointing the available WRs in the 3rd is hard. Someone is going to drop(Claypool? Hamler? Shenault? Higgins even?), probably multiple players. There are just so many good ones, I feel like teams will keep saying "lets wait", as other positions start to thin out. Edwards is a guy slipping under the radar cause he was hurt for the SR bowl and combine.

Edwards is a big target, strong YAC player, similarly built to Michael Thomas. Not exactly a big play deep threat, but great in the middle of the field and out-routes like Thomas. Has some body catching concerns. Everything Ive read, he would go late to mid 2nd RD in normal drafts, if healthy.

Pro Comps: Michael Floyd, Eric Decker


4.130 Kevin Dotson OG 6'4" 310 ULL

4 year starter at RG for ULL. Dotson is a punishing blocker in the run game. As one scout said it, "moves defenders like a pissed off club bouncer". He's competitive in the pass game, but needs work. Older player, will be 24 in September.

Pro Comps: Chris Snee, Ben Grubbs



5.169 L'Jarius Sneed CB/S 6'0" 192 La Tech

2020 is going to be a great year for Louisiana kids in the draft, as this is the 3rd one that shows up in this mock. Sneed turned heads with a 4.37 40 at the combine. Played FS for 3 years, but teams are projecting him at CB. Has some length and ball skills that teams hope to develop. More of a straight line athlete. Worst case, he is a special teams ace.


Pro Comps: Richard Marshall, Ahmad Carrol


6.203 Joe Reed WR 6'0" 224 UVA


Reed is a thick bodied WR, built like a RB. He's the best KO returner in the draft, but also flashed playing the slot.He's unpolished, but once the ball is in his hands, he makes shite happen. I could see them deploying him in multiple ways. Wildcat, RB, WR, KO return. Needs to learn route running & isnt great tracking deep passes. He is a super poor mans AJ Brown.


Pro Comps: Quincy Enuwa, really really poor mans AJ Brown

The only change that I would make is a different lb in your first mock because of the injury history.

I get it. The injury risk is there but that is kind of what you want in the 4th rd.

Cause a “safe” pick in the 4th is pretty much a career backup.

That’s something they’ll have to weigh, obviously.

I want him more and more in a Saints uniform as the days go by. A truly good second corner does a lot for a defense

Really not sure how I feel about Edwards. He feels kind of slow to me.

I thought Michael Thomas looked a little slow coming out. Not that he couldn’t be effective. But not 150catch effective lol.

They win in different ways. Edwards has some Dez Bryant in him. But no, not really a blazer

Supposedly the people at University of South Carolina speak about Edwards like he's royalty. I don't know enough about him but everyone likes him

I was going to start a thread on midround WRs but this seems like a good place to discuss it.

I’ve been eyeing Duvernay a good bit.

Van Jefferson 45g SEC. 23y 9mo

175catches, 2159yds 16td




Bryan Edwards 48g in SEC. 21y 5mo

243catches, 3045yds, 22td


I do like Jefferson too. But I think he’s capped at what he is.

WR Wonderlic Scores:
Michael Pittman 29
Bryan Edwards 28
Chase Claypool 27
Brandon Aiyuk 23
Henry Ruggs 20
Justin Jefferson 19
Denzel Mims 17
KJ Hamler 15
Laviska Shenault 14
Jalen Reagor 13
Cee Dee Lamb 12
Van Jefferson 12
Tee Higgins 11
Jerry Jeudy 9


Are the WRs always this dumb?

What do you think of Mooney?
