That said, these days everyone gives hybrid looks anyways so hopefully we'll some looks in that instance throughout the year.

Not out of the realm of possibilities yet.

The defense scheme thus far has been all talk and writings... lets see what Saleh(the quiet one) does.

The three I really think: Jets, Bills, and Jaguars. (You would think Cleveland).

Veteran teams that I think could try and stash one for later: Chargers, Saints, Cardinals, Giants, Steelers

...and it wouldn't shock me if the Seahawks decided to go early on a QB this year.

Joe Mixon - RB - Sooners

Yahoo Sports' Benjamin Allbright believes that the Broncos would be willing to trade up to select Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon.

The Broncos won't be on the clock in the second round until pick No. 51. There is a solid chance that Mixon will not be available at that slot. The Packers (No. 33), Bengals (No. 41), Eagles (No. 43) and Vikings (No. 48) are among the teams selecting ahead of Denver that have been linked to Mixon during the process, with Walter Football's Charlie Campbell reporting earlier this week that the Packers -- who traded out of the first round on Thursday -- are extremely interested in the controversial Oklahoma back.

Cam Robinson - T - Crimson Tide

ESPN's Steve Muench slotted Alabama T Cam Robinson to the Seahawks at No. 34 in his Day 2 mock draft.

The Seahawks need a tackle, and they're in a prime position to stop Robinson's slide with the second pick in Round 2 if inclined to do so. Seattle has also reportedly explored options to trade down again.

Kevin King - DB - Huskies

According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys considered taking Washington CB Kevin King with their first-round pick.

Dallas took defensive end Taco Charlton instead. King will probably be long gone by the time the Cowboys pick in Round 2, but it's a good bet that Dallas will take the best corner on their board at that time. "As good as it was, to help us get a good pressure player at the bottom of the first round, I think the draft sets up even better for us to get a really nice corner in the bottom of the second," executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Florida’s Teez Tabor and Quincy Wilson, UCLA's Fabian Moreau and Clemson's Cordrea Tankersley all made official pre-Draft visits to Dallas.

Adam Shaheen - TE -

Mile High Sports' Benjamin Allbright and Real GM's Jeff Risdon have both heard that the Broncos could target Ashland TE Adam Sheehan on Day 2.

John Elway is on record saying he wants to add a "real tight end" in Rds. 3-5. Sheehan, a hulking 6-foot-6, 278-pound late-bloomer, is widely expected to go on Friday night (Rds. 2-3). NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares him to Vance McDonald. "Big, fast and athletic, Shaheen will immediately interest teams who are looking for size and traits," Zierlein wrote. "He's a poorer blocker than what might be expected for a player with his frame, but he's also a much more dangerous pass catching target."

Actually Mccafrey for the Panthers to me is a great pick. You got a fast back who can split out... In short Yardage where in years past everyone knew it was Cam running now hes got the fast back that he can pitch it to... Opens up a lot for their offense.. To me it makes teams have to prepare for different schemes and plays. In the Pistol Mccaffrey could become truly dangerous be a lot like Shady McCoy...


I heard Mike Mayock compare him to Shades of McCoy and honestly it doesn't make sense. He's more like the other Buffalo Bill RB in 2016, Reggie Bush.



The Shady McCoy comparison is off IMO. Shady is much more elusive--almost like Barry Sanders in terms their shake & bake ability / being able to make the first and second defender miss. You put McCoy in a phone booth with a LB and I'm almost certain that he'll find a way to make that defender miss. McCaffrey is a little stiffer in his juking ability when compared to Shady. Still there are a lot of other things that McCaffrey is able to do that I think are rare which then warrants a top 10 pick. He's going to be a household name by year two. Similar to the Chargers' Melvin Engram, he's going to need a little time to adjust, but once they (him adjusting and the coaches identifying his strengths) figure it out he'll be a top 10 fantasy football player in no time.


What are his strengths? Where is McCaffrey ELITE compared to NFL players? He's good in a lot of ways, but good doesn't warrant a top 10 selection. He'll never live up to being that kind of player.

I’m told both the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets have quarterback Davis Webb in their sights and each team is trying to move up to secure his services. It’s a good possibility any of the teams selecting from picks 33-to-37 would be amiable to trading down for the right compensation.

Living out on the west coast I've seen a lot of McCaffrey. He's a true Swiss Army knife, RB, slot receiver, returner. Kid has game in all facets and is a burner. He'll do wonders for Cam out of the backfield when teams are pinning their ears back and keying in on him. Solid pick by the Panthers, would have loved him on our team.

I actually like Webb as a developmental guy but this is way too high and Kizer is on the board so I don't understand the logic here at all.
