Weird to see the biggest question about a RB being his height (and too short as opposed to too tall). Is there such a thing as too short to play RB? There have been successful NFL RBs who were 5'6", and loads who are 5'10" and shorter.

Not sure I'm prepared to label that as "highly possible".... A trade with the Raiders alone seems quite unlikely, and it's hard to see them giving up #4 and a pick in the mid-20s to move up two spots. They have tons of needs, and are in a good position to land an impact player at #4. Who do you envision them moving up for? And if they do move up, it would probably be for a pass-rusher, diluting the pool of guys that we would be looking at at #4.

And if we did trade back to #4, we'd better then aggressively shop that pick to any team that might want a QB.


I can see Cardinals trading out of the #1 pick with either the Jags or the Giants so that they can get their QB. Which would then leave Bosa for us! At which point if they’re so in love and desperate enough to get Khalil Mack’s replacement in Bosa, then I see a scenario in which would cause them to give us their #4 and their 24th pick to get our #2 overall pick. It’s not a far fetched situation because this is a familiar territory for us— we traded out of the #2 pick a couple years ago with the Bears to move back one spot. So moving back 2 spots might require a 1st round pick.

1.) Haskins - Jags
2.) Bosa - Raiders
3.) Allen - Jets
4.) Williams - 49ers

And you’re right. At #4 I can see us trading back once more with the Giants or Broncos both of which would be targeting Kyler Murray.


If Bosa is there, though, I think that's actually a steal for the Raiders. If he falls, we probably need more than that to move off the pick. And it's optimistic to see Williams falling to #4. It's certainly possible, but I wouldn't count on it when contemplating that move. We also couldn't count on trading #4 if Haskins is already off the board. In your scenario, what do you do if it's Haskins, Bosa, Williams, and there's no market for the pick?


I’m okay with either Oliver or Gary at #4. Whichever of the two our coaches believes makes us better. I think they’re both stud players that can elevate our defense. Therefore even though a trade from #4 would be ideal, I also don’t believe that the sky would fall if we aren’t able to trade out.

And like you I’m still 50/50 on Allen at #2. But at #4 I think he’s worth it. I just want to see how he test at the combine.

Word is that today's practices moved indoors due to weather, and media was not allowed. Sucks.

He's an interesting player who would probably be a nice complement to Pettis, but I'm not sure he'll be there in the 2nd, and I don't really want to use our 2nd on a WR for the second year in a row. If he's there, we probably have to consider him, but if the value is comparable I'd rather look at DE (depending upon our first round pick, of course), CB, S, or LB. OG is in the mix, too, but I'd like to think we could add a guy for the ZBS in the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th.

We need depth behind George Kittle. I’d much rather draft his clone in T.J. Hockenson. We would destroy teams in 2 TE sets.

I'm lukewarm on adding a TE with a high pick. Shanahan likes a FB, and we have a very good one (granted I thought we'd see more catches out of him). I'm all for adding a TE, but I'd prefer to wait and take a developmental guy. I'd love to see us use our first two, and possibly even first three picks on defense.

I’m still a big fan of Love:

Bryce Love - RB - Cardinal

Walter Football's Charlie Campbell projects the Bills to select Stanford RB Bryce Love with the 74th pick in his three-round mock draft.

Love (5'10/202) likely would have been a first-round pick -- or not around much longer after -- if he had left after his sensational junior season. There's no chance of that happening now, and Love is really going to have to impress at his pro day (he'll be limited at the combine) if he's going to go this high, even. Campbell notes that Love has been compared to Chris Johnson, and the Bills need a long-term answer at running back. If he's the player we saw in 2017, he could be a steal.

D.K. Metcalf - WR - Rebels

The Draft Network's Kyle Crabbs projects the Raiders to select Missouri WR D.K. Metcalf with the fourth pick in his latest mock draft.

Metcalf (6'4/230) was recently cleared to return to football activities after his neck injury ended his season in October. He also had a broken foot in 2016, so the medicals are going to have to clear for him to be drafted in the first round. As Crabbs notes, the Raiders have long had a love for this type of athlete, and with his size, ball skills and speed, he has as much upside as any wideout in this class.

Marquise Brown - WR - Sooners

An anonymous scout told Bob McGinn Football that Oklahoma WR Marquise Brown reminds them of Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill.

We've heard Brown compared to Desean Jackson before, but the Hill come is new, and quite frankly, more flattering; at least in terms of on the field. THe scout notes that Brown is tiny, but he calls the wideout a "stud," and his ability with the ball in his hands and to get open is impressive. Because of his small stature (5'10/166) there are going to be concerns, but his skill set gives him a chance to be the first wideout selected in this draft.

Charles Omenihu - DL - Longhorns

Jon Ledyard of The Draft Network believes that Charles Omenihu is a sleeper that could garner first-round consideration.

Ledyard and several other analysts came away impressed with Omenihu (6'6/274) after his performance in the Senior Bowl. He notes that the former Longhorn is more likely rising into the second round, but consideration for the first 32 selections can't be ruled out right now. Ledyard believes that Omenihu has better pass-rush tools than Mississippi State's Montez Sweat, and is just as good against the run. As Ledyard notes at the end, if Omenihu stands out at the combine, he's certainly going to get first-round consideration.

Garrett Bradbury - C - Wolfpack

The Draft Network's Jon Ledyard believes that NC State senior Garrett Bradbury is one of the players who participated in the Reese's Senior Bowl who has a chance to go in the first round.

In fact, Ledyard says that Bradbury might have the best chance of any player to go in the first round outside of Missouri QB Drew Lock. The 2018 Rimington Trophy Award winner was universally praised for his play in Mobile, showing "elite" athleticism in Ledyard's eyes and impressive technique. Center's have become much more common early picks as of late, and a team that needs help in the middle of their line could procure Bradbury's services in the first 32 picks.

Jaylon Ferguson - DL - Bulldogs

NFL Draft Scout's Ric Serritella lists Louisiana Tech DE Jaylon Ferguson as one of the top 10 players he saw at the Reese's Senior Bowl.

Ferguson is one of the most volatile players in this class -- some think he's one of the best edge rushers in this class, others have a lot of concerns about how his game translates at the next level. Serritella is in the former camp. The 6-foot-4, 256-pound Ferguson impressed Serritella with his length and ability to create leverage at the point of attack. He also notes that the former Louisiana Tech star used a "variety" of different hand attacks to help get to the quarterback. The combine is going to be huge for Ferguson, but there appears to be serious first-round buzz for the defender.

Kyler Murray - QB - Sooners

Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports projects the Broncos to take Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray with the 10th pick in his latest 2019 NFL Mock Draft.

In this scenario, Murray would be the third -- and last -- first-round quarterback selected; with Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State going sixth to the Giants and Drew Lock of Missouri going a pick later to the Jaguars. Case Keenum is still under contract for one more year, and that would allow Murray to (potentially) sit for a season and learn. If Lock and Haskins are off the board, we wouldn't be shocked to see the Broncos go after Murray -- assuming they prefer him to Duke's Daniel Jones.

Drew Lock - QB - Player

According to the Denver Post's Mark Kiszla, the "worst kept secret at the Senior Bowl" was that Broncos GM John Elway is "smitten" with Missouri QB Drew Lock.

The Broncos pick at No. 10 overall, behind the also-quarterback-needy Giants (No. 6) and Jaguars (No. 7). Per the Denver Post's Ryan O'Halloran, Elway "barely left the quarterback group" during his three-day stay in Mobile. Lock is highly thought of from an upside standpoint, but he completed under 57 percent of his college throws and struggled against top competition. Incumbent Broncos starter Case Keenum lost a supporter when the team let Gary Kubiak out the door.
