WHINING REVIEW
2. Solomon Thomas DE Stanford
34. Tim Williams OLB Alabama
66. Julie’N Davenport OT Bucknell
109. K.D. Cannon WR Baylor
143. Taywan Taylor WR Western Kentucky
146. & 198. TRADED TO CLEVELAND for Brock Osweiler QB
161. Damien Mama OG USC
209. Jeremy Cutrer CB Middle Tennessee State
219. Xavier Coleman CB Portland State
Before the mock draft the GM had to prioritize the whiners needs. DE, LB, CB‘s all require strengthening on the defensive side of the ball.
If you have a look at the free agency acquisitions from the whiners -- 3xLB, 3xWR. Malcolm Smith, Brock Coyle and Dekoda Watson all picked up at LB in FA -- not going to be a huge problem for many teams IMO. Tim Williams is a huge pick up at OLB and should make an immediate impact.
Solomon Thomas I believe had to be picked up at pick 2 provides much needed aggression and threat at DE.
I left CB until last as with this mock draft CB’s went very early!! My view is CB’s can be made – they are after all failed WR’s --
-- if coached well and they have brains and the skill set - Jeremy Cutrer & Xavier Coleman should be able to provide some cover. Could have chosen other more talented CB's but went for character ahead of raw talent.
Offensively -- there is a massive hole at QB – the acquisition of Hoyer should help things but certainly needs some quality pressure placed on him and a reserve should he go down. Traded out two picks 146 & 198 for Brock Osweiler QB who would add some strength to the QB division and would possibly replace Hoyer as the starter.
Bolstered up the O-Line with Julie’N Davenport OT & some size with Damien Mama OG.
Brought in some WR strength with Taywan Taylor and KD Cannon. Cannon may have been a bit of a reach but I liked him on film.Taywan Taylor was a bargain at 143 IMO.
This should enable my beloved whiners to beat the Rams twice again next season – can’t believe I just wrote that..
Think I’m going to be physically ill…
