My sources tell me that if Cook is on the board when we pick he will be a Buc...so I honestly just looked to see if he was picked in this and made the pick without even thinking about who else was available :lol:

I think he'll be very good. We probably did more background investigating on Jameis than any team has for any player in the history of the NFL so if they can clear Cook then I don't think he'll be a problem
 
That's your commish...

I'm out. Hopefully the pick is made when I wake up fellas.

I'm typing up the post right now. 
 
The Detroit Lions select: Tim Williams OLB/DE Alabama

Analysis:  The pick of Williams for Detroit fills two needs which are OLB and the need of an edge rusher opposite of Ziggy.  Off the field issues besides, Williams is perhaps the second best pure edge rusher in this class, and is a great value for Detroit here at 21.  The concerns about his ability on the edge in stopping the run should be mitigated by moving him off the ball in Detroit's base 4-3, and later spinning him back down to DE during obvious passing situations.

With the 22nd pick of the NT NFL Mock Draft the Miami Dolphins select:





View media item 2407197


Haason Reddick, OLB, Temple

The Dolphins need more help and depth on the defensive side of the ball. When they played their best and went on a tear, all the defensive starters were on the field and healthy. By the playoffs they were playing with towel and waterboys. Last year the biggest problem came in the middle of the front 7, backers couldn't come up and stop the run. Anyone not named Kiko (who was playing out of position because of necessity) was beyond awful. With the signing of Timmons to take command of the middle, it moves Kiko back to weak side and Haason can take the strong side completing the overhaul of the Dolphins linebacking core.



Reddick's athleticism has blossomed over the past two seasons for the Owls. The former high school running back and safety showed flashes as a pass rusher in his redshirt freshman (14 tackles, four for loss, one sack) and sophomore (23 tackles, seven TFL, 1.5 sacks) seasons. He was selected for honorable mention All-American Athletic Conference honors that year, starting 12 times, making 45 tackles, 12.5 for loss, and five sacks. The Camden, New Jersey native garnered first-team all-conference recognition for head coach Matt Rhule as a senior, finishing third in the nation with 22.5 tackles for loss and leading the Owls with 10.5 sacks...

Injuries limited Reddick to just four games over last two years of high school, forcing him to walk on at Temple. The Owls staff helped him unlock his explosive athletic traits on the field, which resulted in three forced fumbles, 9.5 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss in 2016. Reddick's speed and athleticism might give him a greater shot at impacting the game as a 3-4 inside linebacker or a 4-3 WILL rather than trying to bulk up and play the edge. An ascending prospect with a high-end potential if he can continue to hone his craft.

I really had a hard time picking between two people... ultimately chose the bigger need.
 
With the 24th pick in the NT NFL Mock Draft the Oakland Raiders select:


View media item 2407297



Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan


Unless your name was Khalil Mack, chances were you weren't in the back field creating pressure and getting sacks. With the addition of Taco the Raiders can have a legitimate pass rush opposite of Mack.



Vidauntae "Taco" Charlton continually improved during his Michigan career. The first-team All-Ohio selection "crossed the border" from Pickerington, a Columbus suburb, to play for the Wolverines (along with tight end Jake Butt). He played mostly on special teams as a true freshman (two tackles), then saw his playing time increase in 2014 (19 tackles, 5.5 for loss, 3.5 sacks, one start). Though Charlton started just three games as a junior, he was a strong contributor on passing downs (30 tackles, 8.5 for loss, 5.5 sacks). Everything came together for him in 2016, garnering first-team All-Big Ten honors after leading Michigan with 9.5 sacks among his 13 tackles for loss.

Sources Tell Us:
"Really, really talented player. You won't always see it on every play so that is going to be a coach's job to get that out of him. Rushers with his size and athleticism are hard to find and they usually go very early in the draft." -- AFC executive

"Inconsistent" has been the buzzword that has followed Charlton since coming to Michigan, but he began the process of shaking it during his senior season. Charlton is an ascending prospect with the size, length, athleticism and pass-rushing potential that NFL general managers dream of. What you see today might not be what you get. While his production coming out of college will be modest, he could become a substantially better player as a pro if he's committed to the weight room and willing to absorb coaching. High-impact defensive end with all-pro potential is his ceiling. His floor is solid starter.
