Instant Analysis: We’ve opened the kimono (I know, it’s huge) and give you our full first round mock. 6 Quarterbacks in the First Round?!?! That sounds crazy, but not impossible. With the fifth-year team option for first round picks, both Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph stand a chance to sneak into the first round. The more I think about it, the more Lamar Jackson to the Saints makes a ton of sense. That offense fits his skill set, and there’s no expectation to come in right away. He can sit back and learn from one of the best in Drew Brees.
Yes, he’s a quarterback.
Mike McGlinchey takes a huge jump up to Cleveland at 4. Yes, Saquon Barkley is still there, but Cleveland just lost Joe Thomas and they need a left tackle to protect their newest franchise quarterback. It’s tough to predict trades, but Cleveland would be in a great spot to trade to someone like Buffalo, and then grab McGlinchey at 12. Speaking of franchise quarterbacks, the Colts surprise everyone and take Josh Allen. Sure, the Colts have Andrew Luck, but here’s the problem: He can’t throw a football. That’s generally a problem if you’re a quarterback. Sure, maybe he’ll be fine…or maybe he’ll put you through quarterback hell (again). Drafting Josh Allen is a win-win, and a necessary insurance policy for the Colts. If Luck returns to form, the Colts can trade Allen for a bevy of picks and/or players…and if, you know, Luck still can’t throw a football, then the Colts just drafted their next franchise quarterback.
Elsewhere, Dallas will now be looking for a receiver to replace Dez…and they can stay right in their backyard and get Courtland Sutton.
Dez who?
If Buffalo stays put, I like them to go offense with both picks. Calvin Ridley would be hard to pass up at 12, and they need to strengthen their offense line with both Richie Incognito and Eric Wood not returning (FWIW, I’m not entirely convinced Richie’s retiring…this reeks of contract negotiation strategy). Regardless, offensive line is still an area of need, and they’ll have plenty of options at 22 for an interior lineman. Also, can we get a change.org petition going to get Incognito a broadcasting job? Now that’ll boost ratings!
Are you ready for some football, motherfuckers!
