Quickie TOP 11 Pre Combines Mock

Green Jets & Ham

King Of All Draftniks
Jet Fanatics
  1. BUCS - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
  2. TITANS - Randy Gregory, DE/OLB, Nebraska
  3. JAGUARS - Leonard Williams, DL, USC
  4. RAIDERS - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
  5. REDSKINS - Danny Shelton, NT, Washington
  6. NY JETS - Kevin White, WR, West Virginia
  7. BEARS - Dante Fowler, DE/OLB, Florida
  8. FALCONS - Shane Ray, DE/OLB, Missouri
  9. GIANTS - Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
  10. RAMS - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
  11. VIKINGS - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville

I think the Bucs will take a QB #1 even though I don't view either QB as the best player in the draft, but based on need and positional value I'm pretty sure they'll take Mariota or Winston. I've gone back and forth on which one they'll take and I'm still not sure, but if it were me and my team played in a warm weather city/division where a QB can thrive without a cannon, I would take the much safer pick in Mariota. I might not if I viewed Winston as an Andrew Luck level prospect, but I don't, so I'm taking the kid who I know will work hard and keep his nose clean as the face of the franchise.

After the Bucs, I don't see a QB going in the TOP 5 unless there's a trade, so I believe 'the other guy' will slide to the Jets and Maccagnan will be under immense pressure to take him, but IMO it would be a mistake. First because I think Winston is far from a sure thing, and I don't only mean off the field, I see a lot of flaws in his game too, and second because I believe we would be leaving some elite prospects on the board to take Winston, #1 WR's like Cooper or White or elite edge rushers like Fowler and Ray. I hope Maccagnan can withstand the pressure and take the BPA at a position of need. If the board fell this way, that would be White, Fowler or Ray in my view, all of whom I would take ahead of Winston.

Thoughts?

If the Jets took White with Winston on the board, I think I would be done with them

Ham honestly, if the Jets pass on Winston, I will put the Jets into that same dark spot in my heart that is currently reserved for the Knicks
I understand, FG, you're a lot higher on Winston than I am, so I don't blame you for feeling that way.

I don't think TB passes on him he played college ball in florida he is familiar with the area and people in florida want him. Prob be alot of backlash on the radio if they passed on him.

Unless Winston is seen with 100 yards of the offices of Dr James Andrews, he isnt getting beyond the Jets.

titans have to many holes and i doubt they want foles so i don't think the eagles want to move that far I am thinking they are hoping he falls to us and then can trade with us.

The Titans are also telling anyone who will listen that they remain high on Zach Mettenberger, which could be a smoke screen, but I don't see the reason for it, if anything it behooves the Titans to convince Philly that they are leaning towards taking a QB at #2, it does them no good to suggest otherwise. Also they recently hired Dick LeBeau as their new DC, and elite edge rushers are absolutely vital to his scheme, thats why I have them taking Gregory.

At this point I can't see him getting past TB either unless some other major transgression turns up.
