HAMS NEW MOCK (accounts for late developments)

[Green Jets & Ham]

This might be my final mock, unless more breaking news or late developments come down, but I have to submit a new mock to account for the news that Rueben Foster failed some drug tests and Conley (CB) is being investigated for alleged rape.

So I have Foster sliding a bit and Conley out of the first round entirely.

Still have the feeling the Saints are in the market to trade up especially after signing Adrian Peterson makes them prime candidates for a blockbuster trade with us... 11th & 32nd for the 6th is one part of the deal but the other comes in compensation either 4th this year or next year for the likes of Sheldon Richardson... Not to mention other player(s) who may be on the trade block...

Think the Browns should or could be curiously thinking to jump ahead of us to trade up to the Titans pick which does make sense, and not for Mahomes who fits better with the 9ers but not at the 2nd pick but possibly a trade back into the back end of the first for him... Trubisky is a prime target for the Browns if they trade back up to No. 5 overall...

Heard from a few scouts that the Chargers albeit are in need for a coverage safety are contemplating taking O.J. Howard if he is still on the board... also hearing Buffalo is seeking a defensive player, no knowledge on who but it is a front seven prospect... Also expect the Texans to trade up for a quarterback, not named Deshaun Watson...

If we do make the trade with the Saints we could double down with the Texans with that 11th pick and end up with two late firsts, two seconds and two thirds in the first three rounds could be very explosive to re-establishing our core needs... Not to mention opening up the door for a team like the Browns with those additional selection could vault back into the back of the first round either 25th via Texans or 32nd via Saints if we do pull off those trade downs...

I still don't see any potential 5th year team option talent after the top five in this draft... If we could stockpile day two selections and completely move out of the first round ending up with three or four second round picks and four or five third round picks with more ammo in day three of the draft and would be all for it...
