7 picks, probably 12 holes. If we could get 3 picks for our #1, I'd have to seriously consider it. A 1st, 2nd and 2nd next year would be tempting. Trade next year's 2nd for a 3rd this year. Hopefully get Ramczyk later in 1st.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock answered questions about the 2017 NFL Draft for more than two hours on a teleconference Monday, and suggested various prospects as strong potential fits for a number of NFL clubs. College Football 24/7 compiled a quick look at some of the connections Mayock made between a dozen clubs and their potential draftees.
Los Angeles Chargers
Ohio State safety Malik Hooker "fits the Chargers like a glove," Mayock said. And with the No. 7 overall pick, either Hooker or LSU safety Jamal Adams would represent good value for the club at a position of need. Mayock noted that both the New York Jets (No. 6) and the Chargers need help on the offensive line, but there isn't an offensive lineman who would represent good value for either club that early in the draft.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Report: Browns considering Mitch Trubisky with No. 1 pick

The Browns are “strongly considering” taking former North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, Cleveland.com reported Thursday.
Trubisky grew up in the Cleveland area and is one of the top quarterbacks in this year’s draft class. He gave up his final college season to enter this year’s draft despite being North Carolina’s starter for just one season.
Trubisky measuring in at a shade over 6-foot-2 on Thursday was news for a couple of reasons. Browns Coach Hue Jackson said in his Thursday talk with reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that he believes being 6-foot-2 is an important threshold for NFL quarterbacks, and earlier in the week NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said he had heard whispers that Trubisky would be closer to 6-foot-1 than Trubisky’s listed height of 6-foot-3 at North Carolina.
Jackson told reporters the Browns haven’t finalized any decisions or their rankings of this year’s quarterbacks.
“Obviously [Trubisky] is a tremendous player,” Jackson said Thursday. “There are a lot of good players in this draft. It’s just so early for us to determine exactly where we are. All those things will be discussed and thrown around as we continue to move forward.”
Jackson said he’s aware that Trubisky has been quoted as saying he’d love to play for the Browns and said his hometown roots will be discussed when the Browns meet with Trubisky throughout the process.
“Some guys play better when they’re at home, some guys don’t,” Jackson said. “We’d have to know all those things. And we’ll do the digging on all these guys that way.”Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

SF wants a qb at 2 and Chicago has to have a qb at 3.
I read rumors last month about the 1st 3 picks being QBs. And there's more press about the QBs right now than anyone else. So I don't discount it from happening.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

This is the worst case scenario
Bucky Brooks mock draft 2.0: Year of the quarterback slide?

My first mock draft of 2017 came right after the conclusion of the Senior Bowl, which helped solidify, in my mind at least, the first-round statuses of a few players, like LSU CB Tre'Davious White, Alabama TE O.J. Howard and Temple pass rusher Haason Reddick.
While not a whole lot has transpired since then, you'll notice player movement from my first mock to this one, including the absence of a quarterback in the top half of the first round. That's because I've had a chance to watch a lot more tape on this draft class and also speak to many within the league to get a better understanding of where the prospects are starting to slot onto draft boards.
With that said, we are entering a two-week period with two events that might have the biggest impact on the first round. The NFL Scouting Combine and free agency will further re-shape how the first 32 picks of the draft could unfold. For now, this is how I see it.
RANK
1
BROWNS
Myles Garrett - DE, Texas A&M: Browns opt for the best player available instead of reaching for a QB at the top of the draft. Garrett gives them a Julius Peppers-like edge rusher to build around.
RANK
2
49ERS
Malik Hooker - S, Ohio State: John Lynch resists the temptation to reach on a QB to select a dynamic centerfielder with outstanding instincts and ball skills.
RANK
3
BEARS
Jamal Adams - S, LSU: Adams is exactly what the Bears need between the hashes -- a "pack leader" with a versatile game and a knack for playmaking.
RANK
4
JAGUARS
Solomon Thomas - DE, Stanford: Tom Coughlin puts his personal touch on the Jaguars' transformation with the selection of Thomas. The ultra-athletic defender checks off all of the boxes (smart, tough, fast) on Coughlin's character sheet.
RANK
5
TITANS
Marshon Lattimore - CB, Ohio State: The Titans need a legitimate CB1 to hold up in a division with a number of speedy pass catchers on the perimeter.
RANK
6
JETS
Jonathan Allen - DT, Alabama: Allen might not make sense on paper but his arrival could allow the Jets to trade Sheldon Richardson to acquire more playmakers on both sides of the ball.
RANK
7
CHARGERS
Jabrill Peppers - S, Michigan: The Michigan standout would add some juice to the Chargers' secondary as a versatile playmaker. He will remind Chargers' fans of four-time Pro Bowler Eric Weddle.
RANK
8
PANTHERS
Derek Barnett - DE, Tennessee: Despite ranking near the top of the charts in sacks, the Panthers need a legitimate pass rusher off the edge to alleviate some of the stress on the back end. Barnett might be the best pure pass-rushing threat in the 2017 class.
RANK
9
BENGALS
Corey Davis - WR, Western Michigan: Finding a playmaker opposite A.J. Green should be a priority for the Bengals. Davis is an ideal WR2 with the size and route running skills to destroy cornerbacks on the backside.
RANK
10
BILLS
Sidney Jones - CB, Washington: With Stephon Gilmore set to depart as a free agent, the Bills could turn their attention toward finding an ideal CB1. Jones is the cleanest cover corner in this draft.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
