2019 Mock draft

[Boltjolt]

He is too slow for the NFL and his low round, or undrafted status will reflect that. He is a good player and his point of attack is very good but for the NFL he is too slow. Scouts had Hodge from 4.95 to 5.03.

There was a LB from W Virginia, or Virginia tech.. ... One of those,... some years ago that people were high on in the forums, rated a mid rounder If memory serves and he ran a 5.0 at the combine and that was it for him.
Not saying Hodge will go undrafted but he could. He can play, he just isn't very fast.

Edit... His name is Kai Parham of Virginia in the 2006 draft. Ran a 5.04 forty, 30 reps, 7.35 3 cone. This is after a 103 tackles season and he entered the draft as a junior. Ran slow, undrafted.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Walter at all or Draftek. The two i think are the best are CBS aka draftscout and Thehuddlereport. THR not only has a value board,but they have been keeping stats of the "experts" for years of how they do compared to themselves.

don't really do cbssports post Rang/Brugler.... haven't seen any indication from Trapasso that he is bringing much of anything of note/significance to the table ??

and thought THR was a paid site ?? was fun to look @their board.... http://www.thehuddlereport.com/valueboard.shtml

29 Dexter Lawrence
37 Jeffery Simmons
38 Nasir Adderley
52 Kaleb McGary
64 Justin Layne
73 Erik McCoy
84 Yodny Cajuste
95 Stidham
105 Josh Oliver
114 Bryce Love
115 Isaiah Johnson
122 Te'Von Coney
139 Isaiah Prince
153 TJ Edwards
184 Jalen Hurd

my picks are in bold, albeit am hard pressed to pass on the likes of McCoy and B. Love.... Coney/Edwards are on there only cuz Telesco said LB was a priority.

personally am planning on going QB/Stidham @28, as think he's gone before 60, and guessing there will be an Olineman available @60 ??

want the QB, then linemen day two, and then am looking for playmakers, i.e. Love/Hurd after that (if not before).

I couldn't find a 40-time for Hodge. He wasn't invited to the combine... maybe that's why. If he is indeed a 4.95, then I think he'll have trouble in the NFL. It is interesting that thehuddlereport has Cashman @ #50 and Hanks @ #90. I think that's too high for Cashman but just about right for Hanks. That puts them both in our 3rd round cluster.

My biggest point is that I don't rely on these boards for my evaluations. I do the evaluations for myself, based on what I see on tape. Quoting an "expert" or draftboard does nothing for me. If I've watched them myself and an "expert" has a vastly different opinion than mine... I'm going with my instincts/evaluations. I've got an entertaining personal story about Daniel Jeremiah if you're interested...

Hodge ran only the one forty at his pro day. This article had him at 5.03 but I've also seen one at 4.95 so he is in that range.

I understand watching them for yourself. We aren't scouts but there are times I disagree. Like everyone else, pundits and scouts just fall in love with a player and over evaluate them.
I don't think Cashman goes that high at all but I do like to compare from those couple of sites when I feel I have a good read on players. There are many I haven't seen this year and doing a lot of catchup on it but I don't like to look at highlight videos. I don't feel that shows me what I want to see. I'm not as hard core into the draft as I used to be. Still like it but it took up too much of my time that I felt wasn't important or anything real productive.

gonna put a good word in for Walter as 'specially early in the (draft) season, there is info few and far between, and whether you/eye agree w/him or not, he has a lot of info to peruse, pretty much on a weekly/even daily basis, and all thru the season as well.

he is a good benchmark to get a feeling for things, when others have yet to circle their wagons so to speak.

and drafttek has some wonky rankings now and then, albeit they have improved over the years, and again they are one of the earlier sites on board, as far as a full seven round mock and also like to look at their team needs page, and individual rankings.

used to like draftcountdown, but he doesn't really do scouting reports anymore, albeit he still has a comprehensive ranking by position, and does the occasional mock draft worth reading.

and don't think cbssports has much of anything to do w/draftscout any longer, as Rob Rang is w/the Maven if I'm seeing things true there, and Brugler w/the Athletic, a paid site.

thanx for the mention of tHR.... will give it another look see before too very long.

Walter and Draftek are awful for rankings although I'd probably call Draftek worse
.
The extras are cool as Walter gives pro day results but doesn't list them all for example, Buffalo isn't on there.
GBN I think used to give pro day results but I havent been there in some years.
Draftscout will post the pro day results on the players card but they are making it harder to find those now.

THR used to be a pay site to see their board after being free for a while and I have paid the $10 a couple times but lately they have been showing them again and looks like it has even been updated so they are keping up on it.

Sometimes they miss someone all together and don't have them in their rankings at all and guys like Cashman are too high bit overall I think they are one of the better ones.....though Drew Broylhart who is one of their eval guys said Rivers would never be a starting QB and should move to TE lmao. I'll never forget that crazy eval.

Interesting 4 round mock by Chad Rueter. I could definitely be on board with this for us.

[beachcomber]

what if we don't draft DT, DE, ILB or an OG ??

what if we bring back both Square and Luiget @IDL, go w/what we have @DE and LB, and stick w/Feeney and Schofield @OG ??

gonna volunteer we draft two DBs (FS & CB), an OT & TE, a wideout and a QB, and wait on the UDFAs for a punter to challenge the Canuck.

That's pretty solid....I'd ignore the WR position, but I like the other prospects, and where they are picked. I would call that a pretty good draft...from a fan perspective.
