\"\"<\/a>One week to go!\u00a0 Big risers (Christian McCaffrey) and fallers (Reuben Foster) this week as the Draft starts to pan out a little.\u00a0 This is about the time where teams use some serious misdirection and smokescreens.\u00a0 If you\u2019re hearing for the first time this week that Team X is in love with Y player, it\u2019s probably not true.\u00a0 Teams are always playing this game of inflating players, or critiquing players, in the hopes that the real player they want will fall to them.<\/p>\n

Also, Roid Rage finally stopped watching April baseball (it doesn\u2019t matter bruh, check back in 5 months) and posted his first mock<\/a>.\u00a0 He brought in some heavy hitters (pun intended) and bold moves.\u00a0 Go check it out.\u00a0 But first, check out what Ginger King has in store for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Instant Anlaysis:\u00a0 The Browns don\u2019t get so lucky this time\u2026as Western New York\u2019s<\/span> America\u2019s team, the Buffalo Bills, make a splash and get their (next) quarterback of the future (wait, isn\u2019t Jim Kelly\u2019s nephew in this Draft?)\u00a0 Anyway, Mitchell to the Bills makes sense.\u00a0 Tyrod\u2019s essentially on a one year deal, and Mitchell really could use a year on the sidelines to learn the NFL way (he\u2019s not a ready-made pro-product like Andrew Luck or Cam Newton).\u00a0 Plus, Tyrod and Mitchell have similar playing-styles.\u00a0 Mitchell is not a pure pocket passer\u2026he ran for 5 tds last season and played mostly out of the shotgun.\u00a0 Learning from Tyrod for a year is the smart and practical thing to do. [checks Bills coaching roster to make sure the Ryan brothers are not there].\u00a0 This could totally happen.<\/p>\n

Turning to the real New York team, I can\u2019t really envision a scenario where they don\u2019t pick Njoku if he\u2019s available.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get real for a second.\u00a0 This pick is going to be offense.\u00a0 The Giants are returning 10 of 11 starters on defense, and their problems last year were on the offensive side, with a rotating cast of linemen and I almost had them take Garrett Bolles, but there\u2019s no real clear-cut can\u2019t miss offensive lineman this years.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lot of flyers, and you don\u2019t want to spend a first-round pick on a flyer.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I think the Giants will wait until later in the draft to select a lineman, maybe someone like Tayler Moton.\u00a0 The beauty of Njoku (or Howard but I don\u2019t really see him falling that far or the Giants trading up) is that he provides both offensive line support plus a receiving threat.\u00a0 This 2 for 1 helps to solve the Giant\u2019s biggest need.<\/p>\n

Biggest winner is Christian McCaffrey, who vaults into the Top 10.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard a lot of rumors about this is the pick for Carolina, and I\u2019m starting to buy it.\u00a0 Would improve both the running and passing game.\u00a0 Cam needs weapons, both receiving and running.\u00a0 The only concern is durability and is he a three-down player.\u00a0 But the talent may be too much to pass up.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Rueben Foster and his diluted urine sample continue to fall.\u00a0 This latest news, coupled with being asked to leave the Combine for arguing with a hospital worker (true story), might move him out of the first round altogether.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
