LAOJoe & RTTRUTH's 9th Annual "Official" Mock Draft

the MINNESOTA VIKINGS select Kalen Ballage, RB - Arizona State

 

Under the radar guy that might be one of the best of the draft....

 

My bad. It was Haloti Ngata you signed.

 

Poe was my #1 free agent target for the Chargers in the GMO, and my most expensive...

 

Had my targets set at Chubb and Johnson, they both went, so Ballage was my 'plan B'...

 

He's an example of why I love the NFL Combine. There are several RB's I like that I didn't know much about until the Combine. Ballage is one of them...He certainly looks the part. Great athlete. Under-rated RB in my opinion..

 

Ballage is a little tall and his iii's miss. He almost had a Anthony Davis day. Not consistent.

 

I have critiques on every player left.

 

That'll keep you busy.

 

Patriots select M.J. Stewart, CB, UNC

 

No, Phylers sudden life has me interested.

 

lol! his iii's miss? huh?

 

Its a mirage... they'll blow it, lol.

 

3-0, wow.

 

The Bills are OTC.

Is anyone interested in trading up? I'll give this about 15 minutes and if no trade offers come I'll make my pick.

 

**TRADE ALERT

Buccaneers Trade:
4(2)
6(6)

Bills Trade:
3(32)

 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select: RB - John Kelly, Tennessee

 

I think Ballage runs into traffic. Just my opinion.

 

Maybe, but he can sure catch balls out of the backfield... good hands guy.

 

i gotcha.

and that's the drawback of the combine...its easier to look good in shorts with no defense on the field, that's for sure. i didn't watch a ton of his film but i saw a tough RB that just looks like he has the build for the job...I'm sure you saw more of him than I did...Could be one of those guys that just tests well.
