2(16) James Daniels, C/OG - Iowa
3(12) Jamarco Jones, OT - Ohio State
4(21) Tarvarious Moore, DB - Southern Miss
6(13) Martez Carter, RB - Grambling State
7(33) Jermaine Carter, LB - Maryland

 

The Tennessee Titans select: Tremon Smith, CB, Central Arkansas

 

I really like his potential. He was my backup for this last pick for the Eagles. Now I have to hope the Bengals don't snipe me or this will hurt.

 

@matthewwillson29

 

Me as well. He has good size, athleticism, and tape (albeit against weaker competition). His aggressive style reminds me a bit of Marcus Peters. I feel he’ll either be a steal or out of the league in two years, no in between.

 

I mentioned Braden Smith when ya took him...I think his tape is impressive. He's a mauler.

 

Ooops, sorry for missing my pick! I could of sworn my time was way later in the afternoon! (It probably got switched last night and I wasn't paying attention)

 

It definitely wasn't switched. Either way, enjoy the pick. He was the last guy I had a 5th round grade on.

 

I was on a lot of meds last night, so considering how I got the Falcons and Cardinals mixed up on a draft evaluation, I'm sure anything is possible. Haha. Good pick, though.

 

Steelers Draft Completed:
1(28) CB: Jaire Alexander - Louisville
2(28) S: Jessie Bates III - Wake Forest
3(28) WR: Equanimeous St. Brown - Notre Dame
5(36) RB: Josh Adams - Notre Dame
6(6) OLB: Ade Aruna - Tulane
6(12) ILB: Mike McCray - Michigan
6(42) DB: Siran Neal - Jacksonville State
7(28) QB: Logan Woodside - Toledo

Had to be auto'd a few times, which I do apologize for, but I was happy I could participate still! (College and work and being sick have had me scrambling)

Here's my thoughts:

Best pick: Ade Aruna- Developmental prospect, but could end up being a starter one day.

Worst pick: Jessie Bates- I feel like looking back I could of traded down some and still have gotten him. Oh well.

Any thoughts and critiques would be welcome!

 

Doubt it. He went earlier in both other mocks and S gets shallow fast on many people's boards.

St. Brown could be good value and I know it was an auto but Josh Adams works considering who was left at the position.

 

Saints complete:

1.27.27. Mike Gesicki, TE Penn State


3.27.91. Shaquem Griffin, LB UCF


4.27.127. Trenton Thompson, DT Georgia


5.10.147. Dalton Schultz, TE Stanford


5.27.164. Deontay Burnett, WR USC


6.15.189 Jordan Whitehead, S Pittsburgh


6.27.201. Darius Phillips, CB Western Michigan


7.27.245. J.T. Barrett, QB Ohio State


I was actually considering Barrett as my first UDFA, but they rescheduled a softball game tonight and I won't be available. Besides, I don't think he goes undrafted IRL. I do believe he has enough of a skillset that a team will see what they have in him for a year..The 7th round is about as hardcore "Chance" as you can get. I expect him to be drafted late 6th-7th round.

 

Nice late grab for the Titans.

 

It didn't hit me before that Gesicki and Schultz went to the same team. Having both of them added to the Saints offense is pretty scary.

 

He didn't. It was Nick Nelson, CB - Wisconsin. @IrishDawg42

 

I got that from an auto pick...Was it changed? I started to question why a TE was autoed after taking Gesicki, but then decided, who am I to judge after missing a pick?

 

It wasn't changed. You probably just misread it on the list since it was 1 away.

 

Damn, I thought I took it from the actual post..My bad. That was also post friends birthday celebration...I wasn't doing too hot until around yesterday afternoon.

 

Looks like I'll have to auto the Bengals, but I guess who I'd give them might be their top choice anyways.
