The Godfather of Sports Mock Draft 1.0

This is going to be more straight forward than most of my posts where I ramble how the need for a good backup offensive guard is underrated etc...

1. Titans (3-13) Laremy Tunsil, offensive tackle, Ole Miss
Tunsil is safe and they can't afford to have Mariota get hurt.

2. Browns (3-13) Carson Wentz, quarterback, North Dakota State
Sorry Wentz. Enjoy being a free agent in two years!

3. Chargers (4-12) DeForest Buckner, defensive end, Oregon
Buckner can immediately make an impact on this defensive.

4. Cowboys (4-12) Jalen Ramsey, safety, Florida State University
He fits well in this organization, very Roy Williams esque.

5. Jaguars (5-11) Joey Bosa, defensive end, Ohio State University
If he falls this far he is a steal and is NFL ready.

6. Ravens (5-11) Ronnie Stanley, offensive tackle, Notre Dame
They lost Kelechi Osemele in FA and need to keep Flacco upright.

7. 49ers (5-11) Jared Goff, quarterback, California
Chip Kelly is going to gut and rebuild the entire franchise.

8. Eagles (7-9) Myles Jack, outside linebacker, UCLA
This is a value pick if Jack is here. They may go corner as well.

9. Buccaneers (6-10) Vernon Hardgreaves, cornerback, Florida
That secondary was god awful last year and very DB counts.

10. Giants (6-10) Ezekiel Elliot, running back, Ohio State
Might as well take the only franchise worthy back in the draft.

11. Bears (6-10) A'Shawn Robinson, defensive tackle, Alabama
He can help the Bears' pass rush as well as clog up gaps.

12. Saints (7-9) Laquon Tredwell, wide receiver, Ole Miss
Drew Brees and Tredwell could make for a great QB/WR duo.

13. Dolphins (6-10) Jack Conklin, offensive tackle, MSU
They need a corner bad but Conklin is too good to pass up.

14. Raiders (7-9) Jeremy Cash, safety, Duke
Surprised? Reach? Maybe, but Cash is a ball hawk.

15. Rams (7-9) Shaq Lawson, defensive end, Clemson
This Rams are kind of a mystery, maybe QB next time around?

16. Lions (7-9) Reggie Ragland, linebacker, Alabama
He will bring vitality to a somewhat lack luster Detroit defense.

17. Falcons (8-8) Eli Apple, cornerback, Ohio State
Apple can play a nickel/slot DB right away.

18. Colts (8-8) Leonard Floyd, linebacker, Georgia
A possible defensive rookie of the year.

19. Bills (8-8) Kevin Dodd, defensive end, Clemson
He can stand up at linebacker or rush from a three point.

20. Jets (10-6) Connor Cook, quarterback, Michigan State 
Even if they get a deal done with Fitzpatrick.

21. Redskins (9-7) Ryan Kelly, center, Alabama
He can play guard or center and can help that Skins' interior.

22. Texans (9-7) Hunter Henry, tight end, Alabama
The best tight end in the draft. He can block and catch well.

23. Vikings (11-5) Josh Doctson, wide receiver, TCU
Minnesota needs to replace Percy Harvin and Mike Wallace ASAP.

24. Bengals (12-4) Vonn Bell, safety, Ohio State University
Bell will replace what the Bengals lose without Reggie Nelson.

25. Steelers (10-6) Mackensie Alexander, cornerback, Clemson
Any help Pittsburgh can get in the secondary is welcome.

26. Seahawks (10-6) Cody Whitehair, guard, Kansas State
A younger (and maybe better) replacement for J.R. Sweezy.

27. Packers (10-6) Jaylon Smith, linebacker, Notre Dame
He will be starting at outside linebacker week one. Money down.

28. Chiefs (11-5) Kentrell Brothers, linebacker, Missour
Noah Spence makes sense here but has character issues.

29. Cardinals (13-3)Noah Spence, defensive end, Eastern Kentucky So, Arizona will roll the dice instead!

30. Panthers (15-1) Derrick Henry, running back, Alabama
At years end he will have more carries than Tolbert and Stewart.

31. Broncos (12-4) Paxton Lynch, quarterback, Memphis
Mark Sanchez isn't the future. Lynch is a John Elway kind of guy.

Even Tom Brady Would Give This Post a Hand *rim shot* Heyyooo

After the regular season ended there was a  head coaching apocalypse, Lions , Titans ,  Bears ,  Giants ,  Cardinals ,  Colts ,  Raiders . (And somehow NOT the Browns or Bengals ) Since then Chicago hired Matt Nagy, an Andy Reid follower, and Oakland hired Jon Gruden. In 2008 this would have been a splash hire but... he has been out of head coaching game for awhile. And, just yesterday the Titans hired the, now former, Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel. Here is the quick DL on Vrabel. He was drafted by the Steelers , played for the Patriots for a long time and tallied up THREE Super Bowl wins, and then ended his career with KC . After his playing days he jumped right into coaching and now he is one of those rare player-coach... coaches. I hope the best for him. NOW, who is left? Well, it's not a head coaching position but, the Browns are looking a new OC and former GMen head coach, Ben McAdoo, is the leading candidate. That is a ROUGH drop on th...

NFL Playoffs Divisional Style! (BAL v. PIT)

AFC Divisional Round: Baltimore Ravens (12-4) v. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) Saturday 4:30pm, CBS A REAL wild card weekend last week! But, this round should be just as good! The Ravens and Steelers meet up for the THIRD time this NFL season, in which they split the series against each other (BAL W 17-14, PIT W 13-10.) Not at all close right? These two teams mirror each other with top 5 defenses, a solid playoff QB and a great ground game. So, your question is: "What will make the difference this year around?" Layover. Baltimore is coming off a major beat-down on KC while Pittsburgh sat on a BYE week playing only with themselves (tee-hee.)  Key Matchup (BAL TE) Todd Heap v. (PIT S) Troy Polamalu Every season these two well traveled veterans battle through all 16 games getting nicked and bruised but always make a big play when it matters. Todd Heap is 30 and was 'on his way out' a few seasons ago but has made quite a comeback in 2010. Heap snagged 599yds and 5...

Campus Zeros [Week 9]

Sorry to deprive you of Campus Zeros last week due to a combo of work, Halloween fever, and a laptop from 2005, FUMBLE! But, not this week! No players singled out this week! It was good old fashioned team effort that got them to the dignified Campus Zeros list this week. Who made the cut?  Campus Zeros 5. Miami Hurricanes Four-Passers Combo: QB Jacory Harris out, I mean way out, so out he actually maybe a permanent part of the turf at Scott Stadium. He left he game after tossing a pick. Who is next? Spencer Whipple, 22yds, and 2INT later... next! Freshman Stephen Morris, 2-touchdowns... but 2 picks as well. Even RB Graig Cooper got a chance to toss the rock, luckily no INT. All in all, 18/42 (42.9%), 269yds, 2TD, 5INT AGAINST THE VIRGINIA CAVALIERS! The Canes now unranked, 5-3, 3-2 in the ACC and Randy Shannon isn't looking like the redemption coach anymore.  4. Michigan State Rushing 'attack' : Spartans were trying to run the table to get into the BCS title game... ...
