Next uo
111. Detroit - @MGMT

 

[MGMT]

With the 111th pick in the 2019 RCF nfl draft,

The Detroit Lions select:

Delvon Randall, S, Temple

Per draft network:

• 
  PROS: Size and strength are pro-ready. Has shown the ability to man multiple roles in Temple secondary. Widely regarded within the program as a top-notch communicator and leader. Played through a myriad of injuries last season, which did seem to impact him on the field.
  
  Mostly a sure tackler, shows good form to wrap and drive through contact. Sifts through trash well around the box in run defense. When he brings it, no issue getting runners on the ground 1v1. Run support is inconsistent, but angles and body control are typically excellent when closing from distance.
  
  Ball skills are evident in coverage. Has made some fantastic interceptions and sees things well from the back end. Breaks on the ball cleanly and takes good angles. Closing burst to the ball is impressive. Terrific hands and consistently competes at catch point. Strong mental processor.
  
  CONS: Frustrating lack of consistency as a run defender. Often late to get into his run fills and seemed passive in his body language about getting involved in tackles when coming from deep. Would not describe him as a high motor player all of the time. Will miss some tackles in space due to an inability to change directions quickly with the ball carrier.
  
  Biggest concern is his athleticism. Needs to play faster on a consistent basis. Seems like his pace of play varied from drive-to-drive, game-to-game. Not sure he has the long speed or short-area quickness to excel in either man or single-high coverage. Very little man coverage experience in the three games I saw on tape.

Bills take Dennis Daley, tackle from South Carolina.

@Rookie and the Baltimore Ravens are on the clock.

 

[Rookie]

With the 113th pick in the RCF Mock 2019 Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select:
Nate Davis OL Charlotte


Overview per nfl.com
Davis carries good power and outstanding foot quickness on a stout frame and has proven to be consistent and effective in a variety of blocking schemes. His footwork and body control help him square his targets into his power zone, but a lack of arm length creates some inconsistencies in sustaining blocks. He has some flaws, but there doesn't appear to be glaring holes to overcome his areas of strength and become a starting guard early in his career.

With the 114th pick in the 2019 RCF NFL Mock Draft....

The Green Bay Packers select...

Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego State
6'5 - 252 lbs
32.75'' Arm - 9.75'' Hand

​

OVERVIEW
Route-Running - Shocking polish as a route runner despite limited usage and experience. Snaps his hips back to the ball out of breaks and shows terrific footwork to open quickly to the quarterback without delayed gear-downs. Route tree is decently limited due to the offense, but you still see flashes of more complex patterns like post-corners and vertical routes.

Ball Skills - Mixed bag in this area, making some terrific high-point snags but also dropping a few passes he should have had. Has the athleticism and natural hands to adjust and pluck outside his frame, including digging out low throws or skying for high ones. Basketball background shows up in some jump ball situations.

Speed - I think he's fast, although his speed has gotten very little publicity so far. Starts quick and can get on top of defenders in a hurry. Long speed to stretch the field as a vertical receiver, got behind man coverage several times on tape. Won't surprise me if he runs in the 4.6s.

Run Blocking - Highly competitive run blocker who has worked his tail off to get better at an area of weakness. Gets hands inside, sinks his hips and keeps a wide base to seal off defenders on inside runs. Good overall strength, but certain matchups against better competition could overwhelm him.

Contested Catch - Has a couple awesome contested grabs, showing leaping ability, length and box-out ability at the catch point. Elevation is easy and massive frame provides a natural shield for the ball. Hangs onto tough ones through contact. Not enough on tape example to bank on it being an elite trait, but everything we've seen suggested this could be a real area of strength for Warring.

YAC - Not given a lot of opportunities to make plays after the catch, and wasn't creative or elusive when he did have chances. Good strength to fight off tackler or at least finish forward. Long speed and vision to be a factor in the open field when he is given space.

Separation Quickness - Maintains quickness out of his breaks and doesn't have to gear down hard to make clean cuts. Calling him explosive might be a stretch, but he's quick with sudden hands to clear press coverage and get a step on defenders in a hurry. Love his physicality and awareness to fight through jams at the line of scrimmage and the top of the route to maximize throwing window.

Pass Protection - Barely utilized in this role in the games I studied, but has the patient hands, length and enough strength to be solid in this area.

Competitive Toughness - One of the first things you look for from a convert to a relatively new sport (Warring played just one year of football before college) who has spent limited time on the field is how physical they are. Warring isn't nasty in his play demeanor, but he competes at a high level, takes blocking seriously and won't be punked by aggressive defenders. Work ethic and character are heralded at SDSU.

Athleticism/Size - Long, lean, rocked-up frame with ideal length and size for the position. Will probably have one of the best bodies of any tight end in the league from day 1. Very good athlete who could bump himself into the top 100 with a big Combine.

BEST TRAIT – Athleticism/Size

WORST TRAIT – Route Running

RED FLAGS – Missed final 10 games of 2016 season with a foot injury.

One of the biggest "'arrow pointing up" prospects in the class, San Diego State's run-heavy offense utilized Kahale Warring sparingly, but when he did get opportunities, the former water polo and basketball standout was highly impressive.

Warring has the quickness and speed of a big wide receiver, but the length of a tight end and the biceps of a greek god. His routes and releases are already surprisingly polished, and while he can improve a bit as a blocker and continue to sharpen his ball skills, the work ethic and football character attributed to him at San Diego State bodes well for him reaching his high ceiling. Time this man gets the love he deserves as a top 100 prospect.

Sean Rawlings, C/OT, Ole Miss
Height: 6-5. Weight: 294.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2019): 5-7.
3/16/19: Rawlings opened the season well against Texas Tech, although he was banged up for a lot of the year. The senior started at center in 2018, and that is probably his best fit for the NFL.

Leaving town again. Please be patient these last few rounds.

Keys just took Nate Davis on the previous page, unfortunately the first page has not reflected it yet.

First page did reflect it. The GM just didn't do the bare minimum.

I'll have another update within the hour. I'm willing to do a daily update, but do not expect real time updates. Read the thread a bit before making a pick. Thanks everyone!

 

[Randolphkeys]

With the 116th pick of the 2019 draft, Miami has requested BPA from the league. In my opinion, that player is:

Drue Tranquill, LB, Notre Dame

Height 6'2 Weight 234
Arms 31 3/4 Hands 9 3/4

40 time: 4.57
Bench: 31 reps
Vertical: 37.5

Why Tranquill?

He is a former strong safety who can play all three linebacker positions. He offers depth and the ability to defend the pass against a variety of opponents. His main downside is a last name that sounds faintly like "Tannehill". The linebacker position is changing and the days of a gigantic run plugging thumper are gone. Tranquill can help on special teams and compete for a starting job. I'd anticipate he replace Koko Alonso in the nickel packages.

Here is what PFF had to say about the Dolphins linebackers:

• Miami linebackers missed a slew of tackles over the year. Kiko Alonso & Raekwon McMillan missed 11 and 13 tackles, respectively, and had sub-70.0 tackling grades on the year. Alonso mainly struggled in coverage though, allowing 70.7% of passes into his coverage to be caught for 638 receiving yards.

America's Team - The Cleveland Browns - pick next!

 

[Ohio]

With the 117th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select...

David Long Jr, LB, West Virginia

Player Bio

Mountaineer coaches wooed Long out of Ohio, where he was a honorable mention all-state pick his senior season (110 tackles, 16 for loss, three sacks). Long showed up strong in the Russell Athletic Bowl against Miami his redshirt freshman year, making 11 tackles. A preseason knee injury kept Long out of the first four games of the 2017 season, but he won the team's Defensive Player of the Year award and became an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick based on his play in starts at the Will linebacker spot the final nine weeks (76 tackles, team-high 16.5 for loss, four sacks, four pass breakups). Long was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a second-team AP All-American as a redshirt junior, starting all 12 games and leading the Mountaineers with 111 tackles, 19 for loss, and eight sacks. He also broke up four passes and forced one fumble during the year.

Overview

Ultra-productive but undersized, teams will have to decipher how much of his production is translatable and how much came from his brazen, downhill approach. Long plays with a "scared money don't make money" approach that hit jackpots but pulled him out of position more than NFL coaches will be comfortable, with, but teams would rather dial back aggression than try and coach it up. He plays with some twitch, but his lack of size and strength could push him into a role as a backup 4-3 WILL with eventual starter potential in the right scheme.

Strengths

•Small but compact with good musculation
•Instant recognition of play direction
•Downhill charge is decisive, fast and disruptive
•26 percent of his solo tackles were for losses over last two years
•Plays with plus burst to close
•Doesn't need to tap brakes to change direction downhill
•Unique talent to defeat wash down blocks with bend and agility
•Shows ability to squeeze through gaps once he's there
•Above average base strength
•Hunts with success as blitzer
•Yanks and sheds blocks with explosive upper body
•Tracks and swallows quarterbacks once he's in the pocket

Weaknesses

•Lacks size and length teams want at linebacker
•Play can be wild and lacking discipline
•Hair trigger downhill shots prevent proper reads/diagnosis
•Size can cover him up if he's not diligent with hands
•Takes suspect angles to the football
•Tape is full of missed tackles
•Frenetic pace derails patience/balance needed to tackle
•Can be exploited by play-action and RPOs
•Inconsistent drop depth opens easy windows over him
•Below-average awareness of route development

"Personally, I would rather have David Long over Devin Bush for a round or two discount. They have about the same size but Long is more productive and maybe less prone to injury." -- NFC executive

With the 118th pick in the 2019 RCF NFL Mock Draft....

The Green Bay Packers select...

L.J. Collier, EDGE, TCU
6'2 - 283 lbs
34'' Arm - 10'' Hand

​

OVERVIEW
Burst - Non-explosive edge rusher with very little burst and unimpressive stride length up the arc. Slow starter and false steps are frequent. Doesn't show great snap anticipation and won't beat anyone with speed to the corner.
Bend - Lacks the flexibility to turn the corner through contact. Has some flexibility in his ankles to tilt the edge, but needs a favorable path to the quarterback to make it work. With his size and lack of edge rushing traits, a transition to the inside as a nickel rusher seems likely.
Rush Moves - Loves the push-pull and the two-hand swipe. Not really powerful enough to create a ton of movement as a speed-to-power rusher on a regular basis, often losing his balance and ending up on the ground. Does have flashes of bull rush ability that would be enticing with better body control. Wish he deployed the long arm to keep himself cleaner, not the biggest or longest edge and will get body-to-body to often as a rusher.
Counters - I'll give the dude this, he plays frenetically and sometimes that works in his favor and he gets free. Movements aren't always super well-thought out, and can get dumped as a result. Physicality and energy are better than nothing though.
Run Defense - Asked to do a lot in TCU's defense, including shoot interior gaps, 2-gap and drop into coverage and play in space. As a point-of-attack run defender he does well enough, but does get overwhelmed by doubles at times. Not much range or penetration ability to speak of. Needs to consistently maintain good depth to the line of scrimmage.
Lateral Mobility - Limited overall athlete with average change-of-direction and mobility in space. Despite TCU asking him to play in space, can't see that role working for him in the NFL.
Mental Processing/Vision - When Collier saw a sloppy pass set, he smelled blood. Knew what to do in unblocked situations and performed a variety of assignments without many mental errors.
Tackling/Finishing - There are clear limitations in space and when asked to move laterally and make stops, but overall did not notice many issues as a tackler. Seemed to finish fine in a condensed space.
Competitive Toughness - Ultra-physical and competitive. Backs down from no one and plays hard every snap. In the games that I watched, did not seem like he was an every-down player and was frequently subbed out. Something to watch for when projecting more usage in the NFL.
Athleticism/Size - Stocky build with enough strength to hold his own at the next level, but lacks ideal length and the athletic tools to project to a high ceiling in the NFL.

Strong work in here today, boys. Picks flying off the board.

 

[Ohio]

With the 119th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select...

Mark Fields, CB, Clemson

​

Player Bio

Fields is the son of the former Washington State and NFL Pro Bowl linebacker of the same name. He came to Clemson as a top 100 overall recruit, and found his way onto the field in 13 games as a reserve (three tackles) as a true freshman. Fields started once in 15 games the following year, stopping 13 ball carriers, intercepting one pass, and breaking up four passes. He earned a starting role in 2017, but missed six games with a foot injury. In eight games (four starts) as a junior he made 20 stops, three for loss, and had two pass breakups. Fields only started once in 11 games played in 2018, making nine tackles and breaking up six passes on the year (two of which came in the national title game against Alabama).

Overview

Fields' draft stock has taken an upward turn after a strong second-half performance against Alabama and a solid week of work at the Senior Bowl. He's combination of strength, speed and explosiveness should serve him well as he transitions inside. His lack of experience shows up in his technique and pattern recognition, but with time, his athletic traits and natural man cover talent could give him a chance to be a starting nickel.

Strengths

•Productive and competitive throughout the postseason
•Twitchy and explosive
•Limited tape shows player with natural cover talent
•Athletic traits to become more adept as pattern matcher
•Furious foot quickness in tight quarters
•Multi-stepper for controlled closeouts in space
•Above average play strength for size
•Strikes with some aggression to disrupt catch
•Reaches top-end speed quickly and sustains it downfield
•Plays with grit in run support
•Successful leg attacks as solo tackler.

Weaknesses

•Only six career starts with limited playing time at Clemson
•Backpedal is a little stiff and labored
•Frenetic and lacking fluidity in his play
•Drifts from his technique at times
•Struggled finding football downfield against A&M
•Momentary stall when transitioning forward from pedal
•Needs better eye-balance from off-man
•Overly responsive to route fakes and loses position at times
