Around the NFL Week 17

[Dirtbag59]

My first mock.

1. Indy - Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford
2. St. Louis - Matt Kalil - OT - USC
3. Washington (From Minnesota) - Robert Griffin III - QB - Baylor (1st, 2nd, and possibly 3rd round pick)
4. Cleveland - Trent Richardson - RB - Alabama
5. Tampa Bay - Morris Claiborne - CB- LSU
6. Minnesota (From Washington) - Jonathan Martin - OT - Stanford

1. Indy - Andrew Luck
2. St. Louis - Justin Blackmon
3. Minnesota - Matt Kalil
4. Cleveland - Robert Griffin III
5. Tampa Bay - Morris Claiborne
6. Washington - Landry Jones*

Not because I want him, just because I think Luck and RG3 will be gone and we won't bet the farm to trade up.

Don't get excited just yet, if Adam Shefter speculates that it would take at least 3 #1's and 2 #2's for the overall #1 pick, what does it say about the 2nd or 3rd overall pick? A lot more than you think.

Luck is in a different league from RGIII as a prospect. While teams will certainly be enamored with RGIII he's not the type of guy that teams will be willing to trade the farm for. He's in that Cam Newton/Sam Bradford territory where people aren't sure he should be picked so high but they understand. Panthers and Rams failed to receive any serious calls for their respective number 1 picks on draft day.

I mock:

10. Washington (trade down with Buffalo, picking up a second or third): Ryan Tannehill, QB

If we have any faith whatsoever that Tannehill or Foles can be our starting quarterback next season, they would be a better target for our draft day plan than Griffin. You can simply do more with less if your evaluation tells you that Foles or Tannehill are worth drafting in the first round.

Though if in the estimation of a talent evaluator, this is a Luck, Griffin and nothing else draft, then the smart money becomes going UP for Griffin (or depending on price, Luck) as opposed to waiting and hoping.

In short, when you pick 6th overall, what you think of Foles and Tannehill is big. If you like either a lot, I would PASS on Robert Griffin even if he fell to us. Come in with a plan, stay the course. If you don't like either, I would go get Griffin aggressively. Second or third overall if needed.

Completely agree.

In the end I care less about which QB we get and more about Shanahan x 2 aggressively getting their QB guy, whoever he is.
