The Real Deal: Suspense Builds With my Big Board release and Mock Draft 1.0!!

nfldraftlogo.0.jpg

Hello Titans fans, welcome back to The Real Deal. Before we begin I have this PSA to give. This blog like all of my posts is based on my own personal and professional opinion as I have been a Titans fan for well over 20 years now. I will after every game do a quick analysis on Facebook Live, previewing the blog. Also check out my new live video podcast TITANS N TRUTH on YouTube.

It’s the offseason Titan Nation and that mean mock drafts, the combine has come and gone, and free agency has really slowed down. I have a new episode of TITANS N TRUTH (check it out on the Tube) and now that we are a month away from the NFL draft I want to release my first Top 15 Draft Big Board. This board is based on what I would do if I was JR making the picks not what the Titans would do. So here it is.

My Top 15 (players in bold I really want)

Jamal Adams-must draft (can’t miss new Eric Berry)

Johnathan Allen (if Adams not there at #5 gotta draft, along with Jurrell Casey would make a scary defensive line)

Mike Williams (my #1 WR catches everything)

Reuben Foster (true MLB that can hit and cover)

Solomon Thomas (high motor, intelligent) got to do more research on him

Marshon Lattimore (good cover CB, injuries scare me)

Corey Davis (really like his skills, great route runner, good blocker, would love if there at #18)

Marlon Humphrey (good cover CB with great speed still a bit raw)

O.J. Howard (top flight TE and would be dangerous with Delanie Walker)

Malik Hooker (not high on him but good center field player, only 1 year as a starter)

Tre’Davious White (can be a great cover CB but has to develop more to play outside but could play slot to start)

Haason Reddick (very impressive with great Senior Bowl and Combine, tough on the edge and could play inside)

John Ross (ELITE speed, good route runner, but injuries terrify me)

Sidney Jones (my #1 rated CB before injury would love to still in late 2nd (if we get a pick) or in the 3rd)

Zach Cunningham (great tackler in run support, can work on better fluid moves in coverage, has to bulk up, nice 2nd round pick)

Now I reveal my first true mock draft with some trades that I could truly see happening. Let me know what you think

My Mock draft 1.0-from FirstPick.com

Trades I made (realistic trades):

  • Trade 5th pick to CIN for 9th pick, 41st pick (2nd), and 73rd pick (3rd)-good trade
  • Trade 9th pick (CIN) to CLE for 12th pick and 52nd pick (2nd our original pick) (trade down #2)
  • Trade 83rd pick (3rd) to DET for 85th pick (3rd) and 128th pick (4th)

  • Round 1 Pick 12 (CLE): Jamal Adams, SS, LSU (A+)-still on the board had to have
  • Round 1 Pick 18: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson (A-)-want him in two tone blue, catches everything
  • Round 2 Pick 9 (CINN): Kevin King, CB, Washington (B-)-tall rangy corner who needs some development but can be really good
  • Round 2 Pick 20 (CLE): Takkarist McKinley, OLB/DE, UCLA (A)-shocked he was still on board could be good depth and replace Orakpo when he retire
  • Round 3 Pick 9 (CINN): JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (C)-got greedy added another weapon, lethal offense
  • Round 3 Pick 21 (DET): Anthony Walker Jr., ILB, Northwestern (B)-could be future replacing Woodyard
  • Round 3 Pick 36 (COMP): Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson (A-)-Excellent TE and blocker for Marcus
  • Round 4 Pick 18: Jessamen Dunker, OG, Tennessee State (A-)-go local, had good combine and bring competition
  • Round 4 Pick 21 (DET): Charles Walker, DT, Oklahoma (C-)-depth to D Line
  • Round 5 Pick 20: Keionta Davis, DE, Chattanooga (B-)-never have enough pass rushers
  • Round 6 Pick 30: Ezra Robinson, CB, Tennessee State (D+)-depth and could help on special teams (might be on practice squad)
  • Round 7 Pick 18: Jake Elliott, K, Memphis (C+)-replacement for Succop and he got a leg on him

P.S. new chant we need to make our own created by a wonderful lady and BIG TIME I MEAN BIG TIME TITAN FAN Ms. Lorrita Turnley (I ADDED A LITTLE BIT ON THE END):
