Hello. Welcome to the insanity of another mock draft done by yours truly. Let's get started, shall we?
(I'm assuming that re-sign Ogletree and Donald to long-term extensions. Also assuming that we lose Tru, Gaines, Barwin, Easley, Joyner, Alexander, and Dunbar, amongst others.)
Here are the trades first:
Mark Barron, 2019 second, 2018 fifth and 2018 seventh to Cleveland for 2018 second (Philadelphia) and 2018 second (Houston).
Tavon Austin to the Kansas City Chiefs for 2018 third.
(Cleveland could use a weakside linebacker that fits Gregg Williams' scheme. Barron fits the bill. The Chiefs need veteran receivers for Mahomes to throw to, and Austin fits the bill there.)
1st - Derwin James, SS, Florida State.
2nd (Philadelphia) - Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan.
2nd (Houston) -.Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville.
2nd - Adonis Alexander, CB, Virginia Tech
3rd (Kansas City) - Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State.
3rd - Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame.
4th - Jack Cichy, ILB, Wisconsin.
6th (Detroit) - Jaylon Ferguson, OLB, Louisiana Tech.
6th - Viane Talamaivao, OG, USC.
(I'm assuming that John Johnson takes control of the starting free safety spot, which leaves Derwin James - my favorite prospect in this draft - open for the starting strong safety spot. In fact, the only reason he's here is because of a knee injury that cost him last season. Okorafor is young and raw, but intelligent and athletically-gifted. Put him next to Whitworth, and he'll do well until it's time for him to take the mantle of blindside protector. The Alexanders are two ballhawking corners - Zaire is 5'11", Adonis is 6'3". Ballage is a hell of a receiving back with the physical measurables of Leonard Fournette. St. Brown - aside from having my favorite name ever - is a 6'4" deep threat who could step up in Austin's place. Cichy is the team captain and a steady contributor. Ferguson is underrated by most, but he could make a jump up the rankings. Talamaivao is a rare four-year starter who can provide depth at guard.)
