WalterFootball mocks 2016

Because it's never too early...

Oct. 10

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State

The Alex Smith experiment has to end now. Smith's struggles haven't all been his fault, but it's clear by now that he's not the answer. He is a weak-armed quarterback who never takes chances downfield. Kansas City needs to move on from him.

I keep bouncing back and forth between Connor Cook and and Jared Goff as the No. 1 quarterback. Goff just had a poor showing, so I'll move Cook into the top spot, though it's 50-50 right now. Cook has some accuracy and consistency issues that NFL teams are legitimately worried about.

Like the Jaguars, Kansas City could be moving on from its 2013 first-round choice. Eric Fisher not only has been terrible; he's been a wuss as well, failing to play through simple injuries.

66. Kansas City Chiefs: Landon Turner, G, North Carolina

Back-to-back offensive linemen for a head coach who loves bolstering the trenches? Makes sense to me. The Chiefs, as mentioned earlier, need major upgrades up front.

Other QBs in first 2 rounds:

Quote:

4. Chicago Bears: Jared Goff, QB, California

It's either a quarterback or a blue-chip defender like Jalen Ramsey for the Bears. The conservative John Fox may push for Ramsey or another defensive player, but I think Chicago ultimately has to take a potential franchise signal-caller. Jay Cutler's days in Chicago are numbered, so the Bears need to start over and rebuild. They can do that by drafting Jared Goff.

With Cardale Jones struggling at times, and Christian Hackenberg falling off, Jared Goff has become the top signal-caller in this class along with Connor Cook, despite the weird offense he plays in. Goff has actually been pretty decent thus far prior to this past Saturday. There are concerns with him, but Charlie Campbell noted that NFL personnel weren't too concerned with his recent showing.

11. Cleveland Browns: Cardale Jones, QB, Ohio State

You know those Geico "It's What You Do" commercials? Well, they could easily do one for desperate NFL teams because they reach for quarterbacks. It's what they do. And it's hard to blame them, either, given the state the league is in. If you don't have a quarterback, you're screwed.

The Browns most certainly don't have one, and no, Johnny Manziel is not the answer. Cardale Jones could be, and I'm sure the Browns would be interested in having a local kid be their savior, though I'm not sure that's the best idea. Jones has been through an up-and-down season thus far, and I didn't even include him in my mock updates the past couple of weeks because I thought he'd go back to school. However, he has put together some solid performances recently, so I think he's back in top-15 discussion based on his potential.

Quote:

36. Houston Texans: Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State

Three games shouldn't drop a prospect a whole round, but my premise behind slotting Christian Hackenberg in the top five was that he would go that high if he put together a strong 2015 campaign. It doesn't look like that's going to happen now, so it's realistic could drop to the second day. If so, I'm sure the Texans would take a chance on him, given that Bill O'Brien got the most out of him when he was at Penn State

I want Will Fuller in the 2nd. Perfect #2 WR in this offense.

Will Fuller actually produced in college.

Unless his production translates to a combine showstopper then I don't think he's what we are looking for.

Walter must not know our qb history. As much as I'd love it, I doubt we actually pull the trigger on one.

I would take Lynch over Cook and Goff.

Sounds like Lynch tore it up today, good... The more options we have at QB the more likely we are to draft one. He's been the number 2 QB on Kipers big board for a few weeks now. I wonder if he'll move him up over Goff, after Goffs last performance, and Lynchs performance today.

Updated:

1. Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State
2. Germain Ifedi, OT/G, Texas A&M
3. Landon Turner, G, North Carolina

I'd be fine with drafting nothing but fatties from the 2nd round on as long as we get the QB in round 1.

Hell, draft'em all in 2017 for all I care!

Just get us a QB.

And watch us draft a RB with our first pick, T in the second, DL in the third, G in the forth, and some scrub QB from some directional school in round five. All while Goff or Cook are still on the board.

You know this is how it's going to play out.
