****OFFICIAL 2019 Saccopoo CP Mock Draft Thread****

[RealSNR]

START DATE AND TIME: March 18th, noon central

RULES:

Spoiler!

1. 12 hours for each pick. Unless it's on the weekends.....then your clock can go **** itself.

2. Make sure that you have PMs turned on. After you make your selection, PM the next person up to let them know that they're on the clock. If you know that you aren't going to be on and able to make your selection, PM a list of your desired picks (in the order you want them) to someone else. You can send those to me, The Franchise, or some other poster you trust. Make sure the person who selects before you knows who to alert when your team is on the clock. If you miss your pick, you will be skipped and you'll have to make your pick as soon as you can. If you miss two consecutive picks, you lose your teams.

3. Format your selections as such: *Insert team name* selects Player Name, POS, School. Make sure they are bolded so that people can see them. You can add pictures and explanations if you'd like but they aren't required.

4. Do a search of the thread before you pick to make sure that the player hasn't been selected. If you pick a player that has already been drafted, you face the wrath of the entire thread and you'll have to correct it. So don't make a pick and then leave for 14 hours. Stick around and make sure that you didn't **** up.

This might be my favorite post this forum has ever produced

[Chargem]

The Cowboys select Isaiah Buggs, DL, Alabama.

[Sfeihc]

The Los Angeles Chargers select Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington.

[staylor26]

There’s a WR and CB on the board either of which would again soften the blow of having to go C in round 1.

Interested to see what DJ does here.

[DJ's left nut]

Well I think there are 2 guys here the big boards say I 'should' take and then there are 2 guys here that I actually want to take. And ultimately the consensus is a little higher on the former 2 than I am so I'm gonna leave 'em sitting there for someone else.

Of the 2 guys I like, I think this one fits a more critical immediate need with a higher ceiling player and with a guy who has a bigger drop-off to the next available option.

The Chiefs select Germaine Pratt, LB - NC State

When you have a plan, you see it through or you end up with a hodge-podge of ill-fitting parts. My plan generates my pass rush through the down linemen and through creating discomfort as much as raw sacks. Additionally, my run defense is going to come from matchups and by trying to play positionally sound, team defense. My DEs are going to specialize on maintaining discipline and funneling runners to where we want them to go while the rest of the squad flows to the football and gang-tackles.

Pratt is very possibly the best coverage LBer in this draft. His background as a safety is evident when you watch him; very fluid for his size and more than capable of running with any TEs you throw at him. As a run defender he shows himself to be a plus tackler and a willing participant. His issue in run defense is that he's simply inexperienced and will allow himself to get fooled. He plays the run a bit like he's still in the secondary; he looks to react and being a LB he simply doesn't have that kind of time. With added experience, he'll be able take that functional strength, solid tackling and overall tenacity and make himself as plus run defender, IMO. The nice thing here is that we so often look at these hybrid safety/LB types and say "Hey, can he had 20 lbs of good weight, get stronger and still stay fast?" We don't usually know but with Pratt we do - he's done exactly that. He can play at his present weight and do any job we can reasonably ask for him. And he's still as athletic and mobile as he was when he was playing in the secondary.

As a blitzer I'm not sure what he'll amount to. I see the skills there to be a 5-6 sack a season kind of guy who can be used in blitz packages to get to the quarterback. But he's raw, for sure, and has a ways to go there.

But his coverage ability, overally athleticism and willingness in the run game makes him a very good Sam prospect here. And what's really nice about him is that I think you could even attempt to make a Mike out of him. Now I think that's probably a bit too big of an ask, but if that doesn't take you have a ready-made Sam. And even then, if he can't figure out run responsibilities as well as you'd like you have a better version of DoD who can be your Will easily.

And if he's never a true 3-down linebacker, he's most assuredly a potentially premier 3rd down linebacker. You put him out there in Nickel formations, even your 'heavy nickel' with your 3 safety looks, and you're in pretty great shape there.

I think he fits extremely well into what Spags hopes to do and what I've done in trying to create a particular type of defense. This thing won't look anything like what we've been accustomed to over the last 6-8 years, but then again, that's kinda the point...

It's not a draft that I'd have gone into the thing thinking "man, that kicks ass", but with the way the board went, I think it came together damn well.

I've looked at the first 3 rounds and with the benefit of hindsight asked myself what I would've done differently. Honestly, there's a chance I'd have done exactly what I did. I think I could talk myself into going

1- CGJ
2- McCoy/Joejuan
2- Jones/Omenihu/McCoy
3- Pratt

But mostly that's just different. I'm not convinced that it's better. So when with the benefit of hindsight I still can't pull together a draft that I'm positive I like more than the one I had, I think that's a pretty good sign.

I had a plan, I've stuck to it, and I think I've pulled some damn good players who all complement the overall vision of what this team is trying to do very nicely.

[staylor26]

The New York Jets select Lonnie Johnson Jr., CB, Kentucky
