Shake's Combine-Eve Mock
'Twas the night before combine-mas...
| Round 1 | |||||
| 1 | St Louis | Ndamukong Suh | DT | Nebraksa | The Rams lost 2 QBs to injury last season. You don't take a Franchise QB if you can't protect him. They have their LT of the future in place though, so they take the best player in the draft and wait for Jason Smith to develop. |
| 2 | Detroit | Gerald McCoy | DT | Oklahoma | If the Lions weren't interested in Oher in the second half of the 1st round last year, they are going to keep rolling with their current tackles. Likely to Matt Stafford's detriment. |
| 3 | Tampa Bay |
Eric Berry | S | Tennessee | The Bucs abandoned their switch away from the Tampa-2, making Berry's experience under Monte Kiffin a plus on an already great prospect. |
| 4 | Washington | Sam Bradford |
QB | Oklahoma | The new FO in Washington isn't likely to give Jason Campbell much of a leash, if they even bring him back. |
| 5 | Kansas City | Rolando McClain |
ILB | Alabama |
The Chiefs OL may have turned the corner late in the year allowing just 8 sacks in their last 6 games after giving up 37 in their first 10. This lets them address a hole on the D and worry about the OL later. |
| 6 | Seattle | Jimmy Clausen |
QB | Notre Dame | Matt Hasselbeck is nearing the end of the line and Senneca Wallace isn't stepping into his shoes. |
| 7 | Cleveland | Joe Haden | CB | Florida | Such horrid pass D is rare with a competent pass rush. The Browns need serious coverage help. |
| 8 | Oakland | Russel Okung |
OT | Ok State |
Even Al Davis couldn't get this one wrong... right? |
| 9 | Buffalo | Bruce Campbell |
OT | Maryland | With the top QBs gone the Bills will add another piece to their young line. Hopefully giving their QB of the future to be named later, a solid foundation. |
| 10 | Jacksonville | Derrick Morgan | DE | Georgia Tech | Pass rush lacking Jags try that whole top 10 DE thing over again. |
| 11 | Denver | Dan Williams |
NT | Tennessee | With the 3-4 in vogue teams are taking the key pieces earlier and earlier. |
| 12 | Miami | Brandon Graham |
OLB |
Michigan |
Waaaaay too early for Cody so the Phins take the much smaller reach for a LB. |
| 13 | San Fran | C.J. Spiller | RB/RET | Clemson | Niners get a massive boost in the return game (a major asset to a defense centered team that'll be playing the field position game) and add a compliment to Frank Gore as the league continues to move to favor 2 back systems. |
| 14 | Seattle | Anthony Davis |
OT | Rutgers | Seahawks rebuild the line after getting a Franchise QB. |
| 15 | NY Giants | Brian Price | DT | UCLA | Perfect fit to shoot gaps in a 4-3 |
| 16 | Tennessee | Kyle Wilson |
CB/RET | Boise St. |
Wilson got a major boost at the senior bowl and with his athleticism he's likely to get another. Wilson both solidifies the CB corps behind Finnegan and gives the Titans the returnman they desperately need. |
| 17 | San Fran | Bryan Bulaga |
OT | Iowa | Bulaga was finally back to his dominating form of 2008 in the Orange Bowl and will be well rewarded for it. He'll be more than competent at RT and able to slide to LT in a pinch. |
| 18 | Pittsburgh | Earl Thomas |
S |
Texas | A bit early for a guy that couldn't get under 370 for the start of pre-draft workouts, so the Steelers get a excellent complement to Polamalu |
| 19 | Atlanta | Everson Griffen |
DE | USC | Falcons pass D needs more pressure from the front 4 to improve. Griffen at DE should be a big help and won't be a hindrance against the run. |
| 20 | Houston | Taylor Mays | S | USC | Bernard Pollard gave the Texans some passable safety play, but there's a reason he was cut and the John Busing/Brian Russell combo at the other safety spot is horrendous. Mays' stock is at it's nadir as teams have had nothing to do but watch tape. His stock will shoot back up when he looks amazing in shorts and a T-shirt. |
| 21 | Cincinnati | Dez Bryant |
WR |
Ok St. | With good workouts he's unlikely to fall this far, but a player who missed much of this past season needs to show a lot in workouts to maintain their stock. |
| 22 | New England | Sergio Kindle | OLB | Texas | The Pats are desperately in need of a pass rush. |
| 23 | Green Bay | Trent Williams |
OT | Oklahoma | Until Charles Brown shows up over 300lbs he won't break into the top 25. Williams has LT athleticism but only RT pass blocking skills at the moment. |
| 24 | Philadelphia | Carlos Dunlap |
DE | Florida | Eagles love to bring the heat, a top rusher to put opposite Trent Cole would certainly do it. |
| 25 | Baltimore | Jermaine Gresham |
TE | Oklahoma | Todd Heap has morphed into an athletic tackle and "The Franchise Player" isn't an answer at all. |
| 26 | Arizona | Brandon Spikes |
ILB | Florida | Karlos Dansby seems likely walk away which would be a hole that needs to be filled. A high flying pass attack needs a strong pass D to prevent teams from keeping pace or closing deficits. |
| 27 | Dallas | Mike Iupati | G | Idaho | The 'Boys need OL help badly. Iupati might not be a pro LT, but the only other 1st round OT option remaining, Charles Brown, is far too light for Dallas' taste. |
| 28 | San Diego | Jonathan Dwyer | RB | Georgia Tech | LDT basically told the Chargers to shove it, so they'll need a bigger back to complement the dangerous, but severely undersized Sproles. |
| 29 | NY Jets | Jared Odrick |
DE | Penn State |
Odrick fills one of the Jets Ds few gaps |
| 30 | Minnesota | Brandon Ghee |
CB | Wake Forest |
Ghee is one of the favorites to end up on top of the CB pileup behind Haden. |
| 31 | Indianapolis | Charles Brown | OT | USC | The Colts have given up just 10 sacks, but that's a near miracle given the flaws Charlie Johnson and Ryan Diem have in pass protection. Brown will let them move CJ or Diem inside, making avoiding the rush easier on Peyton and improving the terrible run blocking. |
| 32 | New Orleans | Sean Weatherspoon | OLB | Missouri | Both Saints OLBs are over 30, Weatherspoon should add some more attacking speed to that D. |
| Round 2 | |||||
| 33 | St Louis | Jason Pierre-Paul | DE | So. Florida | The Rams DL will look like Spagnolo's Giants with Long, Suh, Carriker and Pierre-Paul |
| 34 | Detroit | Jon Asamoah |
OG | Illinois | The Lions add some OL to protect their big investment and keep their offense moving. |
| 35 | Tampa Bay | Damian Williams |
WR | USC | The Bucs need a WR upgrade if they want Josh Freeman to succeed. |
| 36 | Kansas City | Terrence Cody | NT | Alabama | Cody will make some 3-4 very happy on 1st and 2nd down each Sunday, and very frustrated the vast remainder of the week. |
| 37 | Washington | Vladimir Ducasse | OT | Massachusetts |
The new Redskins regime needs to protect their QB of the future |
| 38 | Cleveland | Ryan Matthews |
RB | Fresno St. |
A big back to fill the Lewis role in complement to Jerome Harrison |
| 39 | Oakland | Arthur Jones |
DT | Syracuse | A stout DT to a D that was sub par against the run overall, up the middle and in power situations. |
| 40 | Seattle | Greg Hardy |
DE | Mississippi | Seahawks snag a very talented DE who will be a massive boost to a sub-par pass rush if he's healthy and motivated. |
| 41 | Buffalo | Ricky Sapp |
OLB | Clemson | Buffalo will need to pour picks into the D to make the 3-4 conversion work anytime soon. |
| 42 | Tampa Bay | Navarro Bowman | OLB | Penn State |
Even if Ruud stays the Bucs could use some more LB talent. |
| 43 | Miami | Morgan Burnett |
S | Georgia Tech |
The Dolphins were consistently beaten deep on defense, tying for the league lead in passes of 40+ allowed, and slotting in at 3rd for passes of 20+ given up. |
| 44 | New England | Javhid Best |
RB | Cal |
The Pats upgrade from the RB hodgepodge of recent history. |
| 45 | Denver | Maurkice Pouncey | C/G | Florida | Denver's running game was generally strong, but repeatedly failed in short yardage. Shoring up the middle should fix that. |
| 46 | NY Giants | Chad Jones |
S | LSU | The Giants don't have much back there at safety. |
| 47 | New England | Tyson Alualu | DT | Cal | The Pats add another piece to the ailing front 7 |
| 48 | Carolina | Golden Tate |
WR | Notre Dame | The Panthers passing O needs a target across from Steve Smith |
| 49 | San Francisco | Devin McCourty |
CB | Rutgers |
The Niners had one of the best pass rushes in the league, but the overall pass D, while good, didn't live up to the rush. |
| 50 | Kansas City | Mike Johnson |
G | Alabama | Chiefs shore up the OL. |
| 51 | Houston | Brandon LaFell |
WR | LSU |
A great compliment to Andre Johnson, so the Texans can keep lighting it up on O. |
| 52 | Pittsburgh | Jake Fox |
OT | Miami | While much of the Steelers sacks come from Big Ben's style, there's more they could do to protect him. |
| 53 | New England | Eric Norwood |
LB | South Carolina |
Versatile pass rushing LB to add to the Pats aging front 7 |
| 54 | Cincinnati | Rob Gronkowski |
TE | Arizona | With a top TE and WR added to the O the Bengals should get their passing game back off the ground. |
| 55 | Philadelphia | Donovan Warren |
CB | Michigan | An explosive O without a strong pass D plays shootouts every week. |
| 56 | Green Bay | Jerry Hughes |
OLB | NC St. |
With OT addressed the Packers can work on replacing Aaron Kampman. The TCU edge rushers stock seems to be slipping, but he's a great fit in a 3-4. |
| 57 | Baltimore | Patrick Robinson |
CB | Florida St. |
The CB spots are the weakest point of a very good Ravens D. |
| 58 | NY Jets | Dominque Franks |
CB | Oklahoma |
Revis is great, but the CBs opposite him can be exploited by the Pierre Garçons and Austin Collies of the world. |
| 59 | Arizona | Jason Worlids |
DE/OLB | Virginia Tech |
An explosive offense needs to be complimented with a pass rush on D to prevent weekly shootouts. |
| 60 | Dallas | Arrelious Benn |
WR | Illinois |
Roy Williams still isn't working out. If he doesn't turn it around Benn can be the big target out wide. |
| 61 | Minnesota | Willie Young |
DE | NC St. |
Vikings add an edge rusher to insure the heat stays on, even in Ray Edwards departs. |
| 62 | San Diego | Corey Wootten |
DE | Norwestern | The Chargers reinforce a DL that struggled against the run without Jamal Williams |
| 63 | Indianapolis | Daryl Washington | MLB | TCU | Gary Brackett looks likely to be re-signed, but a replacement will be needed down the line and Washington would be able to play well at OLB for as long Brackett held up. |
| 64 | New Orleans | D'Anthony Smith |
DT | Lousiana Tech | Run D was the teams weakest phase. |
| Round 3 | |||||
| 65 | St. Louis | T.J. Ward | S | Oregon | With the DL beasting, some DB help to collect up all the hurried passes. |
| 66 | Detroit | Perrish Cox |
CB | Ok. St. |
DB help for a team that tied with Miami for the most passes over 40 yards allowed. |
| 67 | Tampa Bay | George Selvie |
DE | So. Florida |
The Bucs are also in need of another pass rusher, and pickup a rush DE. |
| 68 | Kansas City | Demaryious Thomas |
WR | Georgia Tech |
The broken foot will prevent him from rising up the board, but really how long can GMs resist a size-speed combo like Bey-Bey? |
| 69 | Washington | Forfeit | X | X | Pick used in '09 Supplement Draft |
| 70 | Oakland | John Jerry |
OG | Mississippi |
With a rebuilt OL the Raiders could actually use those big armed QBs and burner WRs. |
| 71 | Philadelphia | Nate Allen |
S | Buffalo |
With a new edge rusher, CB and S the Eagles pass D should take a massive leap forward |
| 72 | Cleveland | Reshad Jones |
S | Georgia |
The Browns pass rush was far better than the coverage, two new DBs should help that. |
| 73 | Buffalo | Cam Thomas |
NT | UNC |
A NT to drop down in the middle of the Bills new 3-4 |
| 74 | Miami | Torrell Troup | NT | Cent. Florida |
An upgrade at each level of the D should give the Dolphins an even better compliment to their pounding ground O. |
| 75 | Jacksonville | Tim Tebow | QB | Florida | By the 3rd round, football and finance interests are close enough to justify the pick. |
| 76 | Chicago | Kyle Calloway |
OT | Iowa |
The downgrade in WRs and OL really derailed Cutler, with no picks in the first 2 rounds the Bears can only address one of those problems at a time. |
| 77 | NY Giants | Matt Tennant | C | Boston College |
A team with the Giants stable of RBs, a credible passing threat and a generally good OL shouldn't rank in the 20s in power running and running between the tackles. |
| 78 | Tennessee | Jermaine Cunningham |
DE | Florida | The Titans pass rush was majorly lacking last year. |
| 79 | Carolina | Lamarr Houston |
DT | Texas | An athletic DT for the Panthers Ron Meeks Tampa-2 |
| 80 | San Francisco | J.D. Walton |
C/G | Baylor | Two fresh talents on the OL should boost the Niners struggling O. |
| 81 | Denver | Jerome Murphy |

So. Florida |
The Champ is on his last legs |
| 82 | Texans | Toby Gerhart |
RB | Stanford | Texans pick up a bigger back to compliment the shifty Slaton |
| 83 | Pittsburgh |
Amari Spievey |
CB | Iowa |
With the OL and S spots addressed and no NTs of value available the Steelers go to the next weakest spot on D. |
| 84 | Atlanta | Sy'Quan Thompson | CB | Alabama | They lost a very good CB last year and suffered for it. |
| 85 | Cincinnati | Darrell Stuckey | S | Kansas | Roy Williams is still in the league? Really? |
| 86 | Oakland | Sean Lee |
MLB | Penn State |
Lee gives the Raiders a great 3 LB lineup. |
| 87 | Green Bay | Akwasi Owusu-Ansah | CB | Indiana (PA) | Big CB for the Pack's physical style |
| 88 | Philadelphia | A.J. Edds | OLB | Iowa |
Edds was a poor mans' Chad Greenway in college, that's enough for a top 90 pick. |
| 89 | Cleveland | Brandon Lang |
DE | Troy | The Browns pass rush wasn't bad, but upgrades are certainly possible |
| 90 | Baltimore | Mardy Gilyard |
WR | Cincinnati | Derrick Mason can't go on forever, and they don't really have a great #2 WR option either. |
| 91 | Arizona | Kareem Jackson |
CB | Alabama |
talented DBs are great to have when your O is forcing opponents to go pass heavy |
| 92 | Dallas | Jared Veldheer | OT | Hillsdale | With a stud G and a RT prospect Romo might not be running for his life all season. |

cant see them going Jon Asamoah over Mike Johnson.. not a fan of cox in 3rd but he might be best left
well i like Sy'Quan Thompson more then cox... but i might be in the minority in that one..
if Thompson was a little taller think he would be pushing 1st
The Champ is on his last legs
If not allowing a single TD all season is “on his last legs” then I’ll take him into his 50’s.
Like the Broncos picks, but I wonder if they could put Bulaga at guard. That’s who I have them taking in my latest mock. I like Pouncey in round two but I have a hard time seeing him fall. Corner in round three is a nice route, though I don’t know much about the USF kid.
by Sayre Bedinger on Feb 23, 2010 11:06 PM EST reply actions
the Broncos not being great against #1 WRs fooled me
though they locked down #2s pretty well. They just leave Champ on a side instead of matching him up on the #1?

Vikings draft
I hope the Vikings would take Sean Weatherspoon, Charles Brown, or Ryan Mathews at #30, and then Brandon Ghee or another cornerback in the second round. It doesn’t make sense to take one of the second-tier cornerbacks in the 1st round, when one can be had in the second round. There isn’t much of a difference in my mind between Brandon Ghee and Jerome Murphy. Why not use the first round pick to get the best player available?
I don’t know much about Willie Young, but Ray Edwards will likely stay in a Vikings uniform.
As for Colt McCoy, put me down as cautiously optimistic about his future in the NFL. He has potential. That could be a good draft pick.
Ghee and Wilson
are high end second round late first round prospects. Ghee in particular has great size and speed to go with fairly good measurables.

by Flowing Willow on Feb 24, 2010 7:15 AM EST up reply actions
I would perfer Wilson
From the little that I have read about the both of them…But the Vikings need to be sure to grab a corner with one of their first two picks.
Ryan Mathews
I mentioned Ryan Mathews, but now I hear people questioning his vision. The Vikings run a zone-blocking scheme and probably want a running back with good vision. Thus, maybe Mathews wouldn’t be good for the Vikings in the first round.

Vikings would be crazy to draft a RB in the first.

by shake n bake on Feb 23, 2010 11:25 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, my thought...
…is that the Patriots are pretty much guaranteed to snag a DE and an OLB in this draft- it comes down to the quality of players. What drafting would give us the best pairing? I think that this draft is much deeper with OLBs, so I’d go for the best DE available in the 1st round. My belief is that the OLBs are in two tiers- Kindle, Graham and then everyone else. I think the drop off between top DEs and the rest is much greater.
That’s why I’ll go DE then OLB.
by Richard Hill on Feb 23, 2010 11:32 PM EST up reply actions
If it were up to me the Pats would just draft Juice Williams 8 times
but I think the ideal realistic pairing would be Graham and Wootton

…on selected two OLBs. I would be extremely happy to see that happen. The reason our Super Bowl teams were so successful was the high quality in our LB core- something we’ve missed the past couple of seasons.

Not sure about the TE pick
I seem to remember the Pats not using a TE nearly as much as the avg NFL team. The other picks are solid though.
Well our TEs were used less in the passing game...
…and more in the blocking game because our top 3 tackles and our #2 guard all were injured at some point over the season (often at the same time) so we had to drop our TEs into a blocking role. Next season, when everyone starts healthy, I’d expect the TEs to play a larger part in the passing game.

Bro unless the Rams let OJ
leave they won’t go with a safety in this draft. In the 3rd maybe Jerome Murphy to help Ron Bartell or Demaryius Thomas to help whoever is the QB next year
solid draft
It’s nice to see some new names moving up the list – Young DE and Ward S stand out. I think Pittsburgh fans prefer the big farm boys that wrestle steers for their line, not the beach crowd from Miami. But I think you did a good job fitting guys to teams. The one team’s draft I would question is Tampa Bay. The first two picks are great, but I think the linebackers are the best position on their team and White put up 8 sacks at RDE playing barely more than half of his team’s defensive snaps. After missing out on Suh and McCoy, I think they would be more likely to pick DT later, or a CB.
Eventhough you have the Chiefs taking Rolando McClain (Which could happen, I just wouldnt be happy)
This is probably the best draft ive ever seen for the Chiefs. Cody in the 2nd solves the NT issue. Mike Johnson is a perfect fit for our scheme. DeMaryius Thomas would be perfect, just icing on the cake for real. Good job shake. This is awesome.
It's not bad at all for the Chiefs
It’s good, but I would have preferred a McClain/Pouncey/Cam Thomas/Nate Allen combo myself. This is a solid draft for the Chiefs.
Merlinnj
how long do you think spagnulo has in st. louis if he can’t find a franchise quarterback for next year?
Still going with Tennant huh in the 3rd? He’s a good pick, probably a BPA.
You really feel there’s no RT there that’s worth it?
Veldheer and Stafford are there, do you have Tennant that far over them?

So the Rams QBs were injured last year, eh? What about 2008? 2007?
I don’t really care if the Rams draft Suh or not. The Lions will get a great player in McCoy, Berry, or whoever. However the thinking that St. Louis can wait another year to get a QB will have the result of keeping them in a top five drafting position again in 2011 and most likely 2012. Hopefully, there will be a QB that they think is worth that pick. If not, I guess you could wait another year ……and another……
Your bitterness is unconcealable
This is a great draft for us if only for the frustration it causes the lions fans. whos’ complaints, to which, i’ve grown fond of listening.
It is sad to see that Lions fans have more confidence in the intelligence of the Rams FO than Rams fans do.
You have a tougher choice than Detroit did last year as Suh or McCoy are twice the prospect Aaron Curry was, and Stafford is a better prospect than Clausen or Bradford.
Good luck to you however you pick.
honestly i have to disagree that Staford was a better prospect..
Clausen had 28 tds 4int 68% comp in a a pro style offence under one of if not the grates QB coach in our time..
Stafford had 25tds 10int 61% comp
going off of what we knew about Stafford this time last year and what we know about Clausen now.. i would have to give it to Clausen… not saying he will be better but stats say alot when your talking QB prospects.. Clausen is also the most pro ready QB to ever come out.. and has the best stats of any junior QB…. i think he as much as a cant miss as suh and berry are people just cant see it b/c there head is to far up suh..
If it makes you feel any better I’d draft Bradford first overall with the Rams.
There's a new blog in town, the 12th HorseMan.
While much of the Steelers sacks come from Big Ben’s style, there’s more they could do to protect him.
Like letting the players grow more into their position instead of putting a rookie in and starting all over? The only postion that needs an upgrade is RG and we may have it on the roster. We’d take C Thomas. Aside from that pick I am rather pleased with this draft. The only thing i’d change is picking Thompson over Spievey since Thompson could convert to safety.
I getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.
sergio kindle
i cant see TITANS on the clock and Sergio Kindle still being on the board and tennesse picking a corner over him . just not gonna happen.. sergio could go to kansas or cleveland is what im hearing from those parts of the country .. i guess what im saying is if sergio is on the board when tennesse is up .. dont expect titans to pass on BIG SERG
One of the best Cowboys mocks I have seen in awhile!
Though it does not address our S need the values of the players drafted is awesome. Benn at 59 is a steal. Though he is a bit raw he has a great size speed combo. This draft also completely fixes the OL.
I like Sergio Kindle...
… for Miami’s first pick over Brandon Graham. But it may be between the three… Derek Morgan, Brandon Graham and Sergio Kindle and agree it is most probable a Rush OLB at #12.
I really love the Morgan Burnett pick at #43 as a Free Safety for the Dolphins. Haven’t seen anything like it in other Mocks. Seems a perfect fit.
I don’t think Terrell Troup will be around when Miami picks in the third though… but a very realistic mock.

No QBs in the second round. Pike, Lefevour, Robinson to the 4th or worse?
I have to say that I agree with MB on the Vikings 1st pick. Unless there is some insane difference between CBs Ghee,Warren, Cox, Robinson, ect, I would use my 1st round pick on a real difference maker with the 1st round pick. I will agree that you have the stud DTs and DEs already going to other teams. This means that JPP and Weatherspoon are the only two immediate difference makers to choose. Then take the best CB in the second. However, if you really rate Ghee closer to Haden than to Cox then I can’t dispute your pick.
I would not expect Colt McCoy to drop to the third. I would take Myron Rolle here simply as value. But a DT, a Guard, a DE are also needed. But if the Viking coaches like McCoy for their QB of the Future I see them taking him. My problem is this. If they truly believe he is the future why would they wait until the third to get him. I think it more likely they use their #30 pick on any QB who they feel is a “Franchise” QB. At least use their #62 pick. What if you waited for your future and in the third round Arizona took him with the #91 pick? No, If the Vikes don’t take him earlier I see them waiting on a project way later in this draft like Robinson, Lefevour, Crompton, Skelton, ect. and to keep building that defense with the first three picks.
Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes
Broncos.
I would LOVE Pouncey in the second, but I fear it’s getting less likely that he’ll be available at #45. I think Williams is a fine pick in the first, as well. I agree that CB might become a priority for Denver, but I’m just not much into Murphy specifically. Very impressive effort overall, though!

Seahawks:
Can’t complain with Clausen, A. Davis, and Greg Hardy, though if Lamarr Houston drops into the third round, I’d be praying for us to trade up to draft him.
Dream Draft: Clausen, Brown (#24), Houston, McKnight, Mike Williams, Black, McManis, DTN.
Bills
Right on with you mock ….OT/LB/DT …. would love to trade down in the first though for an extra pick
Raiders
OMG, so far this is the best draft I’ve seen from the Raiders standpoint. Is there anyway we can get you into their war-room…dress up in a black jumpsuit and dawn some old-man shades and pick away!
No more raining on Bruins Nation's rainy parade, they took their ball and went home.
I like it
a little dissapointed that you didnt have the Dolphins getting a WR but adressing our key needs on D is justa s important

Browns fan here, this is my first post over here. From my perspective, good mock. I really like Matthews in the 2nd. I’m also high on Demaryius Thomas, but that’s just me.
However, it seems like you’re pretty low on all of the reciever this year. Just a general impression I got.

I didn't want the WRs to drop so much
it just happened. In my last mock it was the CBs.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
