This could make things interesting in the Kyler Murray situation.

Nice find, thanks. Interesting not just because of what the A's are doing (and their intention to "aggressively promote" Murray from the minors) but that multiple NFL teams think they can scheme around Murray's weaknesses and short stature and put a 1st round grade on him. I wonder how much of that is driven by need. Just last year, scouts were "terrified" of this year's QB draft class.

Daniel Jeremiah said thst Josh Jacobs is near if not the top of the RB board. A do all 3 down RB with lots of tread on his tires. Bucky compared him to a Kamara situation when he was coming out.

He and Bucky also compared Ridley to M Thomas

PFF's most recent mock has 5 wrs (Arcadia-Whiteside, Brown, Harry, Harmon, and Hollywood) going in the first round (now, it must be stated Steve does his mocks very differently, in that he mocks what HE would do, NOT what he thinks the teams will actually do). I know there are flaws in how PFF grades (no system will ever be perfect), but they are a resource that has watched/tracked every play of every game dating back to when these guys were freshman, so I do find some value in their work (since I don't have hours upon hours to watch these guys, although I do the best I can this time of year, lol).

I'd be kind surprised if Arcadia-Whiteside goes round 1 (he seems more like a day 2 pick to me), but the other 4 I could very easily see going in the first if they test well at the combine/pro days. He also has 3 qbs (Murray, Haskins, and Grier) in the first, and one TE (Sternberger). I LOVE Grier, but I doubt he makes it into the first day. I will have to go back and watch Sternberger. He did have a productive year, over 800 yards and 10 tds I believe in his only year of production. He never stood out to me on tape, but I honestly was never closely paying attention to him.

Arcega-Whiteside*

I would be very surprised if 5 WRs are drafted before DK. I am also a big PFF fan, but yes they basically base their mock drafts purely off of their grades, so you have to take their stuff with a grain of salt. For example last year they kept putting Maurice Hurst as their like 4th overall pick in all of their mock drafts all the way up until the actual draft started, despite the fact there was obviously no chance of him going in the 1st round due to the heart issue that was discovered during the combine. I don't remember any other specifics off the top of my head but there were many other instances of their mocks being wildly different than most others, they just stick to their grades religiously. So while I love them as a resource for evaluating players individually, I put nearly no stock in their mock drafts.

Small school guy, but i think Preston Williams is this year's Kenny Golladay.
A steal later in drafts.

Something tells me the 2019 rookie analysis will be very volatile. Just a ton of really good but not clearly great prospects. Gonna be a lot of fun seeing how GroupThink will struggle to order them.

He also sent D.K. Metcalf to the Titans, which would be HILARIOUS and a complete glass of cold water to the face for the presumptive #1 WR.

Glad to hear I am not the only one. I drooled over Doctson for over a year before he came out.

I will die on this hill.

That mock is hilariously bad.
