SKL 2018 NFL Mock 1.0 (1st of 3) post Bostic'Burnett

[MeetJoeGreene]

Aren’t we all snippy on the board lately?

I’m not ‘sold’ on Rudolph, but I see the potential. If the Steelers like him, I’ll trust their judgement.

I’ve always liked the insight from SKL, I’ve always liked the insight from most of the guys in here. I don’t understand why there are so many penis measuring competitions over ‘opinions’ in here though. You’re all allowed to have them, even if they differ somewhat...

So chadman is back. Did you happen to see who won the mnf football exec contest this year?

Thank you. I’ve been saying that same thing since I’ve been here. Then if you don’t agree with someone, the personal insults fly. It’s stupid and childish to insult someone if they don’t agree with you. If you really don’t want to here from a poster,then just put them on ignore and move on.

SKL - Let's say the top 4 LBs are gone and they go with Rudolph. Would you still see them going for Bates (S) in round 2 or would they still think linebacker is the top need and grab someone like Darius Leonard out of S Carolina St?

[steelerkeylargo]

No need to be defensive, just saying your love for Rudolph surprises me. He isn't Warner. Mahommes yes...we both loved him and I remember your posts no need for a search.

Let me ask you....how can you say with such conviction that he isn't Warner? Warner wasn't even Warner coming out of college! We all look and see things differently. I'm not knocking anyone. I will say that i'd rather have a trained Chef cook me dinner than Bob off his Weber grill in the backyard. I watched football for a living for 20 years. I'll stand my what my eyes tell me.

I think they would take the best S or LB on their board. Whoever has the higher numerical grade. Personally I don't like Leonard for a 3-4 D because he isn't stout enough and won't be able to shed and stack at an NFL level.

MJG, that is obviously not Chadman but an imposter. Notice the constant use of the first person "I" instead of speaking in the third person "Chadman". The real question is where is the real Chadman and who is this guy that traveled to Australia to steal his identity?

Good insight, I was think that he could be this year's Rivers, but I wasn't hearing any positive noise about him. What is your thoughts on Hubbard if we took him 1st ( at 28 or if we trade back into top of 2nd)

[Steel Maniac]

This mock is what I’m concerned about:

I am not sure Hubbard fits our scheme well either. I like him better as a 4-3 DE than I do a 3-4 edge. I think he could make the transition but it would take some time. I'd like someone more ready to start year one as a 1st round pick.

You know, I’m almost afraid to ask....if you won it, clearly the standard of the competition has dropped in my hiatus.....

[Chadman]

I’ve been around here a while, just not lately. There is ALWAYS that element. That said, off season brings out the worst in us. The only time I remember a harmonious off season in here was after Tomlin won the SB....and even that only lasted until Draft Day....

It’s great to have debate, even an argument over topics, but the general ’snippyness’ that comes out either makes me laugh or cringe depending on how I woke up that morning...

Don’t fret- the more Chadman acclimatizes back into the community, the more Chadman will transform into his old self...

Again, no need to be defensive. I just don't see what you see. But, I'll tell you what. If it turns out that you are right and this guy turns out to be the next great franchise QB...then I owe you a steak dinner.

As for how I say things with such conviction...I do my homework and I also trust my eyes. Anything can happen...scouting isn't perfect...and I've had hits and misses like anyone. But, I do believe in my breakdown of talent. At the end of the day, that's why I say things with conviction.

“ Do my homework and trust my eyes.” That’s how a few of us roll!!

Shawn,
I love your mock draft... especially K. White in the 3rd. As an avid Mountaineer fan, I've watched this kid ball out the last few years. He would be an immediate help for the steeler Defense.
