OK this mock assumes a few things. Number 1, the age guard rail is out the window be cause covid pushed so much talent into the 4th and 5th year players of this draft. 2 IMO AB can’t keep everybody he has as alot of pending free agents. And some serious cap space is already spoken for especially with baker and ward needing new deals. So I am replacing WR Beckham, DE Jackson, TE Njoku, DT Billings, LB Walker, LB Smith, CB Stewart and FB Janovich via the draft. #3 I am also assumming the Browns will be picking in the 20’s.

1 George Karlaftis, DE, Purdue
Height: 6-4. Weight: 275. Junior
A powerful DE that has burst as well as bend. What he lacks is refined pass rush moves and a variety of them as well. High mtor guy thats always around the ball.

2 Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
Height: 6-3. Weight: 213. Senior
Pierce is the big play WR for the Bearcats. AT 6-3 with long arms and legs he is a long strider that actually doesn’t take long to build up to top speed. He also is a a good route runner and physical after the catch. He also likes to stiff arm smaller CB’s with extreme disrespect for their welfare and ego. I really like that about him. IMO he is also a very good scheme fit as he run blocks as well as he stiff arms.

3 Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa
Height: 6-5. Weight: 245. Senior
Campbell is a large rangy middle linebacker that is the heart and soul of Iowa;s 4-2-5 base nickel D. His most productive game thus far was against colorado state where he had 16 tackles 3 passes defenced and 1 fumble recovery. Saturday vs Penn State on a blitz he sidelined the opposing QB with a viscious clean hit just as he wa releashing the ball. Said hit tilted the game in Iowa’s favor.

4 Riley Moss, CB, Iowa
Height: 6-1. Weight: 195. Senior
For HS champion track star, who has turned himself into one of the highest graded CB’s this year in the Big 10. Said grade is a bit weighted by two pick 6’s vs Indiana. But as hey like muscle…thats GOOD weight. Moss is also a bit of unicorn as he will likely be the 1st White corner drafted in a long while. In Woods scheme he would be a perfect slot corner heir apparent to Troy Hill who is on a 2 year deal.

4 Sterling Weatherford, SS/LB, Miami (OH)
Height: 6-4. Weight: 225. Senior
Weatherford plays a lot of over hang/Star/Joker box safety over TE for the Red Hawks. As well as deep middle and split safety spots. So being Woods likes LB/SS highbreds one would think he would be a scheme fit as well. Weatherford even has some rush moves when he blitzs off the edge. He also has been an eraser vs TE’s in coverage. As he is a match in height speed and wing span for most tight ends.

5 John Ridgeway, DT, Illinois State/Arkansas
Height: 6-6. Weight: 320. RS Senior
Ridgeway Is a massive 2 down DT that will be a nice rotational piece that can spell the Malick’s and keep up that massive bull dozer middle pressure. and on run down he can replace Jackson.As he like McDowell is a an excellent run stuffer. Also a DT like this keeps the LB’s clean.

6 Brant Kuithe, TE/FB/RB/WR, Utah
Height: 6-2. Weight: 240. Senior
Out side of offencive line and QB, Kuithe has lined up and contributed from every other position. He is a bigger fast stronger more versatile offencive weapon that Felton. But with all that versatility the moniker of jack of all trades master of none is somewhat accurate. But it is also accurate to saye he is match up nightmare for linebackers and safeties. The thing I find appealing is you could send him and felton out there in an I formation. And then have Baker audible to a 5 wide look and the DC would be pissed because he is in a base D. The opposite is also true though You could line up 5 wide and then auible to an I back formation and run on a dime or nickel set. The wizardry KS could do with an H-back like this would be endlessly entertaining. IMO.

7 Noah Gindorff, TE, North Dakota State
Height: 6-6. Weight: 266. Senior
Excellent D2 blocking TE that also has excelent hands. He just is not going to set any land speed records.
