Mike Mayock explains why Denver Broncos shouldn’t go OT first

– Asked about this year’s top quarterbacks – which include Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer, North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson – Mayock said, “I’m not bullish on the quarterbacks this year because I don’t think any of them are ready on Day 1”.

“McDowell is an interesting guy”, Mayock told reporters on a conference call Monday.

The Raiders have proven to be solid talent evaluators, and will use this part of the pre-draft process to round out opinions of some players and figure out which options best suit their franchise heading into the future. “And my message to National Football League teams would be you’ve got to keep trying”.

“He’s a space player”, Mayock said. “From my perspective, pairing a big back with what they have in-house would really help them”. Moreover, Jessica Roberts of the Houston Law Center is correct, I think, when she says that under the ADA employers are not supposed to make disability-related inquiries or examine prospective employees before there’s some kind of offer of employment. “You can get an edge guy in the second or third round”. Mayock said he sees Alabama’s Cam Robinson as more of a guard prospect than a tackle.

The Eagles find out if they draft No. 14 or 15 overall by a coin flip with the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.

“The way I got the quarterback thing segmented this year, is that the top four guys all have in my mind, first round talent”.

With the Bills having such a high pick, Doug Whaley and Buffalo’s front office will be very busy in Indianapolis.

“You’ve got Tom Coughlin with Dave Caldwell now”, Mayock said. “One of the guys that I think would be a great fit for Seattle is Forrest Lamp from Western Kentucky”.

“We went to Miami to play under pressure and play for big-time moments”.

DL Elijah Qualls, Washington: Qualls was listed at 6-1, 321 by UW last season and there’s a thought Qualls will need to drop a little weight in the NFL. “So safeties that can cover are at a premium”, Mayock said. They tried to remain competitive while rebuilding over the past two years. Fournette, you’re committing to a major run game effort, physicality in the run game. They can ask the prospective employees whether they can perform job-related functions, but no one at the combine is going to believe, much less say, that he can’t. “Thanks to our partnership with the City of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB), we are bringing more interactive attractions to the NFL Draft Experience and creating life-long memories that fans will never forget”.

With players already in place that are more than capable of handling the pass rushing duties, the opportunity to fill a serious need at safety should be too enticing to pass up.

When it comes to offensive tackles, Mayock acknowledged it’s a weak crop overall.

It’s always seemed more likely, due to the weakness of the draft class at tackle, that the Broncos would effectively address those positions (left and right side) in free agency. Is there an offensive lineman worthy of the seventh pick in the draft?

Russell was trending toward being one of the best quarterbacks Baylor has produced the past few seasons but injuries derailed his time in Waco significantly. He’s shown off speed on the field but will need to run a good 40 and test well to back up what we saw this past year.
