I've opted to skip the write ups for each prospect. I'm just going to do one write up at the end so if you want to read it you can.

I tried to do something a little different with this mock. Almost every mock I've done so far has added either a front 7 player or an OL as the first pick. A lot of mocks out there have us taking Tyler Eifert and each time I see it I want to gag. Eifert doesn't scream special to me. Keenan Allen has potential to be a top 20 WR. I don't think he's an AJ Green/Julio Jones talent, but I do think he is in the Dez Bryant/Demayrius Thomas/Jonathan Baldwin draft talent. With how well our WRs have blossomed though, he could be a stud. High points the ball well, fights for it in traffic, and has a nice size/speed ratio.

Dallas Thomas was a very good LT that moved to LG to create the best possible OL. Gives us versatility. I don't think he beats out anyone as a rookie, but is a very nice swing T/G guy to have.

Sean Porter was a 34OLB last year. This year he's playing more like a 43OLB. It's really helped his game grow. Some of the best LBs of the past few years have been the undersized ones who can play quick (Bowman, Lee, David, etc) Should be an interesting piece that can move around. Sort of a like a Von Miller lite.

Johnathan Franklin is one of my favorite RB prospects. Nice burst and power. He had some of his best games against the toughest D's, see Stanford game. Really wanted to take 2 and do what the Pats did with Ridley and Vereen. Take 2, hope one hits. So I also took Dennis Johnson. He got a chance to play this year with Knile Davis banged up and ineffective. I'm hoping DuJuan Harris opened the door for TT and CO. to consider a smaller RB. Johnson is 5'8" but a solid 212 pounds.

Travis Kelce is someone that I put in my last mock that is growing on me. Has the tools to be a nice receiver and blocker, something that we sorely need. Tired of the 1 dimensional TEs we have. Blockers that catch some gimmick passes (Crabtree and Taylor) or WR/TE hybrids (Finley and Williams). Quarless could be both but he needs to refine his receiving game and get healthy.

Tretter is a smart guy who needs a year or two to develop. Can battle EDS and Van Roten for an inside swing position.

Wooten has 10 career interceptions and does kick and punt returns. He averaged 16.4 yards per punt return. He can play primarily special teams, take Cobb off of at least one return unit to help preserve him a bit, and learn the FS and CB spots.

I don't see Allen as Jordy. Similar, but different. Jordy is a long strider with good top end speed. Allen doesn't have the top end speed but gets going quicker. He's also more elusive than Nelson in the open field. Think if we crossed Jennings with Nelson. Nelson's size, Jenning's RR, Nelson's hands, Jennings elusiveness, etc.
