2018 Mock Drafts

$13 million would be the highest paid guard in the NFL. I would pay him $10.

Reportedly the Redskins are not interested in signing Long. And Kouandjo is nothing special.http://www.detroitlionspodcast.com/lucas-walker/2018/01/08/looking-possible-detroit-lions-free-agent-targets-guard-andrew-norwell/

I really don't know Norwell, and not that this is a definitive source, but if it is accurate that he rates out as the best Guard in the NFL this year than I would expect as a free agent he would be looking to be the highest paid.

That's interesting about Long, where have you heard this? From everything that I have read he seems to be a solid starter, but I haven't paid close attention.

Kiper for what its worth has us taking Baker at 13

Can't rule it out until we know what's going to happen with Kirk. And I can't definitively say that letting Kirk go and drafting Baker wouldn't be the best thing for our future.

I'd rather keep Kirk and draft a defensive lineman at 13. But who knows.

If we lose Kirk I've said all along that I want BM, not just because I'm a Sooner but because the dude is a playmaker that is hungry to show people he is the real deal.

What concerns me more from that article though is Zach Brown, he was really a difference maker, if they aren't able to pay him I wonder what the plan would be to replace him.

All of the ones in bold are the big pros he can bring and is why many compare him to Russell Wilson.

Inconsistent field vision

Teams question how will he perform when forced to stay in the pocket?
Didn't play a lot of top competition

Will need more development for working under center
Transition from a college-style to pro-style offense

Kiper isn't always right.

The Skins can afford to pay Zach Brown what he's worth - probably $7M per - but they just don't want to pay him. Same dumb-ass FO we all know! The guy was a true stud for us, but NO.

From the Oklahoma games I've seen, his teammates seam to love the guy and rally around him. I think he's worth the chance if there at 13. And hope his play (play only) is like a young Drew Brees or R. Wilson and less like Manziel/RG3. Hell, I'd take him, playing like this years Keenum. All QB have a risk, sometimes you just gotta go for it.
