Yoshinator Mock Draft Version 3 with trade down

[Yoshinator]

This is the third installment of the Yoshinator Mock Draft. In this one, we will have a trade down. We will target the Los Angeles Rams as they have both OT and EDGE needs, and we will do a trade down with them from 15 to 19 and receive their compensatory 3rd round pick at 99 in exchange. Lets see how this works out!

 

Round 1 TRADE: Colts trade pick 15 for picks 19 and 99 from the Los Angeles Rams

 

Round 1: Cooper DeJean, CB/S, Iowa

Round 2: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon

Round 3 Pick 82: Brandon Dorius, EDGE, Oregon

Round 3 Pick 99: Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington

Round 4: Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin

Round 5: Tykee Smith, S, Georgia

Round 6: Chau Smith-Wade, CB, Washington State

Round 7: Tip Reiman, TE, Illinois 

 

So this is a bit of a different Mock Draft with a trade down for a player a lot of people may not expect us to get. If Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold are gone, then this is a possibility to get DeJean IMO. We trade down with the Rams and let them select an OT or EDGE and grab DeJean before the Steelers (they may have interest). Troy Franklin is just a really good WR that grades out well, and I think he'll have an impact on the team right away. Dorius is a good EDGE that can fight for a starting job or be depth and replace one of Paye or Dayo next year. Rosengarten can be tackle depth and possibly replace Braden Smith sooner than later. Braelon Allen is an athletic freak and comes from the same school as Jonathan Taylor. He's only 20 and can get playing time instantly. Tykee Smith is nice S depth and can make the opening roster as a backup most likely. Wade should probably go higher than he's going. Better football player than athlete, he has a high motor and can fight for a roster spot on a weak secondary. Finally, Tip Reiman is a great blocking TE. With him, we can release Mo Allie-Cox and have our blocking TE of the future.
