[size=+2]With the, uh, 222nd choice in the 2016 SR "Official" Draft, the Tennessee Titans select:[/size]

[size=+3]Cody Kessler, QB, USC[/size]

7644328.jpg


Cody Kessler Draft Profile

OVERVIEW
Physically, there's nothing special about Kessler; he possesses average size, an adequate arm, and fair athleticism (though he can effectively move within the pocket, which is important). The three-year starter could never crack Pac-12 first or second all-conference teams from league coaches, thrice finishing in the honorable mention category. However, Kessler was a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award the past two years because he moves the offense efficiently (3,826 yards, completed 69.7 percent of his passes; 3,536, 66.8 percent in 2015) and doesn’t turn the ball over much (39 touchdowns, five interceptions in 2014; 29 TD, 7 INT in 2015). In fact, Kessler owns the school record for career completion percentage at 67.5.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Baseline accuracy is pro quality. Never had a completion percentage lower than 65 percent as a three-*year starter. Will take what the defense gives them and keep the chains moving. Able to play "backyard catch" with open receivers underneath if defenses let him. Delivered from the pocket with a 70.4 completion percentage rate. Adequate arm strength. Good general sense of running an offense. Gets through progressions quickly. Has pocket feel with ability to climb the pocket to throw or escape from side doors when necessary.

WEAKNESSES Just a shade over 6-foot-1, which is smaller than teams like. Below average move accuracy as a passer. Ability to hit targets with catchable throws falls off the table when forced to scramble. Doesn't show poise or arm strength for deep routes needing additional time to develop. Footwork unsettled by perceived pocket pressure. Tends to hesitate over anticipating and trusting his arm. Low-risk, low-reward approach. Rarely makes the "wow" throws with velocity or touch. Feet look jittery when moving from read to read.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 5 or 6

NFL COMPARISON Aaron Murray

BOTTOM LINE Can orchestrate an offense with confidence and accuracy when operating from a clean pocket, but doesn't appear to have the mentality of a player willing to take the risks necessary to strike with big plays often enough on the pro level. Kessler has moments where it is easy to like him on tape, but the traits and tape look more like those of a good, career backup than playoff starter.
 
With the 224th pick in the SR Official Mock Draft, the San Diego Chargers select:

Nate Sudfeld QB Indiana

502541114.jpg


CBSSports.com

STRENGTHS: He certainly passes the eye test, both on the sideline and taking snaps with his set-up and delivery. Excellent arm strength to handle the NFL passing tree. He is a tall drink of water with a big arm, slinging the rock all over the field. Has the frame, arm strength and intangibles that will appeal to NFL teams as a developmental project.
WEAKNESSES: Struggles with consistency in his delivery due to his long arms, which leads to accuracy issues and sailing throws. Needs to improve his decision-making, especially once his eyes move from his initial progression. The area scouts need to see the most improvement is simply consistency. Concerns about his ability to translate his success in Indiana's up-tempo offense.

IN OUR VIEW: Sudfeld has the size and arm strength every scout is looking for, but he's not as accurate as his production in Indiana's up-tempo spread offense would indicate. The traits are there to develop, however, and in an average draft class, he could generate middle-round interest with the hopes of ultimately competing for a starting role.

SOURCES TELL US "I love his size and he made that senior jump that we like to see. He takes you on a ride because one week you really like him and the next time you see him you see a career backup at best. I've got an average backup grade on him, but we'll see what our coaches say about him." -- AFC West scout

With the 225th pick the Seahawks select

Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor

tumblr_np2olq1RMi1rmkxndo1_500.jpg


STRENGTHS One of the most long-*levered pro prospects you will ever see. Built like Adonis from the waist up with thunderous power in his hands. Able to create instant bull rush thanks to arm extension and explosive hips. Can bench press tackles to set a very strong edge. Has some 2-*gap ability when he plays square to the line of scrimmage and maintains a wider base. Incredible length puts him in position to make tackles when the ball drifts anywhere near him. Raw, but has tools and traits necessary to improve as a pass rusher if he puts the work in.

Shawn Oakman Draft Profile

I hate to do it but in the 7th I don't see too much risk here. He's not going to be drafted in the real draft but since this is make believe I'll take a chance on him.
