New Coaching Hires Mock

[Risen Star]

So who's going to float the rumor that Sylvester Williams is on PEDs to make him fall to the 3rd round?

I think the two Williamses and Barner go higher than selected here.

I've been wanting to take a late round flyer on the Honey Badger for a while now. Definitely not a RKG, but wow, it he a football player. If we manage to add him late, I will be ecstatic.

Ansah in the first round is something I just wouldn't do at this point. Too high a bust factor, IMO. We need guys we know are going to contribute right away with the first round. Besides, I think (hope) that Spencer comes back and we are OK at DE. I think we end up going either DT, OG or S in round 1. Like you, I can see us waiting until the second to add an OL... So at this point I'd guess either DT or S.

I love Jones in round 2, and think he is very good. He's all pro from the neck up and that is something we can always use, and you know Garrett will love it. He's solid from the neck down and should be a very good C/G for years.

The Williams brothers would be fine if they are still available at those picks.

I agree... NC should have been top 10 with all the guys they've been sending to the NFL lately.

If we had a need for a returner than I'd be ok with the honey badger.

As a corner he is nothing special. Ill pass on this one.

[visionary]

we have to hit on our 1-3 picks

no boom or bust prospects

Using the CBS rankings right now, so blame them.

For those who don't like Mathieu, have you seen the video of his recent interview?

Is ziggy a homer pick Hos?
I mean it looks like he doesn't know he has arms and hands, let's guys get into his body. I've seen him tossed around before. I don't know. But I'm very curious to know more of your opinion on ziggy.

[MartinRamone]

Wont be sad if that happens, very good picks there.

if he actually measures in at 5'10, I'd consider watching the video. But I think he'll measure in at 5'8 or so, which means his celing is 3rd/4th CB and special teams ace. Considering his baggage, I wouldn't bother.

As far as the rest of the mock...sign me up.

We don't have a 7th round pick this year.

[mickswag]

Wouldn't be a bad draft at all, Hos. But I do agree with Risen here. The two Williams players and Barner will probably be gone before those picks.

Here is my pet cat RB this year. Speed to burn and more moves than Ex Lax. He is versatile and he plays hard every snap.

Homer-ism aside I like Franklin better. They are slated to go around the same round of the draft. Franklin has a better body for the NFL and has been more consistent and have not had his stats padded by playing in a gimmick offense.

[proline]

If Jones is a "must have", why wait until round 2?

[Bigdog]

Hos,

I like it and hopes it goes this way but I do not think your 2-4 picks will be there when we pick. I think they will be picked at least a round earlier. Jones will be picked in early 2nd or late 1st in my opinion.

[johnnyd]

Serious question , How old is Ezekial Ansah?

[gmoney112]

Wouldn't mind this draft. However, I believe a safety will be taken relatively high.
