Trade back mock

[Macnalty]

No way Travis Fredrick is picked in the first or second rd you must have him confused with someone else. He is rated behind Barrett Jones who is scheduled for third rd.

We are moving AWAY from a 3-4 so I don't place as much importance as you on a big run stuffer, NT. Especially as we may end up with Josh Brent playing again in 2014 in Dallas. And we can probably get by another year with Ratliff as the 1 Tech. Especially since it costs more to cut him than to keep him for 2013.

I also struggle to rate Jonathon Jenkins, Jesse Williams and Sylvester Williams far apart.

[View Full Quote]I fully expect at least 2 QBs to go before 18. Teams will reach for fits. They want the guys locked up for 5 years and could care less about reaching at QB. So we may have the 15th or 16th best player still there at 18. I am okay trading down some but it has become the cool thing to do on these mocks and the truth is moving down causes you to lose out on very good players. I'd really only want to move down for a kings ransom.

I mean I like all of those guys, but I wouldn't rate any of them at all any higher than the other, or above Williams much for that matter. Like I said I see a lot of guys ranked very similar. I don't see the problem with trading down and adding as many picks as possible in the top 80

That's not a universal ranking. Many had Frederick rated ahead of Jones. Now that Frederick reported to the combine at 312 lbs, he is probably going to be rated even higher. His issue was borderline quickness; however, he was listed at 338 in college. He should test well in the quickness measureables at 312.

The Lisfranc injury/surgery is pushing Barrett Jones down the rankings.
