Mock 2.0

[Goldenrichards83]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Our needs are S, OT, LB, DT, OG CB [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]2nd rd South Carolina 6’5 305” OT Jamon Meredith [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]This versatile lineman can play guard and both tackle positions. He threw 31 reps up on the bench and has good feet. His stock is soaring but we should be able to nab him here. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]3rd rd LSU 6’7 364 OG Herman Johnson [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Johnson's quick feet give him stellar lateral movement along the line. Such versatility allows Johnson to play either guard or tackle, but he started all 14 games for the Tigers at left guard as a junior in 2007. He started 10 games at guard as a sophomore as well, so Johnson has the experience to step in and make an impact at the next level right away. The left side of our line is set for the next 10 years.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]4th rd Notre Dame 6’2 212 SS David Bruton [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Underrated physical safety that can lay the wood. He has the potential to be one of the best gunner in the league on special teams right away and he is a very smart player and one thing that we need are smart players. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]4th rd South Carolina 6’1 252 Jasper Brinkley [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Brinkley is a mean tackling machine that could take over the ILB after Brooking retire. In the meantime he sits back and learn the ropes from the consummate pro. [/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman]5th rd South Carolina CB 5’8 182 [/FONT]Captain Munnerlyn With the exit of Anthony Henry and the move of Scandrick to the FS position we cover ourselves with an underrated corner giving our team added depth.

5th rd (comp pick) Stillmen 6’3 329 DT Sammie Lee Hill

Hopefully this is Leon Lett reincarnated. He gives us depth at the DT position.

6th rd Penn State C 6’1 304 A.Q Shipley

Backup center who Proctor can battle for a roster spot. My moneys on Shipley

6th rd (comp pick) Penn State WR Deon Butler

This guy could be a steal in the 6th rd. He has 4.3 speed and he gets so quickly in and out his cuts that’s incredible. Has nice hands and broke Mark Ingram record at Penn state for most catches

7th rd Nebraska OT Lyndon Murtha

Project tackle that could battle for a roster spot.

7th rd Georgia 6'0 242 FB Brannan Southerland

Underrated Fb that will pave the wave for our 3 headed monster.

Solid Mock although Bruton won't be there in the fourth.

Nice mock. Still think drafting a starter (instead of a project) w/the first pick is a must though.


Brinkley will play James spot, not Brooking's. And I don't see a nickel LB to replace Burnett.

What position is a rookie going to come in and start at?

How is Meredith a project?

Are you a Gamecock fan? You snagged three of them in one draft.

I'm a Georgia Bulldog fan. It just worked out that way. All 3 players are pretty good and where there taken is good value.

I agree, just curious. I would take a DB earlier if value was there, but I can't really argue with those pick values if you feel that will cover us.

BTW, I doubt Brutor or Butler will be on the board at the slots you would pick them in.

[Goldenrichards83]

I went heavy on the line because lastyear and even the year before that Tony Romo did alot of scrambling to make plays. This year he took so many hits that I was surprise he made it through the season.

I know Flo suffered a nagging injury that he struggled with all year but he struggled a bit in 07 as well. But the number one reason why I think he should be replace is his penalties are killin us. This will be the second year in a row that he leads the league in penalties and imo it sends a bad message to the team when you consistently put your team in bad situations but nothing is really done about it. We are already a team with lack of discipline and Flo imo is the main culprit in that. This should be Flos lastyear in a Cowboy uniform.

My feeling at guard is yes we have Kosier and Holland who are okay players. I say okay because in 07 Kosier was blasted for being our weakest link on this oline. In 08 he had a few great games before he got hurt. Our entire line played so bad when he wasn't there that I think some overvalue him because of that. I think he's a decent guard, I think Holland a decent guard but if you have a chance to grab a beast, you grab him and raise the competition. Best man wins.


I just want to raise the competition. Too many guys go into the season knowing there job isn't on the line. If we don't take a T early, Flo knows his job isn't in jeopardy even though he led the league in penalties 2 years in a row. I just want to keep guys on their toes.

don't forget that it's the 1st pick of the 4th round

I like it alot golden, alot, my top 2 picks right now are virtually the same, and any mock that has us stealing Deon Butler gets my vote

and in any event, Flo isn't getting any younger, the time is now to draft his sure-fire replacement, no more projects

Safety. Especially the SS spot, since Sensabaugh is basically a one year rental. At the very least, an ILB to play the nickel LB spot.

How is Meredith a project?

Merideth is intelligent & a very good athlete, but he is barely 300 lbs. He not only needs to gain weight (approx. 20 lbs, especially in the lower body), whether he plays OT or OG, but he also has been inconsistent (sometimes displays all-world burst, other times looks disinterested & slow, lacks a killer instinct).


Dallas does not need a finesse blocker on a Houck OL.

[Chocolate Lab]

Anyone else think Brinkley won't last anywhere near that long? I know a lot of mocks have him around there, but IMO he sure looked good at the combine.

I suspect actual teams have him ranked a lot higher than the draft sites do.

[SDogo]

I have no gripes with that. I would walk away pretty satisfied.

like the Brinkley, Hill, and Butler picks, other than that....not so much.
