Sign:
OG Brian Waters

Trade down in First and add another 3rd and a 7th

1st l OT Lane Johnson l Oklahoma l 6'7 305 4.8
*Super athletic just inexperienced (former college QB, TE & DE)

2nd l C/OG Travis Frederick l Wisconsin l 6'4 335 5.2
*Versatile, great intangibles & nasty run blocker

3rd l DT Brandon Williams l Missouri Southern l 6'2 340 5.0
*Versatile & averaged 8 sacks in 3 seasons

3rd l FS David Amerson l North Carolina State l 6'2 195 4.5
*Ballhawk (13 INTs in 2011) & physical against the run

4th l RB/KR Kenjon Barner l Oregon l 5'9 190 4.3
*Homerun hitter every time touches ball (rushing, receiving, returning)

5th l DE David Bass l Missouri Western l 6'4 265 4.6
*Dominant Div II player for entire career; compares to Aldon Smith but faster and more productive

6th l ATH Tyrann Mathieu l LSU l 5-9 180 4.4
*Slot corner, dime safety, returner, whatever - playmaker extraordinaire (INT, Sack, FF, TD return); off field concerns & size less risky this late in draft

7th l SLB Cooper Taylor l Richmond l 6'4 230 4.4
*Prototypical 4-3 SLB: Long, fast and physical; convert from SS

I dont think Johnson is there at 18, never mind a trade down. Alot of people are going to tell you Frederick and Williams dont fit the schemes. I say give me guys that win one on ones and you will win games.

Agree, Johnson is doubtful to make it to #18. You would need to trade down 8 or 10 spots to get a 3rd and 7th. No way he makes it to #26 or #28.

drop amerson and taylor because the chances lane johnson last til 20 plus is near nil.

the rest isn;t a bad look with some new names.

we can probably scratch the honey badger. he is not a RKoG. He has serious issues with common sense at best and drugs at worst.

I knew I was going to get flak for the Honey Badger. I agree he is not a Garrett RKG but Garrett may no longer have the sway he once did. If Kiffin & Marinelli like him, I think they take him, especially with such a late pick. Lacewell and Les Miles may also be whispering sweet nothings in Jerry's ear. Jerry has been known to swing for the fences with late picks. That's when he likes to take chances on talented guys with problems.

Not as sure as all of you that Lane Johnson is top 15 pick. If he runs a sub 4.7 like some claim he has done, then maybe. But there is a lot of time between now and the draft and there is sure to be more risers and fallers in that time.

Trade Rat for a 3rd and 7th then. It's all dreamcasting right now anyway. But I do appreciate the feedback everyone.

Absolutely love the first 3 picks.
