Back to the Future mock
the countdown begins....
2nd round, #51: Oregon SS Patrick Chung
rangy, athletic safety to compete with Gerald Sensabaugh to start at SS, also could contribute on special teams as a rookie
3rd round (from Cleveland), #69: Ohio State OLB Marcus Freeman
replaces Kevin Burnett's coverage responsibilities in the nickel, but unlike Burnett, Freeman has the size to turn into an every-down LB
4th round (from Detroit), #101: Arkansas C Jonathan Luigs
could replace Gurode at C and making the line-calls, or becomes Kyle Kosier part II at LG, unbelievable 1st step and is sharp as a whistle
4th round, #117: Oregon State CB Coye Francies
disappointing 40 times have dropped this offseason standout's stock, he still provides great agility, strength and explosion though
5th round, #156: Abilene Christian WR Johnny Knox
linear WR with great longspeed, burst off the snap and getting into his routes, a natural hands catcher who high-points the ball
5th round (from Tennessee), #166: Texas Tech OG Louis Vasquez
typical of TT linemen, Louis hasn't played in a traditional line scheme, but unlike most TT linemen, Vasquez isn't a finesse player, one of the strongest players in the draft pushing up 39 reps, and has been athletically tested playing in Mike Leach's spread offense
5th round (Compensatory), #172: Memphis DT Clinton McDonald
explosive, high-effort player who could swing between playing NT and DE
6th round (from Miami), #197: Virginia TE John Phillips
one of the best blockers in his class, and a solid short and mid-range target in the passing game
6th round (Compensatory), #208: Texas DE Henry Melton
intriguing pass-rush specialist who will have to grow into his role in the pros, possesses good size, burst off the snap and explosion for OLB in a 3-4, special team's gunner
7th round (from Detroit), #210: Oregon DE Nick Reed
surprisingly athletic pass-rusher with a multitude of moves and a non-stop motor, his best position may be ILB in the 3-4, backing up Bradie James and giving him a rest
7th round, #227: Utah CB Brice McCain
lightning quick defender with the speed and tenacity to excel in a man-heavy scheme, used to being on an island, explosive player who is also an asset on return teams, although he may be too small to continue returning kickoffs
bang, badda, BOOM
