Kiper 4 round mock draft:

[Chocolate Lab]

Wow, could've sworn I posted something in this thread earlier, but anyway...

I like all of them a lot except I'd put Brinkley in Barden's place.

I thought Webb looked really good at the combine in a lousy CB class, but isn't this way too high for him?

[BAT]

Take the the best value if the draft falls according to Kiper:

51. Michael Johnson, OLB, Georgia Tech (tempted to take C Max Unger here too)
69. Paul Kruger, ILB, Utah (OLB who will be better at ILB in the pros)
101. Herman Johnson, OG, LSU (Ladarius Webb will still be there for us later - sorely tempted to take either Zack Follett, David Veikune or Mitch King here)
117. James Casey, FB, Rice

[BAT]

The next 7 picks:


5th - ILB Jason Williams, Western Illinois
CB/KR Ladarius Webb, Nicholls State
DL Sammie Lee Hill, Stillman

6th - QB Stephen McGee, Texas A&M
WR Tiquan Underwood, Rutgers

7th - DE Rulon Davis, UC Berkeley
ILB Daniel Holtzclaw, Eastern Michigan*



*in case Kruger can't cut it at ILB, solid backup to Bradie James

I caught Kiper on the radio today.

He talked about the depth of the draft and the safeties.

He said Louis Delmas was a good football player. He mentioned Dallas at 51.

Also, he likes Rashad Johnson.

He said size is an issue for both of them. He talked about Johnson's playing weight at Alabama being light.

He sees Chip Vaughn as a 3-4 round guy, but some teams think he's a 6-7 round guy. Kiper said his knock is that he doesn't make enough plays.

William Moore is Jeckle and Hyde. Mayock said he played like a top 15 pick during his junior year but played like a fourth rounder his senior year.

Kiper likes Chirs Clemons, out of Clemson. He said he could be a 4th round pick who could excel. He said he played well at Clemson.

All these safeties have flaws. It's a weak class. There may be a few good ones, but who is it? What if you miss in round 2?

I would take Rashad Johnson in round 3 before Delmas at 51, and I think he might be there.


I really think Duke Robinson is the player Dallas truely covets at 51, and I think this Brian Robiskie and Louis Delmas stuff is smoke, and I think the smoke is directed at the Bears.

Is it a coincidence that when Delmas' stock starts to fall, we hear how Dallas "loves" him. Delmas has been compared to former Bears safety, Mike Brown.

I think Duke Robinson is within reach, and I've been back and forth.


Also, Kiper thinks Lawrence Sidbury Jr. could turn out to be one of the real stars in this draft.


Edit:


Kiper thinks Moore is coming off in early round 2.

He thinks Sidbury is coming off the board in the 2-3 round range.

Kiper thinks the same thing for Rashad Johnson.
