3/9 2015 NFL mock draft: Different voices change the 1st round

[BrAinPaiNt]

This week’s mock draft is a complete departure from previous editions. As the draft approaches, it’s easy to get set on certain picks. To mix things up this week, I sought the help of Matthew Fairburn, former SB Nation NFL Draft guy and now Syracuse.com Buffalo Bills beat writer.

Each week Fairburn and I host a draft podcast, and the subject of last week’s was a mock draft. We turned that podcast into this week’s mock draft, and as you’ll see several of the picks have been changed around. Among the more notable differences is how high Kentucky pass rusher Bud Dupree goes in this draft.

Crazy so here it goes...

27. Dallas Cowboys: Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
Melvin Gordon? No. Todd Gurley? Nope. Fairburn went with Coleman because his playing style is more like DeMarco Murray's than Gordon and Gurley. Coleman is a talented back who somewhat flew under the radar on a bad Indiana team. When Coleman keeps his pads low, he’s shown he can break tackles. When that happens, look out. Coleman can break big runs with ease and hits top gear in a hurry.

I know not to take Fairburn as a draft expert.
Its either Gurley or Gordon..

 

[DFWJC]

I do really like Coleman.
But not THAT much.
No thanks

Coleman is an excellent choice altho I'd go D.

 

[Alexander]

That would be awful.

 

[Hailmary]

Only RB I would consider in the first is Gurley. There will be plenty of backs to choose from in rds 2-4.

 

[jobberone]

Coleman is picking up interest as a complete back.

 

[Stash]

Only RB I would consider in the first is Gurley. There will be plenty of backs to choose from in rds 2-4.

Completely agree.

The are good backs to be had later, and Gurley is the one special one.

He's got great numbers but I just don't see it with him. Haven't seen a lot though.
