I work night shifts so when I get home in the evenings it takes a while to whined down so reading this board and doing Mocks help me with that, hope you enjoy.

Round 1. Pick 18: Jonathan Cooper OG University of North Carolina
I'm kind of leary he wont be there at 18 but when its all said and done I really believe either him or Sheldon Richardson will be on the board at 18.
Alternate Pick: Sheldon Richardson DT Mizzou

Round 2. Pick 47: Damontre Moore DE Texas A&M
What a difference two months make, this kid was a sure fire top 5 pick now he's a mid second round player. I know they brought him for Dallas Day and Broaddus says they like him. He wont start this season but he provides this team with a guy who allows us to move on from paying an aging Anthony Spencer in 2014.
Alternate Pick: Eric Reid S LSU

Round 3. Pick 80: Giovani Bernard RB University of North Carolina
There's is a good chance he may be gone by pick 80 but he may also slide this far. Guys like Bell, Franklin, Taylor, Ball and Lattimore have all been rising as of late which could push Bernard down due to some concerns about durability. If he's available this late we should take a hard look at adding him to our backfield.
Alternate Pick: Le'Veon Bell RB Michigan St

Round 4. Pick 114: Gerald Hodges LB Penn St
We need more depth at linebacker after the scheme switch and another linebacker from LB University would be a great addition. He's a lot like the Moore selection, adding good depth to our roster at position we've seen a lot of injuries.
Alternate Pick: Sean Porter LB Texas A&M

Round 5. Pick 151: Josh Evans S Florida
He's really a under the radar guy because of the amount of talent he played with at Florida but he's a very talented Free Safety in his own right. He could go a little higher than this pick but 4th-5th round is the around the area he could come off the board. He actually could push to start this season because of Johnson being the unknown.
Alternate Pick: JJ Wilcox Georgia Southern

Round 6. Pick 185: Charles Johnson WR Grand Valley St
Broaddus mentioned him a week ago on the Draft Show and this week Kiper and McShay both mentioned him as the ultimate sleeper at the WR position in this years draft. With our poor luck with keeping WR's healthy, he could turn out to be a late round steal like Harris was a couple of years ago.
Alternate Pick: Everett Dawkins DT Florida St

I tried to find a spot to find us some help at DT but really couldnt find spot after round 2 where the value and talent balanced out for the pick. I'm sure they'll try to find some help at that spot unlike myself but without adding in trade down scenarios it was a tough feat. Feel free to dissect and hope you take time to watch all the videos.

This is one of the better mocks I've seen. I particularly like the Evans pick.

I would do back flips if we were able to get the first 3 players out of this draft. Absolute studs at each of their respective positions.

I think our LB stable is pretty set and deep. I wouldn't mind seeing Chris Faulk! Brennan Williams or Barrett Jones with that 4th round pick.

Regardless, I really like your mock and you certainly put some really good work into it. Thanks for the great read and visuals.

I think value wise you probably could have gotten a Bennie Logan, Brandon Williams, Akeem Spence or Jordan Hill in the 3rd or lower. Another name I read somewhere that said he might do better in the pros than in college and a name I have not heard much of ...Everett Dawkins from FSU.

Either way I can't really complain much about the draft but would have liked to had a 3 or 1 tech and you kind of did address the 3 (richardson) as an alt pick in the first.

Yeah I tried to find a spot for Faulk in the fourth but my gut tells me if they get Cooper at 18 they won't address anymore positions on the oline via the draft. I honestly think they really want to sign either Clabo or Winston just to rid themselves of Doug Free.

Yeah, this is the best mock I've seen. I don't think Cooper will be there. He's just an amazing player. I really like the Evans pick. Seeing mocks like this gives me hope of finding that safety I want and not having to break the bank to get him. I also like Johnson in the 6th and Gio in the 3rd. Outstanding work and you can tell you put a lot of thought into it. I also appreciate the vids you presented. Thanks for doing this. I would love if you did another.

I agree with this. We can only hope Cooper will be there.

Damontre Moore at 47 would be outstanding because he would be playing or a second contract from the word go.

Looking more like Cooper will go before 18
Moore will be off the board before our 2nd pick
Benard will be off the board before our 3rd.

This is a great mock for us but very unlikely to happen.

If we could by some miracle get Cooper and Moore in the 1st two rounds, I'm not sure I'd know what to do with myself.
Everything else would be gravy.

I'm a UNC fan. Stay away from Gio Bernard. He is Felix 2.0, way too soft to play RB in the NFL. Seems to always have some sort of nagging injury.


Taylor or Bell in the 3rd.

Like the other picks, of course Cooper is my choice for #18.

The music in the Cooper video is called Early Morning May by Ronald Jenkees, not Early Morning Way. I really dug the song, so I looked it up.
