FIFTH ROUND (if no WR is drafted on the first day)
Marques Colston* 6-4 230 WR Hofstra 4.55 sec. 40
Miles Austin 6-3 216 WR Monmouth 4.55 sec. 40
Jeff Webb 6-2 210 WR San Diego State 4.4 sec. 40
Reggie McNeal* 6-2 210 WR/KR (QB) Texas A&M 4.4 sec. 40
Cory Rodgers* 6-1 186* WR/KR TCU 4.6 sec. 40
Brandon Marshall 6-4 225 WR Central Florida 4.55 sec. 40
Marshall is my favorite WR in this draft. Great size, willing to do anything for the team. I think he's a 4th round prospect at this point. I love McNeal the athlete, but I don't like McNeal the leader. I don't think he gets a chance to play QB at Dallas. There are few enough snaps as is, yet alone giving some to a guy that people believe could be a great WR but is questionable as a QB but isn't overly willing to make the switch.

I like Guuillory, but he's a weak side OLB only. Not that we don't have need for a backup for Ware, but he would only be a special teams player (probably a good one) unless something bad happened. Toledo is big and he ran better than most thought he would, but he needs to lose about 20 pounds or he's going to get beat by DEs all the time. I'd say he was a better guard prospect than tackle. I simply don't like Will Allen. He may end up being Derrick Dockery, but I just don't like his lack of aggresiveness. You need a mean streak to play well in the NFL.

SIXTH ROUND
Steve Fifita 5-11 325 DT Utah 5.05 sec. 40
John Chick 6-3 265 DE/OLB Utah State 4.65 sec. 40

Jason Hunter 6-4 235 OLB Appalachian State 4.55 sec. 40
Jeromy Clary 6-6 306 OT Kansas State 4.9 sec. 40
I'm not real big on any of these guys. I've watched all of them play but Hunter and none of them warranted a draft pick in my view.

SEVENTH ROUND
Josh Huston* 6-1 195 K Ohio State No 40 time
Chris Kuper* 6-4 306 OG North Dakota 5.1 sec. 40
Shawn Willis* 6-1 260 FB Oklahoma State 4.85 sec. 40

Reed Doughty 6-1 210 FS Northern Colorado 4.6 sec. 40
Rodney Thompson 6-2 325 DT North Dakota State 5.05 sec. 40
Now we are talking. I love Willis, but he's most likely an UFA guy. Make no doubt, he is the best blocking FB in this draft and is without a doubt the strongest. He's not versatile and has had a run in with the law. He didn't fit the new Oklahoma State offense, so while I would have bet at the end of 04 that he would be a draft pick, I think now he'll come to Dallas as a free agent. Huston has a strong leg, but make the comparison to last year's Jets pick Nugent also out of tOSU, and you see that Nugent's strength didn't translate well his first year. I don't think that Huston's will either. I absolutely love Kuper. I think he goes in the 5th round of this draft. I got to see Coley play a couple times this year. Southern Miss always seems to have a guy or two that can play in the NFL. Coley looks the part, but he doesn't play with a lot of smarts some times. He bites on pumps he tries to arm tackle when he could kill smaller backs, etc. I like his athletic ability.

BEAR'S SECOND DAY MOCK:
5) Jason Hatcher 6-6 286 DE Grambling State 4.7 sec. 40
6) Steve Fifita 5-11 325 DT Utah 5.05 sec. 40
7) Josh Huston 6-1 195 K Ohio State No 40 time
As always, an interesting read that shows a lot of research. I wouldn't be upset with that draft, but it wouldn't be a 2nd day that I'd be pumped about.
