Biggems' Newest Mock

[Hostile]

Good draft, however, I've had my fill of 7th round offensive linemen.

Reynolds is actually a decent player. He might even climb a couple of rounds higher.

 

[Biggems]

Well this is how I see it. Jerry has gone off the deep end and signed all our starting OL to long term deals, even though our protection and run blocking struggled last season and this season. So we have a ton of money tied into the OL, and I doubt any of them, other than maybe Kosier, gets relegated to the bench. We also have Holland, who can play either G position, and Free, who can play either T position. So that leaves 3 spots available for backups.

Dallas Reynolds can play all 5 OL positions. He is big, durable, and smart. He is also a character guy. His versatility is quite valuable.

George Bussey played Tackle at Louisville. However, I see him being moved to OG in the pros. He is a heady player and plays with good leverage and technique. He has the ability to pull if need be. BTW, he just bleeped onto my radar.

Ryan Delrosal is a small school project. He has nice size and very good speed for an OL. I think with his speed, he would be a solid backup for Flozell. I doubt Delrosal would have any problems with speed rushers off the edge, the way Flo does.

I like these 3 options late in the draft....and it allows us to get the depth we need all throughout our defense early in the draft.

Besides.....how did a lot of those early OL picks pan out for us since 96...maybe 3-4 prospects have done anything good for us out of the several we have drafted in the first 3-4 rounds since then.

 

[Macnalty]

The weables have 2 1st's IIRC so they too get 2 bites...

Oh lord that hurts already, I can see the pain coming with those first rounders. God help us if they find another steal like last year.

As much as I would love to overall our underachieving Oline, I just don't see it happening this year, which means that we'll probably be trolling the depths in the later rounds.

Anyone know the contract status of our Olinemen?

 

[TheCount]

Perhaps. I don't know much about him.

But you gotta spend money to make money, and so far late round linemen haven't worked out here. Not sure I think that's about to change any time soon.

 

[BigBoy63]

Lovin your mock. But its okay even if roy miller has to play nose tackle cause its not lookin like canty is gonna return, so slide Ratliff to DE and then work the Rookie into the NT position. Also like the Clay Matthews pick with our second pick. The man is a tank.

 

[AbeBeta]

6 - QB Mike Reilly Central Washington - 6'3 215
I have been on his bandwagon for a very long time. Since Colt is going back to UT, Reilly is my guy.

I know some folks who know this kid's family. He is being told to expect to be picked somewhere b/w the 5th and 7th rounds.

nice sig........but I wish Crayton, the mouth, was as easy to shut down as Crayton, the WR.

 

[bpfred]

After this week's practices in Mobile, my guess is Sidbury moves much higher. He'll be long gone before the sixth.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Ok now I do not know how realistic this is, since some of these players seem to be soaring up the board. So here it goes.......With one of our 5ths, we traded down a few spots and added a 6th

2 - CB/S Sean Smith Utah - 6'3 215
I really hope he is still there when we draft. I have seen him in the first on a few mocks. I think he can be our future FS.....we just need him to fall to us at 52.

3 - OLB Clay Matthews USC - 6'3 240
I am not a huge fan of Trojan LBs. However, this kid can play. He is a 3rd generation NFLer. I know his dad and uncle are in the HOF, not sure if his grandfather is. However, those are some darn good genetics.

4 - SS Jonathan Casillas Wisconsin - 6'2 225
Silver Bear has warmed me up to this pick. He keeps comparing him to Darren Woodson. I have read up on the guy and he is fast, hits, and tackles. He has to be better than any SS we currently have on the team.

4 - DE Roy Miller Texas - 6'1 300
He played DT in college, and could even play it for the Cowboys. However, I move him to DE opposite Ratliff. I think he would wreak havoc on the end. He would open things up for our OLBs to rush the passer.

5 - CB Joe Burnett UCF - 5'11 185
I am not sure if he lasts till the 5th round, but I hope so. He is a ballhawking CB. We need playmakers in the secondary and he is definitely one.

5 - ILB Jasper Brinkley USC - 6'2 270
I am hoping he drops this far. I am not a big fan of his, but the kid can ball. He is a tackling machine, something the interior of our defense is sorely lacking.

5 - WR Jarrett Dillard Rice - 5'11 185
He is a touchdown machine. He is fast, quick, acrobatic, and will go after any ball....usually coming down with it, especially in the end zone. I want Quan Cosby, but Dillard is 3 years younger. I want Deon Butler, but Dillard is a proven commodity.

6 - DT Sammie Lee Hill Stillman - 6'3 330
He may go higher, but I am hoping that the small school thing holds him back. I think he is going to be a steal. He is a high character guy and plays like a beast.

6 - OLB Lawrence Sidbury Richmond - 6'4 265
You want smart.....this guy is one of the smartest guys in the draft. While at Richmond, he designed a computer program that his team used to calculate opponent defensive tendencies. The kid can get to the QB too.

6 - QB Mike Reilly Central Washington - 6'3 215
I have been on his bandwagon for a very long time. Since Colt is going back to UT, Reilly is my guy.

7 - OT Ryan Delrosal Dixie St. - 6'5 313
Big, athletic, agile....and can play both Tackle positions

7 - OG George Bussey Louisville - 6'2 306
Plays with a mean streak. A very good run blocker. Can get out and pull. Played OT in college, but most likely will be an OG in the NFL. His versatility is an asset.

7 - OL Dallas Reynolds BYU - 6'5 330
Can play all 5 OL positions. This type of versatility is valuable from your backups.

I like it i'm a huge fan of Jarrett Dillard he put a massive numbers up at Rice. It's really crazy and he doesn't get talked about at all.

 

[silverbear]

That's the first time I've seen Casillas being considered as a SS. I actually like him as Thomas' replacement.

You must not have read any of my mocks, then... LOL...

NFL Draft Scout also lists him as a possible conversion project to SS...

I don't know how his game would translate to the secondary.

Gee, I dunno... can you think of a former great Cowboys safety who was an OLB in college?? A guy who stood about 6-1, weighed in at around 220-225 pounds, and ran the 40 in 4.4 seconds??

It's not measurables that are the question, obviously. Casillas is a freak.

Still, Darren Woodson happens once every twenty years or so. Linebacker to safety just doesn't happen that easily, and Casillas was a run stopper more than a coverage guy.

That's why I like him better playing next to James. I think he'll get up to the 240 range with his frame and still have 4.5ish speed, and he seems to hold the point of attack well enough at his current weight. He was easily the best of Wisconsin's very good LB group.

I'd also like to see us take a late day 2 flier on DeAndre Levy if he's still there. He's underweight right now, but he's a skilled blitzer off the edge a playmaker in general. Just isn't the specimen Casillas is.

Carnell Lake, John Lynch, Pat Tillman..


What do those 3 and Woodson have in common besides the college linebacker/nfl safety transition ?

Pac 10?

 

[irvin4evs]

Pac 10?

Past twenty years.

Still, neither of those three are at woodson's level, which was more what I was getting at. For every one of those guys there's a whole crapload of Jon Alstons.

I'm a huge Woodson fan but Lynch and Lake were pretty darn good players. Tillman was on his way to being one as well.

I base my opinion on more than just his measurables... I have seen a number of different draft websites that mentioned that he has the cover skills to make the move to safety... for example, NFL Draft Scout says this about him:

Safety-like in coverage, able to shadow tight ends and slot receivers. ... Also handles coverage responsibilities against running backs in the flat or on wheel routes.

Scouting reports like this are what got me to thinking he could move to strong safety, a la Woodson...

 

[Biggems]

Wasnt Troy P. a LB at USC?

 

[irvin4evs]

I'm a huge Woodson fan but Lynch and Lake were pretty darn good players. Tillman was on his way to being one as well.

No doubt. It's just that, IMO, Woodson is one of the best EVER to play. I don't see that with Lynch and Lake, though they were decade standouts. Tillman was more of a year to year pro bowler type at his best, IMO.

 

[irvin4evs]

Wasnt Troy P. a LB at USC?

I really don't think so.
