Dan the Man FINAL Mock Draft

[dantheman41]

This is my final mock draft. Hopefully this is comes to fruition. Not a big fan of trading up especially when we have a TON of needs, but feel like we could still get players in this case.


Free Agency
Tyson Clady - 2 Year Deal

1st Rd (Trade up to 14 for a 3rd rd pick) Jonathan Cooper G - Self Explanatory. Fits zone scheme perfectly. I prefer over Warmack

2nd Rd (Trade down for additional 4th rd pick) Alex Okafor DE - Perfect fit for the strong side end to replace Spencer next year

4th Rd - Jordan Hill DT - Could potentially be the perfect 3 technique to replace Ratliff/Hatcher next season

4th Rd - Stepfan Taylor RB - Can handle the workload if Murray gets injured again

5th Rd - Jakar Hamilton FS - Extremely talented guy. McShay says he is a top 7 safety talent wise in this draft. Excellent value here. Has had some injury issues

6th Rd - Ricky Hamilton T - Good value here. Could be a powerful right tackle. Helped lead Wisconsin to one of the best running games in football


Thoughts?

1. Who's Tyson Clady? Love child of Tyson Clabo & Ryan Clady?
2. Who's Ricky Hamilton?
3. No way in the world Jerry would trade up for a guard, you don't trade up for guards. Maybe if Lane Johnson was somehow there then I'm fine with it.

Don't think Okafor is gonna make it to our original pick in the 2nd round. If it worked out that way I would be happy. I like the Taylor pick as well.

Oops meant Ricky Wagner and Tyson Clabo

No need to trade up for Cooper when he will likely be there at 18 anyway.

Cooper won't be there at 18 unless several teams reach for QBs. It could happen, but not likely.

And they said the same thing about Decastro. Remember the "can't miss" some people on this board called the best player in the draft? Never say never.

1st Rd (Trade up to 14 for a 3rd rd pick) Jonathan Cooper G
2nd Rd (Trade down for additional 4th rd pick) Alex Okafor DE
4th Rd - Jordan Hill DT
4th Rd - Stepfan Taylor RB
5th Rd - Jakar Hamilton FS
6th Rd - Rick (Hamilton) Wagner T

Not bad, overall.

I'm a huge fan of drafting Cooper, but I would have a hard time trading up for a Guard. It is tempting, however.

Okafor should be a decent DE on the Strong Side in Kiffin's defense. He does not have the quickness to play the Weak-Side or either side in some defenses, but if Red Bryant can play the Strong Side in a Kiffin type defense, then Okafor should be able to do it also.

Hill and Taylor are good picks in the 4th.

I have no idea where Jakar Hamilton will be drafted. I wonder if you could get him in the 6th.

Rick Wagner is terrible. Maybe he should change his name to Hamilton. He does not have great quickness and his anchor strength is terrible.
