DMN: Rick Gosselin's 2nd Mock Draft

[txlonghorn14]

i'll take that and run with it. we could use a DE. helluva lot better than a WR.

Find a pre-combine mock draft from last year that had Ware going as early as we took him. I could be wrong, but his situation was very similiar to Lawson's.

You are VERY correct. However, with the NC State players and the ACC conference as a whole, Lawson had been seen by a gazillion scouts prior to the combine and nobody had him as a first round pick. Mel Kiper had Ware as a borderline first rounder during the college football season. Yes Ware climbed the boards, but that could be more a matter of not being fully scouted at little bitty Troy.

Lawson wasn't considered a first rounder till after his workouts. Hell, there's still some that think he won't/shouldn't be a first rounder.

He thinks we pass on Justice?

I don't blame him, we haven't taken an Olineman in the 1st since 1983, and Jerry said no Olineman in the 1st this year

Dunnn dun dun dun

Dunnn dun dun dun DUNNNNN!!!

That means we'll be drafting Justice if he's available.

I'm for it

Same here.


Right now I have 4 players I'd be happy with at the 18 spot. Justice, Carpenter, Wimbley, and Lawson. Anyone else at that spot (unless it's an unexpected faller) would probably p*** me off.

I'm glad the likelihood of that happening is 1 in a million

 

[Rack]

Yeah I hate that so many people think Holmes and Jackson are worth the 18th pick just cuz they happen to be the best WR's in THIS draft. They might be, but that doesn't mean they're worthy of top 20 picks. I wouldn't draft either of them in the first round.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

there's a reason this class of WRs is a disgrace

I want one of 3 things with the round one pick: a player that rushes the passer, a player that prevents the rush from getting to my passer or a falling talent well above the level of our pick.

That said I'd be all-in for Justice. And I wouldn't necessarily shy away from going OL again in round 2 or 3.

Lawson wouldn't bother me. I think all NC St. players are helped by the perception the coaching staff there isn't highly regarded (at least I've heard mention of that). The players' talents aren't assumed to be shown completely as the staff doesn't develop them technically as well as other top programs. Texas had the same knock against them until they hauled off and won a title so it may just be a poor perception.

So in conclusion: OL, pass rusher or catalytic faller. I'm not too complex.

I guess I fall in this category myself. I just want them to take the value at the position of need. No reaching.

Dallas can't pass on Justice if he's there at #18. the problem is - he won't be. i don't buy all this "OLB at #18" talk. not for a second.

Dallas will address their weakest unit early. the offensive line.

i smell trade-down.
