I should also mention, I did not want to do trades because I was too lazy.

1 CHIEFS Joeckel, Luke

2 JAGUARS Smith, Geno
-New Uniforms, New QB, need something to wake up that black hole.

3 RAIDERS Floyd, Sharrif
-Floyd or Star here

4 EAGLES Jordan, Dion
-Kelly gets his Oregon boy

5 LIONS Ansah, Ezekiel
-Lions opt to go for pressure to help the secondary

6 BROWNS Milliner, Dee
-Haden/Milliner combo looks nice

7 CARDINALS Fisher, Eric
-Drops to AZ

8 BILLS Barkley, Matt
-Desperate for QB

9 JETS Mingo, Barkevious
-Need an OLB

10 TITANS Lotulelei, Star
-Star falls, Titans jump

11 CHARGERS Johnson, Lane
-Rivers is in Romo's situation except he's a sitting duck who forgot how to move

12 DOLPHINS Richardson, Sheldon
-Milliner gone, beef up the DL, opt to wait to replace Long

13 JETS Austin, Tavon
-Dirty Sanchez needs a homie

14 PANTHERS Vaccaro, Kenny
-They seem to need every position we do; opt to go safety over guard, Dolphins stole Richardson

15 SAINTS Jones, Jarvis
-That D needs repairing, Ryan gets him an OLB.

16 RAMS Patterson, Cordarrelle
-Sammy and Sanchez have no friends

17 STEELERS Werner, Bjoern
-Steelers turn him into 3-4 OLB

18 COWBOYS Warmack, Chance
-Whoop!

19 GIANTS Rhodes, Xavier
-Help out that secondary that looked like Cowboys before Carr/Mo

20 BEARS Cooper, Jonathan
-Like Rivers he has Romo line but can't run like Romo.

21 BENGALS Eifert, Tyler
-Surprise pick, Bengals aerial threat of Green, Gresham, Eifert can challenge the best of em.

22 RAMS Elam, Matt
-Jenkins/Elam Florida secondary

23 VIKINGS Ogletree, Alec
-BPA improves the D

24 COLTS Fluker, DJ
-Like Romo, he needs help and can kind of move

25 VIKINGS Trufant, Desmond
-Secondary needs some help, thought about WR but Jennings and AP will allow for a later round to be used on that.

26 PACKERS Williams, Sylvester
-Why not?

27 TEXANS Allen, Keenan
-Helps an aging Andre out and makes their offense more dangerous

28 BRONCOS Jones, Datone
-No Dumervill, need somebody (I may be off on this one with 4-3 guy)

29 PATRIOTS Moore, Damontre
-BPA on the board helps out the D; although they need a corner. Could easily go Taylor or Banks; maybe even WR for fun.

30 FALCONS Carradine, Cornellius
-Need to get younger at DE

31 49ERS Cyprien, Jonathan
-No Gholston, no problem

32 RAVENS Te'o, Manti
-Ray who?

You really think Geno goes #2? Barkley #8? Interesting...

I still think Fisher doesn't get past philly

I like Geno at 2, Jacksonville NEEDS a legit QB prospect and he has potential, and has fallen off a bit too much in the media. Geno is a pocket passer who can move. I don't see him falling outside the top 10 like some mocks. I'm not positive about Barkley but I've read the Bills like him and somebody always reaches. Hopefully the Browns learned their lesson and stay away from QB for a year.

With the Fisher/Philly scenario I just liked the idea of Kelly coming in and drafting Oregon's best player (and it's not a reach). Philly never has good LB's and maybe that changes.

 

[Fredd]

It's a good thought, but I could see Jax dropping down a few and still getting smith...especially if someone wanted to move up for fisher or Floyd (examples)

Ya definitely a possibility. When I looked into doing a couple trades on this mock I couldn't find one I really liked so decided to just do no trades. It seems like almost every team in the top 10 is looking to trade down; so I would expect the returns on trading down to be quite low this year.

DIRTY SANCHEZ ???

 

[supercowboy8]

I would prefer cooper over Warmack

I would prefer cooper over Warmack

I would be ecstatic with either one. I just like the raw power of Cooper on the inside.

 

[TheSport78]

No chance of this happening.

I agree, Cooper is more of an athlete, and Warmack is a warrior. You want both of them on your side.

Whoops, I meant raw power of Warmack, that's why I chose him. Cooper is the athlete.

 

[Szczepanik]

I think Nassib is the pick at Buffalo, not Mr. Bark.

The connections to Nassib from buffalo point to him being the QB there.

I almost went with Nassib but just took Barkley based on the board.

I really don't think Geno slips past the Jags. Either somebody hops them in a trade up scenario or he goes #2. I understand he isn't Luck, but this guy completed over 70% of his passes and threw 46 TD's to 6 Interceptions (518 attempts) last season. He never had more than 7 interceptions in a season. He is a pure pocket passer with athleticism needed to escape pressure.

When did his stock fall so much that teams in desperate need of the most important position wouldn't give this guy a shot? With the rookie wage scale there is no reason he should fall.
