Fredd's the Day Before Tomorrow Mock

[Fredd]

OK, it is time to put up or shut up. Here is who I can see falling to Dallas; I tried to stay close to where I have guys placed on my big Board. Here goes:

1st (#22-after trade with Philly and we get their 3rd): Anthony Barr, LB, UCLA
-yes, I believe he is still there; if not, I can see Shazier being the pick

2nd (#47): Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada
-this might be a smidgeon early, but he has talent and can play OG this year and OT next year

3rd (#78): Chris Smith, DE, Arkansas
-a terrific motor (my biggest pet cat) and would continually apply pressure

3rd (#86, from Philly): Trai Turner, OG, LSU
-bid dude that along with Bitonio, solidifies the line for the next decade along with Ty and Fred

4th (#119): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers
-6' 5", 220 lbs of WR; watch the offense go in 2015

5th (#158): Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma
-not sure he will be there as he could go earlier, but would be great to grab him as an injury guy (1st round grade before injury)
alternate: Prince Shembo, LB, Notre Dame

7th (#229): Zack Kerr, DT, Delaware

7th (#231): Cassius Marsh, DE, UCLA

7th (#239): James Wilder, RB, Florida State

7th (comp): Boseko Lokumbo, OLB, Oregon

7th (comp): Ken Bishop, DT, N.Illinois

7th (comp): George Atkinson, RB, Notre Dame
-primarily as a kick returner

I could live with this

If this were to happen i'd be happy
I don't think the top pick is possible.

It would be a great draft if things fell that way.

Early on Bitonio? He's unlikely to last until 47 according to most.

I also think the Eagles would actually take Barr in that scenario and if not the Ravens or Cardinals would. We would be crazy to trade down with him on the board.

Looks awesome to me!

Bitonio is an enigma for me....All I keep seeing is this guy tossing people to the ground like dolls in highlights...yet @ the Sr Bowl and Combine the guy looked like a complete stiff. So I don't know what to think. I'm getting this Travis Frederick feel...that he is gonna go pretty early....earlier than most think. But is he worth it?

Very good, Fredd.

I think so. He's rising because of quality of his play. I think he's a quality player, late first rounder. Like the Pats did a few years back with that one guard, name escapes me.

The thing about Bitonio is that I have seen him in the 3rd round and I have seen him near the top of round 2...I think his status depends on how all of the other OTs fall (and where)...but, I think he is a late 2nd round talent so at our pick, I think he is a little early (in theory)...I would be REALLY happy if we got him...and, while Philly could take barr, I keep hearing that they are in love with beckham...I live in eagles/giants territory and when I talk to eagles fans, they talk about beckham...it would be hard to pass on him @ #16, but if your goal as a FO is to improve the team long-term, you have to consider moves like that
