Just For Kicks...Your Worst Nightmare Mock

The rules are the players have to be slotted near enough where you take them to be feasible. My philosophy is going to be that needs are ignored. Therefore, here is my worst nightmare Mock. These players will be talented, but simply will not fill needs.


1. #27...Tim Tebow, QB, Florida, 6'3", 235. In my worst nightmares Jerry feels the need to have a dedicated "Razorback" QB and tries to get cute. Not only do I detest that formation, I think the only good that could ever come of drafting Tebow is if it is to work out final details of a trade to some other team that blesses us completely. Which never happens in nightmares.

2. #59...Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama, 6'4", 370. Using a 2nd round pick on a backup would just frost my cookies. We have a Pro Bowl caliber NT who wants to play that position, don't screw with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Supply whatever cliche' you need, just don't try and sell me on this player who could eat himself out of the league being a good choice here. Nuh uh, I don't buy it.

3. #91...Eric Norwood, OLB, South Carolina, 6'1", 245. If we skip ILB where we have some players who are aging and take an OLB where we have tremendous youth and depth I am going to hurt someone. If we do it and grab a guy who is only 6'1" it will just make that person's pain so much worse. Norwood can play, but I don't want anything to do with him.

4. #123...Anthony McCoy, TE, 6'5", 250. We don't trade Bennett and still draft a TE and make it one who had so so results plus was declared academically ineligible and I will personally kick Bill Parcells in the shins for starting this Draft a TE streak.

6. #187...O'Brien Scoffield, OLB, Wisconsin, 6'2", 240. If one too short OLB would send me over the edge, imagine two. Especially if we completely ignore KR and OL to do it for a guy who is talented but clearly hurting and may not even play in 2010.

7. #219...Josh Aruco, K, Arkansas State, 5'9", 210. I realize everyone wants to Draft a Kicker except me because I hate the sawed off twerps. How about a sawed off fat one who has a maximum range of about 45 yards? Oh yeah, I would go postal.


Can you make me scream in terror worse than I just made you do it?

can't imagine it being much worse than that.

I'd say put a TE in the second round instead of Cody and I'd go berserk

NT Cody will be a good player. He will lose 30-40 lbs and be a solid NT.

I wouldn't mind getting him in the 2nd at all.

And Cody would make Rat more effective. Rat is a good NT but an even better 3-4 DE.

Sooner or later this idea is going to die because it is nonsense. I look forward to that day.

You need to also consider an injury to Rat and what your plan would be.

If anything happens to Rat, Cody is better than Junior Siavii.

I think the whole what if there is an injury crap is so nonsensical that I wonder why people even bother with it.

No, they really need to take into account how unstoppable our D would be.

We could run out a variety of D formations that would confuse the bejeezus out of offenses.

Drafting Mt. Cody doesn't mean Ratliff has to move. It also doesn't mean that Mt. Cody will do nothing but ride the pine. He'll probably receive about 30% of the defensive snaps.

Yeah, only idiots have backup plans.:banghead:

I mean, a player getting injured in the NFL. Think it may happen on rare occasion?

I guess we'll just cross that bridge when we get there nonsense is better than actually having a plan in place.

And if he gets injured, oh well, there is always the practice squad players and UPS workers.

I really don't get the Cody hate. The guy is a beast and would really add solid depth at NT.

We wouldn't lose much with Cody in for Ratliff.

Plus if Ratliff goes down we're pretty much ****ed. With Cody, the pass rush goes down but the run D wouldn't lose a beat. It actually would be better.

Exactly. Give Cody 15 snaps a game. Allowing Rat to stay fresh.

Not really sure on how that is an awful pick. It's actually a smart one.

You can be twisted at times, Hostile.

Though I too am not sure Mt Cody will be a disaster....the rest is just plain horrifying.

I knew the Cody pick would raise eyebrows, but as I said, spending a 2nd on a clear backup is dumb. But here came the what if there's an injury crowd.
