March 01 Mock

[xwalker]

Dallas has 14, 45, 82, 113, 114, 175, and 206 prior to the supplemental picks.

Senerio: DeCastro is off the board before #14.

I make 3 trades:
Trade #14 for #23 and #58.
Trade #45 for #58 and #90.
Trade #84 for #158 and #190.

Pick #23 (1-23): Cordy Glenn
Should start day one. Similiar to Carl Nicks, IMO. Could play RT in a pinch.

Pick #56 (2-24): Shea McClellin
Should be the ideal 3-4 SOLB at 6-3, 260 with better athleticism than Spencer.
High motor player. Although listed as DE, also lined up as ILB and has
experience in coverage.

Pick #58 (2-26): Bruce Irvin
Super Athletic passrusher. Athleticism should allow him to develop as a coverage player. Considered undersized at 6-3, 245. Would play SOLB on passing downs and backup WOLB. Could get some reps at ILB also.

Pick #90 (3-26): Trumaine Johnson
If Harrison Smith is available here, he would be the pick.
Johnson could play CB or FS. Good size at 6-2, 204 with decent speed and long arms.

Pick #91 (3-27): Josh Robinson
Super athlete, not just a straight line speedster. Excellent ball skills.
Decent size at 5-10, 199. Played mostly zone but has enough size and more
than enough athleticism to play man.

Pick #113 (4-17): Philip Blake
Underrated center with good size at 6-3, 311. Better than expected athleticism. Although he only benched 22 reps, he appears powerful in games and appears to have "heavy hands".

Pick #144 (5-16): Akiem Hicks
Big at 6-5, 318 with good athleticism and very long 35-1/8" arms. Attended college in Canada which pushed him down to the 5th round.

Pick #158 (5-30): Chris Rainey
Speedster with some wiggle. Excellent punt returner. Listed as RB in college, but would be slot WR in the NFL.

Pick #175 (6-15): Evan Rodriguez
He is listed as TE, but at 6-1, 239, he would be a FB/H-back/TE. Very good receiver and probably as good of blocker as some of the tall skinny TEs that will get drafted much higher. If he can be the 3rd TE, then the team can keep him and a FB on the active roster.

Pick #190 (6-30): Miles Burris
This guy plays all out all of the time. Would be 3-4 ILB. Good size at 6-2, 246. Didn't run at the combine, but was excellent in the bench (31), vert(37.5), and broad (10-1). Arm length is good for his size at 31-7/8".

Pick #206 (7-15): B.J Coleman
Good size at 6-3, 233 with 10-3/8" hands.


UDFA(s):

Sammy Brown OLB
Plays OLB in a college 3-4 defense. Interesting physical abilities but needs some time/coaching.

Kentrell Lockett OLB
Super wingspan of 84". Good 1st step. Would be an OLB in the 3-4. Needs some time to develop.

Delano Johnson OLB/ILB
Intense. Plays with bad intentions. Good in the box and in the open field. Good size at 6-4, 267 with 34" arms. Played 4-3 OLB in college. Projects to 3-4 OLB or possibly 3-4 ILB.

Chigbo Anunoby DE/DT
Big at 6-4, 324. Has decent quickness.

Charles Deas DE/DT
Big at 6-3, 316 with 34-1/2" arms. Good quickness with some passrush ability.

 

[Gaede]

Oooooooooh gimme gimme gimme.

Love it. Doubling up on OLB and CB is awesome, considering how weak we are there. I love Burris and Rodriguez as I've said before...

I am a little concerned that mocks lately feature the same people (ie, Blake, Hicks), but the rest of the guys, strangely enough, are rarely seen in mocks on this board. Great job!

 

[johnnyd]

Great job ... Glenn is a very nice pick and really want us to get Shea McClellin

 

[visionary]

i like it

put this together with

Wells (OC)
Carr (CB)
Soliai (NT)

and i think we might be good to go

Great mock...I would be pleased if they could pull that off....though I have my doubts. Combined with Visionary's FA's that team could win a lot of football games.

 

[SDogo]

Not a damn thing there to complain about.

 

[Bigdog]

I'll take it. Well done.

 

[cowboy_ron]

You traded for #58 twice

 

[realtick]

A lot of good names there. I'd pass on Josh Robinson for a guy like Dwight Bentley though.

lol, that speed is awfully tastey although. Punt and kick returns?

Fun/slobery fun read...

 

[xwalker]

You traded for #58 twice

Trade #14 for #23 and #58 should have been Trade #14 for #23 and #56.

I had it as #56 in the write-up but typed it incorrectly in the trade listing.

 

[Future]

I like all but McLellin in the 2nd. I woulnd't touch him there.

 

[BAT]

Universally well received and reasonable. I love the draft but I really love the UFA acquisitions.

Include Albion CB Chris Greenwood (6'1 200 4.3) and it would be perferct.

 

[xwalker]

Thanks for the feedback everybody!

Bat - I found some footage of Chris Greenwood. Good call. Looks like a good developmental CB.

I forgot some other possible UDFA(s):

Desmond Marrow CB Toledo, 6-3, 210
Big, fluid, physical with long arms. I see him as a possible FS.

Cliff Harris CB Oregon, 5-11, 175
Knucklehead and somehow only ran 4.59 forty; however, "video don't lie", this guy is a playmaker and excellent punt returner. I would say "film don't lie", but then an internet troll would pop up to tell me that what I'm watching is not game film. lol.

Omar Bolden CB Arizone State, 5-11, 202
Missed all of 2011 season with injury. Impressive 25 reps on the bench and good arm length at 31-1/2".

From BAT:
Chris Greenwood CB, 6-1, 196
Good size with good arm length at 31-1/4". Projected 4.3 forty. FYI - It appears Albion is somewhere in Michigan.

Harris has so much working against him; marginal athlete for the position; small framed guy; checkered background; horrendously poor technique; et cetera.

I agree with everything you said except the marginal athlete part. That's why I didn't even spend a 7th on him.

He had good agility numbers and broad/vert numbers. He just does not look as slow as a 4.59 forty guy in game footage. I think he might be like Dez and didn't really train to optimize his forty time. We'll see if he does any better at his pro-day if he has one.

If anything is going to give the guy a clue, it will be going from a projected 1st round pick as of this time last year, to a UDFA.

Ok, I'm way overthinking all of this for a UDFA.

You're right, he had good metrics for the other tests. "Marginal athlete" was bit harsh. Although, a correction should be made, he ran a 4.68, not 4.59 in the forty.

I got the 4.59 from walter-football, he uses the "unofficial" forty times and claims it is more accurate. There is no possible way he gets drafted with either of these times. A sub 200 pound CB almost has to run sub 4.5 forty.

He is probably one of those guys that has to be in a supervised workout program. He probably has not worked out since the got cut from the team mid-season.

You've convinced me that he is definitely UDFA because I had some lingering thought about taking him in the 7th.
