McShay's Latest Mock (you will hate it)

[Risen Star]

Ha. They definitely pushed the draft back too far. What's next, clowney to the boys at 16.....

We should be watching the first round right now. Wishing we could run our fingers through Mel's hair.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

LOL...nope!

McShay used to be a head scout for Scouts Inc. for what its worth. Thats where ESPN got him.

Only one QB selected in the top 15 is disastrous for us.
We need at least 3-4 gone before our pick.
But I can see all the teams ahead of us waiting until the 2nd round to take a shot at a QB.

He still is.

The QB flap right now is what is hurting our position in the first round. If only one goes before Dallas' selection, we are going to have to take a lesser player and sacrifice value if we go for the needs defensively.

That is what is making this draft very hard to get a feel for--it is very difficult to see what teams are going to do because they are all doing the same thing. All of them, Houston (Fitzpatrick), Minnesota (Cassel), Oakland (Schaub), Tampa Bay (McCown) and Jacksonville (Henne) signed a backup to be their placeholder. But what does that suggest? Taking a developmental later on? It usually is not something you do when you plan on spending a top ten choice on a QB. Usually that QB is going to play right away.

I do anticipate a run on QBs at the bottom of the round as the teams that passed early will try to get back into the first to get that 5th year option, which is crucial for a developmental QB. That is why I do not expect any of the top QBs to drop out of the first and expect ones like Garappolo, Savage and possibly even Mettenberger to in the mix to be taken at the end of the round.

The way things look right now, I would love a trade down similar to what happened last year with the 49ers. Trade way down and see if there is the possibility of trading again, loading up multiple choices in the second or third and maybe pick up a first in 2015.

The second and third is where we can draft what we need. We need bodies everywhere. The difference between taking a Jernigan too high or worse a Kony Ealy versus a Kareem Martin, Attaochu, Crichton or Sutton is fairly minimal.

Yep. Basically worse case scenario.

Makes a lot of sense to me. We could target players like:

DeMarcus Lawrence
Scott Crichton
Jimmie Ward
Dominique Easley
Kareem Martin
Billy Turner
Will Sutton
Gabe Jackson
Paul Richardson
Lamarcus Joyner

If you look at the visit list, it almost looks like we are planning to do this. I would not have a problem with it. Chances are we are not getting a special player at our original choice. Since that is not the case, then add bodies and throw as many players into the mix as possible.

Jerry loves trading. I'm sure he has 1 or 2 guys he would love to have around pick 13-16. If not, trading down in the 1st round is a great option. The one wildcard is QB, but with Romo and his contract situation, QB in the 1st seems a bit much to me.

Roby may fall out of the 1st now with his recent arrest.
