Mock Draft Solving Many Of The Teams Needs.

[kirkjrk]

Feeling a strong need to get back into the early part of the second round I traded down to Cinn. at 21 and then swapped their 37th for our 47th. Trade our 18 & 47 for their 21 & 37. Hopefully they will partner with us on this.

With most, if not all, of the teams favorites selected earlier we then make the trade back. I then selected one of my favorites but not everyones.

1.(21) Kawaan Short-DT--Better overall stats than other DL player over the last two years.

2.(37) Jonathan Cyprien-S--Hopefully a day one starter. Good cover and hard tackler

3.(80) Brian Schwenke-C/OG--Plays either guard position and center. High upside.

4.(111) Chris Faulk-OT--Feel like this is good time for OT but could be one of several David Quessenberry, Reid Fragel, Brennan Williams.

5.(144) Dennis Johnson-RB--Runner, Receiver, Kick returner, Pass Protection, Special team player. I feel he is a sleeper pick and will be good value

6.(175) Jake Knott-Third LB--Great college stats

This Draft would address several of the Teams needs--OL,DL,S,RB,LB. Would still need Blocking TE and depth in some areas.

Your thoughts

Excellent draft except for Short's work-ethic issues.

Short would be a huge reach at #21 IMO.

I think the whole trade back scenario is unlikely. You have the Vikes and Rams with multiple 1sts in the middle and back of the 1st who would probably be easier to strike deals with. That said I like your draft. BTW Short said his"motor" issues were more conditioning issues and he will be better at 299.

Still not sold on Short as a first rounder. Cyprien comes from a small school and that worries me. Also would rather pick up someone who played FS in college.I like the rest. Good job.

Love the draft

I would pick cyprien first since short is more likely to be there with the next pick than him
