Mock It Up(1st timer)

[funkytown]

My 1st attempt at a mock draft this year. Not gonna trick it up with trades or pet cats dropping drastically.

RD 1. # 9- Tyron Smith OT USC
If the boys stay at 9, I think they take Smith. Could trade up for Peterson or down for Carimi. But at #9 they find excellent value at the position of greatest need. Supposedly bulked up to over 300 pounds, and is only 20 years old. Huge upside with this pick.


RD 2. #40- Aaron Williams CB Texas
Cornerback is a huge concern, and if they are unable to get Peterson and dont take Prince. Williams could be the guy. Recent reports that the Boys were heavily in attendance at his pro day. Ran 4.5 at the combine, but faster at the pro day. Could possibly see an OL taken here (Ijalana, Cannon) but cornerback is a pressing need. Would love if Danny Watkins fell this far.

RD 3. #71- Titus Young WR Boise St.
Not a huge need, but best player available. He could go earlier than this, but if he's on the board this should be the pick. The Boys have needed a quick slot receiver for a long time. This guy would look great in the slot with Dez and Miles on the outside. Drawn comparisons to Desean Jackson. Other possibilities could be NT Kenrick Ellis or S Quinton Carter

RD 4. #102- Lawrence Guy DE Arizona St.
Spears, Bowen, Hatcher are all free agents. Defensive end is a need position. Guy is 6'4" 305 lbs., perfect size for 3-4 DE. Good value in round 4, and fills a need.

RD 5. #143- John Moffit C/G Wisconsin
Love his versatility and demeanor on the field. Part of a dominate and well coached Wisconsin offensive line. Can play guard, or center. Great depth for the line, could start now if needed.

RD 6. #176- Deunta Williams S North Carolina
Slips due to his health concerns, and is a great value pick for the secondary. Would have went much higher if not for health factors. Competes with AOA or a free agent for the departed Alan Ball

RD 7. #220- Chris Nield DT W. Virginia
Big, mean, and nasty. Solid depth for the defensive line rotation. Can play nose tackle in the 3-4, and takes snaps on goaline and when Ratliff needs a breather.

RD 7. #251- Adrien Moten OLB Marlyand
Outside linebacker for the 3-4. 6'2" 230 lbs. 4.53 forty. One of the last few picks in the draft, gotta take a chance on someone. Could go anywhere with this pick.


Undrafted guys I would rush to sign, if allowed.

RB- they always slide, and some good ones go undrafted each year. Look for guys like John Clay, Allen Bradfore, Noel Nevine, Mario Fannin. They are all an upgrade over Lonya Miller

WR- Bring in competition for the 5/6 WR spot. Jeff Maehl( i wanted to draft him in the 7th)

S- Some good ones may go undrafted. Brian Lainhart, Colin Jones

TE- Shuylar Oordt- Always on the look out for a big bodied blocking tight end

QB- Jerrod Johnson or Tyrod Taylor. Bring in someone to compete with McGee. Could sit on the practice squad and learn.

Don't agree with some but well thought out.

Thanks for the comments..

I'll be honest, I dont have a problem with any of the picks.

Not a single one there that could not likely happen and you picked good football players.

I appreciate that. I looked at our needs first, and Put them in the order of importance. After that, its just deciding if you can get that need now or later in the draft.

Just went with my board on every pick.

I like it and would not mind that a bit. Only one problem that I see is Moffit will not last until the 5th.

I actually see Moffit as a 4th round guy myself... I've seen him ranked anywhere from #120 overall to somewhere in the #160's... But i have him around right around the end of the 4th/Top of the 5th.
