Mock with trade

[Bob Sacamano]

mock w/o trade, just because a team wants to trade up or down, doesn't mean it will happen, as you need two teams to tango

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd round, #51: Ohio State OLB Marcus Freeman - 6'1" 239

reminds me of Michael Boley: fast, slick athlete with fastest times of 4.51 40, 1.55 10-yard, 4.08 short-shuttle, 6.66 3-cone, also put up 30 reps on the bench, and had a 37" vertical and 9'05" long-jump, in addition to the measurables he's a smart player with good speed and awareness in coverage, excellent special team's player, plays through pain

3rd round (from Cleveland), #69: Virginia Tech CB Victor Harris

4th round (from Detroit), #101: Alabama C Antoine Caldwell

4th round, #117: Rice WR Jarrett Dillard

5th round, #156: Georgia Tech DT Vance Walker

5th round (from Tennessee), #166: TCU ILB Jason Phillips

5th round (Compensatory), #172: Stillman DT Sammie Lee Hill

6th round (from Miami), #197: Mississippi State SS Keith Fitzhugh

6th round (Compensatory), #208: Illinois DE Derek Walker

7th round (from Detroit), #210: Fresno State TE Bear Pascoe

7th round, #227: Utah CB Brice McCain

I actually like this one a bit better but, I'm curious, is there an underlying logic or strategy to your drafts, which vary significantly, or are your selections dictated purely by opportunity and the rising/falling stock of players?

my strategy is very simple, rating (courtesy of NFLDS), BPA and then need are considered

You say Boley... I say interesting.

again using PFT's trade-value chart, http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/15/new-draft-trade-chart/ we trade to Oakland, picks #51, #101, and #197, and move up to pick #40

2nd round, #40(v/Oakland): Northern Illinois DE Larry English - 6'2, 255

Explosive edge-rusher (36" vertical) takes over Greg Ellis' role as 3rd down pass-rushing threat, Wade Phillips re-introduced the 46 last year, and this year he can introduce the 3-3-5 to the Pro game

3rd round (v/Cleveland), #69: Florida WR Louis Murphy - 6'3" 203

Terrell Owen's clone, minus the hyper-active attitude, one of the draft's best deep threats, running a 4.32 40, along with a 1.48 10-yard dash at the Combine, and a 6.96 3-cone at his Pro Day, excels turning up field after he secures the football, flashes good hands

4th round, #117: Pittsburgh ILB Scott McKillop - 6'1" 244

Heady inside LB who moves through blocks well, very capable player in coverage who uses a mix of great instincts and athletic ability (4.39 short-shuttle, 7.00 3-cone), explosive athlete (1.59 10-yard, 35.5" vertical, 9'11" broad-jump) and a secure tackler, 2-time All-American, and Big-East player of the year in '08, eventual replacement for Keith Brooking and nickel LB as a rookie

5th round, #156: Furman OT Joel Bell - 6'7" 315

Small-school prospect with excellent height, long arms, strength, athleticism (4.57 short-shuttle), and explosion (1.69 10-yard, 30" vertical, 9'01" broad-jump), swing-tackle that is more suited to play LT than Pat McQuistan, immediately begins grooming to take over for Flozell Adams

5th round (v/Tennessee), #166: Cincinnati CB DeAngelo Smith - 5'11" 194

Versatile defender, has played CB, FS and returned kicks, shared the National lead in INTs in '07 (8), and followed it up with a solid Senior season, snaring 2 INTs and breaking up 10 passes, physical player who fits the mold of the "star" player

5th round (Compensatory), #172: Stillman DT Sammie Lee Hill - 6'4, 329

Naturally strong player with good explosion (1.72 10-yard, 28" vertical, 9'01" broad-jump) and 1st step quickness, athletic, started at DE as a Senior, can play all, 3 line positions in the 3-4

6th round (Compensatory), #208: Maryland C Edwin Williams - 6'2" 308

High-effort, highly intelligent C with good athleticism, leader on the field, possesses a strong-hand punch, comfortable snapping out of the shot-gun

7th round (v/Detroit), #210: BYU OG Rey Feinga - 6'4" 329

Huge, nimble OG able to move well laterally, 4-year starter, plays with a nastiness, strong hand-punch

7th round, #227: Utah CB Brice McCain - 5'9" 185

Not invited to the Combine, Brice posted a 4.33 40, 1.47 10-yard, 10'03" broad-jump and most impressively of all, a 3.99 20-yard shuttle at his Pro Day, comfortable playing in a man-cover scheme, despite not being thrown at much, he managed to break up 21 passes, and only picking off 3 passes his career, still managed to be voted 1st-team, All-MWC as a Senior

Fine

Orgasmic.

Fine

This is mock draft 3.0 addition
2 - Ron Brace - BC/NT - 6'3 333lbs. If he is gone - Patrick Chung -ORE/S - 5 11 3/4 210.
3 - Tyrone Mckenzie - S.FL/OLB - 6'1 243lbs - Put him on the inside and he has good cover skills,ie, poss 3rd down option.
3 - I would acquire this pick by trading a 4th and 5th rounder to get another late in the third. With this pick i pick Kevin Ellison - USC/S - 6'2 225 lbs.
4 - Zach Follett -CAL/OLB - 6'2 240lbs, Put him on inside also, manly because he is better in a box then in space, also ST.
5 - Demetrius Byrd - LSU/WR - 6'0 200lbs 4.4 speed
5 - Ray Feing - BYU/OG - 6'4 330.
6 - Khalif Mitchell - E.CAR/DT,DE - 6'5 317 LBS ,He is a project possibly catch lightning in a botle?
6 - Chris Pressley -WIS/FB - 6'1 259lbs. He is a punishing blocker, but not a great pass catcher. Someone who will excell at his role? Not A FAN OF D.ANDERSON.
7 - Thomas Morestead - SMU/P - 6'4 225LBS, With the uncertainty of whether McBRIAR comes back at 100%?
7 - Mike Goodson - T.A&M/RB - 6'0 212, FAST GUY. SPECIAL TEAMS?
I still pick Ellison because if we get Brace then we can have our saftey too. However, if we get Chung we can sure up that position for the future with these two, because it has been a problem position for three years? Mckenzie,Folett gives us what we need, insurance if Brookins doesn't hold up,and Mckenzie takes Burnett's 3rd down job. Byrd is our deep threat,as i am not comfortable going to early for Wr. It is time to see what we have with the young guys here? D.Ander., enough said, Pressley is a punishing blocker. Mitchell or Goodson is a wait and see,not really important,while Morestead is our insurance? What do you think?
