Ok so I did 1 final trade back mock assuming that both Barr and Donald were gone, however I believe if either are available the pick will almost certainly be them. So given that Barr seems to have a much better chance to make it to 16 here goes how I think it will play out...

#16- Anthony Barr DE UCLA- No doubt raw, but if you were going to create a WDE to develop into the next great pass rusher Barr would be a good spot to start. 6'3 255 with the frame to add another 5-10 lbs of good nfl weight with no problems. Freakish quickness off the snap with the flexibility to bend and dip around the OT. Give him a year to keep adding weight and learn better techniques and he could be a really scary pass rusher.

#47- LaMarcus Joyner CB/FS- Undersized but is one of the most aggressive and tenacious defenders in this draft. Plays with absolutely no fear. His versatility is what might be his best feature though as he started 27 straight games at S before being moved to CB his senior year. Bottom line, find this kid a spot in your secondary and he is going to make plays.

#78- Trai Turner OG LSU- Only 20 years old but this kid is already a physical beast. Great strength to anchor and the type of guy you want to run behind. Also has really good feet and athleticism for a guy his size with evidence by his sub 5 40. Could easily push Berny for day 1 starter, but either way should develop into a very good starter shortly down the line.

#119- George Uko DT USC- Uko has all the tools to be a very good 3 tech in the Tampa 2. 6'3 285 with long arms and very good quickness and overall athleticism. Needs to get a little bigger and a little stronger to be an every down DT but can shoot gaps and be disruptive on passing plays right away. High ceiling and the connection to Monte is obvious.

#158- Josh Huff WR Oregon- This pick could be 1 of about a dozen WR's, really hard to predict who will fall and who won't. I choose Huff because he reminds be of Miles. Not overly big but has a strong and stocky frame where he can play inside or out. Former RB who's best attribute is his ability to run after the catch. Could prove to be a big play guy down the line.

**Trade #229 and #238 for a mid 6th round pick**
Ken Bishop DT Northern Illinois) I'm sure everyone is complaining about the lack of d line so far so here's another DT for the 1 tech rotation. Bishop is worth trading up for because he's 305 lbs, can bench 225 31 times, and has the sudden explosion to put any o lineman on their heels. If we drafted him he could work his way into a surprising amount of PT over guys like McClain and Hayden.

#231- Derrell Johnson LB/Pass rusher East Carolina- 6'2 255, ran a 4.61 at his pro day, and also put up 23 reps. 24 TFL and 13.5 sacks the past 2 years. Could develop into a nickel pass rusher, or just a good ST player.

Comp Picks
Marquis Flowers LB Arizona- former S convert with good athleticism. Holloman 2.0?
Chris Whaley DT Texas- Former RB convert with good athleticism. Melton 2.0? Torn ACL so pure redshirt player
Stephen Morris QB The U- Ehh I never thought he was that bad, might be able to stash him on the PS and see what happens.

I like Joyner in the 3rd, but not the 2nd. I think we can get a solid DE in 2nd and go into the season with good depth and rotation. We have enough corners as is and they seem pretty set at safety even with the inexperience.

Yeah, 2nd round is way too high for Joyner.

For what it's worth....CBS has Joyner at #51 overall, drafttek #48, walterfootball #51, espn #44 and 84 grade.....

I think you guys are undetvaluing Joyner. No way he makes it to the 3rd

I doubt Joyner is around in the 3rd. But I agree Dallas may have more pressing needs. I think Joyner will be a REALLY good nickel and can play some safety, too. Real versitle guy that will lay the wood for his size.

Note, he will get caught out of position occasionally, which whoever drafts him will need to fix quickly if he's playing some safety.
