O.K. I think this will be my last mock now that F/A has calmed down and I got the guys I like.
My 1st pick we might need to move up a tad, but he could fall to us since Guards usually fall inthe draft, but he would be my wish pick with our top pick.
Also I just heard the uncapped year next year will force every player DRAFTED whether he makes the team or not salaries to count against THIS YEARS CAP, meaning anyone we draft that doens't make our roster will count on our cap, so I could see us trying to trade up and get ird of our late round picks for picks in next years draft since I can't see the later round picks making our team anyway.
So here goes, with my top pick I'm praying falls to us for this particular mock and I added in a 5th and 6th comp picks for reeves and Julius!
2nd Round: O.G. Duke Robinson
Duke Robinson, Oklahoma
Height: 6-5. Weight: 329.
Projected 40 Time: 5.28.
Combine 40 Time: 5.27.
Pro Day 40 Time: DNP.
Benchx225: 20. Arm: 34 3/4.
Projected Round (2009): 1-2.
1/8/09: Easily an AP All-America first-teamer, Duke Robinson was a monstrous force on a line that was part of one of the greatest offenses in history.
11/2/08: Still the elite guard in this class by a wide distance. He could go in the top 15 if a team is desperate enough for a guard.
5/25/08: Duke Robinson has emerged as the consensus top 2009 guard. He nearly came out a year early, which is rare for a guard.
2007: Duke Robinson, who looks extremely fit for a 330-pound lineman, made a key block for Allen Patrick against Miami's stout defensive front.
__________________________________________________ ______________
3rd Round: N.T. Chris Baker
Chris Baker, Hampton
Height: 6-2. Weight: 326.
Projected 40 Time: 5.03.
Combine 40 Time: 5.02.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 35.5.
Projected Round (2009): 2-3.
2/24/09: How does a 326-pound tackle run a 5.02 and notch a 35.5-inch vertical?
1/10/09: Chris Baker has declared for the NFL Draft a year early. Baker, a transfer from Penn State, had 16.5 TFL and 8.5 sacks as a junior at Hampton. I actually like this choice - this defensive tackle class is weak once you get into the middle rounds.
__________________________________________________ _______________
4th Round: C.B. Mark Parson
Mark Parson, Ohio
Height: 5-10. Weight: 193.
Projected 40 Time: 4.38.
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.
12/13/08: Mark Parson's numbers weren't as impressive this year (two picks, five passes broken up) because opposing quarterbacks simply weren't throwing his way. Parson proved he could play with the "big boys" against Ohio State.
5/17/08: A seldom-beat man-to-man corner, Mark Parson is among the junior career leaders in pass breakups with 26 (only behind Mike Mickens and Alphonso Smith). He's a great leader and his ability to put up 18 reps of 225 pounds will catch someone's attention.
Go here for Mark Parson's highlight film.
2007: Mark Parson, who started the final 10 games of his sophomore campaign, will certainly turn some heads with his 40 time.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Round 4: W.R. Deon Butler
Deon Butler, Penn State
Height: 5-10. Weight: 182.
Projected 40 Time: 4.43.
Combine 40 Time: 4.38.
Vertical: 37. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.
2/23/09: I aways liked Deon Butler as an underrated receiver. Well, he's not underrated anymore; Deon Butler ran an unofficial 4.26 at the 2009 NFL Combine. He also had a 37-inch vertical. Scouts and GMs will focus on his game tapes and realize that he was Penn State's top wideout; not Derrick Williams.
1/4/09: Despite the presence of Derrick Williams, Deon Butler was the best receiver on Penn State's roster. The only reason he's so low on this list is his size. However, given his work ethic and skill set, he'll be hard to cut. Could be the next Troy Brown.
10/19/08: Deon Butler actually leads the team in receiving. He had eight grabs for 105 yards against Michigan.
5/22/08: Probably the most talented Nittany Lion receiver in this draft class. Unfortunately, Deon Butler's lacking size hurts his draft stock.
2007: Everyone always doubts Deon Butler because of his size, but Butler managed to lead the Nittany Lions in receiving last season with 48 catches and 637 yards. Butler actually had more success as a freshman (691 yards, nine touchdowns), but his production picked up at the end of the year, as Anthony Morelli matured. In fact, Butler had 11 catches for 216 yards in a 33-7 victory against Northwestern. Butler's size will restrict him to the third or fourth rounds, despite the fact that he has the tools of a first-rounder. Definitely a sleeper.

Round 5: O.T. Gerald Cadogan
Gerald Cadogan, Penn State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 309.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Combine 40 Time: 5.12.
Benchx225: 26. Arm: 35.
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.
2/22/09: Gerald Cadogan may have moved himself into mid-to-late round consideration; he ran a 5.12, benched 26 reps and his arms measured 35 inches - the third-longest of all the offensive tackles at the 2009 NFL Combine.
11/1/08: Gerald Cadogan struggled at Ohio State, but is otherwise having a solid season.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Round 5: C.B. Joe Burnett
Joe Burnett, Central Florida
Height: 5-9. Weight: 192.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: 4.51.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical: .
Projected Round: 4-5.
2/23/09: Joe Burnett measured two inches shorter than Central Florida listed him. That won't matter on kick returns.
12/13/08: An All-Conference USA first teamer and a member of an All-America Second Team, Joe Burnett enjoyed a great senior season. Burnett had 44 tackles, 11 passes broken up and 4.5 TFL. He also was superb on special teams, blocking a kick and taking a pair of kickoffs back for touchdowns.
5/17/08: Joe Burnett had six interceptions in 2007, giving him a total of 12 for his career.
2007: Joe Burnett has decided to stay for his senior year after declaring for the 2008 NFL Draft.
Burnett played a lot as a freshman, but was hampered by an ankle injury as a sophomore. Now in his junior year, Joe Burnett is making all the plays; he had a great game in a near upset against Texas.

Round 5: S.S./F.S. Courtney Greene
Courtney Greene, SS/FS, Rutgers
Height: 6-0. Weight: 212.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: 4.53.
Benchx225: . Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.
12/14/08: Despite somewhat struggling this season, Courtney Greene managed to qualify for the All-Big East First Team. Greene collected 83 tackles and two passes broken up.
5/19/08: Courtney Greene, who can play either safety position, had 91 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss.
2007: Led all freshmen in tackles a few years ago. Registered three interceptions in 2006. Definitely a big reason for Rutgers' resurgence.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Round 6: C./G./T. Dallas Reynolds
Dallas Reynolds, BYU
Height: 6-5. Weight: 328.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Pro Day 40 Time: 5.28.
Benchx225: 20.
Projected Round (2009): 7.
1/8/09: Voted to the All-Mountain West First Team, Dallas Reynolds was the leader of a unit that blocked for one of the top offenses in the nation.
5/24/08: In addition to having solid workout numbers, Dallas Reynolds can play four positions on the line. He's also reliable; Reynolds has 37 consecutive starts.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Rond 6: O.L.B. Brandon Swain
Brandon Swain, West Texas A&M
Height: 6-4. Weight: 256.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Projected Round (2009): 6-7.
5/7/08: Level of competition obviously has to be an issue, but Brandon Swain put up amazing numbers in 2007, including 14 sacks, 24.5 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles. A very intriguing prospect to say the least.

OFFENSE:
O.G. Duke Robinson
O.T. Gerald Cadogan
C./G./T. Dallas Reynolds
W.R. Deon Butler
This is just what we needed on offense for now: Depth all across the O-line, a future replacement for Kosier after this year, and a possible future replacement for Flo, and Reynolds versatility to play any position as well as backup center makes him very valuable and we can now get rid of Proctor which for the life of me can't figure out why we tendered him and why he's not working at McDonald's right now.
Plus we get a SPEED W.R. to stretch the defense, can be a guy like Terry Glenn or a Wes Welker type.
DEFENSE:
N.T. Chris Baker
O.L.B. Brandon Swain
C.B. Mark Parson
C.B. Joe Burnett
S.S./F.S. Courtney greene
We get our N.T. we desperately needed to backup Ratliff since we dno't currently have anyone worth a damn backing him up, Baker could also be good enough to take over at N.T. as the starter in 2010 with Ratliff taking over Spears spot at L.D.E. also.
Swain gives us an extra O.L.B. who can rush the passer.
Parson gives us a good 4thcorner to take over as 3rd corner in case of an injury to any of our top 3 corners, and I picked Burnett also to be our 5th c.B. which does 3 things, gives us aweosme C.B. depth 5 deep, gives us a great return man, and makes us more flexible with the idea of moving Scandrick to safety eventually, I ahd a hard time with that 5th round pick that I settled on another C.B., I didnt see any other player at that spot who I liked who I thought could make our roster.
And Courtney Greene is a versatille safety who can play both safety spots as well.
So, here's our 2010 53 man roster:
1. Q.B. Tony Romo
2. Q.B. John Kitna
3. R.B. Marion Barber
4. R.B. Felix Jones
5. R.B. Tashard Choice
6. T.E. Jason witten
7. T.E. Martellus Bennett
8. T.E. Rodney Hannah
9. W.R. Roy Williams
10. W.R. Patrick Crayton
11. W.R. Miles Auston
12. W.R Isaih Stanback
13. W.R. deon Butler
14. W.R. Sam Hurd
15. F.B. Deon Anderson
16. L.T. Flozell Adams
17. L.G. Kyle Kosier
18. C. Andre Gurode
19. R.G. Leonard Davis
20. R.T. Marc Columbo
21. O.T. Gerald Cadogan
22. O.G. Duke Robinson
23. C./G./T. Dallas Reynolds
24. G. Montrae Holland
25. T. Doug Free
26. T. Pat McQuistan
I can see us keeping 11 O-lineman cause if we plan on moving Robinson to starting L.g. for Kosier and cut Kosier, we would still have holland as the backup, and we could dro Flo next year and then have Free/McQuistan/Cadogan battle it out for starting L.T. next year as well.
27. L.D.E. Marcus Spears
28. N.T. Jay Ratliff
29. R.D.E. Igor Olshansky
30. N.T. Chris Baker
31. D.E. Jason Hatcher
32. D.E. Stephen Bowen
33. O.L.B Demarcus Ware
34. I.L.B. Keith Brooking
35. I.L.B. Bradie James
36. O.L.B. Anthony Spencer
37. I.L.B. Bobby Carpenter
38. I.L.B. Matt Stewart
39. O.L.B. Greg Ellis
40. O.L.b. Brandon Swain
41. C.B. Terence Newman
42. C.B. Mike Jenkins
43. C.B. Orlando Scandrick
44. C.B. Mark Parson
45. C.B. Joe Burnett
46. F.S. Ken Hamlin
47. S.S. Gerald Sensabaugh
48. S. Pat Watkins
49. S. Alan Ball
50. S. Courtney Greene
51. K. Matt Folk
52. P. Mat McBriar
53. L.S .L.P.Ladouceur
Other players who could replace one of the other guys in my 53 man roster.
L.B. Carlos Polk
L.B. Justin Rogers
D.B. Courtney Brown
D.B. Keith Davis?
Q.B. Brooks Bollinger?
D.E. Marcus Dixon
THOUGHTS on my draft????
With this draft, we can then go into 2010 with possibly only one need, I.L.b. and we coudl then trade up in round 1 and grab a true stud to plug in next to Ware to make our defense complete.
My 1st pick we might need to move up a tad, but he could fall to us since Guards usually fall inthe draft, but he would be my wish pick with our top pick.
Also I just heard the uncapped year next year will force every player DRAFTED whether he makes the team or not salaries to count against THIS YEARS CAP, meaning anyone we draft that doens't make our roster will count on our cap, so I could see us trying to trade up and get ird of our late round picks for picks in next years draft since I can't see the later round picks making our team anyway.
