My Walter football re-mock

[ghst187]

So I wasn't a huge fan of the latest Walter football mock (although it wasn't bad) (www.BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1) for us I decided to do my own taking as gospel that players go in the slots that Walter has them mocked. My mock nixes Walter's pick (in most cases) and selects someone that is picked after where we picked for the remote resemblance of reality.

Walter Mock:
1) G/C Jonathan Cooper NC
2) DT Bennie Logan LSU
3) S Eric Reid LSU
4) RB Andre Ellington Clemson
5) LB Sean Porter Texas A&M

My Remock:
1) G/C Jonathan Cooper NC: Okay so I liked this pick
2) Trade down to late 2nd: take S DJ Swearinger South Carolina + add extra 3rd round pick
3a) G/C Barrett Jones Alabama (ya I know that's two G/C's)
3b) WR Ryan Swope Texas A&M (I think this guy will be a good pro and allow us to ditch the oft-injured Austin, maybe trade)
4) RB Andre Ellington Clemson (ok so I liked Walter's pick okay)/RB Gillisee or perhaps a flyer on Marcus Lattimore (I think he'll be back and he was probably a top 15 pick if not for the injury)
5) Trade down in the 5th, add 6th round pick, pick TE Michael Williams Alabama for our blocking TE

Ok so I now realize its a SEC-heavy draft for us and does nothing to help the DL or LB corps unless we use the 6 rounders there and hope for another Ratliff-like lightning strike. However, I think I picked the best players that are most likely to become starters and/or invaluable contributors as well as acquire a few extra players (which hopefully we'll have enough $$ to sign ha). I think this draft would give us a dominant OL for the first time plus a good, second blocking TE and dangerous back up RB that could start if Demarcus gets hurt. I envision Swope replacing Austin while allowing Harris to continue progress as the slot. DL would be nice but just didn't make sense based on where we were picking and who was available, sticking as closely as possible to BPA but considering also needs.
Well, tell me what you think.

Love the idea of coming up with a forum game where everyone must pick withing the same guidelines. Maybe someone can start thread that sets up a guidline--maybe if Walter's draft--and asks anyone who wants to come up with a mock under those limits.

But have have to say, I like Walter's mock better than yours...though I'm not crazy about it :

My take:

1) Cooper
2) Hankins
3) Rambo
4) Jason, what RB do you like?
5) CowboysZone site pick
6) Jerry, say a name

1- Jonathan Cooper, G/C
2- Terron Armstead, OT
3- Eric Reid, S
4- Brian Schwenke, C
5- Akeem Spence, DT
6, Best RB available


Per Walter guidelines, here's my picks. Yes, I'm one of those guys. Would absolutely LOVE 3/4 top picks O-line, even though we have other holes to fill as well. So sue me, lol.

I think Walter is a pretty good one to go by and he updates it at least once per week, more as the draft gets closer.

I would love this draft.

I'd make one change though because I'm not terribly high on Reid. In no particular order: I'd prefer P. Thomas, S. Thomas (the guy is really intriguing), or Rambo at S.
