New Draft Tek Mock

[casmith07]

If Iupati is not there and Earl Thomas is gone (both most likely) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have Kyle Wilson at #27. I think he's got a Mike Jenkins type swagger about him.

Slide Newman to FS for a few years until you can groom or draft his replacement (Alan Ball? Draftee?) and have a Kyle Wilson/Mike Jenkins starting CB duo with Ball/Scandrick in on Nickel and Dime? :droolz:

Obviously a freak-show GM move by me, but hey...anything can happen!

bumping this because i love that draft tool.

I love Kyle Wilson, but I just can't see a CB in the first round. We need to get a CB, but I think mid-rounds is where we do it. I'd like to take more of a mid-round project who can give us some depth. Jenkins is a stud, Newman has a couple more years, and Scandrick has looked good. When Newman's gone, I'd be comfortable with Jenkins and Scandrick. We don't need to draft Newman's replacement now, he might already be on the roster.

I can envision us drafting a bigger, fast guy in the mid-rounds, one who could take over the LCB spot opposite Jenkins, when Newman moves on, allowing Scandrick to remain as our slot corner.

My updates needs score mock:

1) Charles Brown OT
2) Dexter McCluster Slot/KR
3) Major Wright FS
4) Erik Cook OC
6) Matt Copa OT
7) Jeff Owens NT

WHAT?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

WHAT?

He's almost 30. It makes sense.

Not here it doesn't.

We can't pay Newman's contract as a safety and we'd probably want a better tackler and bigger playmaker at FS anyways. He'd be the best cover FS in football to be sure but you'd lose other areas and be paying him as an elite CB to play FS.

Even besides all that the number of CBs who come out and reach 27 that can outperform Newman are few and far between. Jenkins stepped up but he took a year and a half to really get there.

Iz only Jokesting.

Tony Washington is Bruce Campbell without the 1st round pricetag. He is incredibly athletic for a lineman.

That isn't the "sexiest" draft in the world but it gives us 4 or 5 guys who would definitely improve our depth. Good mock.

This x 2.

Yeah I wasn't serious - Newman will be one of our staples at CB for at least 3 more years.
