New Mock Draft

[Manwiththeplan]

1.) Michael Brockers, DL, Louisiana State
IMO, the only thing he has in common with Marcus Spears and Tyson Jackson is they all went to LSU. Spears and Jackson lack the size needed to make up for their averge athleticism, while Brockers has the size to dominate. Both Spears and Jackson were 6'4 and had 33 or so inch arms, and Brockers 6'6 frame with 35 inch arms reminds me more of Richard Seymour. He didn't put up the athletic numbers that Seymour did, but that may have been due to him adding weight before the combine. All in all, I think Brockers has best player at his position potential and we we should take him if he's there.
2.) Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin
If he's there at 45 and we don't draft DeCastro, he should be the pick (not expecting Fleener to be there). Day 1 starter at either guard spot, despite the money committed to Livings and Bernadeau.
3.) Michael Egnew, TE, Missouri
If we're lucky, Ladarius Green will be here, but I doubt it. Egnew has the size and speed to get deep and while he's not Fleener, he likely can contribute very early on and possibly replace Witten in 4 or so years.
4a.) Phillip Blake, C, Baylor
Would love it if he was still available here. Could possibly start day 1, depending on who he cometes with (Costa or Bernadeau).
4b.) Leonard Johnson, CB, Iowa State
We would likely need to get lucky for him to be here, but he's had an up and down work out season. Should be a solid #4 CB as well as special teams player early on.
5.) Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
probably a 2nd round player if not for the injury. Projects very well into a slot WR roll, can return kicks and punts. Not sure how much he can contribute next year, likr Bruce Carter will likely start off on PuP list.
6.) Nicholas Jean-Baptise, NT, Baylor
Solid NT prospect, should push Brent off roster
7.) Case Keenum, QB, Houston
may push Mcgee off roster

Love this mock.Out of your first four picks I see three starters and possibly a fourth with Broyles in the fifth. Only problem is I don't see him lasting that long.

 

[JBS]

I LOVE this mock too!

I wish people would stop mocking Blake to us.. It's so annoying..he's not that good

 

[DeaconBlues]

Excellent mock, but I could easily see none of the first five picks available at those slots.

So if Brocker has the size and athleticism why didn't he have the production at LSU?

I don't want to make excuses for him, because in the end he decided to enter the draft and give up his 2 years of eligability, but he's only a sophomore. Ndamukong Suh posted 6 TFL and 1 Sack as a sophomore, Richard Seymour had 4 sacks (couldn't find TFL), Jared Odrick had 4 TFL and 2 Sacks and Fletcher Cox had like 5.5 TFL and 2.5 sacks.

Most D-Linemen don't peak in year 2, and while he only had 2 sacks, 10 TFL is nothing to disreguard. I think had he gone back for a junior season and produced more, he'd be a top 5 pick, however because he didn't we may have a chance to select him at 14. It's almost like when the Giants took Jason Pierre Paul. He had only played 1 year of division 1A football and posted 15 TFL and 5 sacks, which for a DE, conventional wisdom says not worth the 15th pick when first round DEs usually produce more than that, but his upside was too much to pass up.

So im gonna go ahead and say you live here in Texas and you are a Big 12 football fan/ LSU because they get covered so much and threw in Zeitler becasue everyone else has?? terrible mock. there are other conferences out there you know, and even smaller schools!

I'm just not that high on Brockers. Out of the several players I would take at #14, he is probably the last one.

I live in Maryland and if I had a favorite football conference, it wouldn't be the Big 12
