No consideration to trades, etc.
Guys I like:
1. OT - DJ Fluker - Alabama
2. DE - Datone Jones - UCLA or Tank Carradine - Florida St
3. CB - BW Webb - William & Mary
4. RB - Christine Michael - Texas A&M
5. OG - Earl Watford - JMU
6. S - Bacarri Rambo - Georgia
I certainly won't argue the fact, but opinions do vary.
Kiper rates Fluker # 19 overall, and most teams don't value a RT in round one as much as we should... if not, I'll be happy with DL
He rates Jones and Carradine 38 & 44 and has Carradine going at 44 in round 2...striking distance.
Webb he ranks 78 overall and in same round. Small school could easily push him a little, and I actually do believe the OG from JMU makes it that far.
Michael doesn't make his three round mock...few RBs do, so why not 4th round for 8th ranked RB?
If Rambo goes earlier or is off our board, I really like his Georgia mate too.
I may not hit on any of these guys, but I would love it because I feel much more desperate for a long term bookend OT. I think we have lots of former 3-4 DEs who can play DT, but we need another DE who can play either side while others seem to be looking for the speedier pass rushers these days. Also, while I'm not sold on our safeties, we need a Quality 4th CB worse with Jenkins gone, especially with no real studs at S this year. I think we'll find a safety who can compete much later than many suspect.
Mock drafts are all a shot in the dark, and there will be plenty of surprises next week. Time will tell. I can dream.
