Sasquatch Mock 1.0

[Sasquatch]

I actually drew this up a while ago but don't feel any compelling need to change.

Enjoy.

2 (51) Patrick Chung, S. Oregon, 5’11”, 212, 4.49
Since Hamlin neither excels at coverage nor run defense, we draft a safety prospect that is solid in both facets of the game, giving us some flexibility with our defensive schemes. In addition to being a good all-around safety prospect, Chung is a warrior who loves to play the game, and players like that are always welcome on my team.

3 (69) Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU, 6’1”, 242, 4.75
Beckwith gives us much-needed depth and sideline-to-sideline ability at the ILB position. As mentioned in other mocks, Beckwith is a possible replacement for Burnett in the nickel, but hopefully his stouter frame will enable him to withstand the rigors of the NFL a little better than his predecessor. By most accounts, he’s a smart player who understands the nuances the games and the responsibilities that come with being a team leader. That’s the kind of guy that I want to draft in the first few rounds.

4 (97) Jonathan Luigs, C/G, Arkansas 6’4”, 301
The revamping of our frustratingly inconsistent OL commences. Luigs, who is smart, consistent, technically sound in most facets of the game, and anchored the line that blocked for the McFadden/Jones two-headed running beast, will be groomed as our center of the future. In the meantime, his presence will motivate Gurode by giving him some legitimate competition and provide our OL with some flexibility in the event of injuries. I’ve noticed there hasn’t been much love for Luigs on this board because he supposedly does not fit the “Hudson Houck mold" but he possesses the frame to carry more weight, get stronger, and Houck seemed to work just fine with Mark Stepnoski who was a bit smaller.

4 (113) Kevin Barnes, CB, Maryland, 6’0”, 187, 4.45
You cannot have too many CBs in today’s NFL. Barnes has an excellent size/speed ratio and could develop into the solid corner with a little seasoning and development.

5 (148) Zach Folett, OLB, California, 6’2, 236, 4.69
We need to start planning for life without Greg Ellis. In addition to being a good pass rusher, an intimidating hitter, and decent cover linebacker, Follett has a fiery and passionate disposition which would inject some life into our sometimes impassive defense.

5 (158) CJ Spillman, S, Marshall, 6’0”, 197, 4.45
Not only does Spillman provide depth at a safety position that is suddenly thin but with his speed and playmaking ability he could develop into the type of ball-hawking FS that the defense has been lacking for years.

5 (comp) Vance Walker, DT, Georgia Tech, 6’2”, 304
Time to start finding some new talent for the defensive line. I admit that I haven’t seen Walker play much (only once actually and he did nothing to stand out), and I’ve read mixed reviews, but I’d be willing to take a chance on him in the fifth in the hopes of upgrading our backup DT talent.

6 (184) Joel Bell, OT, Furman, 6’7”, 315
Athletically talented prospect who has the physical tools to play left tackle at the next level. While I’m not expecting any miracles with this pick we have to start “turning over rocks” to find a replacement for the perennially maddening play of Flozell.

6 (comp) Chris Baker, DT, Hampton, 6’2”, 308
Baker has the size, strength, and versatility to be a real asset to our DL rotation as either DT or DE. Taking him in the sixth is worth the gamble despite his character issues.

7 (193) Deon Butler, WR, PSU, 5’11”, 182, 4.31
Butler is not only fast and quick but a very polished receiver in his own right. I’m pretty content with our receiving corps even after the departure of TO but we could certainly use someone with his skill set in the slot.

7 (210) Stanley Arnoux, ILB, Wake Forest, 6’0”, 232, 4.56
Athletic, productive, and durable inside linebacker to provide depth in the event that Bobby Carpenter never pans out.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

You lost me at Patrick Chung...

 

[Bob Sacamano]

^^^^^obstinate fool

quatch, I love it

 

[KingintheNorth]

I'm hoping we can do better than Chung at 51 but I could live with that pick.

I can't stand Beckwith and want no part of him.

I feel there are 4 or 5 decent centers this year and Luigs is #5. If the other 4 are gone at this point then okay.

I like the other picks.

 

[jterrell]

I like the draft. A-.

I'd rather have other safeties over Chung but I like going safety there and think that player steps in with a shot to play a lot early or even start.

I also going Center better than OG and I ten to like a couple other Center's better this guy is a solid fit who could move Gurode back to OG or at least displace Proctor as the de facto interior backup.

I really like Beckwith. He is a high upside guy who can play the pass quite well and most ILB really struggle in that area. So he's a day 1 nickel guy imho who can also play special teams.

I agree except the part where you think Beckwith is an upside guy

I think he's pretty much reached his ceiling, but he'll be a solid pro, maybe borderline Pro Bowl

That's simply not good enough for you?

Chung=overrated

Watch him get torched then come back to me and complain about it.

If Bob Sanders and Ed Reed had a baby I would call it Louis Delmas.

I said that wasn't good enough? hmmm, point me to that statement

I wouldn't, just cream of a poor safety class

I don't know why you place Delmas on such a high pedestal, he doesn't do anything very well

I would really like to see us take a safety with either the first or second pick, as we are dangerously thin at the position and I want to keep Scandrick at corner. At this point, I'm thinking Chung or Moore, since Hamlin's run stopping was suspect last year but the Spillman selection should indicate that I'm aware of the need to find a center fielder type as well.

It's not that I don't want to completely overhaul the O-line but with our current roster and their contracts, and our position in the draft, I think, like you, that drafting a C makes the most sense as it gives us depth at both the C and OG positions. I like Luigs because he's smart, technically sound, should be available, and athletic enough to block for Felix or Tashard on screen passes. The main knock on him is his strength which I believe will improve with an NFL strength training program.

I agree with Bob's assessment that Beckwith is at or is close to his ceiling but I hope you're right that he has further to go before maxing out his potential. I look at him as a solid pick but am not expecting miracles.

Your agenda of Delmas or nobody is getting annoying.

Nice job Sas

 

[COWBOYSNUM1]

I really like this mock draft. I don't think that Chung or Beckwith will either one last this long but, I would be happy if they did.

GREAT JOB.

 

[the kid 05]

If Bob Sanders and Ed Reed had a baby I would call it Louis Delmas.

no if two guys had a baby they would call it a break through

 

[BAT]

If anyone is overrated, it is Beckwith. He is not a violent hitter, great in coverage or a playmaker. His lack of production, not to mention athleticism (4.75 40 for a nickel LB???), speaks volumes. And those comparing him to Burnett do Burnett a diservice (Burnett is bigger (6'3 to 6'0), faster, better in coverage and a harder hitter.

Beckwith has intangibles but his play as never lived up to all the pub.

And Luigs would not survive in Houck's power blocking scheme, he is a finesse player that would be much more successful in a zone blocking scheme.

 

[Goldenrichards83]

Love it but I doubt Chris Baker lasts that long he is climbing to maybe a 3rd or early 4th. Luigs like Bat stated is a finnese blocker, if Antoine caldwell is on the board I would nab him there.
