Throwing my hat into mock status..

[InDakWeTrust]

1. #9. Dallas trades down...to Miami for #15, #79, and #110. I also see us trading a future pick like next years 4th rounder or Marion Barber, depending on CBA status on draft day.

1. #15. Tyron Smith OT USC.
Smith fits in great after the run on pass rushers by teams in the first dozen picks, plus we get an additional 3rd and 4th. Smith can either sit on the bench behind Columbo, and be the swing tackle, also making Alex Barron expendable, or start at RT if Columbo is let go.

2. #40. Brandon Harris CB Da U.
He might not last this long come draft day, but going with a CB or 3-4 Dlineman here you cannot do so wrong because of the depth at both positions in this tier, Heyward, Nevis, and Paea would be great picks here too. Harris isn't a quality press corner, but he can play man CB as good as anyone not named Peterson in this draft IMO. Being measured at 5-9.5 at the combine will push him down, but the kid can cover without a doubt.

3a. #71. Deunta Williams S UNC.
Williams might not last this long either, but the broken tibula will keep him from going as high as he was able to before the injury obviously. With the extra 3rd rounder, I don't have any complaints with him sitting, but we still need another safety if we aren't going to offer Sensabaugh a deal here.

3b. #79 (from Miami) Jerrell Powe NT Mississippi.
Cannot believe he falls, but conditioning issues causes him to start to slip, but, he can step in for Rat at NT and we can move and rotate everybody on the Dline. The more fresh bodies the better, and this man can definitely demand a double team if he is fresh.

4a. #109. Kelvin Sheppard LB LSU.
Another 4th round LB from LSU? Hellyeah. Inside thumper who can sit behind Lee/James and wait to take over for James in a year or two. Might be a little high for him, but he still does nothing but make tackles, he can be a little slow in reacting to playaction and he is a little too stiff to be a cover guy right away.

4b. #110 (from Miami) Marcus Gilchrist DB Clemson.
Mayock opened my eyes to this guy. He is at the ball all the time and yes, I know they were harping that he only has one interception in his college career, but he can be a CB or S, whatever we need him to be.

5. #140. Armon Binns WR Cinn.
A talented, but inconsistant prospect. hopefully can beat out Holley and Johnson for a spot as the no. 4 or 5 and eventually possibly become a no.3 behind "Austin Miles" and Dez.

6. #171 Daniel Kilgore OG Appalachian St.
Developmental backup Olineman with a fiery attitude and a play to the whistle motor. Needs some technique work, but here's to hoping he can become a good backup who stays healthy moreso than Montrae Holland.

7. #209 Shiloh Keo S Idaho.
Developmental Special Teamer who gives it all regardless of the score and got my attention by laying out for a ball at the combine today! We always need someone from Hawaiian or Samoan heritage on this team!

UDFA's:
Greg McElroy QB (For Hos)
Damien Berry RB Miami
Colin McCarthy LB Miami
Michael Janac DE Marshall
Ross Homan LB Ohio State
Andrew Rich BYU

These UDFA's might not have any measurables but they all play football with a 110% motor.

Tyron Smith will be long gone by 15.

 

[supercowboy8]

Tyron Smith will be long gone by 15.

I hope he is long gone by 9, the guy is only a RT and I don't even thing he can start at RT day one.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

He has the ability, I'm still hesitant taking him or a 3-4 DE at #9, but at #15 I'd be all for it..plus his injury might throw certain teams off. The depth and value for Olineman is much greater in the middle rounds.

 

[bbgun]

Greater likelihood that Smith is there at 15 than Harris being on the board at 40.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

The first two picks will not last that long buddy...

7. #209 Shiloh Keo S Idaho.

I like it, its actually not far off of mine. Like the Gilchrist pick. Not 100% sold on Smith though, might take a different T there or take Harris at 15 and Carimi at 40.
I'd also like to see an infusion of speed/playmaking ability in every draft, I was onto Cecil Shorts but after the combine I like Cobb as that guy. I also think we need a powerback like Helu or Clay with a late pick.

 

[9darter]

Love the majority of your picks. But I highly doubt Smith and Harris are there at 15 and 40.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

Harris may be smooth, but we usually never see a CB who is under 5-10 drafted in the first round, and everyone in front of us in the second will be focusing on Olineman and the second tier of pass rushers too, IMO.

In the next week after I watch some more games from some prospects I'll do another mock. Unless Smith wow's at his pro day, depending on how the QB's fall and the wants of the 5-8 teams behind us, we may be forced to select Smith at 9. But this is just a mock. And all you guys seem to like the later picks besides Smith, and some don't think he will be there, so makes me think "hmmm?"
