This is assuming we are picking in the mid 20's...gotta be optimistic right?

1st Round- Markus Golden DE Mizzu- This is 1 of my favorite pass rushers in this draft. Listed at 6'3 260 he has a powerful frame with at least adequate length. I'm not sure I'd say his initial burst is quite elite, but his burst is pretty darn impressive. He's more than capable of beating OT's with his burst and has the necessary flexibility to duck and turn the corner. But what do I like most about Golden? His motor. You would swear this kid is a LB based on how much of the field he covers whole chasing down ball carriers.

2nd Round- PJ Williams CB Florida State- 6'0 195 with 4.4 speed. National championship game MVP last year and has continued to play well this year. He has the combo of size, speed, and overall athletic ability to be a dominant CB in the NFL.

3rd Round- Tevin Coleman RB Indiana- 6'0 210 with breakaway speed. Averaging 8 yards per carry this year, yes 8. He looks like a man amongst boys at times running against Indiana's schedule. He honestly reminds a little of McFadden watching him run. If he really does have the same skillset and can stay healthy he'd be a steal in the 5th rounder.

4th Round- Gabe Wright DT Auburn- Fits the mold to a T of a Marinelli DT. I really see Wright being a steal for our defense in the middle rounds as I think he's playing out of place being shifted between DE and DT at Auburn. 6'3 285 with a very impressive burst off of the lines at times..needs to show that pass rush a little more consistently, but a scheme change to a Marinelli gap shooting D could really help him.

5th Round- Cody Fajardo QB Nevada- We need to draft someone, I can't really believe that Dustin Vaughan is thought of as a possible replacement of Romo. Fajardo has a very interesting skill set to me, but would need a ton of work. He is by no means a play early guy, but I think he has the arm to make all NFL throws and his legs could be a real weapon. Him and Keapernick are the only 2 players in NCAA history to throw for 9,000 yards and rush for 3,000 yards. Pretty impressive regardless of the offense he's in. Give him 2 years to learn an offense and develop more and he could be a good 1.

Interesting tm. There's some things to like.

Not crazy about Fajardo though. I'm just not big on these runner/throwers. I'd much rather have a Romo-type, meaning a guy who has some mobility in the pocket but isn't a runner. I'm looking for who has a high YPA, who looks to throw downfield first, and then checks-down.

That's a good name RS... Romo-size 6'2, 218. Decent YPA. Good completion percentage.

What round do you think this kid would be available?

For whatever reason Fajardo's stats are down this year. His YPA were in the decent range with Carden every other year. I can see why he wouldn't be every one's cup of tea though. He definitely has his flaws, but that's what you get in the 5th round

Like your first 4 picks. I dont't know much your 5th rounder. My only critic is I think the picks from 2-4 will go earlier than when we are picking.

I'm not a fan of Golden as a 1st round pick. He's not great off the edge and is slow off the line. Plays with power more than quickness and doesn't show much pass rush moves. Does have a non stop motor mixed with his power is how he gets most of his sacks. Ealy was better and was a 2nd round pick. I think Golden is a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Marinelli likes quickness.

I'd take it overall, esp the first 4 picks.
Although, I'd grab DE Shilique Calhoun or the Louisville S Holliman over Golden if still available.
I think PJ Williams is long gone by our 2nd round pick but would be a tremendous pick up if still there. Even when guys have made catches on him, he was draped all over the guy like glue.
Like the third round pick a lot.
DE Flowers from Arkansas also intrigues me in the second-third rounds

Not sure I agree at all that he's slow off of the line. Like I said, he's not elite (like his teammate Drew), but he looks quick enough to me. You could argue that he doesn't show the burst quite enough yet, but it's definitely there. Draftbreakdown hasn't put many Mizzu games up yet, but just from the 2 2014 games they do have...
