Carey's Pre-Combine Mock Draft

1. St. Louis- Jimmy Clausen-this team desperately needs a franchise QB, Suh is an option especially since Spagnulo's defenses start up front, in the end they go QB

2. Detroit- Ndamukong Suh-best player in the draft falls in their lap, dominant player solidify the line and set the table for the rest of the defense.

3. Tampa Bay- Gerald Mccoy- Perfect fit for they're Defense. They'll consider Berry who is obviously a better player but they already have Piscatelli and Tanard Jackson

4. Washington- Russell Okung- Washington takes the first step in rebuilding the line, Campbell is solid and they could win with him with an improved line and better coaching

5. Kansas City- Eric Berry- A better tackling Ed Reed, prospects like him dont come around often, gives them and instant playmaker in a position of need

6. Seattle- Sam Bradford- I think they'll view this as a rare opportunity to get a franchise QB and still get a impact player at 14.

7. Cleveland- Dez Bryant- Impact WR, him Massaqoui, and Robiskie will make a nice trio going forward.

8. Oakland- Anthony Davis- Al likes nasty tackles, this guy fits the bill also is pretty athletic, we know anything could happen when this pick comes up but im going with Davis

9. Buffalo- Bruce Campbell- This team is extremely desperate for a tackle, prototype LT, excels as a pass protector

10. Jacksonville- Derrick Morgan- I know they have Harvey and Groves but they havent done much, Morgan is the best complete DE in this draft

11. Denver- Terrance Cody- a little high for Cody but the Broncos desperately need a impact space eater to make this defense work, Mt. Cody is just that.

12. Miami- Rolando Mcclain- Will step right in from day one beside Crowder, a Parcells type of player, smart and physical, one of the most ready players in this draft

13. San Faransico- Joe Haden- Haden falls in they're lap, they could use corner help a Haden has all the tools to be a pro bowl corner in time

14. Seattle- Taylor Mays-desperate for an upgrade at safety, they'll consider Brian Price here but in the end they go with more of a need as Carroll is able to get one of his boys

15. New York G- Earl Thomas- Mlb is a need but i think they can get that later, Spikes would be an option but do they take him at 15? idk could be 50/50. Ill go Thomas here then go lb round 2.

16. Tennesee- Donovan Warren- They'll reach a little here and they'll also go with potential over more seasoned guys but like Haden has all the tools to be very good.

17. San Fransico- Bryan Bulaga- They solidify the right side with this pick, Spiller is an option, so is Wr but i think they are best served getting Bulaga here

18. Pittsburgh- Dan Williams- Hampton may be too rich for their blood, Williams capatilizes off being one of 2 quality nose tackles worthy of taking in round one.

19. Atlanta- Jared Odrick- Nice fit as a 3 technique for Atlanta, Corner is also a need but i think they'll wait till the second

20. Houston- Brandon Ghee- Underrated corner, will rise up boards in the coming months, def. need for Houston, especially with the Dunta Robinson contract situation.

21. Cincinatti- Golden Tate- This team is in desperate need of someone to stretch the field. Tate brings that and ability after the catch, Im sure Chad will love this pick.

22. New England- Brandon Graham-The cupboard is bare at OLB, Graham instantly becomes a starter and gives them a much needed boost to their pass rush

23. Green Bay- Charles Brown- He's a little small so it is a gamble but he does have alot of ability, and projects a good pass protecting LT

24. Philadelphia- Brandon Spikes- The fact that they brought Trotter back lets you know how bad off they were after the injuries, Spikes gives them a instant playmaker

25. Baltimore- Demaryius Thomas - This pick could be Brandon Lafell or Damian Williams as well, as long as its Wr. Thomas will shoot up draft boards, trading down into the early 2nd is also a possibilty while still securing on of the 3

26. Cardinals- Cory Wooton- They could use some help up front, could be a nice 3-4 end tho he is undersized

27. Dallas- Mike Iupati- After the way the got pushed around against Minnesota he's the perfect guy for them, physical mauler who can improve their run game even more

28. San Diego- CJ Spiller- Not the ideal fit but the talent too much to pass up, this pick could go alot of ways, i could see this pick being Dwyer or them trading down as well.

29. New York J- Kyle Wilson- With Lito Sheppard likely gone the Jets get a good cover corner here. Just seems like a good fit for a Rex Ryan defense.

30. Minnesota- Everson Griffen- Great value here, Ray Edwards will be a free agent and this offseason and he may get a decent deal, if not this still gives them another guy that can get to the QB.

31. New Orleans- Sean Weatherspoon- gives them another playmaker at the LB position, perfect for their defense, they'll estatic to get him.

32. Indianapolis- Jason Pierre Paul- Indy has the luxury to take value here, Freeney and Mathis have contracts coming up soon and this gives them some insurance.

 

id be furious at the dan williams pick.

wilson will go in front of ghee and maybe ahead of warren

 

Who would you take at 18 if it fell that way? I personally like Wilson better then the other 2, I just think tho guys will be more physically intruiging

 

id like them to move up one and get bulaga lol

if 1-17 went that way give me spikes, graham, iupati, or even spiller at 18

MAYBE wilson, big maybe though

 

So what do you think they'll do at the nose? will Hampton be back?

 

actually witherspoon is growing on me too....i would be ok with it, hes not the best fit for a 34 but neither is timmons. hes a tackling machine and at least we would be drafting a mizzou player with talent this time


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

i think hampton will be back for a year....maybe two if they can work something out rather than franchise him. i would love dan williams in houston or tennessee or atlanta or tampa.....not in a 34 though

 

Just a couple thoughts...

Eric Berry, isn't going to be great right off the bat. He'll show flashes but mostly he'll struggle or not even be noticeable. It also depend on which team he gets drafted by and which defense he's in.

Golden Tate, Is the WR to solve all problems. But going to cinci might be nice for him.

Jimmy Clausen like Brady Quinn can be extremely inaccurate at times.

DeMaRyius Thomas = Boss Beast

 

Same here! I think Witherspoon is gonna be a defensive rookie of the year canidate

 

if byrd can be great in buffalo his rookie year, an elite prospect like berry could certainly stand out on an overall sad team


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

all these years ive thought it was witherspoon....and its weatherspoon lol

 

I still hate Bradford in the top 10 eventop 15

And Cody to Denver is a big no-no, he is a 2 down man at best anyway..put him in Denver and him walking onto the field is an accomplishment that high up

 

And Cody to Denver is a big no-no, he is a 2 down man at best anyway..put him in Denver and him walking onto the field is an accomplishment that high up[/QUOTE]

Makes alot of sense, Everyone knows Cody is a 2 down player at this point, i also see the broncos trading down. I just think that defense is terribly undersized and had major problems against the run later in the year.

 

I like the Spiller to Chargers pick but I could see them drafting a WR or Safety possibly. Maybe Damian Williams. Im not sure.

 

I love Iupati and so does the Cowboys brass

But Im getting the feeling he is gonna be long gone by the time we pick

 

Iupati, Spikes, or Spiller available at 24?

I'd shat myself if that kind of talent was still there for the Eagles.

 

spikes is the most likely...i cant see the top RB being there still

 

No way in hell Sergio Kindle falls out of the first. We'd take him over Wooten in a second.

 

If the Cards were smart they would take Hughes over Kindle. I don't think Kindle went to the senior bowl, so that didn't help him either.

 

everyone said the same thing about everette brown last year too

 

Tom Cable had a LASER like Beam focused on Mike Lupati all week... (Reports say)
The reason why I bring this up is because Al Davis didn't allow Tom Cable to scout players last year.

I want Al Davis to draft Taylor Mays, but I also want this team to win! So if by drafting Mike Lupati gets us in the Playoffs... then i'm all for it!

 

Why?


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

And it's Iupati not Lupati.
