Im not including anyone outside of NFLDS's top 40 #1 Colts= Andrew Luck, QB Stanford. No crap #2 Rams= Matt Kalil, OT,USC. Smith has been a bust, they need a franchise OT. Blackmon could be a possibility here as well #3 Vikings= Justin Backmon, WR OkSU. They need a big WR to team with Harvin for Ponder #4 Browns= Robert Griffen, QB, Baylor. Another rare prospect. Could be alot of trade activity at #2 for RGIII #5 Buccaneers= Morris Claiborn CB, LUU. CB is a dire need in TB with Barber probobly retiring and Talib being Talib #6 Washing= Reily Rieff, OT, Iowa. Wont be able to get there QB in the first as is, but in a pass rushing intensive division, give your QB a clean pocket. Bookend OTs are invaluable. #7 Jacksonville= Trent Richardson, HB, Alabama. I know they have MJD, but this is a pure value pick #8 Miami= Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford. Another team in the convo for a trade up to number 2. could also be a landing spot for Richardson #9 Carolina= Quinten Couples, DE UNC. Best pass rusher in the draft and a good counter to Johnson #10 Buffalo= Devin Still, DL, PSU. Bills trying to build a solid defensive front continues. A pass rusher is needed more, but no one is worth the #10 pick. #11 Kansas City- Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Alabama. May lose Carr in FA and will need to replace him #12 Seattle-Courtney Upshaw, DE, Alabama. A bit of a reach, but they need rushers bad #13 Arizona- David Decastro, OG, Stanford. One of the best OG prospects in a long time will become a leader in an area Arizona has long needed one #14 Dallas- Nick Perry, OLB, USC. I like him better then Upshaw as a conversion player. Will provide a dangerous rusher opposite Ware #15 Philadelphia- Ryan Tannihill, QB, TAMU. The Eagles are in need of a young franchise level QB to groom #16 NYJ- Melvin Ingram- DE South Carolina. One thing the Jets need on D is a pure pass rusher. On offense all they need is for Mark Sanchez not to such. Easier to draft a rusher #17 Cincinatti- Janorious Jenkins, CB, North Alabama- Need pick desperation pick, but with two firsts they can afford it. Jenkins is a top 10 talent, but got busted doing something the Bengals dont give a crap about #18 San Diego- Luke Kuchley ILB, BC- Great BPA pick. They could use a rusher, but you cant pass Kuchley here #19 Chicago- Michael Floyd, WR, ND- BPA pick at a need position for the Bears win, win. Compliments Knox well. Win, win, win. Similar to Cutlers old #1 in Denver. Win win, win, win. Eats the hearts of people that try to tackle him after the catch to steal there soul. Win, win, win, win, win #20 Tennesse- Michael Brockers, DT, LSU- After moving Jones to DE, the Titans havent been very strong up the middle. Brockers is solid value here and should start instantly #21 Cincinatti- Peter Konz, OC, 'Consin- Very highly graded OL who is very scheme versatile, can play OG in a pinch. Hits the second level and craps on your chest, is like a coked up hyhena/cheetah hybrid when pulling. Ok, maybe thats a bit of an over exxagertion, but a conerstone lineman none the less #22 Cleveland- Kendell Wright, WR, Baylor- RG3's top guy at Baylor follows him to Cleveland. Compliments Little well. Not as much of a "Screw my mouth, that was good" pick as Floyd. But good nonetheless #23- Detroit- Mark Barron. SS, Alabama. Could be him, could be Dennard. Very close. Ill give them Barron as the need both a SS and a CB and this is a deeper CB class #24- Pittsburgh- Alonzo Dennard. Fact= Dennard steals and has butt s*x with the souls of everyone he tackles. He makes Mathieu look like a hooker, and not even Chuck Norris can do that. Also mocking him to Pittsburgh guarantees that [MENTION=1390]K Train[/MENTION] will "like" this post #25- Denver-Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State. Broncos have been in need for interior DL help for year. Bunkley was solid, but they need more #26- Houston Donatari Poe, DT, Memphis . After taking Watt last year, Houston still needs an anchor to that front 7 #27- New England- Ashlon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina. Slipping, but is still great value here #28- Green Bay- Donte Hightower, ILB, Alabama. CB may be the biggest need, but they need help all over. Hightower is the best impact player left #29-Baltimore- Whitney Marcilous, DE/OLB, Illinios. O Gives Baltimore a dangerous pass rusher opposite Suggs #30- SF- Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers. 1 catch for 3 yards. Nufced #31- New York- Cordy Glenn. Big mauler is also the highest player on the board. Was rated ahead of Decastro at the beginning of the season. Compared to a heathy Shawn Andrews 32- NE-Jerrel Worthy, DT, Michigan State. Ok, I lied. Worthy was two spots ahead of Cordy. The Patriots really need to add talent to that front 7 of they are going to have some issues
coples is going to fall, i personally think hes exactly like jamaal anderson and he should play 5 tech in a canty-like role, he will not be a good pass rusher from a 43 brockers is going to go top 5, top 10 at worst by the time its all said and done. i love me dennard, hes a physical corner with a violent jam....i think the steelers go poe or mike adams there though, ideally i think i want konz or taze but dennard wont hurt my feelings. i still have to see what i think about cordy glenn, im just not sure yet but thats the typical steeler pick right now.....just look out for brandon washington to rise fast and be in the mix for that 24th pick too now i want to make one, damnit
This is a very nice mock. I can't see the Eagles going QB in round 1 though. I think they will wait until round 2.
i watched Sanu highlights in that ohio(u) where he set that big east record. real nice hands. from what i can tell... he finds the soft spot in zone coverage alot. im not sold that he is that much better than Nick Toon. Sanu has a better burst. What makes him that good?:icon_confused:
One thing I've been curious about, and you're not the only mock I've seen with Martin to Miami...to me Martin is the epitome of a finesse LT - tall, lanky, athletic, good lateral movement...do you see him as an RT?
in an ideal world you have a finesse LT to take on edge rushers at ROLB and RE, and a RT that can take on Power LEs and LOLBs but its definitely far from set in stone that way. Most RTs would make average to servicable LTs and most LTs would make great RTs Also there has been talks about miami trading jake long, might be insanity but its still rumblings. LEft tackle though, as important of a position as it is has become pretty overrated...you have a handful of elites and then a ton of middle of the pack LTs. the coorelation between elite LT and winning teams is nearly non existant too...jmo
SD better be looking at 3 things: 1. O-line to give Rivers time to throw 2. DB to give us the playmaker we havent had since Rodney Harrison 3. OLB to bolster our pass rush and put Larry English back where he belongs, and thats on the sideline
I think the traditional differense between LT and RT types are quickly fading as you seem to be getting a lot more speed on the left side of the defense then in the past. Finness RT's are becoming more popular
Call me crazy, but when is setting up one of the most potent run games a fineness LT? From what I have seen from Moose is that he was more a run blocker than a pass blocker.
Not so much a finness as he would be a finness RT, one that's capable of handing speed rushers on the strong side.
