Shady's Mock 3.0

The Colts won’t draft Mays. My feelings on him aside, he’s not our type of player. I mean, he could take over for Wheeler at WOLB, I guess, but Wheeler’s serviceable and there are more pressing needs. In our defense the MLB has to be MUCH better in coverage than Mays, and Session isn’t going anywhere on the strong side. That leaves Mays’s best bet at playing time at a safety position, where he’s still not good enough in coverage. If for some inexplicable reason they part ways with Bob Sanders during an uncapped year, where Bob’s only making 2.5 mil, I can see Mays getting some consideration, but he’s still be a huge coverage downgrade, and almost a liability against the pass. Remember, this is a team that is obsessed with stopping long plays. Pouncey, Gresham and even Perrish Cox would’ve made more sense there, and they were all available.

Also, I don’t think the Packers would pick Charles Brown. They like their OTs bigger than Brown, it seems.

And Geno Atkins can get reacquainted with “Lupita” on Dallass.

Interesting that a few now have Big Bad Rolando McClain falling to the Gints.

I will cream in my pants

1st Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma nuff said
2nd Chad Jones, SS, LSU i think this is a tad soon for him but it does fill a need.. i hope the go CB though.. jones isnt as versitel as JS likes in his S… Morgan Burnett is more of a fit for what he likes.. he can play both FS and SS..
3rd Alex Carrington, DE, Arkansas State more of are problem is pass rush… and carrington is more of a run stopper( though we need that as well) so i donno what to think here.. you can make the agreement he is the best DE on bored but i donno that he real fits us that well

basically good job on positions just not the players/ scheme

Most ridiculous mock draft I have ever seen for the Chiefs. A guy from D-II Hillsdale as a 3rd round pick? Come on!

        I could see this for the Rams. If Bradford did start to plummet, I would hope we’d trade up to get him and Suh though. But I like the idea of staying in the trenches for the first 2 rounds, and Pouncy is the best non-iupati or OT on the board, for O-line.

over a guy like Lafell? I have been hearing Lafell is the better one.Can you explain your resoning?

no spiller…rb wont be addressed till round 3 the earliest…dez bryant maybe…otherwise Carles Brown even…then maybe a guy like troup in the 3rd if we go OL in 1st

However, there is no way Carrington [a 3-4 DE] is drafted by Detroit. A Guard/Tackle like Calloway or John Jerry would be better or the CB , Brandon Ghee, that you have at the bottom of the round would be even better.

Lastly, if Bradford lasts until #30 he has to show that he is damaged goods. If he looks okay in his pro day and private workouts he will go by the eleventh pick. Hell, I think the Patriots would snap him up at #22 just based on value. Then what about the Cardinals at #26.

You get a QB with the #6, a ZBS LT with the #14 (here’s hoping he holds up) and risky high-upside DE in the second. I’m not a big fan of drafting Campbell with the #6 or Dunlap in the first round, but they look pretty decent at #14 and #40, respectively.

and about how I expect to go, 3 lbers in first 3 rounds

Personally I prefer rolando mcclain to Price, however I’d still like getting Price.

Do you think Tebow could drop to the Jaguars in the 4th?

Cam Thomas would be the pick at #41 to man the nose. Houston is only 300 pounds, severely undersized for a NT.

I like Cam Thomas, though maybe not in the 2nd. I like Mike Johnson in the third, though I’d prefer John Jerry at this point. The pick that gets to me is Jared Odrick in the first; I mean, wouldn’t even Brian Price be a better gamble for DT-turned-DE at that point? Not to mention the more than half a dozen prospects that would be better value and otherwise associated with Denver still available…

You might be right about Davis having a great combine & moving ahead of Okung but I like Okung better because I think he will be a perfect fit in Shannahans ZBS. I doubt that a WR will be their #2 pick tho, especially Arrelious Benn as he is much like Devin Thomas who they drafted in the 2nd two years ago. They have Santana Moss, Antwan Randle El & Malcolm Kelly as well as Thomas so they are set at WR.

There is no way the Dolphins pass on McClain unless Dez Bryant or Eric Berry are there at 12.

- I do not think Weatherspoon will make it out of the top 25.
- Don’t see Nate Allen being drafted that early.
- Think Daryl Washington will go in the 2nd, but first in the 3rd sounds good still
- And where in the world did you get the hunch that Pierre-Paul is going to be a top 5 pick? I agree that he is really good (Justin Tuck mold), but no way he goes even in the top 20.

I don’t like that all the players I want in the first round are gone before the Steelers pick. Therefore this is obviously a horrible mock.

I fear it will happen though, and Spikes would work, although I’d love to see Graham in that slot and Warren in the second (Go Blue!!)

Lupati fell in this mock compared to most, Just wondering why, are you not high on him, or you expect a poor combine?

If the 12-17 picks go like your mock Steeler fans will be pulling out their hair and yelling about not trading up. Then passing on Lupati will have them calling for Tomlin’s head.

I’ve said it plenty of times, I’ll say it again. 0% chance the Dolphins take a weakside rush linebacker with there first round pick. Especially is Rolando McClain is still available. Yes, you’re absolutely right, the rush linebacker position is far more important in a 3-4 defense than an ILB. However, if the Fins do decide to go with a rush linebacker in round one, it will be for one who can play strongside linebacker like Brandon Graham or Jason Pierre-Paul. The Fins already have Cameron Wake and Jason Taylor to play the weakside. The reason for Miami’s struggles rushing the QB last season were two words… Joey Porter. Because Porter played on the weakside, Jason Taylor was forced to move to the strongside where not only does the QB see when you’re coming, but you are going up against a much bigger (maybe a little less athletic) offensive tackle where you can easily be thrown around like a rag doll if you are not built Ford tough. Even then, JT was able to accumulate 8 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and an INT for a TD at 34 years of age. Not terrible I must say. He’ll be moving back to the weakside next season. Another reason why Cameron Wake. Dudes a freak and he’ll prove it next season as he’ll finally be the starting weakside linebacker, as he should have been if it wasn’t for Joey Porter starting who frankly shouldn’t even have been on the field if it wasn’t for him being the vocal leader of this team. Porter was a cancer to the Fins both on the field with his poor play and off it with his big mouth. Now that he’s gone, Wake and JT will split time on the weakside. That is filled. The Fins don’t need another weakside LB, they already had a difficult time with 3 weakside LB’s last season and no one to man the strongside (although I blame management for that, they had the perfect guy in Matt Roth but they cut him. That bit us in the ass!). Kindle should be completely out of the question as he’ll get killed on the strong side. If the Fins go OLB, it’ll be Graham who’s strong enough to shed RT’s. OLB is really not that big of a need as some of you guys may think it is for the Fins. Especially not Weakside. Yes Porter is gone, but that might actually be an upgrade considering all I’ve stated above.
The Dolphins simply won’t pass on Rolando McClain for yet another weakside linebacker. Maybe Jerry Hughes could handle the strongside, but I’m still up in the air on that. I don’t think he’s strong enough.

Roth is just an example cause he played for the Fins.

Greg Hardy can move man. I think he can do it. The both can get to the sidelines and are good against the run which is what you look for from your outside linebackers (besides rushing the QB.) I honestly believe they can. Maybe I’m alone on this one but if Griffin dropped to the Fins in round 2 and I had to choose between him and let’s say…. Ricky Sapp, I’m going with Griffin and converting him to a strongside linebacker.

He has a lot of talent, but he was never great under pressure or throwing into tight windows. I don’t think he can handle the NFL well. That’s why I hope the Vikings would not take him in the first round, even if he fell.
